Review by SpecialWindler

• Lacks WP:PERSONDATA
• Your referencing needs to come imediately after puncuation. Like that, not this. or this.
• The entire "Club football" section is one sentence paragraphs. You should expand.
• The Place of Birth contridicts itself. It says Wigan in the first line, but Ashton-in-Makerfield, Lancashire in the infobox.
• The "representative football" section is also one sentence paragraphs.
• The Source No.1 says nothing about being compared to Wade McKinnon, is this original research?
• You should add more info on his career before league.
• You use the term "football" alot in the article, mainly in headings. Seeing your in England, where football is known as soccer, rugby league may be a better term to use. Though this is not a major problem.
• You use Source 1 & 8 are the same consider the following
  • <ref name="1">Whatever</ref>

Then you only have to go like this, for the second/third so on time you use that reference.

• • <ref name="1"/>
• You shouldn't use news articles in the External links section. They don't provide readers with too much extra stuff, the player profiles are good.
• You mess the way the article is wrote, In the "Club football" section it has a bit about 2007, then something about a serious knee injury in 2004. You should have those things in chronoligical order.
• Category's should be in alphebetical order, (numbers then letters)
• Use {{DEFAULTSORT}}, instead of in a category going [[Category:Blah Blah|Melling, Chris]], remove the |Mellung, Chris and above add the template, with {{DEFAULTSORT:Melling, Chirs}}.
• The image is not free. You'll have to out a capture a pic of him with your own camera, thats the easy way of making a pic free. SpecialWindler talk 22:14, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Basically the whole article needs expanding, to cover every major fact of his life. But a good start. SpecialWindler talk 22:08, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
