FA concerns[edit]

This older Featured Article ~~has not been reviewed since its promotion in 2007, and the article~~ needs an update to meet the current FA criteria. Issues:

There is a lot of unsourced content here. FAs are "supported by inline citations where appropriate";
Many of the citations do not cover the full preceding claims;
The prose needs work, for instance:

in the Hosting section, we go from the early 2000's to 2013, to 1975 and then again to the early 2000's. There are also repeated facts there (the Finals being held at the Friends Arena);
Since the wildcards' introduction, three have won the competition. In 2011 there were 15 wildcards. The wildcard system was discontinued in 2013. - is it going or is it discontinued?;

Considering that this is an annual event, it's concerning that the most recent source is from 2012.

Article needs work. RetiredDuke (talk) 20:30, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that it needs work, I'll also see if I can add some sources this week. However I did notice that it was peer reviewed a year ago. ―JochemvanHees (talk) 20:37, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That is correct, it wasn't in the article history so I missed it. RetiredDuke (talk) 13:25, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
