List of issues
Mostly minor, so put here to avoid cluttering up the FAC page.
 * "Most successful club in Sweden" needs some kind of qualifier. In terms of league titles won? Total trophies won?
 * "As of 2010" is usually helpful, but to see it twice in as many sentences in the lead is a little jarring.
 * "Many started to believe that the club's first Swedish Championship was close" - an example of weasel wording.
 * "The rivalry between Malmö FF and Helsingborgs IF has existed since Malmö FF were promoted up to Allsvenskan in the 1930s, and has a geographical element" - if it is one of several elements, what are the others? If it is primarily geographic, say so directly.
 * "Following the 2004 victory in Allsvenskan,[48] voices were raised for the construction of a new stadium in Malmö" Presumably a translation issue. "Voices were raised" doesn't make much sense.
 * As a rule of thumb, staff members who are not notable enough for their own article should not be listed. The kit man and masseur are not important.
 * IMDB is not generally used as a source (WP:IMDB) Oldelpaso (talk) 21:52, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
 * All issues fixed. --Reckless182 (talk) 06:29, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

A couple more:
 * In 2005 the club were one match away from qualifying for the UEFA Champions League but suffered a shock defeat against FC Thun. Why was this regarded as a shock? Swedish clubs have rarely reached the group stages in the 21st century, and Thun were higher in the UEFA rankings at the time.
 * Agree, this is leaning towards POV. Reworded to In 2005 the club reached the last qualifying round for the UEFA Champions League but were defeated by FC Thun. Is this better? --Reckless182 (talk) 21:04, 10 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Why is there a partial list of seasons? This seems like recentism. Oldelpaso (talk) 19:29, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I think its a good illustration of the clubs recent history but you might be correct. I did a quick check and couldn't find a football club FA with something simular. Should I remove and wikilink to List of Malmö FF seasons somewhere else in the article instead? --Reckless182 (talk) 21:04, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, that would be my advice. Oldelpaso (talk) 23:34, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Done! were you happy with the sentence above? --Reckless182 (talk) 15:57, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
