[edit] Detractions from GA status

• It doesn't have an image, and its an article about a person.
• The prose seems rather bland.

Its got a good start, but it is probably not GA-quality.. yet. Kevin_b_er 23:31, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Articles doesn't need an image for GA thanks Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 23:38, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm saying it rather ought to considering its about a person who's alive, right now, though I understand its not required for GA. I'm more worried about the bland-like text within it, however. Just doesn't seem to jump out at all. All the references are from today. It just seems like it needs more of something. Kevin_b_er 23:48, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA assessment

Well-written - Yes, but it is quite brief, which makes it hard for it to be compelling. Logical structure, yes, as far as it goes, but brief again. Technical terms - I'm in a good position to judge this one, I know nothing about American Football - what's an 'All-Iowa'? What's the significance of being a 'free agent'? What's training camp (I can probably guess that one, but I could be wrong!)? Injury waiver? It's hard for me to be interested in this guy because I can't really understand what's happening.

Accurate and verifiable - good, but I can't see a ref for the most field goals record.

Broad coverage - I suppose there's not much more. Perhaps 'Personal Life'?

NPOV - yes, very good.

Stable - yes

Images - No. They're not compulsory, but requirement is worded 'where possible'. Surely it's not impossible here?

In summary then, I'd say it needed a picture, or some more convincing evidence that it's not possible, and a little (very brief) expansion or linking to cover the specialist terms that ignoramuses like me don't know, which seem to be relevant to why his career is taking the turn that it is. I'll mark as 'on hold' for now, pending these changes which should be quite straightforward. It would probably benefit from a bit more content, but that's not a criteria as far as I can see. 4u1e 18:56, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

I would try to expand it later on, but currently I'm having arm problems and I'm very limited in typing. As for images, all are copyrighted and no free are abvalable. Thanks Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 19:12, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

I was sorry to read about that. Hope the physiotherapy helps. 4u1e 21:10, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
