Wikipedia:Peer review/Bobby Robson/archive1

Bobby Robson

This article has undergone a relatively large overhaul from four or five editors, has had a number of references added, and a couple of images. It's much more compliant with the manual of style now as well, and I would like to see it peer reviewed with featured article candidacy in mind. I am aware of a few outstanding citations required, any help with these would be excellent. Otherwise, all comments gratefully accepted. The Rambling Man 10:43, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done, it was my own work so I've applied a pd-self tag to it. Thanks. The Rambling Man 11:49, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article still has two unsourced statements, first of them (about "political, diplomatic situation") seems to be impossible to confirm[1].

Yes, I've had trouble myself with that quotation. It may well be in his book which I'll have to go dig out later next week. I'll keep it there for now and if I can't find it, I'll blow it away. The Rambling Man 16:43, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The personal life section needs expansion.

I think I can expand this once I've got hold of his book next week.... The Rambling Man 16:43, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I should be able to help with this too at some point in the next week or two when I can get a copy. Dave101→talk 19:32, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article still has one-sentence paragraphs.

I'll see what I can do about those...cheers. The Rambling Man 16:43, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Cleared up now, hopefully, but as we expand the article we'll have to keep an eye on this. The Rambling Man 10:38, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks MaxSem, while I can't do much now, I'll get on with the comments asap. The Rambling Man 16:43, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More information on on his playing career is needed.

Well, possibly, but while he gained quite a few England caps, his domestic career wasn't particularly notable, and he is considerably better known as a manager than as a player. However, I'll see if there's anything more that can be added. The Rambling Man 10:38, 17 June 2007 (UTC) [reply]

Unfortunately, Robson found himself at odds with the millionaire lifestyles of his players at Newcastle... is a personal opinion, and contains facts that need to be sourced. MaxSem 08:34, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll see what I can do with that when I get hold of his book. Thanks for your comments, much appreciated. Dave101→talk 10:29, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Images in the article but no lead image? Seems a bit odd. Buc 20:19, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, if you read the talk page you'll see I'm trying to source a usable image of Sir Bobby without all the associated paraphernalia like statues, book covers etc. Patience... The Rambling Man 21:51, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
