GA review[edit]

This article is very well-written. The first thing that comes to mind when looking at the text, though, is confusion about the stadium's name. Is it "Crabble Stadium" (like the article title) or "The Crabble Stadium" (as seen in the first line of text)?

Fixed - the official name according to the club is simply "Crabble Stadium"

I did some copyediting, and I just have a few minor concerns:

1. The second sentence of the lead paragraph should probably be split into two sentences. The lead is also a little short and could use another sentence or two. It should summarize all of the main points of the article, so I'm sure it should be easy to add another line or so.

Done

2. In the first paragraph of the "History" section, some clarification would help for "council". Is this a city council? If so, a wikilink should be added.

Done

3. From the second sentence of the "Structure and facilities" section, what is a touchline?

It's the white line that makes the boundary of the field of play. I've rewritten and wikilinked accordingly

4. Is there anything else notable about the stadium? Is it used for concerts or other attractions? Does it have any defining characteristics?

I've added in mention of a couple of unusual characteristics of the stadium. The stadium isn't used for any other events that I know of, and there's certainly never been a concert there. Like you say, sometimes there isn't much to say..........

Overall, the article is very close to GA level. It's fairly brief, and it would be nice to have more information. Sometimes, though, there isn't much more to say. The prose is great, and the article complies with the Manual of Style. The pictures add to the article, and there are no stability or neutrality problems. I will put the article on hold to give you a chance to respond to my concerns here. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan (talk) 03:17, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All points addressed, I believe. I hope it's to your satisfaction ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:41, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the phrasing of the final sentence of the first paragraph in the "Structure and facilities" to avoid repeating the word "unusual" so close together. If you are not happy with the phrasing, please feel free to change it. I won't be offended.

I am satisfied that the coverage is sufficiently broad. The article is fairly short, but I haven't been able to find anything that isn't already included in the article. The references are appropriate, reliable, and properly formatted. The writing, as I said before, is excellent. There are no neutrality or stability issues. The images add to the article, and I don't see any problems with them.

With that said, this GAN has passed, and this is now a good article! If you found this review helpful, please consider helping out a fellow editor by reviewing another good article nomination (preferably from the "Sports and recreation" category, if possible, as there is a large backlog). Help and advice on how to do so is available at Wikipedia:Reviewing good articles, and you can ask for the help of a GAN mentor, if you wish.
