Wikipedia:Peer review/Frank Barson/archive1
After reading up on Frank Barson I decided to look him up on wikipedia and found this was the article. I then decided to expanded it and put it up for a GA realising that i had a lot more to do to get it to that standard so i was wondering what needs doing? Baring in mind there isn't much info about him as his playing career finished in 1939 but started in 1911! Thank you (Everlast1910(Talk) 09:45, 12 August 2007 (UTC))
Always good to read a well-developed article about a player from the game's early days, even if he spend six years playing for the dark side.
- I have my doubts about the tagging on the infobox image, which states it was uploaded by the copyright holder. As the picture was taken in c.1920 this seems unlikely. The same image appears at [1], might be worth enquiring there.

- He's on holiday at the moment according to his userpage, but you could ask User:HornetMike if he has anything about Barson's time at Watford.
Done
- Cammell Laird F.C. are based on the Wirral, not in South Yorkshire, so they would not have been a local team for Barson.
Done
- As there is not much information about his career after Aston Villa, it may be appropriate to merge some of the stubby subheadings to something like Later career.
- There's alot about Watford so ill leave it for now and try to expand the other areas
- The section about his international career implies he won a full England cap, but the infobox states "England A". Which was it? As he only gained a single cap, it may be better to merge this section into his club career instead of breaking it out into its own section.
Done
- A couple of WikiProject Football members have access to various statistical archives, putting a request on the Wikiproject talk page might help you to fill the gaps in his appearance record.
- I'll get onto that later
- The lead should be a standalone summary - everything mentioned in it should also be included (in greater detail) in the body. See WP:LEAD for more details.
- Frank was the club’s highest paid player and in an ultimately unsuccessful effort to stabilise the club’s terrible finances. Looks like there are some words missing here.
Done
- There are a few run-on sentences which need breaking up e.g. He was 39 at the time and at the end of his career but he appeared 19 times in a Wigan shirt.
- A Google Book Search gives a couple more sources of information beyond those included in the article.
Hope this helps. Oldelpaso 14:24, 14 August 2007 (UTC) Get around to everything else in a bit Everlast1910 13:14, 20 August 2007 (UTC) Everlast1910 13:14, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
