It is reasonably well written.

a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.

Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
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):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

"The top three teams of the 2003–04 Third Division season, Doncaster Rovers, Hull City and Torquay United, gained automatic promotion to the Championship, while the teams placed from fourth to seventh place in the table took part in play-offs." - repetition of "teams"
"Huddersfield's next season saw them finish in ninth place in the Second Division, three positions and one point below the play-offs. Mansfield ended their following season in thirteenth position in the Third Division." - shouldn't the divisions be reworded since they were renamed for the 2004/05 season

"Mansfield Town faced Northampton Town in their play-off semi-final with the first match of the two-legged tie taking place at Sixfields in Northampton on 16 May 2004." - will need verifying with another source since BBC Sport does not mention Sixfields as the stadium this match was played
Foul might be better off wikilinked to the appropriate article for non-Football readers
Pass can also be wikilinked to the right article only on the first mention
"Thirty seconds into the second half, Smith then made it 3–0 after Trollope capitalised on a misplaced pass from Wayne Corden." - not sure the word in bold is needed here
Think the term "penalties" on its own can be wikilinked in this section
"Huddersfield Town's opposition for their semi-final were Lincoln City and the first leg was held at Sincil Bank in Lincoln on 15 May 2004." - same query as the first one in this section

"Huddersfield were considered favourites to win match according to the Racing Post." - there a word missing from this sentence

I think the term "tackle" can also be wikilinked to the correct article
" before both D'Jaffo and Corden missed opportunities at the other end of the pitch." - missed opportunities for what exactly?
"Lee Fowler scored Huddersfield's fourth penalty to secure a 4–1 victory for Huddersfield and promotion to the Second Division." - repetition of "Huddersfield"

"Huddersfield's next season saw them finish in ninth place in the Second Division, three positions and one point below the play-offs. Mansfield ended their following season in thirteenth position in the Third Division." - same query as the second point in the lead section

Reference 2 "Spot-on Huddersfield earn instant return; Nationwide League." is missing the page number which can be found at the bottom of the source
Reference 7 "Huddersfield 2–2 Lincoln" is missing the publisher

Am putting the review on hold to allow the nominator to address or query each of the points raised in this review MWright96 (talk) 08:37, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
