List of York City F.C. statistics and records[edit]

I have worked on this article over the last few days to fit closely the model devloped by List of Ipswich Town F.C. statistics and records, which is on the verge of passing WP:FL. I'd like to see if that could reach this far, and how it could be done. Thanks, Mattythewhite (talk) 21:06, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am also interested in seeing if there will need to be a replacement to the "European stastics" section which is present in several lists, for the bigger clubs. York have of coure never qualified for Europe, so there's nothing to write there. Another competition could be included, perhaps? And would this hinder its chances at WP:FL?

Comments Obviously the general format works or the Ipswich list wouldn't have been featured and I wouldn't have copied it myself :-) The main thing is to include what's relevant to your club; stuff that'd be beneath the dignity of bigger clubs would be completely appropriate to smaller ones. Can't see any significant problems with your list, it's referenced, you've got a couple of images. Hope some of these comments help.

  • Honours. You may want to include any promotions, highest finishing position, furthest reached in cups. Call the section Honours and achievements if you don't think such things are technically honours. And you don't need the Domestic subheading.
    •  Done I've been pondering as whether to add promotions to the list and actually get it populated a bit, but I shall now. Mattythewhite (talk) 13:23, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Goalscorers. Maybe add what division the Most league goals were scored in.
  • You've got the wrong reference against Rodney Rowe.
  • The width of your Fee column in Transfer fees received is getting stretched by the £1,000,000. If you set the overall width of both tables to 75% rather than 70%, that would cure it without interfering with Mr Dunphy's picture, with the additional benefit of Sheffield Wednesday no longer wrapping. (using Firefox, 1024x768)
  • Seeing as the fees are written as whole £, I'd right-align them.
  • Matches#Firsts. Was First match a friendly or what? Add first Football League match, maybe first match at Bootham Crescent?
    •  Done I belive this match was in the Midland League, so I've adjusted it accordingly. I've also added the first matches at Fulfordgate and Bootham Crescent. Mattythewhite (talk) 14:16, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Maybe put Mr Batters' book in a References section, before the Notes (or in a General subsection as per Ipswich), and then the notes can all just refer to Batters, page no. Looks a bit odd your note 6 mentioning Batters p334 before the full details for the book appear in note 8.
    •  Done Added a General references section, which included both books used. Mattythewhite (talk) 14:33, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note no 5, Football League play-offs would be a better wikilink.
  • There's probably enough notes to warrant two columns.
  • Add an external link to YCFC website.

Comments from The Rambling Man (talk · contribs)[edit]

  • "where they currently play, as of the 2007–08 season." - tautological.
  • Clarify that they won the league - just add "winning" before "the Football League Fourth Division".
  • Make sure references are in numerical order (you have [17][1] in the transfer section.
    •  Done Numerically ordered refernces. I believe that was the only one that needed fixing. Mattythewhite (talk) 14:15, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Otherwise it's pretty good - good format by the way ;-) ! The Rambling Man (talk) 13:39, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
