Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I will use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Immediate Failures

• It is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria -
• It contains copyright infringements -
• It has, or needs, cleanup banners that are unquestionably still valid. These include{{cleanup}}, {{POV}}, {{unreferenced}} or large numbers of {{citation needed}}, {{clarify}}, or similar tags. (See also {{QF-tags}}). -
• It is not stable due to edit warring on the page. -

Links

Prose

Lede

• Could we link to the competition names in the lede? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:34, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

  Done. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 19:47, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

• "However, a 2–1 reverse" - what exactly does this mean? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:34, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

  Adjusted. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 19:47, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

• bettered only by the 1961–62 championship-winning season. - should this link to a potential [1961-62 Ipswich Town F.C. season]] article? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:34, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

  Done. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 19:47, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

• Is the lede cite neccesary? I feel it could be placed in the prose. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:34, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

  Done. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 19:47, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

• Linking is a bit hit and miss. WHy is Man City not linked? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:34, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

  Done. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 19:47, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

• What's the deal with "League:All:" in the infobox? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:34, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

  Fixed. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 19:47, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

General

• Perhaps the opening two sections could be combined into a "background" or similar section. Not sure we need a section for kit that is a sentence in size. Might be worth an extra sentence about the manager/players etc that stayed with the club. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:41, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

  I got rid of kit, it seemed anomalous and linked to a dubious source. There's plenty of evidence for the kit in any reliable source photos. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 19:49, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

• Eric Gates is a duplink. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:41, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

  Done. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 19:49, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

• Perhaps the recipient section of the players table could do with expanding in size. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:41, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

  I'm not a big fan of forcing table column widths, I like to let the browser do the parsing. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 19:49, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

Everything else seems pretty good to me. Well done. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:41, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

Lee Vilenski thanks so much for plucking this one off the list. I appreciate it. I think I've answered your notes or fixed them where applicable. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 19:49, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

Least I can do, seeings as you've done around 20 of mine! Pretty well written, it was just the lede that needed work. I'm quite happy with this one. Passing. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:08, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

Comments

• Automated note - If you fancy returning the favour, I have outstanding GA nominations that require reviewing at WP:GAN. I'd be very grateful if you were to complete one of these, however it's definately not manditory. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}
  • Hi The Rambling Man. I have a few things that could be addressed in the lede, when you get time. I'll chuck it on hold for now. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:42, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
    • Lee Vilenski, thanks, I'll try to get it to it after I get the kids to bed! Cheers. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 18:12, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
      • Never a problem. Take your time. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:48, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
