[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.
- Is it reasonably well written?
- A. Prose quality:
- I notice that the information in the lead is completely unsourced, and according to this it can be sourced or unsourced. I will, however, not bring that as an issue to this review. In the career section, there's a sentence that reads "but was released by the club at the age of 15." 15 should be written as fifteen. I notice that there tends to be a lot of "he", try to even out he and Elliott in the career section. However shouldn't be at the beginning of a sentence. There's too many "he joined, he signed, he debuted", try to fix that as an example can be seen with David Beckham's article.
- B. MoS compliance:
- A. Prose quality:
- Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
- A. References to sources:
- B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
- C. No original research:
- Is it broad in its coverage?
- Is it neutral?
- Is it stable?
- 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:
- Overall:

- A while back when I was in the process of getting an article I was working on for GA, I was informed that however should not start a sentence. I guess its almost the same as adding and in the beginning of a sentence. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:15, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Comments from an independent reader
- How come 15 should be fifteen? Per WP:MOSNUM it should actually be 15.
- Neither do I agree that however can't come at the start of a sentence? Peanut4 (talk) 03:04, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- Very true about the 15 number, if it were describing his jersey number then that would be fine. But, since the article talks about his age, it is more appropriate to add the word, instead of the number. Also, like I said on top, I was told to change however from a start of a sentence. I will not fail the article because of the "however" situation. But, someone would have to revert my edits, as I made the change. Overall, I have gone off and passed the article to GA. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 04:11, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
