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 may 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[edit]

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. -

Prose[edit]

Lede[edit]

Southend United and York City were the losing semi-finalists - I feel this could just be expanded to say who defeated who in the semis, rather than just name drop the remaining teams. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:39, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Expanded. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 16:08, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The match ended 1–0 to Fleetwood who were promoted to the third tier of English football for the first time in their history.- should have a comma in here somewhere. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:39, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Added comma. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 16:08, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Could we get a short description? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:32, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 16:08, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

General[edit]

regular 2013–14 season - I know the media does use this terminology, but it is a bit American to say the "regular season", I prefer "Fleetwood Town finished the 2013–14 season at fourth place in the Football League Two league table" which I think reiterates that whilst the season is still going on, they finished in fourth place in the table, which is true before and after the playoffs Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:41, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, reliable sources use "regular season" too, because goals etc scored in play-offs is not considered part of the season. These are usually listed in "others" for appearances and goals. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 16:08, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
play-offs pipes to a redirect Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:31, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Linked to specific play-off article. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 16:15, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Burton upon Trent on 11 May 2014. - I'm a bit anal about specific dates being sourced, I'm sure it's covered in one of the preceding refs, could we cite this specifically? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:31, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The reference used has "Fixtures" on the right-hand side and lists the game under Sunday 11th May 2014, I think that's more than adequate. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 16:15, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
is there a suitable link for "waterlogged"? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:31, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Not that I'm aware of, it's just a dictionary definition. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 16:15, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
participated in the play-offs prior to the 2014 final when they took part in the previous year's play-offs. - could we reword to avoid the repetition of play-off? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:31, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Reworked. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 16:15, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
which ended in a 0–0 draw with Kidderminster Harriers. - so, was this a penalty shootout or replay? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:31, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Well it went to a replay not at the national stadium so I didn't think it was pertinent to this specific article. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 16:15, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I had no idea that was a thing. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 16:35, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think the glaring issue with the article is the lack of comments from players/managers after the match - if we could have a paragraph about post-match for this, I' be happy. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:31, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Added. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 16:15, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

... that Billy Kee played in the 2014 Football League Two play-off Final while his wife was in labour?
- ALT1:... that Billy Kee was going to include "Wembley" in the name of his child who was being born during the 2014 Football League Two play-off Final if he scored?

5x expanded by The Rambling Man (talk). Self-nominated at 11:08, 28 January 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Hi The Rambling Man, review follows: article massively expanded from 27 January; article is well written and looks to be well sourced (I'm not massively knowledgeable on football databases but I have seen these ones used elsewhere and they look reliable); I didn't pick up any overly close paraphrasing from a random spotcheck; hooks are mentioned in the article and backed up by the sources cited, both are interesting but I prefer ALT0 as the snappier of the two. This just needs a QPQ and it'll be good to go - Dumelow (talk) 15:38, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
