Quick comments from
Hey Chris, I'm a bit strapped for time but on first inspection, two things stood out...
 * You must use the en-dash between seasons.


 * There are an awful number of red linked top scorers, including Chris Pike, who played in the 90s, 1990s that is, so could easily have a page, albeit stubby, made for him.
 * D'oh - I initially worded my request above as "other than creating articles on the redlinked top scorers, is there anything I need to do" but then my machine crashed and when I typed it back in I forgot to put that bit in...... ChrisTheDude 12:14, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

I'll try to get back for more, soon! The Rambling Man 12:08, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Get rid of "each" for joint top scorers.


 * "center align" cup results.

More soon! The Rambling Man 13:09, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Nothing much to recommend really.
 * Not sure if you should include "of xth" in the position columns.


 * Colour needs changing to gold for the first season when they won the SL Div 2.
 * ✅ - made the change for that season and a couple of others

Thats about it! Mattythewhite 12:24, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

A few more comments.
 * There isn't really a need for "each" for multiple goalscorers.


 * Having the recent season is going to need updating a lot. Wouldn't have it personally.

Hope these help. Mattythewhite 13:07, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

 * 1923-24's got a big hole in it! and on that note, it might be an idea to proof-read the rest of it, when you've got nothing better to do.


 * do all the years mentioned in the lead section need to be linked to yyyy in football?
 * in previous PRs I've been advised that they should be......
 * is the reader really going to want to look at what else happened in football in 1913 just because your lot changed their name from New Brompton? in my opinion, just because you can link to something vaguely relevant doesn't necessarily mean you should, but if precedent says otherwise...


 * 2006-07 has round R1SE of the FLT, what's that?
 * ✅ -see the key


 * in the footnotes, you could wikilink things like Test match, Goal difference the first time they occur. Also, some notes have full stops at the ends and some don't. Though as it's only me that ever reads footnotes, it's not that important ;-)


 * New Brompton@fchd is listed twice in the references section.


 * I wouldn't bother with the slashes separating joint leading scorers, but that's just personal taste.


 * you might want to note any goalscoring records, messrs Morgan and Yeo's 31s perhaps?

that'll do for now, hope some of it helps, Struway2 16:17, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm glad you bolded the changes of division, it's an additional help for those of us that have accessibility issues with some of the colour-coding.


 * one more question, seeing as it's been mentioned below. The 1945-46 Kent League season, was that the post-war resumption of the normal Kent League or was it a wartime version? if the latter, following the time-honoured tradition of putting 45-6 in because we happened to win something, should you note it accordingly? or for that matter, if the former, should you explain why your first team were in it?
 * RSSSF certainly considers this season to be the normal resumption of the league after the war, whereas 1944-45, when the Gills also won the Kent League according to Roger Triggs' book, is considered a wartime version, hence I have not included it in this article (even though we won the league - hurrah! :-) ). As to why the Gills' first team played in the KL for one season, no source I've found gives any explanation.  At first I thought it might have been because the Southern League didn't re-start till the following season, but when I checked I found that the SL did in fact take place that year, so in a nutshell I haven't got a clue :-) ChrisTheDude 09:47, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

List's looking nice now. cheers, Struway2 09:38, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Good work on my very raw data.

I was a little disappointed to see the "of 24" etc info removed: coming 20th in SL Div 1 in 1908 was very different from coming 21st in 2004.

IIRC, there was a spell (presumably early Southern League days) when the club was playing in the Kent League as well as the "main" division: I took the liberty of treating the Kent league as if it were the reserve team's division, but maybe that should be checked.


 * Yes, that is definitely the case, in fact the club fielded reserve teams in the Kent League until 1959 - see FCHD. The only season in which the first team played in the KL was 1945-46 ChrisTheDude 07:45, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Is there a consensus across these pages that the current season should not be shown? Kevin McE 07:42, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * There does seem to be, certainly the ones that have made it to FL haven't included it..... ChrisTheDude 07:48, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Just a quick note. According to WP:MOS, words in boldface for the repeated title, shouldn't be linked, in favour of linking the next time it appears. Peanut4 02:46, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
