1960 European Nations' Cup Final

(

)

... that the meagre attendance at the 1960 European Nations' Cup Final in Paris was blamed on crowds who "wanted western European glamour, not mysterious teams from the other side of Europe"?

5x expanded by The Rambling Man (talk). Self-nominated at 21:01, 25 June 2021 (UTC).

Hi The Rambling Man, review follows: article more than 5x expanded from 25 June; article is well written but it's a shame there's not more detail on the actual match (I guess limited by what the sources say?); article is cited inline throughout generally to reliable sources, I just want to query Pitchinvasion.net and euro2008.football-shirts.co.uk (both retained from the original stub), what makes them reliable? I didn't pick up any overly close paraphrasing from the sources I checked, the automatic detector picks up a passage from Memolands.com but given the publishing date they must have copied from us; hook is interesting and mentioned in the article, happy to AGF on offline source; a QPQ has been carried out. Would be a good candidate to feature on the day of the Euro 2020 final, 11 July? - Dumelow (talk) 09:26, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

Dumelow thanks for the review. I concede the nom may have been a touch premature, I intend to add a match summary with more detail today and to replace those dubious sources. I'll let you know when I've done it if you like. And yes, it might be a nice DYK for the Euro 2020 final day! The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus!

Sure thing, give me a ping here and I'll pop back to finish the review - Dumelow (talk) 09:42, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

Dumelow thanks for your patience. I didn't expect it to be picked up so quickly! I've expanded the match summary using RS and think all should be in order. Thanks again for your attention to detail. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 16:22, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

Looks good The Rambling Man. I see I accidentally used the approved icon above, but to confirm all is fine - Dumelow (talk) 16:57, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

Dumelow thanks, very much appreciated. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 16:58, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
