Hi Spiderone, I saw the nom at women's football task force so thought why not, will make a start on this soon. I'll be way less critical than Keira Walsh GA though, I'd like to think I've learnt a lot since then. I'll start with sources then move to content. CNC (talk) 14:57, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Content

[edit]
Early life

A few issues with section that needs proper summarising, I'm hoping/expecting the career sections aren't the same.

  • Mead grew up in Hinderwell, a small village near Whitby, which she described as: "a fishing town in the middle of nowhere, with a population of about 2,000. [The] sort of place where the people are outnumbered by sheep. You know the type: loads of fields, two pubs, a hairdresser and about a mile away from the local shop.", I think this could be trimmed to the first sentence, the second doesn't appear to provide any encyclopedic value, or otherwise summarised and attributed etc generally.
  • He said to her and her mother, "It's fine that you're coming down to get involved but you will be the only girl here. They are quite rough so will she be ok?" Her mother replied, "She'll be fine.", again this can be summarised to something like "her mother was ok with her being the only girl in a rough game", no need for quotations, likewise with the following sentence that could be summarised into it.
  • I loved what I was doing on the pitch and had no other worry in the world — nothing else mattered except me kicking that football. Football is my first love; my one true love. It still breaks my heart sometimes, but that's part and parcel of the game. That's still my way of switching off now: just running around on a football pitch and loving what I'm doing. That's never changed, from the six-year-old kid to the 27-year-old who's running around now., unnecessary long quote. If it were due, it should be a quote box, but assuming it's not, it should be summarised into wikivoice.

[edit]

Sources look good, was expecting a lot more broken ones based on early content. The only marginally reliable source I came across was WP:DAILYMIRROR, but the claims aren't outrageous and is backed by other source as well so looks fine.

The only other questionable or broken sources were:
