Comments: Since most of the sources are offline, I'll have to take your word for a lot of this, and I believe that AGF is not really optional. Though I am quite amazed by the amount of work put into gathering all this information. The issues that I present are not going to be easy to fix, but with some copyediting it should come out just fine. The first issue is this image: Peter_Canavan_-_SFC_2005_cc_3.0.jpg It is not appropriately tagged and this is a problem. Also it appears that the image source is NOT 3.0 because it is disputed by a claim of "Copyright © 2014 Cumann Lúthchleas Gael Uladh" at the bottom of the page and the individual images are of unknown origin and they are being disputed by the website's blanket claim which puts it into doubt. Any doubt means this should be removed. The next issue is the prose, please do a complete copy edit. Here are some issues:

• "This was the first ever All-Ireland Football Final.." - Remove "ever"
• "by virtue of victories" Flowery.
• " Armagh, meanwhile, lost to " - happened at the same time? Drop "meanwhile".
• "which meant they had to enter the All-Ireland qualifiers" three words need to be removed.
• "There were some restrictions on which sides could play each other in the quarter-finals because sides had previously met in the provincial championships" - wording.
• " as Tyrone comfortably won by 1–21 (24 points) to 0–05." - remove comfortably.
• "White had already refereed two All-Ireland finals – namely Kerry against Mayo in 1997 and the replay of Kerry against Galway in 2000." - Relevance?
• " Some analysts did, however, comment on the genuine desire to win both teams displayed." -wording.
• "... controversially sent off in the second half following an off-the-ball incident," - What incident? Explain.
• "In his speech after lifting the trophy, Peter Canavan dedicated the victory to "...every Tyrone team I have played on, ...the 1986 team (beaten in the final by Kerry), and ...every player who played on teams without success." - Why is this quote needed and not paraphrased?
• "Two years later, Peter Canavan's return from injury, coming on as a substitute in the last ten minutes, finished 14th in RTÉ's 2005 series of Top 20 GAA Moments.[57]" wording.

Please just run through and do a full copy edit, those were just a few of the issues that I noticed, but a few fixes and the image matter and this should be passable. I will place it on hold now. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:20, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

I have removed the image and done a copy edit. I haven't done much copy-editing before but I hope it's led to improvements in the article. ScoobyHugh (talk) 12:59, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
