2017 EFL Championship play-off Final

edit
Nominator(s): The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 18:52, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Commonly accepted as the most valuable single association football match in the world, this play-off final went all the way to a penalty shoot-out. Marvellous, as they say, play-offs are the ideal way to get promoted but the worst way to lose. As ever, all comments will be addressed as soon as practicable, and thank you in advance for your kind attention. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 18:52, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Source review: pass

Harrias cheers for the comments. I've responded above. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 16:09, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Harrias well with just one voice against the use of such sources, there seems to be a general consensus in favour of their use, specifically in the match report itself. Hope that helps. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 09:33, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I've been following the discussion. I've got some back to work training this afternoon (because after three months, I've forgotten how to do my job, or something...) After that I'm going to have another pass through checking the fixes and should hopefully be able to wrap this up then. Harrias talk 11:07, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
As you say, the general consensus seems to be that these sources are acceptable, so I consider this point resolved. Harrias talk 17:33, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • One new point; because you added the BBC sources into the match summary to placate me, the first source after "Obita was then booked for what Barry Glendenning of The Guardian referred to as a "rugby tackle" on Quaner." is the BBC one, not the Guardian one which actually sources it. Harrias talk 17:33, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Fixed.
Harrias cheers, I think I've now addressed your replies. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 20:10, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Great, all sorted. Harrias talk 06:57, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Mike Christie

I've copyedited a little; please revert anything you disagree with.

That's everything. It's hard to write descriptions of match play that are engaging. There's a tendency for match descriptions to collapse into proseline; you've avoided that but it doesn't sparkle. Not something I'd oppose over, though. I don't have good advice on how to do better -- I think it's one of the hardest things to do well in writing for Wikipedia. Anyway, once the minor points above are fixed I expect to support. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 19:45, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mike Christie I've responded above, apologies for not noticing your comments until now. I can do sparkling match reports when the matches are sparkling, so keep your eyes peeled for 1998 Football League First Division play-off Final...... Many thanks.

All but one point struck. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 11:09, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Looks good. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 11:28, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

*"The 2017 EFL Championship play-off Final was an association football match which was played" - "which" to "that"

That's everything. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 23:24, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Gonzo_fan2007 thanks, I've responded to each of your comments. Cheers, The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 09:05, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Gonzo_fan2007 Responded again, cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 07:32, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support from WA8MTWAYC

A great article overall (I was really pleased with Huddersfield's promotion) and it meets the criteria imo. I've got some minor comments. WA8MTWAYC (talk) 09:51, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WA8MTWAYC thanks so much for your great spots, and your support. Very much appreciated. Do let me know if there's anything else I can tweak. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 15:04, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The Rambling Man No problem! I've read the article again, but found no errors or something like that. It's a great piece of work that also mentions the odd fact such as Huddersfield's negative goal difference (certainly quite unique).
There is however something you could do for me, but only if you're willing to of course. I've listed List of Burnley F.C. records and statistics as a FLC, but so far it has received only one review. Cheers. WA8MTWAYC (talk) 18:04, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Will do. Cheers again. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 18:45, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, The Rambling Man! WA8MTWAYC (talk) 20:35, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@FAC coordinators: anything else required here? The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 14:30, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
