Improved to Good Article status by The Rambling Man (talk). Nominated by Valereee (talk) at 15:02, 29 July 2020 (UTC).[reply]

  • Hi Valereee, article is of good quality and promoted to GA on 25 July; no issues with citations or copyright violations form a spot check on sources; I've struck ALT3 as it was a bit confusing without going into detail on the rule change. One issue I found with ALT1 is that the 133 year history of Wycombe is only mentioned in the lead and not cited in the article? - Dumelow (talk) 07:18, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! —valereee (talk) 09:59, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Should be good to go now, Dumelow! —valereee (talk) 10:04, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A QPQ has been carried out (the article was subsequently deleted as non-notable but I don't think that could/should have been picked up in a DYK review); no issues here. One suggestion, I think that ALT0 might be improved by adding "90,000-capacity" in front of "Wembley Stadium" but I am happy to pass this without - Dumelow (talk) 10:45, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Rambling Man, see Dumelow's query about the 133 years needing a citation somewhere. —valereee (talk) 09:58, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Flag icons?

[edit]

I am looking for an adequately reliable source that would provide the declared nationalities of each of the players who played in this match, so I can add the corresponding flag icons to the match details section. I have already tried citing both clubs' websites (which list their first-team rosters for the 19-20 season, including players' nationalities); however, The Rambling Man informed me that they do not consider these sources to be 'reliable' when it comes to players' nationalities. Would anything off of TransferMarkt (specifically, this link and this link) &/or Sky Sports (this link and this link) work for providing nationalities in this case? Thanks in advance CitizenKang414 (talk) 23:06, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

TransferMarkt is not RS. The Sky Sports link doesn't have their nationalities mentioned at all. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 23:08, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's the thing... you can find nationalities on the Sky Sports squad pages, but only if you click on each specific player. Same goes for the club website sources that I tried out earlier. Unless I were to insert the link for literally EVERY SINGLE PLAYER as sources, I am not sure how I would, realistically, cite these in an article. CitizenKang414 (talk) 23:11, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 23:16, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question. Just curious: Could someone please point out to me the exact section of the guidelines listed at WP:MOSFLAG which indicates that the flags for sporting nationalities should be deleted from final articles if they lack sources? CitizenKang414 (talk) 00:06, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have seen several instances wherein an editor deletes the players' flag icons and, in the edit summary, simply cites "WP:MOSFLAG" as the reason for deletion without any further explanation. I just wanted to know which specific part of WP:MOSFLAG is being cited here. CitizenKang414 (talk) 00:09, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The very first paragraph- "Flag icons may be relevant in some subject areas, where the subject actually represents that country or nationality". In a play-off final, nobody is representing any country.--Egghead06 (talk) 05:55, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose that is true, although granted, whether or not a player is "representing"–– or merely should by identified by–– his/her country is debatable. Point taken, though. CitizenKang414 (talk) 18:16, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In this specific context, it's not relevant. Indeed, it might give the impression that all of them are internationals. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 19:04, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@The Rambling Man That's actually a very good point! CitizenKang414 (talk) 22:43, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I know! The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 22:44, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Update – I have re-added the flag icons (1.5 yr later lol), because as per 2021 EFL League One play-off Final and 2021 EFL Championship play-off Final, it would appear that including the flag icons in the player line-ups does not exclude the article from Good Article criteria.
