Since this is the last second-tier play-off final of the current Millennium currrently at GAN, I thought I'd review this. As with the others, the review will be for the GAN October 2020 Backlog Drive. MWright96 (talk) 08:02, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Lead
[edit]- "Winning the final was estimated to be worth up to £30 million to the successful team." -estimated by whom?
- Maybe add that Bolton did not score anymore goals after the third and explicitly state they won the match for promotion to the Premiership?
- Perhaps add a wikilink for Bolton and Preston's next seasons to the appropriate text in the third paragraphs?
Route to the final
[edit]- According to Soccerway, West Brom's Goals Against was 52 not 46 and Birmingham's was 48 not 47
- Also, West Brom's goal difference was 8 not 14 and Birmingham's was 11 not 12
- Autocorrected after above fix. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 10:46, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
- Wikilink aggregate to the appropriate article on the first mention
- Also the same could be done for cross to Cross (association football) and spot kick to Penalty kick (association football)
- Cross done, penalty is already linked and in the context of the text, it's obvious what it means. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 10:44, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
- "with a goal from Jason Roberts who ran onto a Richard Sneekes' pass and struck the ball past Matt Clarke in the Bolton goal." - the apostrophe after "Sneekes" isn't needed
- "The return leg of the semi-final was played four days later at the Reebok Stadium in Bolton." - can't really see any mention of the stadium name in the BBC Sport source
- Was in the first leg source. Explicitly repeated now. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 10:44, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
- Free kick should be wikilinked to the appropriate article
- Corner can also be wikilinked to the relevant article
Background
[edit]- "they had lost 2–0 in the 1999 final at Wembley Stadium against Watford and had defeated Reading 4–3 after extra time in the the 1995 final." - maybe put this in chronological order?
- It's more in order of most relevance, i.e. most recent. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 10:49, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
- "Preston were making their first appearance in the second tier play-off final," - this statement will need to be explicitly referenced since the 1994 The Independent source does not mention it
- It was in the previous Sporting Life link, explicitly repeated it. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 10:49, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
- Wikilink hamstring injury to the relevant entry
- I'm not convinced we should, I could link "hamstring" but that seems like plain English. We can't be certain it was a pulled hamstring per our article's definition of it, so I think it's best to leave it. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 10:49, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
Summary
[edit]- Wikilink Millennium Stadium
- Consider adding the date the match took place
- "the first chance fell to Preston's Macken whose header from a Healy cross was straight at Clarke in the Bolton goal." - went straight?
- Not sure this is a problem, reads fine to me as it stands. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 10:51, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
- Wikilink substitute on the first mention to the correct article
Post-match
[edit]- Think the Premiership and First Division in the second paragraph can be linked to the relevant seasonal articles
References
[edit]- Reference 17 "Bolton strike it rich in field of dreams" is missing The Guardian as the work
- Reference 18 "Division One Play-Off final: Bolton seal return to Premiership" should mention that a subscription is needed to access the article
- Reference 22 "Moyes: Experience the key" is missing the access date
Will put the review on hold to allow the nominator to address or query the points raised above. MWright96 (talk) 09:52, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
