Brad Evans[edit]

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I'm new to writing articles about people and I'd like some feedback. I'd like to see this article become a GA eventually, but there isn't much help out there. SounderBruce 17:40, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • I wrote a GA about a soccer player, it's Jason Dozzell. It was a while ago but checking it out and its review may help. Brad Evans has much more info available...
  • Put (MLS) after "Major League Soccer".
  • "stayed for 2 seasons" -> two (per MOSNUM).
  • "for a 2-goal" same.
  • "appeared 5 times for" same, etc. You can see the theme...
  • Lead: second para repeats a lot of the first para..!
  • Infobox, date format is British, you presumably want it to be US for consistency.
  • "was born to parents" would imagine that "parents" is redundant here.
  • "Evans played 6 matches during the 2004 season and scored 4 goals.[4][5][6][7][8]" five refs for this? If you don't have a single ref showing all his games in the 2004 season, how do I know he didn't play in other games?
    • Not sure how to cite his appearances then, the PDL website doesn't go back to 2004.
  • Don't repeat his first name after the first sentence.
  • Coming from a featured list perspective, it would be nice if you could make the tables accessible by using row and col scopes per MOS:DTT.
    • Not sure if this is possible.
  • Why the use of bold text in the "honors" section? Check out WP:BADEMPHASIS.
  • Use en-dash in the scorelines in the ref titles.
  • You don't need "Major League Soccer players" as a cat because you have more refined cats.
