Reviewer: Icedwater (talk · contribs) 05:12, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to review this page. It would be my first review, so please bear with me. Icedwater (talk) 05:12, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK, after a first pass I think the sources seem reliable, I've done some minor cleanups and it looks all right. But there seems to be too much detail for an encyclopedic summary. I guess I'll put this on hold? Icedwater (talk) 10:36, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Following up on my previous comment, if we could summarise her achievements by time period somehow, it would be a cleaner article. Maybe just keep the major regional meets and world meets, and cut the schools achievements to a sentence or two? This is at risk of failing criterion 3b of the Good Article criteria. Icedwater (talk) 10:45, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review, Icedwater. I will have a go at summarising the body of the article. -- Ianblair23 (talk) 07:53, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Icedwater: Sorry for the delay, but I have now summarised the article. I have also corrected formatted the infobox and reordered the cats. If you could please continue with the review that would be appreciated. Cheers -- Ianblair23 (talk) 09:29, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Icedwater: This has been "on hold" for 40 days now. What else do you need to complete the review? Thanks, C 679 18:36, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Icedwater: Thanks for your changes. I will have a another go a copyediting the body tomorrow. Cheers -- Ianblair23 (talk) 12:05, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Cloudz679: I'll wait for Ianblair23 to rework the text — I suggested a different approach and they seem to be the best-equipped user to accept or reject my suggestion. I'll finish up the review in 2 days, either way, so that at least the case can be closed. No pressure @Ianblair23:, let's continue working on this to make it a real GA. Icedwater (talk) 13:53, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Icedwater, Ianblair23, the article was last edited by the nominator two months ago, and by the reviewer a week after that. Icedwater hasn't edited on Wikipedia at all in four weeks. At this point, absent some action on the part of nominator or reviewer, this will be closed as unsuccessful in a week's time. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:33, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

BlueMoonset thanks for the heads-up, I totally forgot about this. I'll close the review now as unsuccessful now. Ianblair23, please try again next time. Thanks. Icedwater (talk) 03:09, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
