What this has to do Joe Nathan is beyond me... I removed it.24.13.112.36 19:37, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

GA Candidate review
A cursory glance showed no signs of "quick failed" criteria. A few notes:
 * Please remove WP:DATE sensitive material (example: his current weight and height).
 * Could use some more content per WP:LEAD.
 * Give attention to grammatical voice in accordance with WP:MOS.

This article is a hold. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat 10:02, 27 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Alright. Height and weight are gone, though I didn't see much else date-sensitive material. If you mean the mention of his current contract is date-sensitive, I could try moving it to where he signed it, though it would leave a one-sentence 2007 season. I expanded the lead a bit, though I will try and do more. Voice I'm not very good at admittedly, but I'll fix that up best I can as well. Wizardman  02:18, 28 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I think you've done a really good job with this. I would be glad to help with voice - but i'm not sure if that's okay. It's funny you mentioned the contract because that was exactly what i had in mind when i mentioned voice.
 * The article currently says:
 * He was signed to a two-year deal on March 4, 2004, where he would be paid the base salary of $440,000 in what was purposely an incentive-laden contract.
 * An alternative writing (and this is rather cursory - it's just a suggestion):
 * On March 4, 2004, Nathan signed a two-year contract with the Minnesota Twins. The contract paid Nathan a minimum of $440,000 per year; however, it included a number of incentive clauses whereby Nathan's pay increased if he met certain performance criteria.
 * Again, that's sort of the difference between passive and active voice. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat 03:36, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Re-assess
Please let me know when this is ready for a re-assesment! Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat 01:00, 30 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Date sensitive material is fixed, lead is expanded, I think I took care of the voice unless I missed something. I'll double check but I think it's ready for re-assessment. Wizardman  14:26, 30 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, I'll check it later tonight then just to give you some extra time, if you want me to look at it sooner, just lmk. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat 15:12, 30 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Alright, it's about as good as I'm going to get it. Unless i missed something everything's fixed. Wizardman  19:57, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Sounds great, i'll get to this in the next few hours. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  01:20, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Is it ready for my re-assessment? Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat 02:22, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yup. I've done all I could do. Wizardman  02:23, 31 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Good deal, give me a few minutes, in the meantime, i would suggest cropping the image of Nathan. This is just an opinion (so don't feel obligated to do it as it has nothing to do with the GA) but with all that "green space", the image takes up a significant portion of the screen for many users, so if you crop it down to just him you can probably have it about 420x475 at default. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  02:34, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Alright. Since it was a cc image I wasn't sure if I was allowed, but I'll do that. Wizardman  02:38, 31 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I have no idea if it's allowed or not in infoboxes but i'm 90% sure that croping it won't matter - look at John Abraham and then click on his image - you'll see it was cropped. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat 02:39, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Image fixed. Wizardman  16:32, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
