One initial comment—I haven't finished going through the article yet:

More comments:

  • Under college career, the text jumps straight from Kovacs having a second knee surgery to being one of the most highly-regarded walk-ons in the country. I'd suggest adding something about the surgery being successful (I assume it was) and how he earned playing time in the offseason to fill the gap.
  • "That season he played free safety before being switched to strong safety." It would be better to indicate earlier that he made his first start as a free safety, and then indicate in which game he transitioned to strong safety.
  • It would be nice to have a picture of the subject, although of course that is not required for GA status.

I made several copyedits to the text; once the above issues are addressed, I'll be happy to pass this article as a Good Article.

GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    This GAN is placed on hold pending resolution of the above issues.

Thank you. Grondemar 04:20, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks very good; that was everything I was looking for. I will pass this GAN at this time. Congratulations! Grondemar 12:48, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
