Discussion
editI looked at this article weeks ago, but had refrained from posting it up. I wasn't originally going to edit the content, but I think one little edit is fine. Nothing is preventing it from passing. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 15:09, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
Additional Notes
edit- ^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
- ^ Either parenthetical references or footnotes can be used for in-line citations, but not both in the same article.
- ^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
- ^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
- ^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
- ^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
Information added to article
editThis edit included some potentially useful information but it wasn't sourced and there were errors. Any help in finding sources and improving the article to include this new information would be much appreciated. :) --LauraHale (talk) 10:35, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
Update
editThis article finish in 2012 prior to Olympic Games. Since is a GD, should be updated ASAP. Thanks. --Ganímedes (talk) 16:06, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

This article was made a GA in 2012, whilst it would be a GA then, 11 years later it fails criteria 2 as not all information is verifiable and it doesn't reflect anything of her career post 2012. Her "current work" as of 2012 is likely to be out of date. At age 37, she is likely to have retired from elite and club level. For example, she is not listed on the Victoria club 2023 roster: https://vicphoenixwaterpolo.com/victorian-awl-womens-squad/ (note the team she played for Victorian Tigers has since been renamed). LibStar (talk) 07:12, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
- I don't see any reason why the information is not verifiable; the article is fully referenced.
- The Victorian Tigers left the National Women’s Water Polo League after the 2013 season. There was no Victorian team in the league from 2017 to 2021. The Victorian Phoenix was created in 2022.
- There is no information online about her career after 2013 and she is presumed to have retired. If it is really necessary we can cheat and contact her directly but the information gathered may not be able to be used in the article. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:06, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
- So do you believe this is still a GA? LibStar (talk) 23:46, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
- I see no reason why it should not be. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 00:25, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
