Gillingham F.C. records

I've listed this article for peer review because it's been suggested it needs to go through PR in order for the Gillingham F.C. "series" to become a Featured Topic

Thanks,

• How about adding tables for the club's top X appearance makers and goalscorers in each competition such as the ones found in Arsenal F.C. records and List of Liverpool F.C. statistics and records?
• I'm sure there are more club records to be listed than the ones that are already there. A list of "firsts" and "mosts" and attendances and transfer fee records would be perfect.

Basically, there are plenty of club stats articles to take inspiration from. I realise I've not been much help, but the mere fact that I'm offering suggestions should help with the article's inclusion in the Featured Topic. – PeeJay 12:40, 10 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I tried earlier to make sure the WP:MOS was followed closely, since then quite a bit of work's been done (to the good!) but a few citation positions need fixing (no space between cite and punctuation please), some hyphens have crept in (en-dash!) and some of the references are missing "p" for the page number(s). I'll have a closer look at the content shortly but those MOS thing really need to be sorted in my opinion. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:04, 10 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

•  Done all that, I think

More specific comments:

• Not keen on the continual wikilinking of Football League.
  •  Done
• Surely you know the actual dates of big wins (e.g. 05/09/87)?
  •  Done one, will do the other when I'm back home and have my books in front of me, as it's not on Soccerbase......
• Not clear why you have most appearances and then most appearances by "non-goalkeeper" (most would use "outfield player" I suspect as well...)... Hillyard isn't identified as a goalie anywhere....
  •  Done - took it out
• Most capped players could be included (although I realise that list may not be so large!!)
  •  Done - added most capped player, might expand it to all capped players given that there's only nine players involved - what do you think......?
    • I don't think that's a good idea, though it's clearly tempting. For one thing, the list will (presumably) grow. But mostly because it's at odds with the specific name of the list, ie records. --Dweller (talk) 10:11, 11 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]
      • True enough, I'm really not thinking especially clearly today....... :-P ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:14, 11 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• • I've sorted out the overlinking of Football League, I'll look at the other points tomorrow, right now, after 12 hours at work, I'm off home to not look at a computer screen for a few hours...... ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:00, 10 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I understand that the page itself is highly functional; it does nothing other than transmit Gillingham FC records. However, I can't help but feel that some more life could be injected into it. Expand on the lead, maybe? Something else I'd be tempted to address is your referencing. Personally, I'd put the Triggs book beneath the reference list using ((refbegin)) and ((refend)), and reference each instance using "Triggs (2001) p. XX." - I'm not sure if there's a guideline about this anywhere, but Anno Domini, for instance, does it the way I'm trying to describe. I really could be clearer. Oh, and spaces between references and punctuation. Seegoon (talk) 20:43, 10 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Presumably you mean there shouldn't be spaces between references and punctuation? I couldn't find any.... The Rambling Man (talk) 08:08, 11 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Haha, yeah maybe that should have been made clearer. I saw one, but it was probably removed right away. Seegoon (talk) 10:41, 11 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Faster than a speeding bullet, me ;-) ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:49, 11 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

BTW I've "slimmed down" the multiple references to the Triggs book, what do you think of the way it looks now.........? ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:53, 11 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]
