Hi, I'll take care of this nomination. This is my first review, hopefully it goes well for both of us :) Nehme₁₄₉₉ 18:57, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay thank you, it's very thorough. I have addressed those points now.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect, I've also cleaned up a couple of details. With the changes made, I'm happy to promote the article :) Nehme₁₄₉₉ 13:48, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Infobox

It's standard not to put questions marks (?) when information is unknown. For example, "200?–200?" should be removed; there is no problem in not having a year range.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Left-back can be linked to Full-back (association football)
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

I would add "professional" between English footballer, as it's standard to do so for professional footballers.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Change as a defender to as a left-back, in line with the infobox.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
before earning a contract with AFC Wimbledon. Add "senior" or "professional" before contract, to emphasise that he didn't move to another youth team.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
He was signed by Championship club Coventry City for an undisclosed fee: no need for "for an undisclosed fee", can be just kept in the main body of the article.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I would link the seasons (for e.g. 2010–11 season), to their respective club seasons (2010–11 Coventry City F.C. season). Same goes for the league seasons.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The lead is generally good, though I think it's slightly overly-detailed. Try to cut down a bit. For example, He helped Cheltenham to reach the play-offs at the end of the 2019–20 season, though they were eliminated at the semi-final stage. The club went on to win promotion as League Two champions in 2020–21, with Hussey featuring 48 times can by changed to something like He helped Cheltenham to reach the play-offs at the end of the 2019–20 season; they won promotion the following season as League Two champions. I think the two paragraphs should be halved.
- Have trimmed it to roughly half.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I don't think specific apps are necessary in the lead, except in the first instance (Despite ongoing injury issues he managed to make 31 appearances). You could generally replace those with "as a starter".
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Career

Add a section for the first sentence called "Early career" or "Youth career".
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

AFC Wimbledon

I would prefer to add "season" to 2006–07, so that it pipes as such: 2006–07 season. It's just my personal preference, though. The same applies throughout the article.
- I prefer not to link season.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
pre–season: use a regular dash (pre-season).
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
as the club's first choice left-back: "first-choice" acts as an adjective to "left-back", and should be hyphenated.
- Ah good, the last GA review said the opposite.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Wimbledon were promoted into the Conference South with victory over Staines Town in the play-off final: with "a" victory?
- I always said "with victory" but I think it's better the the scoreline anyway.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
second successive promotion / AFC Wimbledon Young Player of the Year Award: should be hyphenated in both instances.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
He started every match of the 2009–10 season until his departure in October. He made a total of 79 league and cup appearances for Wimbledon: can be joined into a single sentence. ...until his departure in October, making a total...
- Okay good.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I would divide the first paragraph into two, between he made 11 appearances in the Southern League Division One South & West and After returning from his loan spell
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Coventry City

He spent the most of the 2009–10 season on the substitute bench, as opposed to another bench? I would remove "substitute".
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
he returned to training in late–October: use a regular hyphen.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Link metatarsal
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
He then was given a handful: swap "then" with "was".
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
bringing his final appearance tally for the season to 12. Change to "final seasonal appearance tally", to avoid repetition with "season" in the next sentence.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
he managed to regain his first team place: hyphen between "first" and "team" (in all instances).
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
After returning to the first team, he set up one of the goals in a 2–0 win: use "assisted" to avoid repetition.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
He struggled for form however and was defended by manager. Add commas before and after "however" (...form, however, and...)
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It would be a good idea to divide the Wimbledon and Coventry sections in further subsections (either by season, or year span). Two or three subsections each should be enough.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

AFC Wimbledon (2)

Rename the section into "Return to AFC Wimbledon".
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
second–half substitute: use a regular hyphen.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
However he was released in May 2013: comma after "however".
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Burton Albion

He scored his first goals for Burton when he scored twice: using "scored" twice in the same sentence is too repetitive.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Divide the paragraph into two, starting from He left the club on loan.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
He featured in the play–offs: regular hyphen.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
He featured in the play–offs, playing three times in the club's unsuccessful attempt to reach League One, losing 1–0 to Fleetwood Town in the final at Wembley Stadium: the sentence structure is a bit clunky, with two -ing verbs in a row.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I notice that "he" is being used far more than "Hussey". Try to balance the two out.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bury

he was recalled by Burton Albion the end of April: "in late-April".
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Link free transfer, also in the first instance in the lead.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
two–year contract: use a regular hyphen.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
left–back position: use regular hyphens in all instances. Also, try to not repeat "left-back position" all three times; use other wording.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Having provided ten assists in 42 appearances: replace ten with 10.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In general, as I pointed out above, try also using "assist" instead of "set up" sometimes.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The Hussey/he problem I pointed out in the section above applies to the whole article. (Same with Hussey's/his)
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
saying it had improved by 60% since his arrival at the club: use quotes, as "60%" is just a random number the manager used figuratively.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Also divide this section into subsections.
- Are you sure there aren't an excessive amount of sections now?--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sheffield United

Hussey went on to lose his place at left–back in favour of Daniel Lafferty and would feature just seven times in the league: add a comma between "Lafferty" and "and".
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Change "would feature" into "featured".
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Add a subsection titled "Loan to Swindon Town" for the second paragraph; also, divide the second paragraph into two (starting from "He was an ever-present in the side until he suffered a groin injury).
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cheltenham Town

Divide into subsections.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
and "he's a good defender": change to and is "a good defender".
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
to record six wins in seven games and scoring a free-kick: add a comma between "games" and "and".
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
only to lose 3-2 on aggregate: use an en dash (–).
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
He signed a new two-year contract extension in January 2021 to extend his contract until the summer of 2023. I would rephrase into: In January 2021, Hussey signed a two-and-a-half-year contract extension.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Change "free-kick" into "free kick", and link to Free kick (association football).
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
He played 155 games in and three-and-a-half seasons at Cheltenham: remove "and", and remove the hyphens from "three-and-a-half" as it doesn't act as an adjective.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Upon leaving the club, said that: "Hussey said that".
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Port Vale

Manager Darrell Clarke said that "I've always...: since it's a direct quote, remove "that" and add a colon (... said: "I've always...).
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

International career

Rephrase to: In February 2009, Hussey was called up by the England national C team as a standby.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Style of play

Link to Defender (association football), Full-back (association football), Wing-back (association football), Wide midfielder, Cross (association football), Set piece (football).
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Add a comma after "attacking abilities".
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Personal life

Divide into paragraphs, as his OCD, daughters, app, and character aren't linked together.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Career statistics

General consensus is to pipe EFL Cup into League Cup.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
2 appearances in EFL Trophy, 2 appearances in League Two play-offs: change the "2"s into "Two".
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

References

I've taken a look at a handful of references, and a few are missing authors. Make sure all references have them (if they are indicated).
- Done, that took a while.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Remove "www." from the website names. For example, "www.ctfc.com" should be "ctfc.com", if not the name of the website itself (Cheltenham Town FC)
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Fix the results in the citations to the standard form. For example, "0-3" and "4 – 0" should be "0–3" and "4–0" respectively.
- Done.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Images

I know that finding images for footballers can be very difficult, so the lack of them won't impact the review. Still, did you try searching in free-to-use websites, such as flickr?
- Could not find any.--Echetus Xe 02:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Quite an interesting and inspiring hook, which is mentioned in the article and properly sourced (I checked the source and it checks out). Other DYK requirements such as close paraphrasing and promotion to GA are met. A QPQ has also been done. This is GTG. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:19, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
