GA nomination

The article has failed please expand in references, provide images, and expand the article after that it probably would pass, cheers. Lakers 04:40, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There generally isn't much info about Fuller (he didn't have an article until a month ago), also no free images seem to exist:[1], and the article is tremendously well sourced. WP:WIAGA allows for shorter articles (criteria 3), the important question is whether any important information is left out. As the criteria states: "it addresses all major aspects of the topic" which this article does (not every article can be 20+kbs it's wrong to assume they even can be). I feel your review was hasty and I'm going to re-list it. However, I'll wait a day or two for your comments. Quadzilla99 07:17, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for my mistake, good point it has passed now that you have clarified whatever was contested however if this was to go to FA I don't think it would make it unless you were aiming for GA only, regards. Lakers 07:20, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I didn't see any books on there. I'll keep an eye out for one and maybe I can get it through my library. The Houston Chronicle's online archives were helpful somewhat, but like I said there wasn't much more than "Fuller recorded two sacks" or "Fuller is likely to make the Pro Bowl" kind of mentions in the articles.

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

Prose is of a high standard, although remember that numbers less than ten should be written using letters rather than numerals. --Jackyd101 (talk) 22:33, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
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):

Images would be very nice nad it is a shame the article is currently without any.--Jackyd101 (talk) 22:33, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here's one source I got for a little expansion:=5431&state=GJ Quadzilla99 00:31, 29 April 2007 (UTC) — Used that one in the article, might still be some useful info in there. Quadzilla99 13:33, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
