Stan's World Cup Song

 * ... that in "Stan's World Cup Song", "the Germans bombed our chippy"?
 * ALT1:... that England players allegedly sang "Aye Aye Ippy The Germans Bombed Our Chippy" despite the FA not wanting to support any anti-German songs?

 * Long enough, new enough, looks good to me except I think more context as to what the song is about, who Stan Boardman is, and (perhaps most importantly) what a chippy is should be added before this goes to DYK. Jinkinson   talk to me  01:44, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I was aiming to be hooky by leaving out those details, if people was to know they can always click to find out. I have linked chippy to fish and chip shop.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 07:34, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok, I guess that makes sense. Looks Symbol confirmed.svg ready to me now. Jinkinson   talk to me  12:09, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Besides "long enough, new enough, looks good to me", this review needs more details, in accordance with DYK review instructions. Details that are supposed to be checked in a review can be found at DYK Reviewing guide. I'm returning this to the main queue until a full DYK review is done. Yoninah (talk) 22:42, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Right then. So in addition to being new and long enough, as mentioned above, the third criterion is that it must be within policy, which means it should be:
 * free of copyvios, which it apparently is.
 * cited with inline citations, which, again, is clearly the case for this article.
 * neutral, which this article is because it includes both positive (i.e. by the football players) and negative reception of the song.
 * The hook must be:
 * interesting, which, as per nom's attempt to be vague/"hooky" to lure people into clicking on it, this article is.
 * The hook must also be cited in the article, which it is (in the first reference). Jinkinson   talk to me  01:19, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Thank you. Which hook are you approving? If ALT1, there needs to be a cite right after that sentence. Yoninah (talk) 09:30, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I have added that source after the hook for alt1.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 10:30, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg I reviewed the sources and did not find close paraphrasing. However, the ALT1 hook source does not say that the Football Association was against the song because it was "pro-war", but because it was "anti-German". Also, FA should be spelled out or at least linked in the hook so it's clear who you're talking about (not being a sports fan, I read it "FAA"). Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 20:27, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I've changed it.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 20:53, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks. I shortened and linked the FA to trim it down. Hook ref verified and cited inline. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 20:58, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Moving back to June 14 queue. Yoninah (talk) 20:58, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
