Hi, I will be reviewing this against the GA criteria as part of a GAN sweep. I'll leave some comments soon. JAG UAR   20:19, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Checking against the GA criteria

 * GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * There's a citation needed tag in the background section
 * "Midway through the season, head coach Curt Onalfo was fired and replaced by assistant coach, Ben Olsen. As interim head coach Olsen led the club to a 3–8–1 record, which advanced them to a season total of 22 points over 30 games." - unsourced
 * There's another citation needed tag in the November 2010 section
 * I recommend merging all of the content in the December into one big paragraph
 * "However, a player's guaranteed money is typically larger than his base salary." - sounds a tad like original research as it's unsourced
 * "White previously played for the Maryland Terrapins before signing a homegrown player contract with D.C. United on 14 December 2010. He became the fourth academy signee within the last year for United." - this needs a citation
 * Third paragraph in the January section is unsourced
 * "Concluding the Chivas USA match, the club traveled back east to Charleston, South Carolina to participate in the Carolina Challenge Cup." - needs sourcing
 * First paragraph of the Colorado snowstorm section is unsourced
 * Most of the October section needs sourcing
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:

There are several unsourced claims which will need to be dealt with before this meets the GA criteria. I recognise the fact that this article is well written, so I'll be willing to promote this once all of the unsourced paragraphs I listed above have been clarified. GAs usually require at least every paragraph to have at least one citation in them. Anyway, I'll leave this on hold! JAG UAR   15:34, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll address these items. Quidster4040 (talk) 21:43, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I've gone over the article again and it appears to meet the GA criteria.  JAG  UAR   18:36, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
