GA Review
This review is transcluded from Talk:Paul London/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.


 * Just glancing at the lead, it feels far too short. That said, taking a closer glance I can't think of much to add. Perhaps a mention of personal life?
 * I expanded it a little. There's not much to add about his personal life, but it mentions his former girlfriend. ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 19:55, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * "He made his debut in the independent circuit on 7 April 2000, competing in promotions throughout Texas." - his debut involved him competing in multiple promotions on the one day? Reword, I think.

 * "London made his debut in Ring of Honor (ROH)" - he went from studying at Texas Uni to appearing on ROH? There must be something in between (how'd they choose him (or however it works))?
 * While studying, he was constantly competing on the Independent circuit, which id mentioned in the early career section. Nonetheless, I added a quick mention on it in that section too. ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 20:06, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * which led to both London and Shane brawling" - brawling implies them fighting against each other?If so remove the "both". If not, then I have no idea what it's saying...
 * ✅-- S  R X  -- Latino  Heat  18:18, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * "London competed in ZERO1 for several months, beginning in January 2003, before turning down a contract." - a bit confusing; wouldn't he have needed a contract to compete in the first place?
 * In the universe of pro wrestling, wrestlers can compete for promotions in dark matches (or try-outs) without contracts. I read the source, it stated that Zero-one is a japan promotion, and japanese promotions call wrestlers from North America to wrestle for their promotion without a contract, so when he wrestled a couple of shows, they were impressed and offered him a contract, which he turned down.-- S  R X  -- Latino  Heat  18:34, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I clarified that within the paragraph. ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 19:57, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * "On 2 February 2007, London and Kendrick suffered a non-title loss to the rookie team Deuce 'n Domino.[58] In a title rematch at No Way Out, however, London and Kendrick retained the championship - sounds awkward to name them twice in two sentences... perhaps reword to "however, they regained..." or something like that?
 * Fixed.-- S  R X  -- Latino  Heat  18:34, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Are the following sources reliable:
 * http://www.gerweck.net/paullondon.htm
 * Gerweck is not reliable per FA criteria, but it is used in other GA's and no problem was encountered. -- S  R X  -- Latino  Heat  18:34, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Replaced with SLAM! Wrestling. GaryColemanFan (talk) 20:30, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * GA/FA criteria for sources should be the same thing; WP:V. Thanks GCF. —Giggy 08:25, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * http://blogzarro.com/?p=184
 * It seems like a blog site, but It doesn't seem like anyone can edit it, only established personnel. So it seems okay. Plus it is a Q&A.
 * WP:SPS - is there any way of confirming that "James A." is reliable and didn't (say) make up the entire thing? That's the main issue. —Giggy 08:25, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, the reference is used to say that he worked at Urban Outfitters and that his brother is a music video director. Could we leave that info out? I can replace the brother one with this if it's considered reliable. Also, on a side note, is this reliable? It mentions how he began working for TNA in it. ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 15:16, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The 411mania site should be fine per this. Not so sure about the other one but I'll let it go as it's probably only a minor deal. Passing now, —Giggy 00:07, 4 July 2008 (UTC)


 * http://www.usenet.com/newsgroups/rec.sport.pro-wrestling.info/msg00177.html (that one needs its date wlinked in the ref if it is reliable, though I don't think newsgroups usually are...)
 * Well it's just reprinting an article that WWE.com published, but then removed. I also date the ref.-- S  R X  -- Latino  Heat  18:34, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * As SRX said, the source is an exact replica of a WWE.com article, but the link to it is dead. ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 20:08, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

That's about it - please leave me a talk page note when done. Cheers, —Giggy 08:19, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Any why is there a references section with duplicate info to the footnotes section?
 * I have no idea why? But I fixed it.-- S  R X  -- Latino  Heat  18:34, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
