Goal minutes fixing

edit

Goal minutes fixed according to DFB site or Belgian TV site and West Germany - Belgium full match

Those are not the authority on the times of the goals. UEFA organised the competition, so what they recorded is what we should say too. – PeeJay 12:49, 26 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi @PeeJay:
To rely on one single source seems to me not being the Wikipedia philosophy: “There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected” (from the General notability guideline).
I don’t see any reason for not improving UEFA site information as long as alternative sources are provided.
Let me show these examples:
Vandereycken didn’t score in the match England-Belgium(as in the title or the text).
The match was not played in “Delle Alpi” only built in 1990.

5x expanded by The Rambling Man (talk). Self-nominated at 15:19, 19 July 2021 (UTC).Reply

  •   Hi The Rambling Man, review follows: article more than 5x expanded from 15 July; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I don't have access to the offline sources but found no issues with overly close paraphrasing from a spotcheck on the ones I could access; hook is interesting and mentioned in the article, technically cited offline but easily confirmed from other sources; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks good to me, another in a fine series on this subject - Dumelow (talk) 11:43, 21 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, spelling, and grammar):   b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):  
    "although a number players" → "although a number of players"
    "which Vandereycken scored" → "that Vandereycken scored"
    Add a comma after "Hrubesch later said".
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):   d (copyvio and plagiarism):  
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):   b (focused):  
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:  
  6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales):   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:  
Some Dude From North Carolina done, cheers for the review. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 18:32, 22 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
