  • The article went from 797 characters to 8,144 by my count and it appears to be well-formatted and well-written, and the QPQ review has been completed. The blurbs are interesting enough, but I don't love the grammar of ALT1; did you mean to write that blurb as "for a sixth time in fourteen years"? Unfortunately, I can't give a check mark yet because the first paragraph of the background section is completely unreferenced. The supplemental guidelines call for at least one cite per paragraph, which should just about be sufficient for the one in question if the right source can be found. Consider it a pre-GAN cleanup, since a future GA reviewer is likely going to bring that up. Anyway, the hook fact is supported by the source, and the others I checked (the other usage of ref 12 and refs 5 and 9) adequately backed the content with no close paraphrasing, so that paragraph is my only issue.

Summary[edit]

Post-match[edit]

  • "The scorer of Wimbledon's second goal, Akinfenwa revealed shortly after the end of the game that he had been released by the club and that he was looking for a new club." - repetition of "club"
    Adjusted. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 12:56, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Wimbledon ended their following season in fifteenth place in the League One table, while Plymouth finished the next season in second place to gain automatic promotion to League One for the 2017–18 season." - repetiton of both "place" and "season"
    Split to two sentences as there's really no other word for "season" (apart from "campaign" really and that's usually frowned upon in these parts). But second "place" replaced with "position". The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 12:56, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
