List of FA Vase winners[edit]

This is a companion list to the existing List of FA Trophy winners - the format is a straight crib, and the PR didn't turn up any significant issues with the prose, so hopefully all is good, but let me know what you think nonetheless...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:55, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved issues, Dabomb87 (talk)

Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs) All in all, really good, a few suggestions:

  • Do we really need to link England? Most, if not all, English speakers know enough about the country that linking to such a broad article is not of any use.
    • Changed
  • "The Vase is currently held by AFC Fylde, who defeated Lowestoft Town in the 2008 final." "who"-->which.
  • "At the time the club was still known by its former name, Kirkham & Wesham." What "time"?
    • The time they won the Vase. Seems clear to me but I have reworded slightly just in case
  • "During the 1980s" Comma after this phrase.
    • Changed
  • "was won by teams representing a variety of different leagues and from all parts of the country" Bit wordy and vague, try "was won by teams that represented different leagues from all parts of the country"
    • Changed
  • "In the 1990s there were again few repeat finalists, with only Guiseley and Tiverton Town appearing more than once." Few is rather subjective here. I can think of many cases in which having two repeat finalists is about or even above average.
    • Changed
  • In the Results table, can we use em dashes instead of en dashes?
    • Why? WP:DASH specifically states that en dashes should be used in sports scores.....
      • I was talking about the cells without entries. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:33, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • Apologies, I thought you meant within the table of match results. No problem, I'll change it.....

Source comment Why does Ref 15 use the ((Cite news)) template? Dabomb87 (talk) 23:08, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
