I've listed this article for peer review because I think this is ready for an FAC run, but I have never written a sports biography so I wanted other editors to take a look first. Pinging Bloom6132, who brought this to GAN status in 2022: happy to do a co-nom at FAC if interested, or a solo nom if not. Z1720 (talk) 01:38, 11 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This is in excellent shape. I can only find one substantive comment to make:

• The lead says she was in World Cup teams that won two bronzes, but the body says she won three -- 2006 and then two more.

• Fixed the lead and the infobox, it should have been three. Z1720 (talk) 15:07, 19 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I did notice that not all the sources are archived; not sure if you care about that -- it's not something I would bother to mention at FAC. The sources are all reliable as far as I can tell.

• IA Bot has been sometimes breaking. I'll look at archiving the sources another way. Z1720 (talk) 15:07, 19 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

One minor wording suggestion:

• "the Canadian women's baseball team wore a patch on the right sleeve of their jersey that stated "Ace", Asay's nickname": suggest 'wore a patch bearing the word "Ace", Asay's nickname, on the ...'.

• Changed. Z1720 (talk) 15:07, 19 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• @Mike Christie: Thanks for your comments, responses above. When my current FAC is finished I'm going to nominate this one. Can I ping you when this nomination is posted? Feel free to leave additional comments until then. Z1720 (talk) 15:07, 19 January 2026 (UTC)[reply] Yes, please do ping me if I don't notice the nomination.
