I shall be reviewing this against the GA criteria as part of a GAN sweep. I'll leave some comments soon. JAGUAR  13:16, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Checking against the GA criteria

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   Usually citations are discouraged from the lead per WP:LEADCITE unless it's citing controversial information. However given the length of the article, I think this should be fine

   Remove the "the" in subsections "The Conte era", per MOS:HEADINGS

   "Buffon was once again the first choice goalkeeper under his former Juventus coach and Trapattoni's replacement Marcello Lippi, as Italy finished first in their 2006 World Cup Qualifying group." - needs a citation

   I would recommend merging two of the paragraphs in the Media section, to improve flow

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   No original research found.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

I couldn't find anything worthy enough to put this on hold, so I'll pass it now. It is well written and very comprehensive. Good work JAGUAR  21:21, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
