Work required[edit]

Am thinking what more is necessary for this article to be more or less complete? The only thing I tihnk we definitely need more information on is the performances of Edinburgh whilst he was coach. I've had real trouble finding out exactly how they have done. I'm sure if a couple of well referenced paragraph's were added on this then the article would be ready for GA nomination? Any comments? - Shudda ^talk 04:43, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Other stuff that would be nice would be the actual years that he was coach of the Scotland age sides would be useful. Why he did an exchange with The Southport School, and who selected him to assist with the Caly Reds. Refind all the Scotsman links, as they seem to be down (at the moment anyway... maybe link to a cached page). Was he actually born in Dundee or was it just outside in Inver something? When did he play with Dundee HSFP? the years he was at strathclyde uni and carnegie school. what inspired him to go into PE? when did he start at Guisely? --Bob 16:40, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of that is interesting but some of it may be hard to find, as well, it's probably not nearly as important as describing his coaching career since professionalism. I've tried to find lots regarding the Caledonian Reds but it's been hard. I have no idea about the Scotsman links, cause they certainly worked last week!- Shudda ^talk 22:20, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GA Hold[edit]

Almost everything's cool IMO except this

“

While coaching the 1st XV he took them on to win The Scottish Schools Cup on a number of occasions. He was a well liked member of staff who was great with those at all levels of many sports throughout the school. Along with rugby he was also a noted athletics coach at MCS.

”

Not sourced fix that and i'll pass it

All of the above is 100% accurate, unfortunately, in the internet age an online reference is not going to be found easily for all of that. What we do have, however, are the records of MCS itself. Would a reference noting the school magazines be sufficient? There were three per year during Franks time. If somebody wanted to verify they could call the school and ask directly. --Bob 08:20, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That should be okay all that stuff you mentioned

†he Bread ³⁰⁰⁰ 09:57, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Passed[edit]

That's all good it's at GA standard now

GA Reassessment[edit]

This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Frank Hadden/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are a number of serious issues that need to be addressed.

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):

The prose is poor, maybe a 5/10.

The lead is too short and does not adequately summarise the article.

It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):

Early and personal life information is almost totally missing. This must be incorporated.

Update this to take into account recent developments and expand to provide more information on his coaching career.

It follows the neutral point of view policy.
a (fair representation): b (all significant views):
It is stable.
It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
a (tagged and captioned): b (lack of images does not in itself exclude GA): c (non-free images have fair use rationales):
Overall:
a Pass/Fail:

I will check back in no less than seven days. If progress is being made, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN again. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far.

No action in a month, this is no longer a GA.--Jackyd101 (talk) 12:16, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
