1930 FIFA World Cup

Article about the inaugural edition of the most prestigious tournament in football (soccer). I've been expanding it recently, and would like to know what areas could be improved. I'm starting to exhaust the sources I have access to, and I think getting it comprehensive enough to become featured wouldn't be possible without Spanish language sources, but what should be done to make it a good article?

I'd say this was already at Good article level; I've made a few tweaks to it here and there (detailed in my edit summaries), but on the whole I found it to be a very readable and well-referenced article. As you suggest, I'm not sure there's much more detail that can be added to get it to FA level; I did wonder whether there should be some mention of why the British nations didn't compete, but that's probably more suited to the general World Cup article given that it covers all three of the 1930s tournaments.

I'll definitely give this a better once-over when I stop feeling ill, but the first thing to hit me was the use of the rsssf.com website. I'm not that sure about whether this site meets WP:RS but at least the reference descriptions should be consistent (i.e. all should say "RSSSF credits this goal as coming in the 21st minute." or "This goal is credited by RSSSF in the 40th minute."). More soon. The Rambling Man 17:38, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, I think a lot of those references could be hyperlinked rather than just saying (effectively) "...because rsssf.com says so...". The Rambling Man 17:42, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Been meaning to do something about that for a while. I've changed them to a general explanatory note about disputed scorers and timings. Oldelpaso 18:23, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
