  • Round vs round in the infobox. - Fixed
  • "The Football League", our article calls it "the Football League". This may impact a few instances. - Fixed
  • "Cardiff enjoyed..." not particularly encyclopedic in tone. - Fixed
  • " the previous year " it was a season, and you could pipelink it. - Linked
  • " dropped them to" vs "draw its final", reads odd to my ears to have them inconsistent plural/singular. See subsequent prose too... - Reworded
  • " Birmingham allowing" -> " Birmingham City allowing"
I don't think Birmingham added the City to their name until later on. Kosack (talk) 14:16, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • " Len Davies finished the season as the club's top goalscorer for the fourth consecutive season..." season ... season. Probably don't need "the season". - Reworded
  • "1921–22 season.[2] Expectations ahead " loathe as I am to advocate jumbo sentences, I think this would benefit from being a single sentence with "and" there because of the natural linkage of both sentences right now. - Done
  • "from Wallsend" if it were me, I'd expand that to the full club title. - Done
  • No need to relink Newcastle United, that was already linked in the preseason section. - Done
  • "being described as " by whom? - Added
  • "St. Mirren " piped to a redirect, no full stop required either way. - Fixed
  • "meant that the team " -> "meant that Cardiff" - Done
  • " for over two months" more than. - Done
  • "of over 50,000" more than. - Done
  • "The side's disastrous run" a little hyperbolic, perhaps, for an encyclopedia? - Reworded
  • " first time the championship had ever been decided by the method of goal average" just out of curiosity, did it happen subsequently?
  • This section is a lot of prose, any chance of a couple of images to break it up a little?
  • It would be great if we could apply some of MOS:ACCESS to the tables, e.g. row/col scopes? - Added
  • Could also make them sortable, at least the date, result, opposition and attendance columns? Especially as you've relinked every team every time... - Added
  • Link "own goal" in the prose. - Done
  • "Cardiff began their FA Cup campaign agains..." probably worth noting they started in the first round, as these days, ain't so obvious... - Done
  • "Despite the man handicap" odd way of putting it, perhaps, "Despite being down to ten players"? - Done
  • "24 players featured..." don't start a sentence with a number. - Done
  • Any reason you're not using a standard wikitable for the Player statistics? That table looks particularly odd when all the other tables in the article are of a standard format...
  • You could link 1925 FA Cup Final in that final section. - Done

That's it on a first read, so it's on hold. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 12:20, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
