You are not The Rock anymore. The Rock would puke if Hee could. You are just Dewayne Johnson, a spoiled rotten movie star. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.199.148.21 (talk) 00:45, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Being last assessed in 2008 with only few comments, I decided to read the article and copyedit. Writing quality is average and the tone is sometimes not neutral. For example the "Early life" section lists the high schools attended in unsettling clusters. Some sentences are just too long to read, like:
By his senior year at Freedom High School, Johnson had only played two years of high school football but the fact that he had excelled on a team in an elite high school athletic division known nationally for producing a long list of professional and Olympic-level athletes, including future NFL stars Andre Reed, Saquon Barkley, Kyzir White, and others, drew the attention of NCAA Division I collegiate programs.
The "Legacy and career assessment" have an original research. I fact-checked some of the citations throughout the article and some were questionable. For example, the fact that he was he was in freshman year during his time in the 1991 Miami Hurricanes football team is not clearly mentioned in the citations.
The "Professional wrestling career" has it's own set of problems. In general, it is too long and overly detailed. There are many unnecessary plot points. One of the many instances where it could be trimmed is:
In the end, it came down to a one-on-one between the Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Rock seemed to have the upper hand, until his teammate Jericho entered the ring and attacked the Rock. Austin tried to capitalize on this by pinning the Rock, but Kurt Angle revealed his true allegiance by attacking Austin. The Rock then pinned Austin, giving Team WWF the victory and forcing The Alliance to disband.
The overall layout of the article could be further assessed. IW.(talk) 22:05, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oof, I totally agree this needs addressing. On one hand, the article is cited throughout, so it could be fixed up to GA status, but in its current form it's just not good enough. Lots of really poor wording, WP:PROSELINE, the lede is six paragraphs when it should be a maximum of four, lots of slapdash information with confusing layout.
I do think it could be fixed up, especially with a strong copyedit to start. Lee Vilenski(talk • contribs) 14:38, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Short description is not Short, it's so long that infobox isn't visible on opening article. Move some of its content below.Redmyname31 (talk) 09:33, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There's a bit an edit-war on a section heading for this article. Originally "Commercial success (2011–2020)", it was changed to "Megastardom (2011–2020)" [1], then to "Stardom (2011–2020)" [2], then "Blockbuster run (2011–2020)" [3] and finally back to "Commercial success (2011–2020)" [4]. It's now been back and forth from the last two a couple of times. Can we please discuss this here to get consensus if this should be changed and to what if there is consensus for the change?

I'm not a fan of the "Blockbuster" and "Megastardom" section headings that are starting to pop up (mostly in Indian actor / actress articles). The terms are not really neutral and feel more like something I'd see on a personal website or a puff piece on a tabloid-ish site. It's not something I would expect in a professional product as Wikipedia strives to be. At least right now, I'm against changing it to any of the terms that were used.
