It will most possibly take a couple of weeks. GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

Is it reasonably well written?
A. Prose is "clear and concise", without copyvios, or spelling and grammar errors:
I haven't yet checked against WP:COPYVIO. Early life section is OK. Celtics section and Loan moves section are checked and they are OK. The CSKA section is fine as well.Hansi667 (Neighbor Of The Beast) ^{a penny for your thoughts?} 23:21, 7 May 2015 (UTC) Trials and Kilmarnock sections are OK. Hansi667 (Neighbor Of The Beast) ^{a penny for your thoughts?} 16:13, 8 May 2015 (UTC) APOEL, international, honours and statistics sections are OK.Hansi667 (Neighbor Of The Beast) ^{a penny for your thoughts?} 22:01, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Some minor grammar and syntax fixes are already done so it would be OK in this area.

By scoring a brace against Hearts on 25 September, he opened his account in his second spell with the club. This has to change to something more clear. Hansi667 (Neighbor Of The Beast) ^{a penny for your thoughts?} 16:35, 10 May 2015 (UTC) Done[reply]

B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
The lead is fine, the layout complies with WP:LAYOUT and Football players MOS and no words to watch were spotted. WP:EMBED and WP:WAF don't apply in the article.
Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
A. Has an appropriate reference section:
Some references have access dates but lack their date and some the opposite. This needs to be addressed. Here's the list (ad=accessdate missing, d=date missing): 7(d), 10(d), 11(ad), 12(d), 13–15(ad), 22(d), 25 (ad), 31(d), 33(d), 34–35 (ad), 39 (d), 45 (d), 51 (d), 71 (d), 73–74 (d), 76 (d), 78 (d) Done

B. Citations to reliable sources, where necessary:
~~His caps and goals for Ireland under-21 lack an inline citation. This data is not present in the external links either.~~
~~It is present in Soccerway, in external links, and also added an citation to a goal. RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 08:29, 6 May 2015 (UTC)~~ [reply]
Previously the article stated that Sheridan had 10 caps and 2 goals for Ireland U-21. Soccerway gives 8 caps and 2 goals, but I have to question its reliability. This page states that Sheridan had 10 caps for Ireland U-21. His debut was most certainly against Germany U-21, and this match is not even mentioned in Soccerway. Some further research should be done on this to reach a final reliable figure for this one.Hansi667 (Neighbor Of The Beast) ^{a penny for your thoughts?} 15:12, 6 May 2015 (UTC) [reply]
The Soccerway is the only source which has the U21 stats. It has stats for international junior competitions only, friendlies are not included. So I have removed it from the infobox and added a source to the claim in international career. RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 08:14, 8 May 2015 (UTC) [reply]
Soccerway doesn't include U-21 friendly fixtures and since Sheridan has played, at least, in one U-21 friendly match the 8 caps/2 goals figure of Soccerway is obviously wrong. In this case I would consider this site far more reliable considering Irish football, since football in Ireland is its only subject (it gives a figure of 10 caps/2 goals for Ireland U-21).

His U-21 debut was against Germany U-21, a friendly fixture, not Estonia U-21. His Hansi667 (Neighbor Of The Beast) ^{a penny for your thoughts?} 12:28, 11 May 2015 (UTC) Done[reply]

Instead, he would come on as a substitute without scoring, often playing out of position. This sentence is about his time at Kilmarnock and it lacks inline citation. Done
Removed it. RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 08:29, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

~~There is no citation for his Celtic first team debut vs. Inverness Caledonian Thistle.Hansi667 (Neighbor Of The Beast) ^{a penny for your thoughts?} 16:42, 6 May 2015 (UTC)~~ Done[reply]
Done RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 08:33, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

C. No original research:
There is a problem in this sentece: On 20 June 2013, Sheridan signed a one-year contract, with the option of a further season with APOEL from Cyprus.. The source doesn't mention anything abouth the duration of the contract. Either a source supporting the statement should be added, or the part that mentions the contract's duration should be removed.Hansi667 (Neighbor Of The Beast) ^{a penny for your thoughts?} 22:23, 9 May 2015 (UTC) Done[reply]

Done RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 16:23, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is it broad in its coverage?
A. Major aspects:
~~It lacks information about his league (probably a 1-1 draw vs QPR) or/and cup debut while in Plymouth Argyle.~~ Done

~~It lacks information about his league (probably a 3-3 draw vs Dundee United) or/and cup debut while in St. Johnstone (while on loan from Celtic).~~ Done
Done both. RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 08:59, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

~~It lacks information about his debut with Ireland U-21 and first goal.Hansi667 (Neighbor Of The Beast) ^{a penny for your thoughts?} 15:12, 6 May 2015 (UTC)~~ Done[reply]

~~It lacks information about his league debut with Celtic (it was in the 2006–07 season).Hansi667 (Neighbor Of The Beast) ^{a penny for your thoughts?} 16:42, 6 May 2015 (UTC)~~ Done[reply]
Done RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 08:33, 8 May 2015 (UTC) Not done. There is still no information about his league debut with Celtic. Hansi667 (Neighbor Of The Beast) ^{a penny for your thoughts?}[reply]

~~It lacks information about his first goal, in the second spell with St. Johnstone.Hansi667 (Neighbor Of The Beast) ^{a penny for your thoughts?} 16:12, 8 May 2015 (UTC)~~ Done[reply]

B. Focused (see summary style):
The article stays focus on the topic and gives some info that add to the article.

Is it neutral?
Fair representation without bias:
On 29 March 2014, after an amazing solo effort he scored the second goal of the match against Apollon Limassol, in APOEL's 3–0 home win for the Cypriot First Division play-offs. The fact is that he scored a goal. The rest is WP:PEACOCK (plus it's not in the source). Hansi667 (Neighbor Of The Beast) ^{a penny for your thoughts?} 22:37, 9 May 2015 (UTC) Done[reply]
Done RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 16:23, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is it stable?
No edit wars, etc:
There is an unresolved issue on whether he should be listed or not as a Scottish Cup champion since he didn't play in the final. A dubious tag was entered, but it was later removed by ab IP user without any edit summary. The matter is not resolved, as it is not clear when a player is considered a Scottish Cup champion.
~~A player who hasnt played in cup final does not get honour as per as consensus. RRD13 দেবজ্যোতি (talk) 08:59, 6 May 2015 (UTC)~~ [reply]
Actually I have already provided the Scottish FA Cup regulations in the talk page. It states that only the participants in the final can get a winners medal. We' ll have to see if the Scottish Cup win comes up again in the article. If it does I will immediately fail the nomination, until the issue is resolved. If it does't, this version will be considered stable and it will pass this one. We'll wait for at least a week to see if edit will be done on this section.Hansi667 (Neighbor Of The Beast) ^{a penny for your thoughts?} 15:12, 6 May 2015 (UTC) DoneHansi667 (Neighbor Of The Beast) ^{a penny for your thoughts?} 22:01, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
