Juan Uribe 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: November 22, 2007

Mr. Uribe also turned a triple play against the Twins on May 14, 2006.

[edit] Failed GA

There are a few problems with this article

• Basically all the articles are sourced to the website of the team who employs Uribe, which is then not a reliable source (effectively self-published). This is especially the case when hyperbole from the website is imported into the article.
• The references need to be filled out properly with the access date, author, publisher, title and so forth. Please see {{cite web}} and {{cite news}}
• The article needs a proper lead which summarises the content in the main body
• There is no info about what he did prior to becoming professional. This is a problem
• POV "amazing"
• Please do not refer to the person by their first name, only their last name after the initial mention.
• You should probably wikilnk home run, batting average and so forth to begin with.
• "Valentin's erratic defense" - cite needed
• The shooting incident is not fully sourced- the end part. This is BLP
• Personal life is not sourced.
