[edit] GA review

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

---

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   The lead needs to be expanded, per here. Can Nix previous teams be added to the lead section, since its suppose to summarize his career. Removed "Kyle" from the early life section. Question: Is it necessary to include info. about his father? Replace "Kyle" with "Nix" in the same section. In the Club career - Early career, "They were promoted to the Championship although Nix did not play in any games", who's "they"? "Following trials at Peterborough United and Grimsby Town the latter of which was curtailed by an ankle ligament injury", needs to be explained well, as its confusing to read.

   B. MoS compliance:

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   Is there a source for this ---> "and a reserve team outing for Rotherham United, Nix turned to non-league football"? Bradford City, "Nix stayed in the team for the remainder of the season", needs a source.

   C. No original research:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   B. Focused:

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

   "His first league goal was a spectacular equalizer...", needs to be re-written, as it sounds like POV, in the Bradford City section. Again, "His goals helped to win him a contract extension in January until the end of the 2007–08 season", needs to be re-written.

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

   It would help if an image can be inserted to the article, so it can illustrate the significance of it. But, if an image can't be found, I won't fail the article because of that.

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article! Also, contact me if the above statements are answered.

• I think I've done everything.
  • I've put details about his dad in to put his own career, and the Rotherham claim into context.
  • There's already a source for his Rotherham reserve team game.
  • Sorry. No images at the moment. Peanut4 (talk) 22:00, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you to Peanut4 who got the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:20, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
