After something like 20 successful FACs for seasons from the history of Gillingham F.C. I thought I would give people a bit of a rest. But I couldn't keep away forever :-) So here's the tale of another season in the history of the club, one in which one of their greatest ever players (and my absolute idol when I was 13 years old) made his debut after being (reportedly) swapped for a dozen tracksuits....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:11, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pseud 14

[edit]
  • 30-year old -- hyphen between year and old
  • teenager Gary Sutton had deputised for him since the game against Burnley after Hillyard suffered a groin strain. -- maybe consider this as a separate sentence.
  • Dean White, who scored twice against Portsmouth,[38] repeated the feat in the next game, a 2–1 win over Millwall,[41] which meant that Gillingham had equalled the club record of four consecutive Football League wins away from home and won five consecutive league games for the first time since the 1972–73 season;[42][43] he then scored the only goal in a 1–0 win over Swindon Town. -- same as above, perhaps this could be split as well.
  • who had only two goals to his name since September -- not sure if to his name is needed. I think it should be fine if we say he only had two goals since September.
  • Micky Adams replaced Andy Ford after Ford suffered a knee injury -- maybe the second mention of Ford could be replaced with after the latter suffered a knee injury
  • 19-year old Tony Cascarino -- hyphen between year and old
  • Three days later Lee was named only as the -- comma after three days later
  • A goal-less draw at home to Southend -- other instances were written as goalless, except for this one
  • That's all from me. Excellent work as always on your series. Pseud 14 (talk) 20:30, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take a look at this. I will mainly focus on prose. Steelkamp (talk) 05:24, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Putting down a marker for now. - SchroCat (talk) 17:05, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@SchroCat: - sorry to trouble you, just wondering if you still planned to review this article? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:18, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Chris, I certainly do. Work has taken a turn towards the manically busy over the last couple of weeks and I haven’t had time to do much of anything, but I should be here in the next day or so. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 09:17, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@SchroCat: - no worries, hope you are able to keep your head above the torrents of stress and I look forward to your review when time allows...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:08, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Image review - pass

[edit]

Only three images

All images are properly licensed. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 18:36, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Source review - pass

[edit]
  • Sources are good quality - mostly newspaper articles and books. AGF on book references, which are not available to me.
  • Spot checks: 4, 38, 44, 78, 100, 117 - all okay
    fn 119 points to 1982-83 season and not 1986-87 like it is supposed to.

@Hawkeye7: - thanks for your review. Dumb-ass copy-paste error on ref 119 fixed -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 06:42, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Co-ord query

[edit]
@FAC coordinators: , I have another one nearly ready to go (just need to ref a couple of sentences). Given that this one has three prose supports plus completed source and image reviews, would I be permitted to nominate it? Thanks in advance :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:47, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And it has been up for 21 days, so sure. Gog the Mild (talk) 16:02, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
