GA Review

[edit]

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
    In the lead, this sentence ---> "He was unable to score for Spain during the 2004 tournament, but managed to net on three occasions in the 2006 World Cup", what does "net" mean? In the Atlético Madrid section, who is this sentence, "The Spaniard was later voted the best player in Europe for that age-group", talking about? Same section, this sentence ---> "Premier League champions Chelsea were believed to be interested in Torres in 2005, but Atlético president Enrique Cerezo that they had "no chance" of signing him", maybe if you add "explained" after Cerezo.
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
    In the Altético Madrid section, it would be best to link other sports team/people once, per here. Also, make sure that one section is linked and not linked twice.
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
    B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
    C. It contains no original research:
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
    In the Liverpool section, this sentence ---> "March continued to be a good month for the now prolific goal-scorer", sounds like POV and it would be best to re-write it.
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    If the above statement can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article! Also, contact me if the above statements are answered.
