Part of August 2023 backlog.

There is an issue with some of the references; some links are either dead or redirect. 5, for example, is dead, while 83 redirects. Check all the sources, especially those retrieved years ago, and replace them with archived pages (perhaps on the Wayback Machine). If not, then replace with another source that says the same thing or delete the statement. I checklink'd and there are numerous problems, see here. Unfortunately, the tool can't fix the issue, so you'll have to do it manually. Until that's fixed, I'll put the review on hold.

Okay I have sorted those dead links out now. Thanks. EchetusXe 16:13, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Alright, I'll continue the review shortly. Good work. 123Writer ^talk 16:25, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Infobox, Lead, Images, References

Infobox seems well-formatted, with info not in body cited in-line.

Lead provides a good overview of article, with good paragraphing that focuses on current and past affiliations. All info not cited in-line is cited in body, no issues.

Images are relevant to the subject, either own work or properly attributed to creator, and captioned properly.

Above issues on references have been fixed. I've archived all links so that doesn't become an issue in the future. (I couldn't use the bot prior as it'd just archive the redirect I think.) No issues.

Career

Watford

Spot-check: 4, 8, 10.

...on 85 minutes. -> 85 minutes into the game. Could also be at the 85 minute mark. Your discretion.

Done.--EchetusXe 23

2010–11 season

Spot-check: 6, 13, 19

Did some copy-editing. See history for changes and holler if you have any issues.

Wealdstone loan

Spot-check: 20, 25

25 makes no mention of his total games and goal count. Is it possible to find a source of some kind for this?

Done.--EchetusXe 23

2011–12 season

Spot-check: 26, 29

No issues.

Yeovil Town loan

Spot-check: 32, 35, 41, 45

No issues.

Colchester United loans

Spot-check: 46, 51, 53, 57

No issues.

Colchester United

Spot-check: 58

No issues. Actually, looking at the rest of the article, I wonder if the season subtitling could be removed and this entire section condensed to the more notable appearances. Thoughts?

123Writer ^talk 17:41, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Yes I agree, probably the same with the Watford section too.--EchetusXe 23:31, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

2012–13 season

Spot-check: 60, 63, 65, 70

63 says Graham Massey.

123Writer ^talk 17:17, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

lol, no such player, the BBC made a typo there.--EchetusXe 23:31, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

2013–14 season

Spot-check: 72, 75, 78

Changed a football fan term into language more appropriate for a general audience.

123Writer ^talk 17:17, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

2014–15 season

Spot-check: 80, 85, 93

Again, some copy editing.

2015–16 season

Spot-check: 94, 97

No issues.

Leyton Orient

Spot-check: 101, 105, 107

Thought the term goal drought was a bit strange so changed it. Other than that, no issues.

Wigan Athletic

Spot-check: 108, 113, 115, 118, 121, 125

Removed adjective powerful as it's unnecessary.

Anything notable happen since January?

123Writer ^talk 17:50, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

I've added some conclusion to the previous season.--EchetusXe 23:31, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Great! All issues seem to be addressed. Another successful GA for you. :D 123Writer ^talk 04:17, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
