Mario Gómez


I've listed this article for peer review because I hope to eventually get it to GA. I'm fairly new to this process, so any suggestions on how to improve it would be welcome.

Comments from TRM
Some general comments:
 * Check for duplicate links, it's cool to link in the lead and once on the first appearance in the main body of the article, but not really needed after that.
 * I believe this is ✅


 * Avoid emotive, NPOV terms like "thrashing", "rout", "cruised", etc..  Let the bare facts talk for themselves.


 * e.g. grammar: "for Bayern as Bayern Munich won 4–0 over Indian National Football" avoid such quick repetition, and we would normally say "the Indian National..."


 * Imagine reading this if you're not a football fan. Do you think "slotting home after work" makes any sense to non-experts?


 * Mix up the prose a bit, like "Gómez scored two goals. On 16 December 2011, Gómez scored" is really tiring to read.
 * "sub"? substitute, this is an encyclopedia.


 * Link all "technical" terms, like "substitute", "corner", "pass", "cross", "header" etc etc, whatever is there. Never assume the reader is an expert in football.


 * Gets a bit proseline, like one- or two-sentence paragraphs, not elegant.
 * I'm afraid I don't understand.


 * "Gómez' "-> "Gómez's".


 * "his final half-season" is this a European football thing, like after a winter break? I don't recognise the idea of a "half-season".
 * ✅ ("In his final half-season at the Volkswagen Arena, Gómez scored only once in 15 appearances." -> "Gómez scored only once in his last 15 appearances at the Volkswagen Arena")


 * Is EU-football.info a reliable source?
 * I would individually reference all his honours. And don't put references on section headings.

 * Thank you very much! That will definitely help. Perfect4th (talk) 17:40, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
