5x expanded by The Rambling Man (talk). Self-nominated at 11:42, 5 February 2021 (UTC).[reply]

This article is a fivefold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues (although a somewhat garbled version of the article seems to be being used as coursework!). A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:26, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I reviewed this for promotion, and I have a question about the sourcing. The article states, "The defeat was Cheltenham's first in the play-offs, having won five and drawn three of their previous post-season matches." However, I couldn't figure out where the cited source states that Cheltenham had won five and drawn three of the previous matches. Could you please point me towards the right information? I'm not familiar at all with this topic area, so it's very likely that I misread the source. Thanks in advance! Edge3 (talk) 16:44, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what that has to do with the DYK, but the source says This was Cheltenham's first ever defeat in a play-off game, they had won five and drew three of their previous extra-season games, winning promotion in 2002 and 2006.

It's relevant to DYK because it supports the info in hook ALT0. Thanks for clarifying! I overlooked the box in the article. Edge3 (talk) 21:33, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Will be putting the review on hold to allow the nominator to address or query the points raised above. MWright96 (talk) 15:49, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

MWright96 all done I think, bar the one which had no additional information in the source. Let me know if there's anything else and thanks for the review! The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 16:18, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
