• Not sure why those three refs are in the lead, either ref the lot or none of it (my pref) and put those refs in the main body.

  Removed.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:50, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

• Could add in the lead a brief summary of how each side got to the final.

• "2 (1986,..." that 1986 is overlinked.

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:50, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

  Fixed.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:59, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

• "Egypt were 35th in..." Prior to the final?

  At the start of the tournament.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:50, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

• There's an article for 2017 Africa Cup of Nations Group A.

  Added link.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:10, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

• I'm not mad keen on (a) the coloured tables (b) the decorative icons (c) the lack of ACCESS consideration and (d) the auto-collapsed group tables.

  I've removed the flags from the results, and also axed the group tables. Not sure what ACCESS issues you think there are here?  — Amakuru (talk) 11:10, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

  Column scopes. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:05, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

• Perhaps make it clear that each team played one another just once in the group stage?

  I've added the tournament format to Background.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:59, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

• "close-range foal" leave your horse on the sideline please.

  Neigh.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:10, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

• Sébastien Siani has an accent.

• Link penalty area.

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:10, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

• I think "follow up" in that context should be hyphenated.

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:10, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

• "quarter finals" vs "quarter-final" hyphen or nay?

  I've gone with yes.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:10, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

• "saves to Mané" saves to? saves against? saves from?

  I've amended to "saves to shots from Mané..." does that work?

• Link extra time.

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:10, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

  Fixed.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:10, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

  No.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:10, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

• "the semi-final.[15] Their semi-final" repetitive.

  Fixed.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:10, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

• "Egypt's 2017 Africa Cup of Nations campaign" might have been better to link the tournament itself in the first "route to the final" section?

  You'd think so, wouldn't you. I think happened because I swapped the two teams around at some point.

• "competing in Group D " could link 2017 Africa Cup of Nations Group D.

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:10, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:10, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

• Link kit.

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:10, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

• "attacking rhythm" bit newspaperish for me.

  Reworded.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:10, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

  Fixed.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:50, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

• Where are all the officials referenced?

  I've removed them, apart from the ref himself. Most matches don't seem to list that info.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:50, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

• In Aftermath, Héctor Cúper needs diacritics.

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:50, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

  Fixed.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:50, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

  Fixed.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:50, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

• Is BBC Sport italicised (per ref/article) or not (per article)?

  Fixed.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:50, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

• E.g. ref 34 has spaced hyphen, should be en-dash. Check others.

  Fixed.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:50, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

That's my first pass, so it's on hold. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 10:45, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man: I've finished looking at your points so far. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 11:59, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

I'll take a look as soon as I can, I'm somewhat under the gun to get the UEFA Euro 1972 Final done, but working on it....! The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 12:02, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

• The "report" link just redirects to the CAF homepage.

  I've switched to using the BBC page.  — Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

• On that note, where are the formation indicated in the graphic noted/sourced?

  The BBC page covers that thankfully. I made a small tweak to the positions of Bassogog and Moukandjo in the SVG file so they match.  — Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

• For consistency, all online refs need access-dates, e.g. ref 35.

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

• You have BBC Sport in the prose and BBC Sport in the refs.

  This was a result of a CITE REPAIR job which took place a few days ago... I've switched the prose to italics to match.

• And then oddly, Twitter (which is a website) appears non-italics, yet CNN which is a publisher is in italics... (and not linked).

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

• I think Goal.com has an article.

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

• Ref 7 vs Ref 41 both FIFA but formatted slightly differently.

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

• Ref 10 AP is linked but ref 13 PA is not?

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

• Ref 24 seems to mention DW four times, once is probably sufficient.

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

• Ref 26 I think you might have been the person to ask why I had .com after 11v11...

  Quite possibly.  — Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

• Ref 35 link publisher for consistency.

  Done.  — Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

• Ref 39 pretty sure VOA has an article.

  If you say so.  — Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

• The ext link is the CAF homepage again, not the Africa Cup of Nations site.

  I've removed it. CAF evidently aren't interested in keeping home pages for bygone tournaments.  — Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Amakuru just checking you saw these additional remarks...? The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 13:46, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man: ah, I did not. Many thanks, will get on to those shortly.  — Amakuru (talk) 13:48, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man: I have looked at all of them so far. CHeers  — Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

All good here, I'm happy to promote to GA. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:11, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
