Report

Hello, The Rambling Man, there were some minor points that needed addressing and I attended to those as I went through on a copyedit basis.

There's a problem with the 18 citations which are linked to archive pages, especially BBC Sport, as the archives are unobtainable. The original pages are currently live: e.g., Barnsley v Walsall. The citations affected are nos 3–13, 15, 21, 23–24 and 28–30. I haven't checked them all but it seems they might all need redirecting and reformatting.

If you can amend the citations so that they link to the accessible pages (main site or archive as the case may be), I think I will be able to pass this. It's well written and a good, objective report of the game. I'll place it on hold for now. All the best. No Great Shaker (talk) 10:41, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No Great Shaker all those archived citations work fine for me, albeit slowly. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 13:56, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Really? I was getting DNS failure responses. Oh, well, if they work for you then there's no need to alter the citations because it might be a localised problem. I'm going to pass the article because it is a good one, no doubt. I have a friend who supports Barnsley and he was at that match. I remember him telling me he had to duck so something from Millwall could fly just over his head, but it was a great win for Barnsley. Anyway, well done, all the best and take good care.
