Update: Improvements were made, so this will be a pass. ArsenalGhanaPartey (talk) 12:57, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lead[edit]

  • "Dean Whitehead (born 12 January 1982) is an English former professional footballer and coach who now coaches at EFL League Two club Port Vale." The section that is bolded seems a bit hard to read.
  • "Whitehead joined his local non-League club Abingdon Town before he signed for Football League club Oxford United in 1999." Which division in the football league? Be more clear.

Club career[edit]

Oxford United[edit]

  • "before joining the youth scheme of his local Football League club..." replace "Football League" with something like "professional".
  • "Towards the end of the 2001–02 season, he began playing into a central midfield position." Replace the bolded part with "playing in a central midfield role."
  • "He also scored a free kick on 1 November, to make a 3–1 comeback win over Darlington." Say something else like "He also scored a free kick on 1 November, while helping his team make a 3–1 comeback win over Darlington."

Sunderland[edit]

  • "By November, he began playing in the right-wing position in an unfamiliar role." Replace that with "By November, he began playing in the right-wing position, a more unfamiliar role."
  • "In the 2007–08 season, Whitehead played in the right-back position against Tottenham Hotspur in the opening game of the season, before sustaining a cruciate knee ligament injury in a match against Wigan Athletic in August, which ruled him out for six months." Add the comma as shown here. (Between "season" and "before".)
  • "...where he started the whole game, in a 7–1 loss against Everton." Replace that with "playing every minute of a 7-1 loss against Everton."
  • "Since returning from injury, he regained his first-team place for Sunderland throughout the season." Remove the bolded part to avoid repetition.

Stoke City[edit]

  • "Whitehead lost his place in the starting eleven to a resurgent Glenn Whelan, making a number of cameo appearances from the bench." Add a citation here. Also, change "resurgent" to "resurging".

Middlesbrough[edit]

  • "He made his Middlesbrough debut, where he started the whole game, in a 2–1 loss against Leicester City in the opening game of the season." Remove the bolded part.

Huddersfield Town[edit]

  • "By the end of the 2015–16 season, Whitehead went on to make thirty–six appearances in all competitions" Add a period.
  • "Due to Hudson's absent..." Replace that with "absence".
  • "Ahead of the 2017–18 season, Huddersfield announced that Whitehead had extended his contract with the club until the end of the 2017–18 Premier League season, with manager David Wagner stating..." Add a comma. (Between "season" and "with".)

Coaching career[edit]

  • "On 25 November, Whitehead and Ricketts were relieved of their duties with the club sat 23rd in League One with just 9 points from a possible 39." Replace "sat" with "sitting".

Personal life[edit]

Looks Good.

  • Thanks for the improvements.--EchetusXe 22:23, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! After these improvements were made, I am now passing this. Congratulations and keep up the good work! ArsenalGhanaPartey (talk) 12:57, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article was nominated on the same day it was promoted to GA status. It is well-sourced throughout with inline citations. Article coverage is neutral. Earwig shows no copyright violations with one obvious false-positive. Hook is interesting, short, neutral, and mentioned in the article prose while being backed by reliable sources. Image is fitting and ready to be used for DYK. QPQ has been done. This one is good to go. Aria1561 (talk) 05:29, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@EchetusXe: A couple sentences at the end of paragraphs need citations. These include "Whitehead went on to make forty–six appearances and scoring four times in all competitions.", "By the end of the 2015–16 season, Whitehead went on to make thirty–six appearances in all competitions.", and "By the end of the 2016–17 season, he went on to make twenty appearances in all competitions.". Can you add citations to those statements? Thanks. Z1720 (talk) 17:55, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Done that now, thank you.EchetusXe 19:04, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
