Hello, EchetusXe. I'll be doing this review and will use the checklist above to register progress. Hope to provide some feedback soon. No Great Shaker (talk) 15:32, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
There was a bit of copyediting needed and I've done that myself. The only problem was with the incomplete harvard citation method as links to the source books couldn't be achieved, so I fixed that using the cite book/ref=harv method. It's a very interesting article and I've learned quite a lot from it. I'm old enough to remember Roy Sproson playing and I knew he was the main man at Vale, spending all of his long career there. I'd forgotten that Scott Burgess went to Vale last year and I hope he's been doing okay.
Anyway, this is a good article and it passes the review. Well done. No Great Shaker (talk) 21:20, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks very much. I'd just slowly maintained it over the years and then realised with a bit of effort I could get it up to GA. It could so very easily have been Port Vale that fell into non-existence last year instead of/as well as Bury, sorry about your club.--EchetusXe 11:51, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
- That's fine, thanks. Maybe we'll come back to the league one day as a phoenix, like Halifax may be about to do if they can win their playoff. I'm hoping we are just a one-off and not the start of a domino effect. I don't want any other clubs going under. All the best. No Great Shaker (talk) 15:30, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
