[edit] Karmichael Hunt

previous WikiProject Biography A-class review

I am renominating this for A-class status because

  1. It did not pass the Featured article status
  2. The infoboxes described as being messy, have been moved.

PS. I am sorry if I was rude to any previous reviewer of this article. SpecialWindler talk 12:09, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Comments - most of these reservations probably aren't enough to withhold A-Class, one might be. 21 references to the Brisbane Bronco News could be seen as problematic, considering it is not an independent source. Other than that:
    • Doing It seemed to be a problem in the FAC, so I will start switching them, it may take me a while. SpecialWindler 23:00, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
      • Doing Still, 7 to go, which are proving to be a bit of a problem. SpecialWindler talk 07:37, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
        • Y Done Just a few notes. On the current version (as of 10:39, 17 July 2007 (UTC))
          • Number 19, is merley using a quote and none of the other material. Maybe the information is biased, but the quote is shown on the reference, it can't be biased if he said it.
          • Number 50, same as above
          • Number 43, I cannot find another source for this. Now I can remove the information if you like, but preferabbly I wouldn't. SpecialWindler talk 10:39, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
  • References to (start italics) Brisbane Bronco News & ... (end italics) should probably be (start italics) Brisbane Bronco News (end italics) & (start italics) ... (end italics).
  • I can't tell if the fee site referenced to indicate he was one of the best players in 2005 explicitly says that or not, but I'll assume it does.
    • I never paid for them, while I was trying to find articles using Google News Search, I found them, in the little summary on the Google page, was the information I needed, so I clicked on the article and I needed a fee, but the information is there. SpecialWindler 23:00, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • The quote from Wayne Bennett would make a lot more sense if the relevant part were included in quotation marks, so that there would be less question about the odd phrasing.
    • Not Done Where are you talking about. SpecialWindler 23:00, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
      • The statement in "2005" about advising Hunt to "be a teenager ...". The sentence before refernce 35 in the current version. Alternately, if it were reworded to something like "Bennett advised Hunt to have fun and enjoy himself, like any other teenager", the odd and slightly ambiguous phrasing "be a teenager" would be gone. John Carter 14:29, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
  • The second-to-last sentence of "Allegiance" might be reworded to say "...Hunt intended to change his allegiance and play for the New Zealand team, but Hunt put the speculation to rest when he confirmed he would play for Australia" or something similar, to remove the repetition of the word "allegiance".
  • The use of the word "excellent" in the start of the second paragraph could be removed by rewording the sentence "Hunt's debut in 2004 was good enough to have him named the Daily M rookie of the year", although I would personally prefer a reference directly after the sentence.
    • Y Done, not exactly as you said, but there is reference to that in the article, so it doesn't need to be referenced in the LEAD. SpecialWindler 23:00, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • All the above, though, with the possible exception of the 21 references to an almost certainly biased source, are probably at best minor. I don't know enough to say whether they would be sufficient in and of themselves, though. John Carter 18:52, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

All Done, (you may want to check my comment under the 21 reference thing. I hope you change to support. SpecialWindler talk 10:39, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Support - with changes. Good work! John Carter 21:34, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Support per Carter above. - Duribald 14:37, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
