GA Reassessment

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are a number of issues that need to be addressed.

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):

The prose was not good, I have given a copyedit which brings it up to basic standards, but it still needs work. Maybe a 5/10 now.--Jackyd101 (talk) 13:00, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

I have added a couple of ^{[citation needed]} tags in the style of play section.

It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):

I'd really like to see some information about his personal life: Where was he born and who to; has he ever been married or had children; has he ever appeared in the news for any reason relating to his personal life? His Antiguan descent is mentioned in the lead but not the main body of the text.--Jackyd101 (talk) 13:00, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It follows the neutral point of view policy.
a (fair representation): b (all significant views):
It is stable.
It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
a (tagged and captioned): b (lack of images does not in itself exclude GA): c (non-free images have fair use rationales):
Overall:
a Pass/Fail:

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. (If you are really busy, let me know and I'll give more time. I need to know however so I can see that someone is interested in addressing these concerns.

I think your concerns have been addressed over the last few days by myself and several other editors. Would you say the changes are enough? Cheers, Mattythewhite (talk) 19:24, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I certainly would! congratulations.--Jackyd101 (talk) 20:34, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I like the style of play section but it is even more subjective than career descriptions. Certainly at Leicester City Heskey showed high levels of skill on the ground and would not have been regarded as a "blunt instrument" (THe_IRB)THe IRB (talk) 23:36, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
