GA Reassessment
This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Kirk Hinrich/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

This article has been reviewed as part of WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are a number of issues that need to be addressed.
 * It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * The prose is generally of a very high standard, execept for the section on his international career. Here there are short paragraphs and unclear passages, particularly after the quote. These should be incorporated into a single, coherent, paragraph.--Jackyd101 (talk) 00:09, 7 September 2008 (UTC)


 * It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * Two problems here 1) the article is obviously out of date. Please expand it to included developments in the last year both domestically and internationally and 2) there is no mention (outside the lead) of his personal life. Please include a small section containing all relevant information on this aspect of his life, including the information contained in the lead.

I will check back in no less than seven days. If progress is being made, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN again. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far.

 * It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * a (fair representation): b (all significant views):
 * It is stable.
 * It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
 * a (tagged and captioned): b (lack of images does not in itself exclude GA):  c (non-free images have fair use rationales):
 * Overall:
 * a Pass/Fail:
 * a Pass/Fail:
 * Unfortunately, it seems like some sentences in the article may be copyvios. For example: "Nacke hesitated at first—the camp was for fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders. But the Hinrichs were insistent, Kirk included." . Someone want to help me scrutinize the text? Zagalejo^^^ 01:45, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I've paraphrased the stuff lifted from Jockbio. But I could use some help checking the rest of the article for copyvios. It seems like the college section has a few. Zagalejo^^^ 02:12, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, I've paraphrased all the problematic content from the college section. There don't seem to be any other copyvio issues in the article, but it would be nice if someone double-checks. Zagalejo^^^ 05:59, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I updated the article several days ago. If you need any help, just let me know.— Chris!  c t 00:25, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The personal life and 2007-08 sections are very skimpy, and I hope someone undertakes to regularly update this article over time and fill out the short sections. However, as everything I asked for above has been sorted out I am passing this GA review. Well done also on catching the copyvios.--Jackyd101 (talk) 22:41, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
