[edit] GA on hold

I have reviewed this article according to the GA criteria. I am going to put this article on hold for seven days until the following items are fixed. The article could also use some further expansion to meet the broad requirement. See if you can add a mini biography of his early life or any other sections that you think are relevant.

1. Expand the lead or split into two paragraphs. Look to WP:LEAD for examples and guidelines.
2. The Playing career section needs to be split into more specific sections, as this makes the article not look very broad which is one of the criterion for the GA to pass.

• Hopefully what I have done is acceptable. - Shudda ^talk 08:53, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

1. "Hammett became a founding member of the side, which struggled in the inaugural Super 12 finishing in last place .[2][3]" Remove extra space before the period.

• Done. - Shudda ^talk 08:36, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

1. Wikilink: round-robin, All Blacks call-up, tries, neck injury

• I have wiki-linked neck and injury separately. I rewrote the sentence with call-up into something else (call-up is not in wikipedia, and I can't find an appropriate equivalent article).

1. Reword or elaborate on this sentence: "Wellington won the final however, and the opportunity was lost."

• Hopefully I've done this, probably makes more sense in the context of the previous sentence. - Shudda ^talk 08:53, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

1. "Hammett's 2001 Super 12 season was marred by injury, and the Crusaders eventually finished tenth." What type of injury?

• Done - Shudda ^talk 01:07, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

1. "Hammett will now assist Robbie Deans for the 2007 season." If the 2007 season has already started, change it to "now assists". If not applicable, ignore.

[edit] GA passed

I have passed this article according to the GA criteria. Good job on fixing all of the above suggestions. Keep looking for new information when it come available to help the article keep its high quality and make sure all new information that is added is properly cited. Keep up the good work and look to other articles to nominate for GA status. Consider helping with the current GAC backlog as well. --Nehrams2020 01:25, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
