Review commentary

 * WikiProject Australian sports and WikiProject Biography notified.

I was the primary author and FA nominator of this article, but it's plainly clear that it isn't up to FA standard any longer - among other things, it's gotten quite out of date. I haven't got around to fixing it recently, and I don't know when I will, so it's probably time to get it off the FA page. Rebecca (talk) 22:54, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Rebecca dearest, leave this tidy little article alone until someone else complains—she ain't perfect, but she's alright. Michael talk 10:15, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

While what Rebecca is doing is honourable, I'd rather not see it go...anyways, a few suggestions for keeping it up, if I may (and if anyone wants to do it). I suppose there isn't much else I can say except sourcing! I'll go through and add some facts to it - hope this helps...&mdash; Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 23:25, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The first paragraph of the lead could be expanded to include her "greatest" highlights in her career or something like that
 * A free image would be good
 * Blnguyen's updates have actually pretty much addressed the issues I had with the article. The lead still could do with a little bit of work, and maybe a little more detail on the recent updates, but it's no longer out of date. The remaining problems are relatively small, and I'll see if I can have a go at them in the next couple days. It'd be great if we could actually manage to keep thi featured. Rebecca (talk) 07:20, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Am I right in guessing that this mixed competition in the UK is not professional? That's why I put "former Australian professional"...in the lead.  Blnguyen  ( bananabucket ) 07:23, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll try and throw some stuff into the lead. Dihydrogen Monoxide (party) 09:23, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

FARC commentary

 * Suggested FA criteria concern is up-to-dateness (1b). Marskell (talk) 08:20, 10 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Update I updated the article. There isn't much to do. She signed up to play in NZ at the end of 2006 but hasn't played at pro level since then. I think it's looking better.  Blnguyen  ( bananabucket ) 02:43, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Lead expanded a bit, still a few facts. Dihydrogen Monoxide (party) 09:28, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

I intend to fix the couple of remaining issues with this article in the next few days, but am currently a bit distracted due to some offline issues. Could people refrain from closing this until I've had a chance to get to the article? Rebecca (talk) 18:01, 31 January 2008 (UTC)


 * What's the status here? Nothing happening on the article since last post. Marskell (talk) 09:32, 15 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Remove, since nothing is happening, and there are still numerous cite needed tags. (The piped links to years in sports are irritating.)  I also see text redundancies, some strange punctuation, ce needs, example:  ... they would be sidelined for most or all of the season because of pregnancy, and Kydd was called upon to fill the vacancy caused by their departure .

 * I'm inclined to wait a little while longer: . DrKiernan (talk) 10:36, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Ya, I'm waiting for Rebecca. Marskell (talk) 12:39, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Ack, sorry, I missed that. Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 15:46, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

I've fixed all but one of the cites and updated the lead, so the article is practically there. It just needs something to be done about the infobox, SandyGeorgia's grammar quibbles and a couple of minor things and it'll be completely fine. I'll try and get to those in a couple more days.
