 * Might as well go ahead and finish the series for you. Give me a couple hours or so. Courcelles (talk) 18:09, 31 January 2018 (UTC)


 * "the competition's inaugural edition was attended by over 110,000 people across the two days.[3]" Much like in the other review, I don't see the relevance of this.
 * "Portuguese outfit" Outfit means something entirely different to these American ears...
 * "The only goal of the game was scored by Felipe Melo," Who played for which team?
 * "The score ended 1–0;" I've read this paragraph a few times.  It's totally unclear who won the game.
 * Talk about the matches in chronological order. This way is just confusing.
 * It's a summary of a pre-season tournament. IMO, there isn't a right or wrong way to go about reporting the action. The reason I changed it up was because I couldn't find differing/interesting info about the games, and when I wrote the summaries for the other cup editions it was tiring, repeating the same structure. Nevertheless, have tweaked this. Lemonade51 (talk) 21:23, 31 January 2018 (UTC)


 * "Yaya Sanogo was handed a chance to play up front for Arsenal" Handed?  Kind of informal and meaningless.
 * "who made a mess of a chance in the 18th minute" Very informal language here.
 * What makes ref 5 reliable?
 * Hürriyet Daily News is Turkey's oldest English-language daily. According to their website, they are a nationwide daily. Have been sourced in many other publications like the NYT. Lemonade51 (talk) 21:23, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
 * in your tweaks, what was ref 5 in the reviewed version is now ref 4, Sport in the box. Courcelles (talk) 21:29, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

That's all for me. Courcelles (talk) 18:19, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Whoops, have removed this as I can't find any WP:RS, even on the BT website that explicitly states they (will/had) broadcast the event. Lemonade51 (talk) 21:54, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi thanks for taking this on. Have made corrections, hopefully to your liking. :) Lemonade51 (talk) 21:23, 31 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Looks good, promoting to GA. Courcelles (talk) 19:49, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
