1991–92 Gillingham F.C. season edit

Nominator(s): ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:57, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here's my 12th nomination of an article on an individual season in the history of English football (soccer) club Gillingham. In comparison to some of my prior nominations, this was a comparatively uneventful season, with one writer commenting at the end of the season on how the team were essentially utterly average, but hopefully I have managed to turn it into a reasonably engaging read. Feedback as ever most gratefully received! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:57, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comments Support from WA8MTWAYC edit

  • "The team began the season with a 4–0 victory" ==> against?
  • "Gillingham's final match of 1991" and "Gillingham ended the year" ==> feels a bit repetitive
  • Ref 31: Brown 2003, p. tbc. ==> what does this mean?
  • "until October 1992" ==> if the run was 30 away league matches, shouldn't the date be October 1993?
  • In the results box in the Associate Members' Cup section, the (H) is missing behind Maidstone United
  • "until they were promoted in 1996" ==> maybe: until they gained promotion to the Second Division in 1996?
  • That's it. Great work as usual, Chris. WA8MTWAYC (talk) 12:13, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Taking a look now....

  • Looks good on comprehensiveness and prose. Some sentences are a little on the short side but no deal-breakers are in the text. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 09:46, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comments Support from AryKun edit

  • Disclaimer: I haven't checked references and will be claiming credit at the Wikicup.
  • Made some very minor edits.
  • "first defender to score two goals on his debut in the club's history" This really feels like extreme trivia, what with the four qualifiers to make this a relevant statistic in any way.
  • Would it be worth color-coding the results in the table?
  • That's all I could find, nice work! AryKun (talk) 12:40, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • @AryKun: I removed the trivia fact about Richard Green. I don't see any particular value in colour coding the results and it would also make this article inconsistent with other football season FAs such as yesterday's TFA -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:53, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • Okay, nothing else I can quibble about so a support from me on the basis of prose. AryKun (talk) 12:56, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Edwininlondon edit

Another season: I admire your great stamina to keep working on these articles! I Support on prose. A spot check:

  • all fine are: 17, 23, 27, 29, 36, 42, 43, 59, 61, 63
  • 18 confirms their new position in the table, but we need something to back up the 1 point from 5 games
  • 19 confirms the Barnet draw but we need something else for the 4 defeats

That's it from me. Edwininlondon (talk) 17:12, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Edwininlondon: - sorted! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:34, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
OK, then it's a Pass for source review: good quality sourcing and formatting is sound as well. Edwininlondon (talk) 20:18, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
