This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
In the Gillingham section, this sentence ---> "...Matt Jarvis, who had been sold to Wolverhampton Wanderers", reads odd, as a person is not an object. In the Grays Athletic section, "...Cogan had signed for the club, following a medical, on a trial basis", you might want to explain that sentence, like, what do you mean with "medical"?
Changed first sentence to "who had joined", expanded medical decision.
The lead is a bit short. In the Millwall section, please link "Millwall" once. In the Grays Athletic section, there's something odd about this sentence ---> "His first goal of the game came after Barrow's |goalkeeper". Same section, link "Ishmael Welsh" once. Same section, shouldn't there be an extra "l" on "traveled"?
Lead expanded. Overlinking fixed, typos/spelling fixed.
Dead link changed to two sources that provide the same information.
Check.
B.
Reliable sources are
cited inline. All content that
could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
Are Kent Online, Kentnews.co.uk, Your Thurrock, and graysath-online.com reliable sources?
Kent Online falls under the KM Group, which is an independent local media outlet in Kent, details of KM Group can be found
here. Kentnews.co.uk is a subsidary online version of Kent On Sunday, providing
Kent based news. Your Thurrock is an independent news outlet focused on
Thurrock based news. All these pass
WP:RS and
WP:V. I have removed the stats based edit referenced by graysath-online.
It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
In the Gray's Athletic section, this ---> "...Cogan fired a shot from the edge of the penalty area after out muscling defenders Steve McNulty and Paul Jones" sounds like POV.
Could you explain what bit you think is POV? The part outmuscling the defenders has been backed up by the source. I've removed the word "fired" as this does come across a POVy/journalistic.
Well, "out muscling" is what prompted the sentence to sound POVish. But, I guess its fine.
Is it stable?
It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing
edit war or content dispute:
You're welcome for the review. Yes, the changes are good. Thank you to Jimbo online who got the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) --
