GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

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

   Ref 19 is broken. Also alot of the references are in caps. Per WP:Caps, reference titles should not be entirely caps, so fix that. I also assume that most if not all refs are reliable. Most I am familar with, but a few I am not. So I'll take those in good faith.--WillC 01:59, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

   Fixed.--Giants27(c|s) 02:20, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

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):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Note: I am lazy and don't have alot of time at points. So this review may take a while. I thought to tell you that. I forget things easily.--WillC 07:58, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

No worries.--Giants27(c|s) 18:25, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I'm not busy tomorrow so I should be able to focus. I'll finish this review first thing in the morning. Been a while, but I guess it is better late than never.--WillC 06:47, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

I'll fix your concerns, when I know the extent of what needs to be fixed.--Giants27(c|s) 19:22, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Okay, everything else seems fine. I guess it is passable.--WillC 03:20, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!--Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 18:38, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Early years

• Expand this section somemore. As much as you can, it is too small.--WillC 01:59, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
  • I don't see anything but I could be missing something considering his name is obviously a common one.--Giants27(c|s) 02:20, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
    • Well the merge with Personal is nice. I guess I'll let it slide. Usually I am more incline to fail it for this type of thing. But in this case, I won't.--WillC 10:04, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Personal

• "He was named All–State during his tenure." A link to All-State would be nice. I don't know the link. Not a big football fan, so I don't know what this means. Would be helpful for readers who do not know of him.--WillC 14:10, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
  • It's probably easier to say state All-Star team since that and All-State are the same thing.--Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 21:22, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

College career

• "On November 12, 1995 in a game against Southwest Texas State, Quinn came into the game for starting quarterback James Ritchey and threw three touchdown passes." Was this his college debut? If so that should be noted, otherwise doesn't seem that notable to me.--WillC 14:10, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
  • There's no source stating this was his college debut, but I added it since a 3 touchdown game as a sophomore with limited refs available for your collegiate career sounds notable IMHO.--Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 21:20, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
• "Quinn led SFA to a 43–14 win after throwing a touchdown pass to Chris Jefferson at the end of the first half. Stephen F. Austin held the lead for the rest of the game." Links would be nice if they exist. Also, the name comes after the acromyn. Fix that and note it.--WillC 14:10, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
  • Links? I flipped SFA and Stephen F. Austin but didn't note it since it's noted in the lead and I didn't see the need to do it twice.--Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 21:20, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Professional career

1997–2003

• Fine.--WillC 16:59, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

2004–2006

• Fine. Just wondering, hasn't he done anything since 2006? Seems a bit undercovered if you know what I mean.--WillC 16:59, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
  • Will look.--Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 21:20, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
    • The only thing I found is this article in which he's quoted as saying that the cable companies need to think of fans more. But I don't really think that's useful for the article.--Giants27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 21:27, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
