This review is transcluded from Talk:1985 Wales vs Scotland football match/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:

This is my first GA review so it might not be the best but from what I read It is overall good, however there are some issues I think need to be addressed.

  • What makes "11vs11.com" a reliable source?
  • What makes Source 2 reliable?
  • The mention that the England-Scotland games would continue needs a source
  • The last paragraph of the Home Internationals section should be reworded as it looks like an opinion
  • In the next section, the part where it says the Spain-Iceland match was later needs a source
  • No need to link FAW when you've already linked Football Association of Wales earlier
  • Stadia should be changed to stadiums.
  • Sources 7 and 8 fall foul of WP:WINARS and should be changed.
  • SFA should not be an anacronym for the first reference to it
  • The referee section should be rewritten as calling the ref "overtly strict" is not neutral
  • Source 22 is not reliable as it is made of user generated content (and calling the person they are writing about as "arrogant" on the first word is definatly not a neutral observation.)
  • Is having a picture of myopia really nessecary? It doesn't seem to add that much.
  • Alex Ferguson should be linked when he is first mentioned
  • The part in the second half section about Davie Cooper should be rewritten as it violated WP:PEA
  • The paragraph where Stein collapses and is taken to the medical room should be sourced
  • The last paragraph of the aftermath should be changed to something along the lines of "Because Stein had stopped taking......"
  • the multiple linked Alex Fergusons should be delinked after the first link mention
  • The second to last sentence in the first paragraph on the Wales section is non-neutral and should be rewritten.
  • What make sources 34 and 35 reliable?
  • Source 37 should say SFA

Other than those, it fulfills the critera and I'll happily take another look when the above are rectified. The C of E. God Save The Queen! (talk) 17:41, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Welsh home venues in aftermath section

[edit]

I am not sure that the bit in the aftermath section about "Welsh home venues" is really relevant to this article. The changes it covers do not seem to be a direct consequence of this match and I fail to see how the section covering stadiums used by the Welsh national team between 2000 and 2013 relates to this article. I think there is a case for pulling this section, or at the very least severely reducing it. Dunarc (talk) 22:56, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
