Reviewer: EchetusXe (talk • contribs • count) 08:52, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
clear and concise; if in the future you are planning to take this article to FA status then phrases like 'is a defender, currently playing for' could be improved to meet professional standard. Some sections switch violently between past and present tense, but I am just finding faults here, and it passes as clear and concise.--Echetus Xe 08:52, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
Is he from Bootle (as stated in the infobox) or Kirkby (as listed in the category section)? Soccerbase says Kirkby, so a reference would be needed for the Bootle assertion.--Echetus Xe 08:52, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Could do with a 'Style of play' section, but I will not demand it.--Echetus Xe 08:52, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
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):
Added caption myself in the copy-edit.--Echetus Xe 08:52, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
~~One minor issue to work out within seven days, should that be resolved then the article will pass.--Echetus Xe 08:52, 16 September 2011 (UTC)~~[reply]

Article meets criteria. Congratulations! For further improvements try adding a 'style of play' section.--Echetus Xe 13:13, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Thank you for taking the time out to give such a thorough response/evaluation of the article. Sorry about my lack of cooperation regarding pushing this article to GA status — I made some small changes yesterday, which I then forgot to notify you about. I will add a "style of play" section as soon as I gather my references together. Thanks again. --SBFCEdit (talk) 19:41, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
