Comments[edit]
1a - the prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct[edit]
Lead[edit]
- At the end of the first paragraph you basically say the same thing twice by writing: ...ran out winners after 120 goalless minutes... and ...after neither side managed to score in normal and extra time. This needs to be reworded.
- Done
- Link Penalty shoot-out (association football) in first paragraph as that is where the reader will come across the term first.
- Done
- Link Extra-time per above.
- Done
- ...won 5–4; Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes saw... reword to ...won 5–4 after Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes saw...
- Done
- It isn't good to link to a page with a year as the piped text. "1996" could refer to anything. A way to get around this would be to write: ...game in Cup history since the 1996 edition.
- Done
Route to the Final[edit]
- ...drawn randomly out of a hat with the remaining.... Is it really drawn out of a hat?
- Done
- ...were away for the first game.... Reword to were the away team for the first game for clarity.
- Done
Arsenal[edit]
- As both Arsenal and Manchester United were Premier League clubs, they entered the competition in the third round. Remove sentence as unnecessary.
- Done
- ...but hit the ball over from six yards. 6 yards needs a metre conversion for us metric folk.
- Done
Pre-match[edit]
- ...2004–05 season. Link should be ...2004–05 season.
- Done
- ...of Manchester United in the league... "League" should be linked to 2004–05 FA Premier League.
- Done
- ...of a unique Treble,... No need for "Treble" to be capitalised.
- ..most recently against Southampton in 2003. A bit like point 5 in the lead section; the link should be in the 2003 final
- Done
- ...constitutes the Texas Chain Saw Massacre, does it. Link "Texas Chain Sae Massacre" to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
- Done
First half[edit]
- ...but the assistant referee ruled... Link "assistant referee" to Assistant referee (association football)
- Done
Second half[edit]
- ...past the Cameroonian full-back... Link "Cameroonian" to Cameroon
- Not done This would be a violation of WP:OVERLINK, in my opinion. – PeeJay 15:58, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
- ...broke to the United captain... Link "captain" to Captain (association football)
- Done
Extra time[edit]
- ...awarded for a soft foul by Silvestre... Remove the term "soft" as we can't determine what a "soft" foul is.
- Done
Post match[edit]
- ...by The Guardian showed... Link The Guardian
- Done
Aftermath and legacy[edit]
- ...joined Juventus in the... Link Juventus F.C.
- Done
2a - it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline[edit]
- Ref numbers are from this revision.
