GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

---

I see you're experienced in getting Canuck-related pages to GA status.

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   One thing here is that the lead should be two paragraphs. I think it splits easily before "Known as an offensive forward..." At "he received another call-up the following month..", that is an extra period. I also think the one sentence paragraph about living with his brother in Florida should be moved up to the paragraph about his family. On second thought, all that was easily enough done that I did it myself. You fix the sources, and I'll pass this.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   There is one reference that redirects, #57, "Canucks' Booth to miss 4-6 weeks; Avs' Porter faces hearing". "He finished the 2004–05 season with 16 points (7 goals and 9 assists) over 29 contests" and "Over four years with the Spartans, Booth finished his college career with 105 points in 134 games" should be referenced. I thought at first that the fastest two goals scored in a game bit was unsourced, but I see the source is in Note 2, since there is something to source there. I think it should be in the text as well.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   The image should have a caption. The infobox template has a parameter for one. I did this too.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   All things considered, I can only find these few things at this point. Just a couple things to fix and you've got yourself another GA.

I noticed a ref that had a bare url and since I was taking the time to put that into a template I went ahead and fixed the redirect issue and ref Booth's college stats. Cheers --Mo Rock...Monstrous (leech44) 04:09, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

• I must have missed that one of them was bare. Thanks for fixing this. This article can now pass. – Muboshgu (talk) 14:56, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
