  • Well-written -the prose is clear and concise, respects copyright laws, and the spelling and grammar are correct; and it complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
  • Verifiable with no original research: it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline; it provides in-line citations from reliable sources for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines; and it contains no original research.
  • Broad in its coverage: it addresses the main aspects of the topic; and it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
  • Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without bias, giving due weight to each.
  • Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.

Comments: Only very few issues I could find in this article, I think with those fixes there should be no objections to passing. "His only season as a Dortmund player was both frustrating and successful." - Cite, sounds like an opinion. Done

  • "With wife Jaroslava and their two children, " - Prose. Done

"Berger scored a brace of goals in a 3–0 win against Leicester City. " - Brace is jargon and cite please. Done

  • "He left the club,[23] having played 194 games for Liverpool, scoring 35 goals in the process." Cite for the end please. Done
  • "Patrik's" sic  Not doneMOS:QUOTE recommends sic for a significant error but Patrik is the given spelling and WP:CONTRACTIONS recommends that "contractions should not be expanded mechanically". There are three contractions in the quote and the guideline doesn't appear to require these be deleted.
  • As far as I'm aware, possessive and omissive apostrophes are rendered using the same character, so it is not necessary, however I have added the sic template per your request. Done
  • Expand on "After the club successfully avoided relegation" and cite "then-manager Alain Perrin and the club chose not to renew his contract in June 2005. "  Done
  • "During his loan spell," Word choice. Also with following sentence. Done
  • " On 6 May 2008, he was told he had played his last game for Aston Villa after urging captain Gareth Barry to move to Liverpool.[41]" Context of this dispute please. And wording. Done
  • " In November 2008 Berger scored " missing comma Done
  • "He was known for his competence from set pieces, being particularly productive in free kick situations." Done – removed and replaced

That's all the issues I could really find. Please fix them and I can pass it. Placing on hold now. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 15:06, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
