GA Review

edit
This review is transcluded from Talk:James Constable/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Article has a solid base

  • It can be hard to get a perspective of the evolution of his career, because the article tends to only discuss his goalscoring without referring to the matches in between when he did not score any goals. Thus it is hard to work out when he is having a bad patch or got dropped as it just jumps between goals. eg he scored 2 hattricks for KidH in 38 matches, so in 36 of them, he only scored 6 times, Can the context/wider perspective be worked in so people can see the slumps and sprees?
  • Style of play: is there any chance of getting more detail. At the moment it is basically just commenting on his stats rather than characteristics like fast running, accuracy, aerial ability. Not really about style

As opposed to just the fact that he scores goals. It's the same as saying a politician's style is to get votes YellowMonkey (bananabucket) (Invincibles finally at Featured topic candidates) 22:13, 9 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
I get what you're looking for, but I'm struggling to find sources. Mattythewhite (talk) 22:22, 9 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
Have had a go at expanding. Mattythewhite (talk) 22:12, 18 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
  • If nothing much can be found about his personal life, and he is not a particuarly prominent, might as well chuck it into early years
  • Otherwise, this article is fine although the style would be better if it was fattened

What makes SoccerFactsUK a RS? There is no information on the sight as to who is responsible, peer review, etc YellowMonkey (bananabucket) (help the Invincibles Featured topic drive) 06:42, 6 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Is this close to passing/failing? Progress looks quite slow on both sides so making sure the review is getting done. Wizardman 06:09, 23 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
