Wikipedia:Peer review/Sunil Chhetri/archive1

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because, like with Baichung Bhutia, I want this to become a GA and then an FA. I believe I have used every piece of information available out there about this young footballer and it just needs a few finishing touches.

  • Numbers under ten should be written in words, so "he scored 8 goals over three seasons" should be "he scored eight goals over three seasons"
  • Write "2nd" as "second"

  • "Sunil Chhetri was born in New Delhi to parents of Nepalese origin; KB Chhetri, a retired army personnel" - you can't describe a person as "a personnel", as "personnel" is a group noun for all the people in a company/unit. You'd need to refer to him as a "retired army officer" or something similar, depending on exactly what he did in the army

  • "The 2004-05 season saw Chhetri" - a season can't see as it hasn't got any eyes, maybe try "Chhetri once again scored two goals in the 2004-05 season"

  • "One of his most notable performances for a club to date was...." - you don't actually explain what was notable about his performance - did he score loads of goals? Play especially brilliantly? Or was it just that it was a high-profile match?
Removed some of it. It doesn't seem to be a hugely notable match as few sources mention it. Spiderone (talk) 15:59, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Brace links to a disambiguation page
Changed to Wiktionary link, it's the 9th definition Spiderone (talk) 15:58, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Chhetri spoke in an interview saying "Nothing has been confirmed as yet but yes, I think I am close to getting there,"" - if this was the case, why did he never sign for them? The article doesn't explain this

  • "Coventry City boss, Chris Coleman announced" - no need for the comma
  Done Spiderone (talk) 08:16, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • "that they will not be following their interest in the Indian striker" - should be "that they would not"
  Done Spiderone (talk) 12:30, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Chhetri said that he will again be going to Coventry City on an extended trial of 15 days in June 2009" - again, "will" should be "would"

I have only briefly commented on bits that stand out as an obvious to me. I don't have time to check the references with a fine tooth comb.

  • Infobox needs fixing, stats should be aligned and n dashes used.
n dashes? I don't see any on John Wark. Spiderone (talk) 12:32, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I do.
  • Headers - are the years to and from needed?
  Done No they aren't Spiderone (talk) 12:37, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • "is known for his high work rate, ball control and goal scoring ability." - Sounds like POV, nothing in the main article to back up these comments.
  Done Spiderone (talk) 12:37, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the first para of club career, 9th and 7th should be written as words. This happens quite a bit through the article when referring to be Xth placed in a league.
  Done Spiderone (talk) 17:13, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Seasons should include n dashes too.
They all use this dash: "–" Spiderone (talk) 12:37, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That is an n dash.
  • International goals table consists of a lot of overlinking.
  Done and n dashes Spiderone (talk) 17:12, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There are two different flagicons for Chinese Taipai now though.
