Shaun Reay

Hi, I've just been making some edits to Shaun Reay, and thought I'd better stop by and explain what I've done. Wikipedia has a Manual of Style which specifies how certain things in artcles should be done. Most of your article complied with it, remarkably well for a first article, particularly with the quality and quantity of referencing (sorry if that sounds patronising, it isn't meant to, most new editors don't bother referencing at all) but there were a couple of things.

MOS:BIO#Subsequent uses of names says that we refer to a person by surname, not first name, so that it sounds more like an encyclopedia and less like we're talking about someone we know; and dates should be written either December 18, 2008 (US-format) or 18 December 2008 (non-US format), not 18th December (however awkward it is not putting the "th"). Also, I've added some "fact" tags; these are where you've put something that isn't actually mentioned in the cited source, like Reay getting the MoM award, or his goal being "an instinctive first time strike". What you'd need to do is find a source that does mention whatever it is, or else reword to something that is backed up by the source.

If there's anything you don't like or don't understand about what I've done, please shout on my talk page. Keep up the good work, cheers, Struway2 (talk) 11:37, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
