 * Added link. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 11:10, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not mad keen on (a) the coloured tables (b) the decorative icons (c) the lack of ACCESS consideration and (d) the auto-collapsed group tables.
 * I've removed the flags from the results, and also axed the group tables. Not sure what ACCESS issues you think there are here? &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 11:10, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Column scopes. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;) 15:05, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

 * The "report" link just redirects to the CAF homepage.
 * I've switched to using the BBC page. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * On that note, where are the formation indicated in the graphic noted/sourced?
 * The BBC page covers that thankfully. I made a small tweak to the positions of Bassogog and Moukandjo in the SVG file so they match. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * For consistency, all online refs need access-dates, e.g. ref 35.
 * Done. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * You have BBC Sport in the prose and BBC Sport in the refs.
 * This was a result of a CITE REPAIR job which took place a few days ago... I've switched the prose to italics to match.
 * And then oddly, Twitter (which is a website) appears non-italics, yet CNN which is a publisher is in italics... (and not linked).
 * Done. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I think Goal.com has an article.
 * Done. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Ref 7 vs Ref 41 both FIFA but formatted slightly differently.
 * Done. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Ref 10 AP is linked but ref 13 PA is not?
 * Done. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Ref 24 seems to mention DW four times, once is probably sufficient.
 * Done. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Ref 26 I think you might have been the person to ask why I had .com after 11v11...
 * Quite possibly. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Ref 35 link publisher for consistency.
 * Done. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Ref 39 pretty sure VOA has an article.
 * If you say so. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * The ext link is the CAF homepage again, not the Africa Cup of Nations site.
 * I've removed it. CAF evidently aren't interested in keeping home pages for bygone tournaments. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * just checking you saw these additional remarks...? The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;) 13:46, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ah, I did not. Many thanks, will get on to those shortly. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 13:48, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I have looked at all of them so far. CHeers &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 15:56, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
