After nine successful promotions, here's another season from the history of English football club Gillingham F.C. This will probably be the last one I nominate for a while, as I have finally exhausted my collection of old editions of the Rothmans Football Yearbook :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:34, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'll begin a review of this article very soon! My reviews tend to focus on prose and MOS issues, especially on the lede, but I will also comment on anything that could be improved. I'll post up some comments below over the next couple days, which you should either respond to, or ask me questions on issues you are unsure of. I'll be claiming points towards the wikicup once this review is over.

Comments Support from Mike Christie

Support. I had a few comments, but it was easier to fix them myself. Another very competent article; not much to criticize. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 17:56, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • If you've got a comma before and in "winning 14, drawing 17, and losing 18" then I'd suggest one in "The team struggled in August and September and did not win a Third Division" as well
  • " the club's original shirts when it was founded in 1893 featured black and white stripes" might read better as "when it was founded in 1893, the club's original shirts had featured black and white stripes" but it's a nitpick
  • "who lost 2–0 to their higher-division opponents" not sure if you need "higher-division opponents" since you've just said "Plymouth Argyle of the Second Division"
  • In the "Cup matches" section, should the match details be a fourth level header? Since they seem to be subsidiary to FA Cup, Football League Cup, Football League Trophy
  • "News Of The World Football Annual but Images of England: Gillingham Football Club.
  • All very nitpicky, hope it can be of use Mujinga (talk) 00:11, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Query for the coordinators

edit
@FAC coordinators: - got another one ready to go already, is it OK to nominate it now or should I leave it a bit longer......? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:06, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think two weeks is sufficient. Feel free to nominate a second. Gog the Mild (talk) 21:08, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
