Comments by Kosack

Hi Wna247, I would say this article would be better off undergoing a peer review before coming to FAC. There are a number of major issues that I can see from a brief glance.

The article changes from referring to the club as singular or plural throughout. For example, at the start of one paragraph, you have "Stockport remained in Division 2 of the Football League for seven years until 1912–13 when they again had to seek re-election. Stockport gained 22 votes and was therefore reelected". The first sentence uses they (plural), while the second uses was (singular).
The references are formatted rather inconsistently, some are missing required information like publishers and accessdates. Quite a few fall foul of WP:ALLCAPS and there are two or three that may not be classed as reliable sources.
Naming consistency is a little off at times, for example, the article switches between using Second Division and Division 2 regularly.

Tired to address this with a quick edit, will go through and check again with further amendments - changed naming consistency e.g (2nd Division changed to Second Division etc.) throughout. Changed "County" to "Stockport" throughout. Wna247 (talk) 00:48, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Youth competitions are not typically included in honours sections.

The text needs a good copyedit I would say as well. There are obvious punctuation and grammar typos throughout.

I think this is a little way off from being considered an FA in its current form, but a good peer review would go a long way towards fixing that. If you do start a pr, drop me a line and I'd be happy to help out. Kosack (talk) 18:38, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Article is being Peer reviewed. The FAC can be closed and I will bring it back once peer review has been completed. Wna247 (talk) 15:21, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
