Pre 2007 Club World Cup

I have noted explicitly in this that while FIFA said that the three previous Club World Cup winners could also wear the badge with A.C. Milan in 2008 (until a new Cup World Cup champion emerged at the Dec 2008 final), when Corinthians won the Club World Cup in 2012, FIFA stated that they had now joined the "elite group" of winners, and confirmed that the first club winner was A.C. Milan. Britishfinance (talk) 21:38, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

   Pass/Fail:

General

• All references in the prose and tables should be rearranged in numerical order and not jumbled up in an incorrect order.  Done

Badge rules

• "The badge has the shape of a shield measuring 78 millimetres by 58 millimetres," - The 78 by 58 mm (3.1 by 2.3 in) badge is shaped like a shield,.  Done
• "and shows the image of the relevant trophy" - displays.  Done

Non-FIFA competitions

• "during F.A. Cup fixtures" - the full stops in "F.A." are not needed in these modern times.  Done
• "badge during F.A. Cup fixtures but not in Premier League fixtures," - try not to repeat the same word close together in the same sentences.  Done
• "the English FA granted Liverpool F.C." - the "F.C." is not needed.  Done

National teams

• "In September 2008, the badge was extended to the FIFA World Cup and was presented to Italy, who were reigning champions (having won it in 2006)," - better the defending champions from 2006 Italy,.  Done

Records

• The mentions of the phrase "(see table below)" are not needed on this encyclopedia.  Done

Continuous periods

• The second paragraph should be referenced with reliable citations - SEE COMMENTS BELOW

Number of times

• The whole section is unreferenced and will require citations from reliable sources - SEE COMMENTS BELOW
• "Real Madrid has won right to wear the badge four times since its inception, while Barcelona has won the right three times" - earned the insignia to avoid repetition of the same phrase in the same sentence.  Done
• "the Portugal national beach soccer team is has won the right twice" - the word in bold should be deleted as it is out of place.  Done

Beach soccer: Male

• Portugal in the table has no reference at all.  Done

Notes

• Note a: "The 2015 Fifa Equipment Regulations notes that the dimensions are 80 millimetres by 55 millimeters" - FIFA.  Done
  • Also the measurement would be better of formatted as 80 by 55 mm (3.1 by 2.2 in).  Done
• Note b: "because Italy were reigning champions from the 2006 World Cup, whereas A.C. Milan were the reigning champion" - defending winners or title holders to avoid repetition of the same phrase within the same sentence.  Done

References

• Reference 14 is from The Daily Telegraph not The Daily Mail.  Done

MWright96, thank you for that - very helpful comments. I have been able to fix most of them (noted above under each one), except for the questions for citations in the "Records" section. The "Number of Times" sub-section is just a summary from the tables below; it is not cited anywhere, but I don't think would be OR as the tables should be straightforward to read? Same issue with the USWNT record (although, there was a specific FIFA post on this on their website but it has become broken and can't link to it anymore); however, the UNWNT are the only team to win it more than once in a row, so again, I was hoping the tables would suffice (hence why I had the "see table below" part). Hope that makes sense? Look forward to your comments. Thanks again. Britishfinance (talk) 19:24, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
