- The section on "Other Poker Activities" is a mess: Instead of the list and the loose sentences, please reorganise the section into prose that describes Boatman's career chronologically. This section should be readable, engaging and formatted in paragraphs of adequate length.--Jackyd101 (talk) 00:47, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

I will check back in no less than seven days. If progress is being made, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN again. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far.

- Although this is not a terrible article, it is not up to GA standards and no work has been done. Therefore this article is no longer a GA.--Jackyd101 (talk) 12:22, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
