Here are the issues I found:
 * RTL links to a disambiguation page currently; have it link to the right article.
 * Done.  –J10S   Talk 07:19, 27 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Refs #1 (la fiche de) and #69 (joueur des lions) are deadlinks.
 * Fixed both references.  –J10S   Talk 07:19, 27 March 2011 (UTC)


 * "he often waits table" tables
 * Done.  –J10S   Talk 07:19, 27 March 2011 (UTC)


 * "While at Nérac, he was equally adept on the field and off and earned good grades in school. "noted in the personal life section, so not really needed here.
 * Done.  –J10S   Talk 07:19, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Review in progress, will read+review second half of article tomorrow. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 05:06, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Here are the rest of the issues:
 * "Chamakh was used as a target man and scored a career-low four goals, since becoming a professional in the league." tweak needed. maybe 'and scored four goals, his lowest since..' or just take out that last part of the sentence.
 * Done.  –J10S   Talk 04:42, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * "The previous record was held by Thierry Henry, who scored a goal after 58 seconds for Arsenal against Reading on 22 October 2006." should be cited
 * Done.  –J10S   Talk 04:42, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * "On 15 February 2011, Chamakh admitted that he felt burnt out stating "By the start of January I felt that I had completely lost my edge". " cite needed
 * Done.  –J10S   Talk 04:42, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * "Chamakh is a Moroccan international at senior level." at the senior level.
 * Done.  –J10S   Talk 04:42, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * "However, the match finished 2–2 meaning Morocco only had the satisfaction of qualifying for the 2006 Africa Cup of Nations" reword, 'had the satisfaction of' doesn't sound encyclopedic
 * Done.  –J10S   Talk 04:42, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

I'll put the article on hold, and once these issues are fixed I'll pass the article. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 04:18, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Everything looks good now, so I'll pass the article as a GA. Wizardman  Operation Big Bear 14:55, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
