# Talk:Shareef Abdur-Rahim

There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever to support any "curse" surrounding Shareef Abdur-Rahim. The "curse" gets 5 hits on google, all of which are Wikipedia or mirrors. Hence, I've deleted it. See WP:NOR as well. BoojiBoy 04:27, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

I passed the GAC:
This article was judged on 7 criteria:

Well-written: Pass, could use slight copyediting.
Factually accurate: Pass
Broad: Pass
Neutrally written: Pass
Stable: Pass
Well-referenced: Pass
Images: Pass, no images on flickr. Quadzilla99 21:06, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
If you want to improve the article you could add it to the League of Copyeditors proofreading list, I've got Hakeem Olajuwon on there. It takes a while for them to get to the articles though. Quadzilla99 21:13, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Sounds like a good idea, I suppose we could do with waiting for this article at least. Thanks for looking at this. Chensiyuan 22:51, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Kenneth and Cricketgirl! Chensiyuan 06:43, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Thank you and to Cricketgirl also. Sports is one area I know little about; the page was interesting enough that I'll read more. --Kenneth M Burke 17:07, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

The prose is good, an 8/10.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references):  b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR): 
It is broad in its coverage.

All fine, although I'd like to see more on his personal life and please make sure that the article is continually update as his career progresses.
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
a (fair representation):  b (all significant views): 
It is stable.

It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.

Obviously, an image would be nice.
Overall:
a Pass/Fail: 
Thanks for the GAR. Chensiyuan (talk) 01:08, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi, this is a warning that the personal life information in this article is much too short. Any biography that is of GA standard must have at least one well organised paragraph describing the persons life outside of their field for which they are famous or otherwise incorporate that information elsewhere in the text. This article does not provide enough information on the person in question and does not give enough context for the incidents and information that is mentioned. For an example of how such a section might look, see Brian Urlacher and for pointers on how to expand and improve the section, see this guide. If this information is not improved then this article  would be unlikely to survive a Good Article Reassessment and may well be delisted in the future. Thanks --Jackyd101 (talk) 10:39, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

I assure you that I've hunted a long time for material on his personal life. No success. Chensiyuan (talk) 12:11, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

In the wake of a recent article on Bill Simmons' The Ringer mocking certain photos of NBA players used on Wikipedia, I searched Flickr again and found this photo below in which I think Abdur Rahim may be third from the rightmost player:
