Assessment / July 29, 2007

[edit]

I have assessed the article as being of Stub class. The article needs more information, if it exists, concerning his career and life (Early Years, Marriages (if any), Education, Family etc.). A free-image photo, if it can be found, would be excellent.--Ozgod 17:19, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More information will be forthcoming as his career progresses - and personal life info will increase as he becomes more notable in his professional life. Thanks. Ref (chew)(do) 18:02, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Naming

[edit]

Is there merit in taking this article back to Peter O'Leary (referee) to differentiate from Peter O'Leary (gaelic football)? There's seems to be a redirect issue from another Peter O'Leary article that I think has to do with the apostrophe used (I'm not sure how to fix this). Both could be then be listed at a disambig page. Don't know if this has all been worked out before, so raising it here... - Tomperc 12:49, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. It's a known issue. I created this article as Peter O'Leary (referee) - someone else then made that a redirect to Peter O'Leary and moved the article. Searching for another Peter O'Leary initially brought up no results, until I stumbled upon the article through a Google search. It was indeed created, as you say, with a format glitch on the apostrophe (I think it was cut and pasted from a Microsoft Word document, which uses countless variations of sloping and straight apostrophe marks in the program).
I then made a redirect from the 'straight' apostrophe heading to the existing 'sloped' apostrophe article (this seemed the easiest way).
If you wish to sort the mess out further (I don't), go ahead. Talk to User:Rebecca, who carried out the redirect to the present heading. I don't own the referee article of course, but I have no problem with whatever naming you choose (except for Donald Duck, or suchlike), for what it's worth. Thanks.

World Cup 2014--Nigeria vs Bosnia Herzegovina

[edit]

The first edit describing the game between Nigeria & Bosnia was properly documented, but extremely POV in execution. It stated the widely held opinion that both goals were error as FACT, which is blatantly POV. It also blamed the early exit of Bosnia from the tournament solely on the outcome of the second game, when the team had already lost an uncontroversial game to Argentina--in other words it was also disgustingly whiny.

I have modified it per the terms of the biographies of living persons policy: material that is poorly documented and not explicitly found in the cited sources is to be removed. I found no evidence in the two cited sources about claims of an uncalled foul during Nigeria's goal, only the controversial offside call. Zzyzx11 (talk) 02:40, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
