  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:


  • Fail - This article is supposed to be an encyclopedic biography of Balester. This article is not broad in its coverage, not in the slightest, and just focuses on his career. The article is a big large mess of statistics and player information, lacking coherence or any MoS form or layout. This article is very under-prepared, and also features all poorly formatted references.--CallMeNathanTalk2Me 23:29, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Huh, wasn't expecting an auto-fail, since this is hardly auto-fail worthy in my mind, but thanks for the review. Cheers,--Giants27(T|C) 04:47, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
