Nominator(s): WA8MTWAYC (talk) 07:05, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Another list I'm nominating about association football club Burnley F.C.. Every season the club has played is presented in a statistical manner, including division, cup competitions, other competitions, top scorers and avg. attendance. Other similar FL were used as a benchmark. I'm looking forward to all feedback/reviews. WA8MTWAYC (talk) 07:05, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:28, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
;Comments on the lead
  • You flit back and forth between referring to the club in the singular and the plural
  • "first-ever match" => "first match"
  • Presumably you/someone else intend to update that graph each season........?
    • The uploader has updated the graph until last season (2019–20). If it becomes outdated, I'll replace it with a nice old team photo. WA8MTWAYC (talk) 08:33, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Think that's it on the lead, I will look at the table later -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:00, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
First comment on the table
  • Where there are two rows of header (e.g. the top scorers), they are currently the wrong way round. They should look like they do on this article -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:50, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Oh jeez that's quite sloppy.. I didn't even notice. Thank you. It's fixed now. WA8MTWAYC (talk) 17:19, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comments on the table and notes
  • Nothing on the table itself
  • Note F should not have a comma after competitions
  • Note N: "which unsurprisingly is what happened" doesn't seem very neutral
  • Notes P and Q need full stops
  • Note R - "but Freeman did now only score once" reads very oddly
  • Note U needs a full stop
  • So do notes AE, AG, AH and AO
  • And AY and AZ
  • Conversely note BA should not have one
  • Think that's it -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:39, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thank you very much for taking a look at this, Chris. I've addressed all your points. If there's anything else, please let me know. WA8MTWAYC (talk) 21:03, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Source review - Pass[edit]

Doing now Aza24 (talk) 19:32, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ref 37 missing retrieval date
  • That's all I got, pass for source review since this isn't enough to not warrant one. Do add a retrieval date for that one when you get a chance though. Aza24 (talk) 19:51, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Aza24 Thank you for again taking up the source review, it's much appreciated! I added an access date to ref 37. WA8MTWAYC (talk) 07:02, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from TRM[edit]

  • " first match on 10 August." add year, shouldn't assume the first match occurred in the same year as the foundation.
    Done. WA8MTWAYC (talk) 09:45, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • "there was no league football," link league football.
    Done; relocated the wikilink that was further down the prose. WA8MTWAYC (talk) 09:45, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • "the Burnley area.[3] Burnley turned" repetitive.
    Reworded. WA8MTWAYC (talk) 09:45, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The team have played in one of the four professional levels of English football from 1888 to the present day" odd phrasing for me, I guess what you're saying is that the club has played professionally since 1888? Or "in the top four tiers of English football".
    I meant the latter, changed now. WA8MTWAYC (talk) 09:45, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Burnley are one of only five teams (and were the second) to have " I'd have that the other way round, i.e. "Burnley were the second, and one of only five ever..." or similar.
    Done. WA8MTWAYC (talk) 09:45, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • "As at the end" to my ear, this should be "As of the end..." BritEng.
    Done. WA8MTWAYC (talk) 09:45, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • " 57 seasons in the top division of English football, 46 in the second, 11 in the third, and seven " 7
    Amended. WA8MTWAYC (talk) 09:45, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ave attend -> Ave. attend.
    Done. WA8MTWAYC (talk) 09:45, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorting the table by goals has three different outcomes which is weird.
    There are indeed three outcomes when sorting the stats in the table: 1) By order of season (from earliest to latest), 2) From high to low, 3) From low to high. But isn't that the right way? Readers can see the stats from both sides (2 and 3), and can return to the default setting (1), so there are only two "new" sortings. Looking at other similar lists, they all have three different outcomes when sorting the table. WA8MTWAYC (talk) 09:45, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • In fact sorting by any heading apart from Season seems to have three outcomes. What's the deal?
    See above. WA8MTWAYC (talk) 09:45, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • What does italics mean in the table? And is that MOS:ACCESS?
    Added the needed information in the key section. WA8MTWAYC (talk) 09:45, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's a real quick pass, sorry but it's getting late. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 23:31, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Rambling Man Thank you for taking a look and for reviewing in the late evening! I've amended and responded to the points above. WA8MTWAYC (talk) 09:45, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
