The article needs to be expanded, at the moment it is a short article that doesn't draw the reader in. Sentences sound more like a list than a paragraph. I think it would be almost pushing to say this is a C-class article, it needs to be more 'readable'. Please peer review it before next assessment! JRA_WestyQld2 Talk 00:35, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose): b (MoS):
- Information doesn't flow. There are sections with one or two sentences. When career is expanded, it will need to have sub-sections. Much of the article sounds repetitive. Meredith went to Derby. He scored a goal. He played a game. He then got loaned. He then got traded.
- a (prose): b (MoS):
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- I don't know why his personal life has an unreliable reference tag, but you may want to ask this user why he added the tag. Personally I think it's fine and unless he has a reasonable explanation, the tag should be removed.
- a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- Biggest drawback. Needs expanding. A lot of it.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- Fair representation without bias:
- It is stable.
- No edit wars, etc.:
- Although there has been a few edit undo's in it's short lifespan for such a small article.
- No edit wars, etc.:
- It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
- If the article is expanded, perhaps more photos would be nice?
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
- Overall:
- Pass/Fail:
- I have failed the article due to it being much like the Alex Lawless nomination. It needs significant expansion before being considered for good article status.
- Pass/Fail:
Content to cover
[edit]- Football in Australia. Who was he playing for in Melbourne? A quick google search hinted that he played in the Oceania Jnr Championships and therefore would be some type of junior representative for Australia
- Early career Derby - Sligo is pretty light
- Style of play should either be merged with the rest of the article or be at least a paragraph long.
- The same with personal life. However, I believe more can be included. What about his family? Does he have another job? Does he have a weird obsession with toenails? Research.
- References. Use a wider range. It will give you better information from several points of view.
I hope this helps JRA_WestyQld2 Talk 00:35, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
