Comments

  • "the 1989–90 season" put "season" inside the pipe. Check all instances of this.
  • Link "replay".
  • Actually, I don't think the Bristol Rovers game belongs in the lead, background only.
  • "talisman" POV, some people might think that's a position on the pitch....!
  • "Earle was the hero once again" again, tone issues, stick to the facts.
  • Lead should note that the final was thus won 2-1 on agg.
  • Link header.
  • Link Vale and Rovers again in the Route to the final sec.
  • "clubs had only lost ten" only each lost ORR clubs had lost just ten games each...
  • Link cross.
  • Link pitch invasion.
  • Link MP but re-jig that sentence so it's not a sea of blue.
  • "but no enquiry was made" but none was made.
  • Link penalty.
  • Link aggregate.
  • I normally put the dates of the play-off semi-finals in there.
  • "a place Bristol Rovers had called their home ground since" -> "where BR had played their home matches since"
  • ""Fulham's record of conceding a further 16 goals than Bristol Rovers over the course of the season showed and the Bristol team went through in emphatic style" bit commentator-ish, and not much detail on the goals.
  • Does ref 8 really cite the whole para preceding it?
  • "the referee for " link referee first time, but I would add this info into the match summaries right than jam them both together in the background section.
  • "John Jeffers missed" overlinked.
  • "on the 30th-minute" in the 30th minute
  • "Darren Beckford" no need for first name after first mention.
  • Link corner kick. The first time....
  • Should ref 12 and ref 2 have the same work?
  • Is that all that's available (to you) on the matches? I can help with Guardian/British Newspaper Archive/Gale if required.
  • Not much on the Bristol Rovers team selections...
  • "1 – 1" unspaced en-dash.
  • "recovered excellently from the" remove "excellently".
  • "Vale lasted in " remained.
  • "last-place" no hyphen.
  • "Martyn would go on" went on
  • Can you replace the table sources all with 11v11 so we have no issues over RS?

That's enough for a first pass, on hold. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 17:51, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • ... that Robbie Earle was appointed an MBE ten years after scoring an "MBE" in a play-off final? (Source "Vale got the breakthrough seven minutes into the second half - through the tried and trusted “MBE” method. Mills took a corner, Beckford flicked it on and Earle came roaring in to head the ball into the net. It was his 19th goal of the season and certainly the most important - but also the fourth headed goal he had scored against Rovers in four games that season" & Source "Wimbledon captain Robbie Earle was also awarded an MBE.")
  • ... that Bristol Rovers were reported to have reached a 1989 play-off final "against every apparent law of logic"?[1]
  • ... Simon Mills had to postpone his honeymoon to play in the 1989 Third Division play-off final?[2]

  • Substantial article, meeting of GA criteria implicates DYK pass. Article was nominated within 7 days of passing GA. QPQ has been completed. No pings on Earwigs for copyvio or close paraphrasing. The hook feels a bit esoteric; the pun requires too much existing knowledge of the source material to make sense at first read. I think an alt hook or hooks are needed here.

I have added a couple more hooks for your consideration. thanks.EchetusXe 15:58, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Approved for both alt hooks, though I think the latter is the most interesting. Morgan695 (talk) 23:35, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
