Lead

 * "The top three teams of the 2015–16 Football League Two season gained automatic promotion to League One, while the teams placed from fourth to seventh" - repetition of "teams"
 * Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;) 12:56, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Wikilink the sole use of the term corner in the lede to the correct article
 * Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;) 12:56, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * "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." - same issue as above
 * Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;) 12:56, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Route to the final

 * "Plymouth Argyle finished the regular 2015–16 season in fifth place in Football League Two, the fourth tier of the English football league system, two places ahead of AFC Wimbledon." - repetition of "place"
 * Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;) 12:56, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Wikilink the term fouled to the article Fouls and misconduct (association football) on the first mention
 * Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;) 12:56, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * "On 19 minutes, Matt then put Plymouth" - is the word "then" really needed here?
 * Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;) 12:56, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Should the mention of the floodlight failure halting the second leg of the first play-off semi-final between Accrington Stanley and AFC Wimbledon be mentioned?
 * Not sure it had any impact the result so not really. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;) 12:56, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * "The match ended 1–0 giving Plymouth a 3–2 aggregate win and progression to Wembley." - think a more formal phrase can be used in place of the text in bold
 * Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;) 12:56, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Background

 * "Plymouth had won the league match at Kingsmeadow in September 2015," - 11v11 says it was August not September
 * Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;) 12:56, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * "with match highlights on Channel 5." - the wording of this text is close to the EFL source that verifies this
 * Ok, reworded (although it's mostly pure factual so it's not really an issue). The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;) 12:56, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Summary

 * Wikilink volley to the appropriate article
 * Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;) 12:56, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * "whose first action was to help win a corner for Wimbledon, from which Taylor scored with a low shot past McCormick." - shouldn't there be a mention that the goal was scored on 78 minutes as stated in the BBC Sport reference?
 * Kind of implied a timeframe from saying it was Akinfenwa's first action after coming on in the 77th minute, but okay. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;) 12:56, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Post-match
Shall place the review on hold to allow the nominator to address or query the points raised above MWright96 (talk) 09:54, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * "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!&#33;!&#33;) 12:56, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * "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!&#33;!&#33;) 12:56, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * thanks very much for the review, I believe I've addressed most of your concerns, and responded to everything above. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;)
