Talk:Kyle Nix

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:

   The lead needs to be expanded, per here. Can Nix previous teams be added to the lead section, since its suppose to summarize his career. Removed "Kyle" from the early life section. Question: Is it necessary to include info. about his father? Replace "Kyle" with "Nix" in the same section. In the Club career - Early career, "They were promoted to the Championship although Nix did not play in any games", who's "they"? "Following trials at Peterborough United and Grimsby Town the latter of which was curtailed by an ankle ligament injury", needs to be explained well, as its confusing to read.

   B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:

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):

   Is there a source for this ---> "and a reserve team outing for Rotherham United, Nix turned to non-league football"? Bradford City, "Nix stayed in the team for the remainder of the season", needs a source.

   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:

   "His first league goal was a spectacular equalizer...", needs to be re-written, as it sounds like POV, in the Bradford City section. Again, "His goals helped to win him a contract extension in January until the end of the 2007–08 season", needs to be re-written.

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:

   It would help if an image can be inserted to the article, so it can illustrate the significance of it. But, if an image can't be found, I won't fail the article because of that.

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article! Also, contact me if the above statements are answered.

• I think I've done everything.
  • I've put details about his dad in to put his own career, and the Rotherham claim into context.
  • There's already a source for his Rotherham reserve team game.
  • Sorry. No images at the moment. Peanut4 (talk) 22:00, 20 April 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
