I got this one. As we discussed on my talk page, I'm sufficiently free from any personal COI as I haven't been a major contributor to this page. And, since it's Spanneraol's first GA nom, I'll give this a good, thorough review and make him a regular GA participant. I won't complete my review for a few days though. Got a busy day at work tomorrow. – Muboshgu ( talk) 15:32, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
Time to get started...
GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
More to come... – Muboshgu ( talk) 20:09, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
I didn't mean for a whole week to pass before I continued. My apologies, but life has been kinda hectic lately. Onward... – Muboshgu ( talk) 18:57, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
I'll come back to check on the article this afternoon. Got some work to do now. Depending on how it reads, I may pass it, or I may find some other issues I didn't find the first time. – Muboshgu ( talk) 14:32, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
I'm still uncomfortable with the statement "Kershaw was considered the top high-school pitcher available", when BA only says he was "considered a cinch first-round pick, and possibly the first high school player selected". Either change the statement to be more in line with what BA said, or find something more concrete that he was the consensus best high school pitcher available. After that, I think we're good here. – Muboshgu ( talk) 19:07, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
He was announced as the NL Cy Young Award Winner on November 13, 2014.
@ EricEnfermero: In regards to disputing my conributions, I don't think there is anything wrong with disclosing which day of the week Clayton's birthday fell. 108.27.63.106 ( talk) 03:54, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
@ Spanneraol: We realize that this might be spanneraol's favourite page to edit, but you need to stop biting newcomers and dismissing our conributons as irrelevant. We know you'd prefer to leave out the day, but there is no rule that expressly forbids adding the day.— Anonymous ( talk) 13:28, October 14, 2015

I have just added archive links to one external link on
Clayton Kershaw. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{

The information presented on Clayton Kershaw's Wikipedia page is presented in a neutral perspective while giving the reader key information about the pitcher's career. Despite the amount of success Clayton Kershaw has had in the MLB, the article is not presented with any bias towards the player and only states the facts about the pitcher. Since statistics play a heavy role in professional sports, the wikipedia page contains a lot of citations, in which the editors of the article have done a good job with. All the statistics were properly cited and references. Most of the articles come from independent sources, such as US Today or Yahoo Sports, which would show no bias (only neutrality) towards Clayton Kershaw himself. However, as I was looking through the sources, there was one source, Jr. Dodger's Blog, that could have potentially shown bias as it was source for the Los Angeles Dodgers, which is Clayton Kershaw's team. Fortunately, the information cited from that blog shows information about Kershaw's personal life and not any bias towards hi career. Overall, I clicked on a couple of the citations and all the links were functioning well. After making comparisons with the articles and the Wikipedia page, there seemed to be no indications of plagiarism or close paraphrasing. Jcho53 ( talk) 21:36, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

I am critiquing this Wiki for a class. So please bear with my weird comments. I hope I am doing this correctly.
The article is quite neutral. It could mention plenty of pro-Kershaw or Dodgers or anti-Kershaw or Dodgers facts and it has none.
It is also very relevant to the source (Clayton Kershaw). It does not deviate off in any weird directions.
The resources all look to be from good upstanding sites: Sports Illustrated, ESPN, LA Times, and Baseball America to name a few.
I felt the Humanitarian section could use more work so I added in something about Kershaw's Ping Pong charity tournament.
