Comments

[edit]

1a - the prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct

[edit]
Lead
[edit]
  1. At the end of the first paragraph you basically say the same thing twice by writing: ...ran out winners after 120 goalless minutes... and ...after neither side managed to score in normal and extra time. This needs to be reworded.
    1.  Done
  2. Link Penalty shoot-out (association football) in first paragraph as that is where the reader will come across the term first.
    1.  Done
  3. Link Extra-time per above.
    1.  Done
  4. ...won 5–4; Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes saw... reword to ...won 5–4 after Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes saw...
    1.  Done
  5. It isn't good to link to a page with a year as the piped text. "1996" could refer to anything. A way to get around this would be to write: ...game in Cup history since the 1996 edition.
    1.  Done
Route to the Final
[edit]
  1. ...drawn randomly out of a hat with the remaining.... Is it really drawn out of a hat?
    1.  Done
  2. ...were away for the first game.... Reword to were the away team for the first game for clarity.
    1.  Done
Arsenal
[edit]
  1. As both Arsenal and Manchester United were Premier League clubs, they entered the competition in the third round. Remove sentence as unnecessary.
    1.  Done
  2. ...but hit the ball over from six yards. 6 yards needs a metre conversion for us metric folk.
    1.  Done
Pre-match
[edit]
  1. ...2004–05 season. Link should be ...2004–05 season.
    1.  Done
  2. ...of Manchester United in the league... "League" should be linked to 2004–05 FA Premier League.
    1.  Done
  3. ...of a unique Treble,... No need for "Treble" to be capitalised.
    1. In most media, "the Treble" is referred to with a capital letter to distinguish it as a special achievement. – PeeJay 15:58, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  4. ..most recently against Southampton in 2003. A bit like point 5 in the lead section; the link should be in the 2003 final
    1.  Done
  5. ...constitutes the Texas Chain Saw Massacre, does it. Link "Texas Chain Sae Massacre" to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
    1.  Done
First half
[edit]
  1. ...but the assistant referee ruled... Link "assistant referee" to Assistant referee (association football)
    1.  Done
Second half
[edit]
  1. ...past the Cameroonian full-back... Link "Cameroonian" to Cameroon
    1.  Not done This would be a violation of WP:OVERLINK, in my opinion. – PeeJay 15:58, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  2. ...broke to the United captain... Link "captain" to Captain (association football)
    1.  Done
Extra time
[edit]
  1. ...awarded for a soft foul by Silvestre... Remove the term "soft" as we can't determine what a "soft" foul is.
    1.  Done
Post match
[edit]
  1. ...by The Guardian showed... Link The Guardian

[edit]
  1. Ref 22 is dead for me
    1. Found an archived version. – PeeJay 15:58, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
