@ArsenalFan700: I noticed this at GAN and just wanted to leave some comments, as I can't commit to a full review. Soccerway and MLS Multiplex are not reliable sources and would need to be replaced with better sources (such as MLSsoccer.com, Soccer America, OregonLive/The Oregonian, ESPN, etc.). SB Nation blogs like Sounder At Heart and Stumptown Footy are borderline, but there are better ones to be found. Also, there's no mention of the 2016 season and it's very lean on his pre-Timbers career. SounderBruce 08:34, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SounderBruce (talk · contribs) Thanks for the notes! So I have removed the MLS Multiplex sources and replaced them with more reliable ones. I have not removed Soccerway though as I don't think that is true that it isn't a reliable source... soccerway is pretty much used exclusively when making new pages and I have never seen that contested but we could totally consult Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football on that. I have also added more information in regards to the 2016 season and others as well. I have also added some more information regarding his time at Porto and Almería but I can't really find too much more regarding his time at Lanús. I will focus on that and see what I can find. Thanks again. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 19:06, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

• He is considered as one of the greatest players of all time in Major League Soccer and Portland Timbers history^{[according to whom?]} Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:31, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Changed to "Valeri is regarded by Major League Soccer as one of their greatest players of all time and in Portland Timbers history." and with a citation included. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 21:17, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• then presented - later presentedBest Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:31, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Done made the switch. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 21:17, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• He was with his first team for ten years, but the lede barely mentions his time there. Seems to be obsessed with his time at Portland. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:31, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not marking this as "done". Added what I could but there isn't too much available on his time at Lanus. I sort of look at this like with Thierry Henry, where we have a bit about his time with Monaco, a club he played over 100 matches for, before a line about Juventus. Let me know what you think? --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 21:17, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Is it not the 2015 MLS Cup rather than "MLS Cup 2015"? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:31, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, but officially it is known as MLS Cup 2015. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 21:17, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• then led - this suggests he was the captain? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:31, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Changed it to captained, and added that to the Timbers section below, with citation. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 21:37, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Valeri then led the Timbers to the final of the MLS is Back Tournament in 2020, defeating Orlando City. - and then defeated Orlando in the final or similar. Currently reads like they defeated Orlando on route to the final. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:31, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Added the final bit. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 21:37, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Valeri has been a prolific goalscorer for the Portland Timbers - is a goal every three games really "prolific"? Who says that? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:31, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Removed prolific and changed the sentence around. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 21:37, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• His international appearances could probably be expanded here. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:31, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Eh, kind of hard to do. He made a start in a friendly, not much else to add that is noteworthy besides that he made his debut. Suggestions? --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 21:37, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• of Lanús, a suburb of Buenos Aires[2] on 1 May 1986, - weird placement of ref. Which one covers his birthdate? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:45, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• 158 matches and 25 goals are covered in four sentences. Needs a bit of an expansion. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:45, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Any explanation why the team would loan out their captain? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:45, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• His second loan period just covers his debut, and nothing more. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:45, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• The loan to Timbers can be merged into the main section Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:45, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• The next season, on 19 July 2014 - is the date important? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:45, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Is his quote (in the box) really necessary? It doesn't seem to add much. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:45, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Link for ACL Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:45, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Valeri made his first appearance on 2 May 2015 - this wasn't his first appearance. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:45, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• He opened the scoring for the club after just 27 seconds, deflecting a clearance from Columbus goalkeeper Steve Clark to give the Timbers the very early lead. - we don't need to say "very early lead" we have the time. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:45, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• declining his contract option, Valeri signed another contract extension with the Portland Timbers - what does this mean? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:45, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Valeri would go on to make just two more appearances - he is an active player though, surely he could get more? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:45, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Style of play seems to be completely based on his Timbers time, surely he must have gotten a reputation before playing at Porto? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:45, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• I'll begin the review as soon as I can! If you fancy returning the favour, I have a list of nominations for review at WP:GAN and WP:FAC, respectively. I'd be very grateful if you were to complete one of these if you get time.

  • Any update on this one ArsenalFan700? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:12, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I am sorry about that. This review began right after I arrived in Michigan for vacation. I am only able to do a couple small things on wikipedia for the time being. I will start looking at this tonight but I will probably need a little under a week more to get through all of these items properly. Let me know if that works and I will begin as soon as I can. Really do appreciate you starting this though. Cheers. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 16:36, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Keep in contact. I'm happy to keep this open for an additional 7 days. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:19, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

HiArsenalFan700 - any update on the remainder? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 11:28, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Actually booked in time on my schedule to hit at the rest :D Sorry for the pace here. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 13:03, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

, enough time has passed. Failing with regret. Please open a new GAN to proceed. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:59, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
