Pass Good Article Status

Well written, covers all the career of the player including minor leagues, doesn't feature any major POV statements, although it is "flattering" to him. It is referenced, but could have more references. As it doesn't have any dangerous statements, I think it's enough to pass for GA. It is very stable, but could feature more images. Weighting everything, I believe this passes the Good Article criteria. Good work.--Serte * Talk * Contribs 22:54, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is a joke, right? Jwrosenzweig 16:45, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Joke

Calexico (Talk) 14:00, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC) He is a fairly famous sportsman in the UK, I have removed the POV parts and put the msg:stub disclaimer, and added a little bio from my knowledge...others can now add to it...

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

Prose is OK. Probably a 7/10 with a few points where it dips lower.--Jackyd101 (talk) 01:08, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

I would like to see a source for the final paragraph on the section on his work in Bermuda, but its not going to lose the article its GA status.--Jackyd101 (talk) 01:08, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):

Personal life section could be substantially improved, see Brian Urlacher for an example of how lay one out.--Jackyd101 (talk) 01:08, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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:

Personal life

Hi, this is a warning that the personal life information in this article is much too short. Any biography that is of GA standard must have at least one well organised paragraph describing the persons life outside of their field for which they are famous or otherwise incorporate that information elsewhere in the text. This article does not provide enough information on the person in question and does not give enough context for the incidents and information that is mentioned. For an example of how such a section might look, see Brian Urlacher and for pointers on how to expand and improve the section, see this guide. If this information is not improved then this article would be unlikely to survive a Good Article Reassessment and may well be delisted in the future.
