It is my aim to get this article to Featured List standard, and I would like some constructive comments about the content of the page and the amount of referencing on it. Anything about columns I should add to or remove from the table, or how I could expand the Lead section would be much appreciated.

The most obvious need to me is an expanded lead section. Fortunately, there are a ton of team season FL's that can give you ideas. Including those for football, baseball and hockey.

Second, you will require specific citations. Aston Villa F.C. seasons uses inline citations in the table headers for each column, though in the past, I've added lines at the end of the article in a general references section that says something like this:

Season-by-season record: http://www.myteamwebsite.com/standings
Attendance figures: http://www.myleaguewebsite.com/attendance

etc. Basically, so long as there is a specific citation for the season-by-season results, playoff/cup results, leading scorers and attendance, imo. And, of course, specific citations, preferably inline, for claims made in the lead section. A relevant image would be ideal, if available, though not necessary, imo. Good luck!

Many of my suggestions are in relation to what has been done previously on seasons lists which have been successful at WP:FLC.

"...from 1921..." - doesn't this mean 1931?

Yes. This has now been corrected. --TwentiethApril1986 (talk) 01:43, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lead will definetely needs a good expansion.
An image should be found for inclusion.
A footnote could be used to say when the League Cup was founded.
- Done
A footnote could also be used to say what competitions are included for the goals scored by the top scorers.
Wikilinks for the divisions in the list itself aren't really needed as they're in the key.
- Done
When the team participated in a new league or if it was renamed, it could be bolded.
- Done
When something was won or when they were champions of a league, it could also be bolded.
- Done
Articles need creating for redlinked top scorers.
When the record for most goals in a season was set or equalled, the scorer and their number of goals could be bolded.
I'd not sure on highlighting the move to the Kassam Stadium in blue - maybe a footnote could be use to say this?

Yeah I'll add a footnote, that seems a better idea. --TwentiethApril1986 (talk) 01:43, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Should be able to have a crack at WP:FLC. Thanks, Mattythewhite (talk) 20:22, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You said you wanted to know what to work on before taking to FLC, so I looked at the sourcing and referencing with that in mind. I reviewed the article's sources as I would at FAC. (Bear in mind that FAC and FLC might have differing requirements about where to put citations, but the reliability of sourcing should stay the same between the two processes.)
- What makes http://www.fchd.info//OXFORDU.HTM a reliable source?
- Likewise http://www.rageonline.co.uk/mainpage.php?type=fixture&season_id=112?

Hope this helps. Please note that I don't watchlist Peer Reviews I've done. If you have a question about something, you'll have to drop a note on my talk page to get my attention. (My watchlist is already WAY too long, adding peer reviews would make things much worse.) 22:16, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
