Fair use rationale for Image:Arms-hyde.jpg[edit]

Image:Arms-hyde.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Lead

Just as a general rule, there is no need to reference something in the lead if it is referenced later on. Also I would move the reference about the the nickname to the infobox

History

"26–0 beating at the hands of" not very encyclopaedic change to "26–0 by Preston"
"had topped it five times" again not great wording, I take it by topped it who mean won so I would change it to that.
"The first year back" change to "Their first season back in the League"
"The successful and much sought-after manager Mike McKenzie" this needs a reference as at the moment its POV.
"but remainded at the club" typo
"the Tigers got off to a sluggish start" change to "The Tigers started slowly
"during which they conceded only one home fixture." I think conceded should be changed to lost, sentence confused me when initially reading it.
Overall the section is good, but for a club with 125 years worth of history, I think the section leans towards recentism. I would like to see an expansion of the first section; two paragraphs covering nearly 100 years of history is not enough in my opinion.

Colours and crest

"This strip was used for the next two years until in 1887 Hyde's official colours" sentence doesn't make sense change to This strip was used for the next two years until 1887, when Hyde's official colours...
"In the club's first season," fairly sure the comma should a semi-colon

Ground

"Ewen Fields was made-over in summer 2010" not happy with made-over I would change the whole sentence to "The colour of the ground was changed from red to blue in 2010..."

References

Quite a few problems here: firstly the publisher is in italics in some places and not in others who need to be consistent.
There are a few book references but these don't give the publisher, the year published or the isbn. Look at the way the referencing for books is done in the Manchester United F.C. article and follow suit.
Any news sites used such as the Manchester Evening News need the date the story was published included and the author of the story (if there is one) included.
RSSF is actually RSSSF.

Apart from these concerns the article is in good shape. I'll put the article on hold until these issues are fixed and will gladly pass it once they are done. NapHit (talk) 20:09, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Discrepancy[edit]

The club was, according to the article, founded in 1919. It suffered its worst ever defeat in 1887. One of these dates must be wrong - or if not, some explanation is needed (e.g., is the club a phoenix club from an earlier team?). Grutness...wha? 11:55, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Since they became Hyde Utd for the second time, they have tried to downplay the first spell as Hyde FC. There is some bitterness among presumably a small and sometimes vocal group that exists about a time where they were rescued from bankruptcy and given a facilities upgrade and a ground makeover in exchange for a shirt sponsorship deal. 92.40.172.1 (talk) 18:36, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
