Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Prose

Lede

• Whilst we usually link cities, London is usually well known enough to not require a link. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:03, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
• Did we need the citation in the lede. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:03, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
• England won the match 2–1 after extra time for their first European Championship title; first women's European Championship title; first major women's international title; and the first time a senior England side had won a major football tournament since the 1966 FIFA World Cup, in which they also defeated Germany at Wembley. - we are talking a bit of chalk and cheese here. Whilst there's something to be said for "it was the first time a national England team had won a major trophy since 1966" or similar, but this seems to talk a lot more about the mens game than is really suitable.

• Could we maybe cite the infobox stuff in the body? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:03, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
• claim a mainstream level of popularity in Europe; attendances at regular season games in both England and Germany grew massively, while the final became iconic of the sport's growth, and clubs spent more money on players and games. - seems a bit soon to talk like this. It was only 7 months ago. Hasn't even been a full season since the event. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:03, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

• @Lee Vilenski: I've removed the wikilink and moved refs where appropriate. Re. your third point on tournaments in the men's game - ending the trophy drought for the nation is something that has been basically universally noted in the media coverage. Perhaps that is strange, but we'd be remiss to not mention it when that's the media coverage. I have a similar response for your last point here, too - that while media coverage may be somewhat hyperbolic in this regard, it has been emphatic. Of course, that part of the lede an attempt to include a summary of the post-match section (the longest, perhaps most notable, part), and any suggested amendments are appreciated.

General

• Having been selected as host for the UEFA Women's Euro 2022 edition - maybe link the event here - I also noticed we haven't mentioned what UEFA is so far. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:11, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
• In the summary there's a lot of run on sentences. For example, the following is all one sentence. " In the 55th minute, England made two substitutions, replacing White and Fran Kirby with Russo and Toone, the latter of whom gave England the lead seven minutes later:[41] a long ball from Keira Walsh sent Toone clear of the defence and she chipped the ball over Frohms." Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:11, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
• This took the match to extra time with the score at 1–1. - should cite as it's the end of a para. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:11, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Review meta comments

• I'll begin the review as soon as I can! If you fancy returning the favour, I have a list of nominations for review at WP:GAN and WP:FAC, respectively. I'd be very grateful if you were to complete one of these if you get time. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:11, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

@Lee Vilenski: Hello, I just wanted to know if you are still planning to review this article. I can help you with a second opinion, if needed, since I already worked on the it.wiki version and watched the whole game myself. : D Oltrepier (talk) 09:53, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, yeah I'll get to it in a mo, forgot I'd picked it up. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:14, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

@Lee Vilenski No worries! Feel free to ping me if you need a second pair of eyes. Oltrepier (talk) 14:19, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
