John Andrews (footballer born 1978) edit

  • Reviewed: Hisyah
  • Comment: Reference (no 13) is in Icelandic, but I will be happy to translate for the reviewer if required. Also, I think there's probably a better way of wording the hook, if anyone can come up with something better that would be great.

  • QPQ done. Article is fully supported by inline citations. Hook is properly formatted. Article is neutral enough. [1] [2] [3] No plagiarism concerns. Hook is supported by article, which is supported by source. No images to check. New enough and long enough.
  • Icelandic sources not plagiarised and support text.
  • Cannot verify the first source. My computer says it has maliciousness. (Wants to install bad software. Blocks me.) Ditto with second source. --LauraHale (talk) 10:39, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Find alternative sources for one and two. --LauraHale (talk) 10:39, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

  • Thanks for the review. This is really weird, the links aren't working for me now either but they were fine last night when I wrote the article. For some reason, it seems the whole website has since been shut down. I'll try and sort it out. BigDom 10:47, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
  • OK, by a huge stroke of luck it turns out both pages had been archived by the Wayback Machine so I've linked to the archived versions. Do they work for you now? BigDom 11:00, 8 July 2012 (UTC)


Problem links fixed and information now verifiable. Manual check of sources shows no plagiarism from these. Good to go. --LauraHale (talk)
