""Fulham's record of conceding a further 16 goals than Bristol Rovers over the course of the season showed and the Bristol team went through in emphatic style" bit commentator-ish, and not much detail on the goals.

Can you replace the table sources all with 11v11 so we have no issues over RS?
- What do you mean?--EchetusXe 14:47, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm not sure of the provenance of "www.englishfootballleaguetables.co.uk." yet 11v11 do league tables and that website has been agreed to be a reliable source. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:30, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's enough for a first pass, on hold. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 17:51, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

EchetusXe ok I'll see what I can dig out on those sites and let you know. There are a couple of points here which you can take a look at in the meantime. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:30, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Okay thank you.--Echetus Xe 12:33, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Some clippings:

EchetusXe do you have access to the British Newspaper Archive? If not I'll take a look, are you able to/happy to receive emails? The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 16:20, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a few interesting points from those clippings and there was a new article published today actually. I don't have a subscription to the newspaper archive but I can receive emails.--EchetusXe 16:20, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I sent you some more stuff. Let me know when you're done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:46, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - I recieved one email with snippings but not a second ne. Thanks.--EchetusXe 13:17, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yeah, it was just one email along with the links above. Have you incorporated all you can from those? The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 11:07, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      - Yes but the references for the emailed stuff doesn't seem to be working.--Echetus Xe 13:20, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        They were PDFs?? The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 14:15, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        They had a section that says "link" at the bottom.--Echetus Xe 08:52, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        Oh, I don't get it. I sent four PDFs I think, they contained everything, no links required and as far as I know, no links sent. There's a citation at the end of each one which has a URL if required, but all the material required is there, no need to go online for anything. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 10:30, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        No that's what I'm saying. I copied the citation for the articles references but they don't seem to work on the article.--Echetus Xe 12:10, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        Ok, that makes sense. Just put them in as bare refs if you like and I'll fix them up. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 12:13, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        Yeah they're in the article. Thanks.--Echetus Xe 14:42, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tidied up and promoted. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 20:43, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
