GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Alfred Pullin/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Brad78 (talk) 21:08, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

One minor issue. Do you think it's worth saying Pullin was Welsh/British in the first line?

Done. Said British rather than Welsh as he had no association with Wales for most of his life. --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:53, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Early life

Do you have any further details about Pullin's aborted rugby career or his refereeing?

No, it was very obscure and not really recorded. Just local stuff. --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:53, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, while this is a moot point regarding the review itself, should this be listed under journalism rather than sport?

Quite possibly, but I had him down as a sports journalist who was firmly associated with cricket. But on reflection, journalism would have made more sense! --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:53, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Other than those two issues, this is a smashing, little piece. Brad78 (talk) 21:32, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
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.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
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):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
A short and sweet biography. It's very well-written and remains focused. It any further details come to light, it would be great to expand the article. Similarly the article uses few sources at the moment, so maybe that may help to expand it. Finally, there are no images, but that's not a requirement for GA.
