General

Please be consistent in how Peterborough United is refered to in the article since both "Peterborough" and "Peterborough United" are used throughout

Lead

"The top three teams of the 1999–2000 Football League Third Division, Swansea City, Rotherham United and Northampton Town, gained automatic promotion to the Second Division, while the teams placed from fourth to seventh place in the table took part in play-offs." - repetition of "teams"
"As a result of its redevelopment, it was the final season that the play-off finals were contested at Wembley Stadium before being moved to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff." - think this needs to be mentioned in the body with a reliable source verifying it as well
Think both mentions of the word seasons in the third paragraphs should be wikilinked to the appropriate articles

Background

"Darlington finished the regular 1999–2000 season in fourth place in the Third Division, the fourth tier of the English football league system, one place and one point ahead of Peterborough United." - repetition of "place"
"Jason Lee gave the visitors the lead in the fifth lead" - I believe you meant to write minute instead of "lead"
"and missed two other chances before being stretchered off the pitch with a knee injury." - chances to score?
Wikilink cross to the appropriate on the first mention in the third paragraph
"and Chris Freestone's headed goal in the 71st minute for the visitors was disallowed." - why was Freestone's goal disallowed?
Not included in the sources. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 10:25, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Background

Wikilink dislocated knee and hamstring injury to the relevant articles

Post-match

Same query for the second paragraph mentioning the word "seasons" as the fourth query for the lead

Shall place the review on hold to allow the nominator to address or query each of the points raised above MWright96 (talk) 19:08, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

MWright96 all bar one addressed, thanks again! The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 10:26, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Leading positions table

Hi TRM, there seems to be a problem with the Hartlepool row in article v Soccerway ref figures.

Yet ..., 1999–2000 Football League (ref) and 2000 Football League play-offs and 11v11 all disagree with Soccerway i.e., they agree with the article table.

Hartlepool draws 9 - Soccerway has 10

losses 16 - 15

goals against 49 - 47

goal diff 11 - 13

points 72 - 73

I'm lost (again). JennyOz (talk) 00:22, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks. For the moment I've just replaced Soccerway with the 11v11 ref. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 06:27, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
