Scotland national football team edit

Seems to me to be a good, detailed, well referenced article. What sort of improvements need made to attain GA/FA status? Archibald99  23:19, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment A very good article, but a few comments nevertheless.
  1. There is some info in the lead (e.g. the result of the first international) that isn't in the main part of the article. I believe WP:LEAD frowns upon this. I'd check all info in the lead is either in the main article, or moved if it's very detailed (e.g. the score, or goalscorers)
  2. How did Scotland fare in the British Home Championship?
  3. Could wikilink 1954 to 1954 FIFA World Cup.
  4. Citations needed - the History section up to 1998 has only one citation, should be easy to find them. Also, is it possible to provide citations for Scotland's highest (& lowest) Elo & FIFA rankings?
  5. "1970s generally considered...", "...is generally regarded as the best goal..." - weasal words, cite or lose.
  6. Many one sentence paragraphs towards the modern era in History section.
  7. Tables look untidy, perhaps consider central justification within the article, they're awfully blank as well, although I understand it's because they didn't qualify. Perhaps it's not the best way to present this information, but right now I can't think of another way, maybe removing the blanks would help...
  8. Stadium section lacks citations, and supporters section has but one, it needs more (e.g. "...were also named the World's Friendliest Fans during the 1998 World Cup..." needs citation)
  9. Players section - put (c) for captain next to Ferguson in table and remove manager - that's stated in the infobox.
  10. What makes the players "noted"? In most FA football team articles, a fork is created to handle lists of players with justification as to why they were noted (e.g. 50 appearances, 50 goals, crucial contributions).
  11. Remove the recent results section, just leave the link to the results fork.

Hopefully some of that helps... The Rambling Man 16:24, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
