Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   The lead does not fully summarise the article, please see WP:LEAD for guidelines.

   A number of stray sentences throughout which need consolidating into parargraphs.

   He scored a tie-breaking penalty kick into the Primavera league final 1–0 win over Sampdoria, prompting high praise from people including Inter chairman Massimo Moratti. ungrammatical

   Before the start of the 2008–09 season, Balotelli signed a three-year contract with Inter, the maximum length he could sign ungrammatical

   Please go over the article copy-editing again, read it out aloud to improve the prose and flow

   There is a lot or repetitive overlinking, please see WP:OVERLINK

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   five dead links as noted above

   Otherwise references appear OK.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Good coverage.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   NPOV

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

   Some vandalism by IPs, but this appears to be under control.

6. 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):

   tagged and captioned

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:
