Theoren Fleury edit

Nominator(s): Reso lute 02:51, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, lets try this again. I previously nominated this article six weeks ago, but it did not pass due to a lack of reviewers. Fleury is one of the more newsworthy and controversial figures in recent hockey history, and I think one of the more entertaining sports personalities, both on and off the field of play. As there were no outstanding issues when that nomination, I have not made any real changes, but do look forward to all new feedback. Cheers! Reso lute 02:51, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This is a WikiCup nomination. To the nominator: if you do not intend to submit this article at the WikiCup, feel free to remove this notice. Ucucha 02:53, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments. No dab links, alt text present and good. ~~One dead external link, to Fleary's Concrete: [2].~~ Ucucha 02:55, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

lol. I was actually wondering when that link would go dead. I simply removed it as there was a second reference to support the statement. Reso lute 02:58, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Yes, from the article text I could understand why the link would go dead. :) Ucucha 03:02, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support carried over from last time. I think it's ready. I'll also note that the images and sources were reviewed in the last FAC, with no outstanding issues. --Andy Walsh (talk) 03:36, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment HTML fixed; thanks. ~~Please fix the invalid HTML (it breaks internal wikilinks), as noted in the W3C validator report. See Help:Markup validation #CITEREF already defined for advice.~~ Eubulides (talk) 08:21, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Err, ok. Near as I can tell, most of these errors are the result of terrible formatting on the {{Citation}} template itself, but I'll see what I can do. Resolute 15:05, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, I think most of them can be fixed with an empty |ref= parameter for {{citation}}. Eubulides (talk) 20:55, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - That did it, thanks. Should be clean now. Resolute 23:47, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yes and thanks again. Eubulides (talk) 01:02, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support: I provided an informal peer review of this article a couple of months ago; it was in good shape then, and it's in better shape now. Two minor issues:

The lead claims that he was at times the smallest player in the NHL, but that's neither cited in the lead nor repeated in the body.
"Described as the "most talented" player ever to play in Great Britain..." Not to be a pedant, but Belfast isn't in Great Britain (though I imagine the Giants played some road games there). Steve Smith (talk) 20:16, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Modified both, should be fine now. Thanks! Reso lute 22:06, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Both look good. So, um, I still support. Steve Smith (talk) 22:22, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support well done, an interesting read, meets FA standards Dincher (talk) 21:59, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support – Reviewed this article at the first FAC and thought it deserved to be promoted then. I see nothing that would cause me to change my opinion now. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 03:16, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
