I'll review this one. I hope to have my initial assessment ready soon. Phlsph7 (talk) 08:33, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
Unfortunately, this is a quick fail: there are too many unreferenced paragraphs and even a few sections have no references. This problem was already pointed out in an earlier GA review. I've added various "Citation needed"-tags to highlight the problem. This should really be addressed before the next nomination. Phlsph7 (talk) 09:05, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
A few other things that caught my eye:
= Prose =
- {{tq|It has been ranked as among the best public universities}}: remove "as"
- {{tq|Purdue faculty, students, alumni and other affiliates have reached}}: add Oxford comma after "alumni"
- {{tq|Its alumni have included 26 astronauts, 6 current Fortune 500 CEOs, 2 Rhodes Scholars, 4 Truman Scholars and 3 Gates Scholars.}}: add Oxford comma after "Truman Scholars"
- {{tq|Purdue University announced plans to acquire for-profit college Kaplan University}}: add "the" after "acquire";
- {{tq| But some time in the 1910s the teams became segregated, and remained }}: remove comma after "segregated"
- {{tq|This area also includes the Krannert School of Management, Horticulture Gardens, Discovery Park, Lyles Porter Hall and the Purdue Airport. }}: add Oxford comma after "Lyles Porter Hall"
= Sources =
- WP:EARWIG shows one copyvio with [https://sciencesprings.wordpress.com/tag/anthropology/ https://sciencesprings.wordpress.com/tag/anthropology/]. But it's probably them who copied from us.
- User:Headbomb/unreliable marks no sources as unreliable.
- The great majority of the sources are from Purdue University itself so a bit more diversity would be good.
= Others =
- There are currently no edit wars.
- The article contains various duplicates links (see WP:DUPLINK) like Frederick L. Hovde, Lafayette, Indiana, West Lafayette, Indiana, Purdue Memorial Union, John Purdue, Purdue University Airport, and Ross–Ade Stadium.
- Some cases of WP:OVERCITE:
- {{tq|Purdue has over 400,000 living alumni. Its alumni have included 26 astronauts, 6 current Fortune 500 CEOs, 2 Rhodes Scholars, 4 Truman Scholars and 3 Gates Scholars.[14][15][16][17][18][19]}}
- {{tq|There are also a few campus radio stations on campus. Currently, three radio stations operate from residence halls, broadcasting via internet only; WCCR from Cary Quadrangle (not to be confused with the current WCCR FM or WCCR-LP stations in other states), WILY from Wiley Hall, and WHHR from Harrison Hall.[145][146][147][148]}}
