I'll be planning to review this article. Quidster4040 (talk) 19:06, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Linkrot: No linkrot found in this article.

Update: The wording is misleading, thought if anyone who is autopatrolled can edit, but doesn't look to be the case. I won't be editing due to lack of credentials, if someone else can edit it that would be awesome. Quidster4040 (talk) 19:08, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Which wording are you referring to? Is this anything I can fix? – Pee Jay 08:40, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Second update: will be reviewing momentarily. Just found out I can continue reviewing the article. Quidster4040 (talk) 20:43, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Checking against the GA criteria

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It very well-written
For the most part it is well sourced, however, the following areas need to be sourced:
Most of the "Route to the final" section is unsourced

"Élber's absence resulted in Bayern playing a three-man attack of Mario Basler, Carsten Jancker and Alexander Zickler, while Lizarazu was replaced by Michael Tarnat playing in a wing-back role opposite Markus Babbel on the right. Babbel was originally intended to play a man-marking role on Ryan Giggs, with his defensive abilities earning him selection ahead of the more attack-minded Thomas Strunz;[49] however, this was nullified by Giggs' selection on the right wing, where he would play against Tarnat. The Bayern defence was anchored around sweeper Lothar Matthäus, who played behind Thomas Linke and Ghana international Samuel Kuffour – the only non-German in the Bayern side (by comparison, Manchester United had four Englishmen, one Welshman and one Irishman in their team). Stefan Effenberg and Jens Jeremies played in central midfield for Bayern, with Jeremies man-marking David Beckham. The midfield width was provided by forward runs from Tarnat and Babbel." Needs sourcing

In the "Summary" section, there are several unsourced paragraphs.
Second paragraph of "First Half" needs sourcing

"Second half" section needs sourcing

First paragraph of "injury time" needs sourcing
It is broad in coverage – very well done!
It is neutral in point-of-view
The article is Stable
There is a good amount of relevant images that illustrate the article

Before this can meet GA, there are a few paragraphs that need to be cited. This article is very well-written otherwise, so once these missing citations are addressed, I will be willing to promote this article for GA! Quidster4040 (talk) 17:13, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. I will address these issues when I get a chance by the end of the weekend. – Pee Jay 18:10, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Status query

PeeJay2K3, Quidster4040, where does this review stand? It's been 19 days since the above, and nothing appears to have been done despite plenty of Wikipedia activity elsewhere. Can we expect some progress soon? BlueMoonset (talk) 22:30, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Been waiting for PeeJay2K3, but if these items are not addressed, I suppose it will fail nomination. Quidster4040 (talk) 21:08, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I made this nomination over the Christmas break when I had a lot more time on my hands. Now I'm back at work, I'm struggling. I'll see what I can do this afternoon. Sorry to keep you all waiting! – Pee Jay 09:54, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Looked over it, and it looks great! I'm willing to nominate for GA nomination. BlueMoonset. Quidster4040 (talk) 02:29, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Does that mean it passes? If so we can get the review closed, if there's anything else we can go from there. Wizardman 22:33, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wizardman, I think Quidster4040 means that it passes. I'd like to be sure, though... BlueMoonset (talk) 01:16, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes Wizardman, that is correct. Quidster4040 (talk) 01:42, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'll close this as a pass then. Wizardman 21:00, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
