Reviewer: Batard0 (talk · contribs) 12:23, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

I'm beginning a review of five articles about African women's football teams simultaneously. Unless they're finished earlier, I will put them on hold for at least a week and a half as the review process continues, recognizing that this will likely be somewhat more complex than the average GA review. For reference, the articles are as follows:

• Burundi women's national football team
• Central African Republic women's national football team
• Gambia women's national football team
• Guinea-Bissau women's national football team
• Togo women's national football team

--Batard0 (talk) 12:23, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

I made some edits for clarity and concision. I think it's getting better, but let me know if you disagree with anything. Meantime, here are some specific points for clarification:

• I'm not sure where the training five times a week fits into the article, as in the Guinea-Bissau one. I'd consider removal.
  • Removed. --LauraHale (talk)
• I don't get how we're saying they played five games in 2006, and then go on to describe seven. Were a couple of these not FIFA-sanctioned?
  • I think I fixed this. --LauraHale (talk) 00:17, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
• Standardization of "History" "Team" "The team" sections (all the sections after the leads).
  • Fixed. --LauraHale (talk) 00:05, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
• What happened with the Africa Women's U-20 World Cup qualifiers? It says Togo had a walkover win, but then doesn't say what happened next.
  • Fixed. --LauraHale (talk) 00:05, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
• Same issue with human rights clause.
  • Fixed. --LauraHale (talk) 00:11, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
• What does it mean for the country to have 380 registered players? Are these people registered with the national federation?
  • Yes, registered players means they are registered through the national federation. This is different than how many people play the sport casually. (No data that I can find on that.) --LauraHale (talk) 00:11, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
• As with the others, when we talk about organised football, can we be more specific about what sorts of teams/players these are? Are these professional or national leagues? Same goes for the national competition. It would be good to have some more clarity on what that is.
  • Can't be more specific as the sources don't really explicitly spell it out. Found a source for another tournament that may give a better idea that this is not professional women's football. (Which is the case in Rwanda, where the sources explicitly state that.) --LauraHale (talk) 00:38, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

That's it for now. I think we're on the way here. --Batard0 (talk) 03:09, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Update: I think we're pretty much good to go. Just one thing:

• I'm confused about reference #23. While it comes from a German site, I'm presuming it's in French because that's the colonial language there. Second, does this really come from or incorporate info from the German Wikipedia? It looks to me like it's a website not connected with Wikipedia. I'd be concerned if we were using Wikipedia to reference a Wiki article, as I believe that's prohibited. But I'm sure I just don't understand the whole story.
  • • I have no idea where the reference comes from regarding Togo and use from German Wikipedia. I put it in there based on 499836267 that edit. Ah! I see! It is the LANGUAGE template. Der. Fixed that problem by removing the template. --LauraHale (talk) 06:41, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
      • Thanks. I changed the language parameter to French in ref 23, because it appears to be in French, not German. Let me know if I'm mistaken; if not, I'll list it.--Batard0 (talk) 06:52, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
        • • Looks good to me. :) --LauraHale (talk) 07:25, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Let me know and I think we'll be sorted.--Batard0 (talk) 11:38, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

GA Reassessment

This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Togo women's national football team/GA2. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

Over the coming days, I will be reassessing this article to determine whether it still meets the Good Article criteria. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 05:08, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	Some issues, those are detailed below.
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	Numerous issues. Team rosters need missing information added, Individual records have two empty and orange-tagged lists, honours section is empty, managers section is unsourced, the first all-time records section has no citations or a color key, the second all-time record section which is named identically to the first one has two empty lists, etc. See also section doesn't need "Women's football in Togo" if there's no link there.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	Refs 14 and 15 are formatted incorrectly, Ref 17 is a bare URL. A couple other inconsistencies (Ref 8 and 9, for example)
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	Happy to go through these individually once other issues are taken care of.
	2c. it contains no original research.	Managers list and Achievements section are unsourced.
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	Only one line of unsourced prose about the "Team image", which just gives the name of the home stadium. No background info or anything like that is given.
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	Team logo is fair use.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	Team logo is relevant.
	7. Overall assessment.

Issues with criterion 1a

Lead/infobox

• Article has been orange-tagged for an update since September 2020
• No need to include "unknown" in the infobox, just take those fields out
• The lead first paragraph says "The team has played five FIFA-recognised matches" but the second paragraph says "Currently, they are unranked on the FIFA Women's World Rankings for not having played more than five matches against officially ranked teams", this seems contradictory to me. Also their FIFA ranking is listed as 115 in the infobox so this second paragraph of the lead seems inaccurate.

History

• In the second paragraph, is there any explanation as to why they withdrew?
• Third paragraph, "The performance of the new team, however, wasn't good as expected" → how good were they expected to be?
• Third paragraph is entirely unsourced.

Overall review conclusion

WP:GAR states that An individual assessment may be closed after seven days of no activity. As there have been no improvements made on the article and the reassessment has been open for nine days, I am closing the review. My conclusion is that the article fails GA criteria 1a, 1b, 2a, 2c, and 3a, at least, and therefore will be delisted. If improvements are made in the future, and the article is brought up to par, it can be renominated for GA. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 18:15, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
