message: === He is a what? ===
The intro says that he is a "midfielder".  Nobody is going to understand this, unless they have some knowledge of football.  Contributors need to understand that our articles may be read anywhere in the world and by people who may be very different than the writers of the articles.  The reader may be someone in another country who has no interest in football, or they may be a poor person in a third world country where they have no time to lose with learning about football since they have to spend all their day working, or they may be someone who became an amnesiac and forgot everything they once knew about football.  At the very least, the word should be wikilinked, and if possible it should be explained very succintly in order not to penalise users who print out our articles in paper.  I will fix it now, but I just wanted to make sure other people here understand this issue. NerdyNSK (talk) 23:26, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I fixed it.  Note that links within the infoboxes don't count as they are not in the "main text" which is what most people read.  Some people don't even read infoboxes.  NerdyNSK (talk) 23:43, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds a bit pointy, you could say that with anything in the lead - what is the Conference National, what is welterweight, what is a cap, where is England, what is a bout, what is a knock-out. The Wikilink is sufficient. --Jimbo[online] 18:58, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with Jimbo. If someone doesn't understand what something is, then they click the wikilink (which you thankfully provided). I don't think I've ever really seen "definition" references like that. I imagine that a large number of our readers might not understand the terms used in our featured article on a Cell nucleus. I know that I don't know what a cytoskeleton is! But then I click the wikilink and learn more. As Jimbo says, the wikilink should be sufficient. Dreaded Walrus  t c 20:30, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Before I start a formal GA review, I must ask. Could articles be created on at least some of the redlinks in this article? There's quite a few for a GAN. Wizardman 15:17, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
