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:
    Question: What do you mean by "spells"? Ex: "had several short spells with other League clubs" and "He had spells with Cambridge United and York City before joining Alfreton Town in 2008"? In the Career section, this sentence ---> "His first season at Gillingham, the 1995–96 season", reads very odd and might have to be re-written. Same section, "The 1999–2000 saw Fortune-West finish as Rotherham's top scorer with 17 goals in 43 appearances as the club won promotion to the Second Division" and "He featured for Cardiff in the FAW Premier Cup final against Swansea in May", need re-writes. Same section, "His first season with the club, 2003–04, saw him score 12 goals in 43 appearances as they won the Third Division championship, so earning a place in the Second Division", remove "so" its not very encyclopedic to have.
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
    In the Career section, it would be best if "Bristol Rovers" is linked once, per here. Same section, there's something odd, can it be spotted ---> "His Shrewsbury debut came as a substitute in a 2–0 defeat to Milton Keynes Dons Dons on 18 November 2006"?
  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:
  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:
    Are those the only images available for Leo Fortune-West?
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

    • By spells I am referring to a period being spent at a club, but I've reworded it.
    • "His first season at Gillingham..." - reworded.
    • "The 1999–2000 saw Fortune-West..." - reworded. Although, I'm unsure what's wrong with "He featured for Cardiff in the..."
      • What I did mean was to fix the intro. of the sentence, "The 1999-2000"... since it had a weird sound to it.
    • "His first season with the club..." - reworded, but I think it makes sense either way.
  • 1B
    • Links - removed overlinkage.
    • "His Shrewsbury debut came..." - removed repetition.
      • Check.

    • There is another image available at Wikimedia Commons, but it only shows him during the same match as the other two images and would seem a bit pointless to include I'd say.
      • I was just wondering, cause you could barely seem him, but its fine.

Thank you to Mattythewhite, who was Casper at first, for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 19:11, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
