D.C. United
This peer review discussion has been closed. We brought the article up to GA status this summer, and are looking for more areas of the text that could use some help. I'm particularly interested in feedback regarding the tables and lists, and on places that need more references. Best-- Patrick {o Ѻ ∞} 20:20, 22 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Good article, but maybe a little more explanations would be helpful, such as the History section. For example, the caption to the image says "D.C. United won the 2004 Eastern Conference championship in what has been called one of the best games in MLS history" --- By who???...Also "Since 2006, United has played well against international competition, beating Scottish champions Celtic F.C. and tying Real Madrid in Seattle. In addition, the 2006 MLS All-Star Team, which included seven United players and was managed by United's manager Piotr Nowak, defeated English champions Chelsea" This should indicate that these are exhibition games. Later, "play by play" and "color commentary" should be Wikilinked (color commentator is Wikilinked later in the paragraph) as the average reader in non-US countries would not know what these are. I'm not sure what "Certain home matches" and "Select matches" are specifically? Does this need further explanation?  Overall good work in the article...well done and best of luck for FAC later.

Things that came up in the Seattle Sounders FC and Qwest Field peer reviews that seem to apply here as well: Overall, this article is well referenced has good coverage of the subject. Good work! --SkotyWATalk|Contribs 23:49, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Per WP:LEADCITE the lead section should not require footnoted references since it should only be a summary of information listed in the body.
 * List of seasons should be moved to a separate article and linked to from here
 * Based on a brief look at other WP:FA club articles listed in WP:FOOTY it looks like the "Statistics and Records" section may also need to be split out.
