Talk:Mercury Hayes

message: There's an inconsistency in this article regarding Hayes' birthdate.  Was he born in 1973 or 1971?  That needs to be fixed before this article can be a Good Article.  Cheers! Esrever 01:17, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately,this article doesn't currently meet GA status requirements. While the references are of great quality (and well formatted to boot), there’s just not info in the body of the article. The main reasons this article didn't pass are that it's not well written, isn't broad enough in it's coverage, and isn't focused enough on Mercury himself in places (like the 1996 NFL draft). Here are some suggestions that might help the article get to GA status: 
*Add the Persondata template to the article.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD)  01:33, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  GA Review #1 

message: The review is on hold as these need fixing:
*The first sentence of an article should always be concise.  I have revised the first sentence.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD)  01:27, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: GAN review

message: (edit conflicted with Epbr123) When clicking on this article I initially intended to do a GA review, but upon reading through the article it became clear that my lack of familiarity with American football would make a review difficult. Instead I shall leave some comments and request a second opinion.
*The article is heavy in statistical content, which to a certain degree makes it impenetrable to someone unfamiliar with the sport. Questions raised when reading the first section of the body (with no obvious wikilink to answer them) included:
**both major polls what polls are these?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD)  02:58, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Fans or the press might have called it a miracle, but it was not performed by a deity or by supernatural means. The term "miracle" needs to be attributed. Oldelpaso (talk) 21:19, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
