I will be starting the review shorty JDOG555 (talk) 21:06, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Quick Comments

Just some quick comments, the repitive use of "he" is annoying  Done. I noticed some of your sentences are a couple words long and start with "he". The personal life section needs to be expanded. I'll give a full list of comments later JDOG555 (talk) 21:31, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have replaced a bunch of the "he"s.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:14, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

Disregard
The lead for this article is good only 2 things I would consider changing or removing Lead seems pretty good, can't seem anything wrong with it
Disregard
  • "He has endured disciplinary issues that have necessitated transfers in both high school and college."
    Is this neccessary? Sounds kinda uneeded to me.
Unless you think it is misleading or POV it should remain, IMO. So much of the text describes the issues at Minnesota, that I can't see how you could summarize the article and not include at least that.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:22, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Works for me JDOG555 (talk) 01:42, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Disregard
  • "His success at the college and professional level is highly anticipated."
    I would suggest removing this statement, too bias.
This is also a summary of points in the text: 1.) expected NBA first rounder 2.) Big 12 Preseason Newcomeer of the Year. Considering the specific prose it is summarizing, is it still biased?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:25, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Result: Delist, as the article has not been kept up to date + there are NPOV concerns. Femke (talk) 17:05, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article is woefully outdated. It does not include enough details about White's recent political activities, public statements, or his recently announced campaign for congress (MN-05). Also, as others have pointed out on the talk page, negative edits tend be removed quickly (possibly by a PR team?). It no longer meets the criteria for a good article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minneapples (talk • contribs) 17:15, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Congressional Candidate.

The article claims Royce “embraced a host of conspiracy theories” yet give no proof via citations. It should be removed or updated with citations and listing at least 2 of his conspiracy theories when he was running for congress seeing how it’s defamatory otherwise and misrepresents his character to readers.

 Done. I 100% agree with your take on the offending passage. While it was there, it certainly was a breach of Wikipedia's neutrality standards; and a framework intended to preemptively discredit White's beliefs and activities, which is not inherently the purpose of Wikipedia nor the coverage it supplies. Thanks for bringing it up here. Mungo Kitsch (talk) 19:15, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
