Well as an Tractor Boy, this was easy to write because the Budgies lost in the most dramatic way. I mean, they lost a match worth around £30 million on a penalty shootout. Once again, another article on the world's most singularly valuable football match, already a good article courtesy of a detailed review from Harrias. As with every submission I make here, I will work tirelessly to address any comment or concern raised as fast as I can. Thanks in advance for your time and energy should you decide to review.

Comments by Ceoil

[edit]

Have made some light c/es; its very well written and fittingly pacey; one of my more enjoyable recent wiki reads. More in-depth comments to follow. Ceoil (talk) 23:57, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support: A bit technical and stats heavy in places (early on, and not sure its avoidable), but a gripping read. Had only intended a drive by look at the lead and not commenting, but became absorbed and ended up going through it all. Ceoil (talk) 17:39, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Very kind of you to say that Ceoil. Your review and support are very much appreciated. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 18:41, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cas Liber looking now....and Support

[edit]

Alright then....

Okay, I think it's all good on comprehensiveness and prose. I might word a couple of things slightly differently but they'd not be dealbreakers by any means. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 02:34, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cas, thanks. Happy discuss any possible rewords. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 08:09, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments Support by Kosack

[edit]

A couple of minor points to look at, nothing much. Kosack (talk) 09:08, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kosack thanks very much for your comments, I've addressed them all above. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 20:49, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
My very minor points have been addressed, I'm happy to support. Kosack (talk) 11:18, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments Support by No Great Shaker

[edit]

Just seen the notice for this FAC and letting you know I will be pleased to read the article and provide any comments arising. Hope to be back soon. No Great Shaker (talk) 14:15, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article is certainly informative and well-written. I'm happy with the sources and images. As Casliber says above, there are some minor pieces of wording that I would probably write differently but without saying anything different. This is, of course, down to regional differences in the good old English language. So, no problem.

I'll wait for your response to the three bulleted points but this is over the line and no VAR needed. Well done. No Great Shaker (talk) 20:18, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No Great Shaker thanks for your comments, I hope I've addressed them, but do let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see actioned. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 16:05, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, TRM. Sorry, I've been unavailable today but this is absolutely fine and I'm happy to support its promotion to FA. Very well done. All the best and keep safe. No Great Shaker (talk) 20:42, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No Great Shaker no need to apologise at all. Thanks for you interest. I'll back to you re:FA Cup final. I have access to a few resources which might help! The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 21:27, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Source review – pass

[edit]

Formatting and consistency

  • Ref #10, either use "Sport: Football: Hornets sting the Blues", or cut it down to "Hornets sting the Blues" (I would favour the latter). Either way, it isn't "Sport: Hornets sting the Blues".
  • Why not use "Football Club History Database" rather than "fchd.info"?
  • Why list a publisher for Soccerbase and 11v11.com, but not Soccerway?
  • Ref #26, there doesn't seem to be an apostrophe in "The Pink Un", per their website.

Quality and coverage

  • All sources appear to be to high-quality, reliable sources.
  • No major source appear to be omitted.

Nothing major wrong here; just a few things to be tidied. Harrias (he/him) • talk 12:00, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Harrias thanks, all addressed I think. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 16:07, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
All good here, nice work. Harrias (he/him) • talk 18:16, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@FAC coordinators: think this one is "oven-ready". Cheers. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 21:40, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, thought I smelt something good wafting from the kitchen... Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 12:29, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ian Rose would anyone object if I nominated another article while I wait for this one to be closed? The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 11:10, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Not at all, go ahead. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 11:46, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
