1998 FA Charity Shield

1999 FA Cup Final

1999 UEFA Champions League Final

With the recent promotion of 1999 FA Cup Final to GA status, I am nominating these four articles as a Good Topic relating to the 1998–99 Manchester United F.C. season. All of the nominated articles are GA class or above, although the only Featured Article among them is the least important to the set, 1998 FA Charity Shield. – Pee Jay 08:09, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Congrats to User:KingSkyLord and User:Lemonade51 for their part in getting these articles to such a high standard. – Pee Jay 08:15, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support ~~Comments~~ you should not be using refs in the leads of the 1998–99 Manchester United F.C. season and 1999 UEFA Champions League Final articles; make sure all of the information is written in the body too and specifically sourced there. The final paras of both of the articles' leads are too short, which can be fixed by merging with the one above in both cases, plus the reference in the infobox of the latter for the referee is useless. You need to place one article in each column of the template to separate them properly but outside of these comments, the topic's content is of a high quality and well-researched! --K.

- @Kyle Peake: Thanks for your comments. I've made those fixes you suggested, hopefully not to the detriment of the articles in question! – PeeJay 13:32, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Nice to see you have made improvements, but the reference is still in the infobox for the referee. --K. Peake 21:19, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - @Kyle Peake: Must have missed that one, but it's fixed now. Cheers. – Pee Jay 13:55, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support Complete topic of a begrudgingly (as a Liverpool fan) good season. NapHit (talk) 15:40, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Question - I have no experience at all with GTC, and was brought here by PeeJay's comment on WT:FOOTY, so I'm a newbie here and this may be a silly question. So the question - shouldn't the article 1998–99 FA Premier League also be included in this topic? Since the lede of the main topic notes that they won the treble, I would believe a GTC should have articles about all three. NapHit says this is a Complete topic, but from a onlooker from the side it doesn't seem complete, unless I'm missing something and would be happy to be enlightened. --SuperJew (talk) 14:25, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Okay, I read over WP:GTCRITERIA now. One of criteria is There are no obvious gaps (missing or low-quality articles) in the topic. In my eyes, not having 1998–99 FA Premier League is an obvious gap, as this is the majority and important part of the 1998–99 Manchester United F.C. season. If the article is improved and included in this GTC, I would support. --SuperJew (talk) 07:34, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
the Venue and ticketing section of the 1999 UCL final has multiple ^{[citation needed]} tags. This will have to be dealt with. REDMAN 2019 (talk) 14:59, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support - great work. For me, the 1998–99 FA Premier League or 1998–99 FA Cup don't have to be included, since all the finals Man Utd played and the season itself are in this topic. I agree with Redman, however, that the Venue and ticketing section of the 1999 UCL final needs addressing, but that won't stop me from supporting this nom.

Closed with a consensus to promote to Good Topic. - GamerPro64 22:52, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you, Gamer. I will work to improve the citations in that one section of 1999 UEFA Champions League Final, and I will also attempt to improve 1998–99 FA Premier League to a decent standard, but I'm glad to see you're happy to promote this topic. – Pee Jay 15:57, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
