  • New, long enough, hook below 200 and interesting, QPQ done,cites sources. POV seems ok but still suggest an another editor to go through article as I am not confident about it.--Nizil (talk) 19:52, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Can you specify what the problem is re POV so I can address it? - Shudde talk 06:54, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
  • sentences like: his reputation contributed to him being approached to play in Joe Warbrick's New Zealand Native football team may not NPOV. But its bit confusing in POV, so I asked for another editor.--Nizil (talk) 07:14, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Regarding the subject of the article. Greg Ryan (ISBN 0-908812-30-2; see the article page for details) wrote "... made his mark as one of the most gifted, colourful and ultimately controversial figures of early New Zealand rugby. Unanimously regarded as the best back in the colony, ..." (italics mine) from Pg. 28. Later on "The leading try scorer and star player of the Native team on the field ..." Pg. 135. So the view of him as one of the most talented players of his era are backed up by a neutral RS. Greg Ryan is a sports historian (the book I'm quoting was based on his Masters thesis). I haven't praised Keogh to the same extent Ryan did; if anything to avoid criticism like this. - Shudde talk 07:50, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
OK. I consider it as NPOV as you satisfy by your answer. Good to go. --Nizil (talk) 10:32, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
