Talk:1901 FA Cup final

Favourites
This article states that Tottenham Hotspur were considered overwhelming favourites to win the cup. This statement is not supported by any of the press of the time {in fact the opposite is the case, most regarding United as overwhelming favourites due to their league status} Could the writer source where this information was found?

Hi 1901 FA Cup fans.I started the article with information from a cigarette card.The writer was probably a Spurs supporter.Shall we delete that part of the article?Northmetpit 10:14, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Hiya, good job on updating the article, but the second two lead paragraphs seem to be repeated in the background section, I feel it's best to try not repeat the same information you just read. Cheers. Govvy (talk) 14:24, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * The lead is intended to summarise the narrative, per MOS:LEAD, so it's inevitable that there will be some degree of lead content repetition throughout the narrative. The same structure has been used in the 1900, 1902 and 1903 articles. I'm hoping there'll be much more content to come so it will be a day or two before this one can go to GAN. Thanks.

 * I didn't get the ISBN change, that longer number is no where on my book. :/ Also, you're not suppose to using headings for single paragraphs. It's kinda bad form. Govvy (talk) 15:43, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * As regards the headings, there is no rule on that, especially as these are tier four headings. As you can see, the article is being expanded (5x since yesterday) and I'm hoping that quite a lot more information will be added. When I have finished the expansion, I will consider the structure which, for now, is the same as in the 1900, 1902 and 1903 articles. It would be best to wait and see what the article looks like when construction is complete and then any polishing and fine-tuning can be done. No Great Shaker (talk) 16:31, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
