I'll be reviewing this article for GA quality.--Giants 27(c|s) 20:15, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

1. Well written?:

Prose quality:

Manual of Style compliance:

The sentence, Forcier began working with Marv Marinovich as a third-grader makes no mention of who Marinovich is. It also sounds like a thought more than a sentence.

Perfect.--Giants 27(c|s) 00:28, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

after football powerhouse Mater Dei High School, which is Matt Leinart's alma mater, recruited Jason. Who's Jason? His brother I assume but that's not really clear.

The family continued to run the San Diego Bus and Limosine Company, the family business in San Diego. Remove "continued" as the company at this point has yet to be mentioned.

Perfect.--Giants 27(c|s) 00:28, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

2. Factually accurate and verifiable?:

References to sources:

Refs #1 and 21 are lacking info (i.e. retrieval date, source etc.)

All refs now fixed.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 00:25, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect.--Giants 27(c|s) 00:28, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Citations to reliable sources, where required:

No original research:

3. Broad in coverage?:

Major aspects:

Focused:

4. Reflects a neutral point of view?:

Fair representation without bias:

I don't like the use of "Tate". Change to something else.

Since the article mentions his three brothers and father, I used his first name. I was going to go back to his last name when I build up his career section, unless his brother becomes a coach or something.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 00:25, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair point, the Tate's can stay since Chris and Jason are mentioned along with Mike and saying Forcier could confuse the reader.--Giants 27(c|s) 00:28, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

5. Reasonably stable?

No edit wars, etc. (Vandalism does not count against GA):

6. Illustrated by images, when possible and appropriate?:

Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

Images are missing alt text.

WP:ALT text is done.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 04:47, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Overall:

Pass or Fail:

I'm placing this on hold to allow for the changes to be made.--Giants 27(c|s) 20:15, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
