[edit] GAC failure
I'm sorry, but as per WP:WIAGA, a number of issues keep this article from being a Good Article. There are tons of WP:MOS problems. For example, only the first word and proper nouns should be capitalized; there should be no space between punctuation and a superscript citation; small numbers (i.e. three, four, ten) should be spelled out; contractions should never be used except in quotations. In addition, there are many abbreviations that are not spelled out- someone who doesn't follow hockey will have no idea what "G.A.A." or "OHL" (or perhaps even "NHL") stands for. There are also many one-sentence paragraphs and very short subsections, which does not conform to the "compelling prose" part of criterion 1(a). Some of the sections are very poorly written; "Recent career", "Style of Play", "Off the Ice", and "International Play" all need thorough copyedits. They contain run-on sentences, are missing commas, and generally have sentences that could be scrapped completely. One of the biggest factors in a GA candidacy (or FA candidacy) is referencing, and while this article is generally good, a few statements must be cited. Finally, while this is a less important GA criterion, the article contains zero images; a free use image of Tugnutt should be available, and if there are absolutely none, a fair use image would not be hard to find.
Feel free to resubmit this article to WP:GAC when these problems are resolved. Happy editing. -- Kicking222 21:57, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- Also, I completely forgot to mention that this article does not conform to WP:NPOV, as it has many point-of-view problems. To wit: "This was controversially, one of the worst trades Ottawa ever made." (the paragraph this sentence came from is, overall, terrible); "Tugnutt was considered their backbone. He was playing the greatest hockey of his career and was the reason the offensively challenged club had such a successful season."; "Tugnutt, who is known around the league as one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet" (this is the most unencyclopedic phrase in the entire article); "Tugnutt stopped 70 of 73 shots to earn his hapless Nordiques" (hapless?); "Tugnutt has become a much more position goaltender, standing tall in his crease and always ready to make the save." (what goalie is not ready to make a save?); "After a disappointing 4 game sweep in the NHL playoffs, Tugnutt was more then excited to play for Team Canada"; etc. -- Kicking222 22:01, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Retirement?
Tugnutt is now with HNIC, and thinking of becoming a goaltender coach. Is Tugnutt retired? If so when and should be added to the article. GoodDay 21:22, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
