Jamie Lyon was a good article nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. Reviewed version: August 30, 2007

Height - not sure the infobox height is correct. NRL listed one may be from when he was a kid and still growing. I am for sure not 3 inches taller than a guy I have stood next to and stood shoulder to shoulder with. He is 6 ft 0 ins for my money. Londo06 05:51, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good article review

• Well written:
  • Lead needs to be expanded per WP:LEAD.
  • Can you make a "Biography" section, with it being a level 2 header, with Parramatta, Quitting controversy, Move to Wee Waa, St Helens and Return to the NRL level 3 headers, as I think it would look better set out like that. See Thierry Henry if you don't understand this point.
• Factually accurate and verifiable:
  • All of the references are good, but one or two things are not referenced.
    • he played junior rugby league for the Wee Waa Panthers. - unsourced.
    • Third paragraph in Parramatta section unsourced.
    • He proved to be a worthy asset as the Panthers defeated the Moree Blue Boars in the grand final. - do you have a reference to back up your point, eg 'ab said that Lyon played an outstanding match.
    • Second paragraph in representative career unsourced.
  • Please note some of the above might just need a slight tweaking of sources, and in some cases references might just need to be moved to the correct place.
• Broad in its Coverage
  • Is anything known about his personal life? Does he have any kids?
• Neutral
• Stable
• Images
  • There is a watermark on the image in the infobox, I suggest it should get removed. Try and search on Flickr for an appropriate image that goes with Wikipedia guidlines.
• Overall

I am going to put the article on hold. When you have dealt with all the points, leave a note on my talkpage. If nothing has been done by one week time, the article shall be failed. Davnel03 13:19, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Seeing as no one has dealt to the problems, I am failing the article. Davnel03 15:07, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
