Okay, I'll begin a review now and make straightforward copyedits as I go. (Hey I thought this looked familiar...here we go again) Please revert if I inadvertently guff the meaning. I'll jot queries below: Casliber (talk · contribs) 11:42, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I must say, scanning over it - that if you feel you've added everything you want to, then merging with History of Tranmere Rovers F.C. looks to me like a good idea. If you look at Wikipedia:FA#Sport_and_recreation and scan some of the football FAs such as Sunderland A.F.C., York City F.C., and Luton Town F.C. for starters, you can see they are big or bigger than a combination of the two articles on Tranmere.

The two articles were split because the history bit was so long (not to mention unreferenced, and a copyright infringement). It's somewhat slimmer now, and could go back. Here's a test merge. However, I note that this comes to 65k in size, and WP:SIZERULE suggests that such an article should be divided. U+003F? 10:45, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ahaa, no they are two different measurements - the readable prose size is only 17 kB (2908 words) - you can put the tool in your monobook here at User:Dr pda/prosesize.js - once loaded you get a "page size" in your toolbox in hte left hand column. Very useful. So this could be double the size and not need splitting. I think a single merged article is a major improvement and something that could with some polish and review end up at FAC.

Great, thanks for the pointer. A couple of questions: can I just perform a merge now, or does it have to be put up for discussion? And: can the GA review carry on, or would it have to be restarted after such a big change to the article? U+003F? 13:59, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Scratch the questions, I've fired ahead and merged the two articles. U+003F? 16:46, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Right then, on to business....some comprehensiveness queries first.

You have both "Superwhites" and "Super whites" in the article, choose one (like occurs in sources) and align all the spelling.
