A script has been used to generate a semi-automated review of the article for issues relating to grammar and house style; it can be found on the automated peer review page for September 2008.
This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I'd like to try and get it to FL status. The format is a straight crib from equivalent articles for other clubs which are already at FL, but please let me know if there's anything I still need to tweak.......
The Hessy image looks fine in my browser, the bottom of it being about halway down the block of italic text, so I'm really not sure what needs to be done to fix it for weird other browsers - any thoughts? Everything else I will fix shortly..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:56, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
The current trend appears to be to separate footnotes from references (ashere, for instance)
Hillyard image. I might make the caption into one sentence: "Ron Hillyard, Gillingham's appearance record holder, played ..."
Honours. I'd include the Southern League and Kent League titles, and any cups that were first-team competitions. If they're important enough to be on the main club article, they certainly ought to be included here
Hessenthaler image caption "only player to play for Gillingham aged 40" needs citing
Appearances. Is there are particular reason for linking the years
Goals. You need to include both Gillingham and New Brompton refs for most/fewest goals scored at any level; e.g. FCHD Gillingham page verifies that they scored 111 goals in 1946, but not that New Brompton never scored more. Similarly for most/fewest points at any level.
Consider putting the column-heading notes as footnotes below the table (ashere)
Previous stats'n'records lists have included substitute apps in brackets in the Most appearances table, and appearances in brackets in the Top goalscorer table. Any reason why you chose not to?
Sub apps are not noted separately because the book which I used as a source for "pre-Soccerbase" players does not break them out separately in its totals. As this probably only covers three players, I will get a pen and paper out and go through all the individual line-ups and note the sub apps and put them in......
Caps table. Notes column shouldn't be sortable
Transfer fee tables. Delink dates
Matches. Firsts. The article for "friendly" is called Exhibition game, not Exhibition match
Record FA Cup defeat. For completeness and consistency, add the exact date. The FA Cup archive on thefa.com will have it, if your books don't.
Attendances. Maybe lose the brackets, for consistency of presentation

Cheers for those pointers, I will address those I can ASAP -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:03, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
All now done apart from putting the apps in brackets in the goalscorers table and finding a few players' apps as sub, those will have to wait till this evening...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:09, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
