Outdated Information[edit]

Information in this article seems to be outdated and fails WP:FA?. Before nominating it for WP:FAR, I'd like to ask previous contributors @ChrisTheDude: to update the information, including:

History: no information since 2011-2012 season.
Statistics and records: no information since 2008-2009 season.
Current staff: seems to be updated but no source

Thanks, --Did you know... that you can talk to Dingruogu? 09:04, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Give me a week or so to update the article. To be honest I had forgotten all about this article...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:19, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

History section now updated. Nothing new to add to the statistics and records section (no new records have been set). -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:32, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And now the staff are up to date. I'll give the article a sweep for deadlinks, etc (there seem to be a few), but as far as I can see all the info is now up to date -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:41, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the updates. Now I'm fine with it. --Did you know... that you can talk to Dingruogu? 03:47, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

FA sweeps[edit]

ChrisTheDude, would you mind taking a look at a couple other items here?

Is there really no record of what exact years they won the Staffs league? The source doesn't give that detail, but also doesn't say it isn't known, and surely those things were recorded Done
What makes Ciderspace – The Independent Yeovil Town Fans Website a high-quality reliable source? Done
Current staff is stated to be as of January 2020. Has this been updated? Done
Is PyramidPassion.co a RS?
Are napoleonicmedals.org and civicheraldry.co reliable sources? I know the medals/heraldry arena is filled with self-published web source that aren't considered reliable for wikipedia purposes Done
Is Tony's English Football Site RS? Done
Can more up-to-date attendance numbers than the 16-17 season be provided? Done
It looks like they've had some transfers between divisions such as Division One South East and Division One North recently, should these be in the club history? Done
Maybe this is an eyesight thing for me, but the article says they use yellow away kits, but the infobox kit sure looks green to me.

Overall, this one looks like it is still in pretty good shape and shouldn't take too much to fix up. Hog Farm _Talk 22:01, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Hog Farm: - sure, I'll take a look over the Christmas period -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:21, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Hog Farm _Talk 14:05, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Hog Farm: - OK, I unexpectedly had a lot of spare time today, so I have addressed pretty much everything above. WRT Pyramid Passion, that site was run by David Bauckham, who has had several books published on non-League football grounds and has contributed to magazines including When Saturday Comes. Don't know if that's enough to pass WP:SPS. If not, I'll probably just have to delete the first paragraph of the Stadium section as I can't find an alternative source..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:24, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If he's written for magazines like that, I'd say it's probably fine. Hog Farm _Talk 15:27, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
