GA Reassessment[edit]
Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
This article isn't of GA quality, in fact it never really gotten a good review as well, it was quickly passed with not one concern what so ever so this should be quickly delisted. Some of the more obvious concerns.
- Heavy linkrot with more than 50% of the links dead links.
- What makes Potencial.com a reliable source, [1] this despite being part of scout.com it is a fan blog from the website.
- So many citations in the lead itself on basic fact, which is highly frowned upon in the WP:MOS
- Fan language thoughout "to play to the best of their abilities"
- Also massive grammar issues "Thigpen played in the fourth quarter and in two possessions with the Vikings offense and completed 3-of-6 passes for 29 yards and picked up 18 yards on two scrambles" As a obvious example, there's many more like it.
- Exposing Thigpen to waivers was a calculated risk by the Vikings and one that was considered to likely not turn in their favor" Fails WP:NPOV, not to mention it's a straight copy and paste from the source without even bothering to change the words around, needs a good check for close paraphrasing concerns.
- By changing the gameplan, the Chiefs' offense began to find an identity after swapping their power running game for spread-type formations that best suited Thigpen. Obvious WP:NPOV violation, source is a dead link.
- "Head coach Herman Edwards, who has long had a reputation for favoring more conservative, run-oriented offenses, began seeing his team gain confidence with every game it played in that wide-open system" Another direct word by word from the source, hell I'm delisting this immediately, this article needs to be rewritten from scratch because of the copyvio concerns.
