 * GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

I have started the review, will look at the references soon. If you have any queries or questions about any of the points raised below let me know. AIR corn (talk) 12:47, 28 September 2011 (UTC)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * Prose generally good. Layout nice. Apart from a few suggestions in the comments I would combine the two paragraphs in the stadium section.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * I am a little uncomfortable with the current squad sections as it would only take someone not updating the article to make it factually inaccurate. However they appear in other good articles so it should be alright. I will check the references tomorrow, out of time tonight.
 * Happy with references. AIR corn (talk) 07:59, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * Covers everything other good football articles have. Only been around for a short time so not that much information available. Would be interested in what occurred prior to 1994. The Andorra all time record against all nation and Internaltional goals sections would work better as a separate list.
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * Maybe a little bit more info about their one competitive win to balance out their losses.
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * Good
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * One image with acceptable fair use rational provided.
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:

Comments

 * Since making their competitive bow, What does this mean?
 * I assume this means from their beginning; I changed the sentence accordingly. Strafpeloton2 (talk) 21:34, 1 October 2011 (UTC)


 * They have only ever won three matches all being at home, while only ever winning one competitive game being a 1–0 win against Macedonia in the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifying competition. Repetition
 * I changed this. Strafpeloton2 (talk) 21:34, 1 October 2011 (UTC)


 * allowing the team to participate in major championships. This appears tacked on and does not fit with any of the other clauses in the sentence.
 * I modified this sentence. Strafpeloton2 (talk) 21:34, 1 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Wikilink Andorra La Vella
 * Done. Strafpeloton2 (talk) 21:34, 1 October 2011 (UTC)


 * The opening match resulted in a 1–0 loss to Estonia. Where was this?
 * Their first and only away goal was against Ireland, but the team still lost 3–1 and also all of their matches. Run on sentence
 * Done. Strafpeloton2 (talk) 21:34, 1 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Winning their first competitive game being a 1–0 home win against Macedonia and drawing two matches, being a 0–0 in the return with the Macedonians and gaining a point with the same scoreline with Finland at home. Grammar
 * I added more about the win and broke up this sentence. Strafpeloton2 (talk) 21:34, 1 October 2011 (UTC)


 * For example, the 2008 European Championship and 2010 World Cup qualifiers against England, the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Barcelona and home of RCD Espanyol between 1997–2009 was used instead Grammar
 * Done. Strafpeloton2 (talk) 21:34, 1 October 2011 (UTC)


 * which is also joint bottom Redundant
 * Changed. Strafpeloton2 (talk) 21:34, 1 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Since the creation of the FIFA rankings in 1992, Andorra's average position has been 163rd. If they didn't form until 1994 shouldn't this be since 1994?
 * I changed this to 1996, when they first played games and appeared in the ratings. Strafpeloton2 (talk) 21:34, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

I helped with some of the comments above and did some other copyediting. I also added a picture of the stadium, because the page looked a little blank. Strafpeloton2 (talk) 21:34, 1 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Still not keen on the lists, but not enough to prevent this passing. AIR corn (talk) 07:59, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
