Currently On Hold Pass

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   B. MoS compliance:

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   Could we have a link to the game's official site, or if it doesn't have one the leagues official site webpage on that?

• • No official site for the game exists, I will add a link to The Football League's official website, that's the best I can manage

Looks good

1. B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   C. No original research:

2. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   B. Focused:

   Only covers the match and previous matches. Can it cover anything else like: sponsors reactions, revenue, fans?

• • Revenue for individual matches is not normally published in the UK, nor do sponsors generally publicly announce their reactions. The fans are covered by the mention of how many were present and the huge disparity in the number supporting each team, not sure what else there is to say beyond that.........
    • Found a bit about revenue and added that in

Fine

1. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

   Seems fine.

2. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

   History looks clear

3. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   A logo of the match, or the playoffs is needed. Example

• • Neither the playoffs in general, nor the final specifically, has its own logo, so there is nothing which would be appropriate to add here

1. B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

   The picture of Darren Sheridan doesn't make sense, and if it stays there, it needs a new caption.

• • Sorry, but I don't understand why it "doesn't make sense". The player in question was involved in a pivotal moment in the match, which is covered in the paragraph which the image appears alongside, and is mentioned in the caption, please elaborate on why this "doesn't make sense".....
    • Re-worded the caption, don't know if it helps at all.........

I was thinking more of a picture of the him commiting penalty, or him while playing the game, but it is better.

1. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   Need to fix 2A, 3B, 6A, 6B. LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 23:35, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing my article -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:44, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Could You put in a "See Also" section with links to the 2 team's articles, and leagues articles. LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 21:54, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Done that, hope it looks OK - ChrisTheDude (talk) 05:53, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Actually I was wrong about that, but Peanut4 , already reverted. Congratulations, I will now pass it. LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 03:56, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Queries

• "... by Peter Middleton, the chairman of the League, ..." is that the Football League? He's not mentioned in the FA article as ever being "chairman"... The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:31, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man: That's what the programme says - I have it in front of me now. I can take and upload a quick picture if it helps..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:36, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

I don't doubt it. I'm just wondering who he really was...! The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:39, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Here's his obit, which mentions his "brief" spell as League chairman -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:42, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

He sounds like a character! I wonder if he should be added to the Football League article in that case. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:47, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
