Scotland national football team
Seems to me to be a good, detailed, well referenced article. What sort of improvements need made to attain GA/FA status? Archibald99  23:19, 14 April 2007 (UTC) Hopefully some of that helps... The Rambling Man 16:24, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment A very good article, but a few comments nevertheless.
 * 1) There is some info in the lead (e.g. the result of the first international) that isn't in the main part of the article. I believe WP:LEAD frowns upon this.  I'd check all info in the lead is either in the main article, or moved if it's very detailed (e.g. the score, or goalscorers)
 * 2) How did Scotland fare in the British Home Championship?
 * 3) Could wikilink 1954 to 1954 FIFA World Cup.
 * 4) Citations needed - the History section up to 1998 has only one citation, should be easy to find them. Also, is it possible to provide citations for Scotland's highest (& lowest) Elo & FIFA rankings?
 * 5) "1970s generally considered...", "...is generally regarded as the best goal..." - weasal words, cite or lose.
 * 6) Many one sentence paragraphs towards the modern era in History section.
 * 7) Tables look untidy, perhaps consider central justification within the article, they're awfully blank as well, although I understand it's because they didn't qualify. Perhaps it's not the best way to present this information, but right now I can't think of another way, maybe removing the blanks would help...
 * 8) Stadium section lacks citations, and supporters section has but one, it needs more (e.g. "...were also named the World's Friendliest Fans during the 1998 World Cup..." needs citation)
 * 9) Players section - put (c) for captain next to Ferguson in table and remove manager - that's stated in the infobox.
 * 10) What makes the players "noted"? In most FA football team articles, a fork is created to handle lists of players with justification as to why they were noted (e.g. 50 appearances, 50 goals, crucial contributions).
 * 11) Remove the recent results section, just leave the link to the results fork.
