Obsolete?

[edit]

"The most recent final was played in May 2007, with Derby County beating West Bromwich Albion 1-0 at the newly-renovated Wembley." The 2008 game is tomorrow. Therefore only the part about the newly-renovated Wembley will remain current. Suggest moving the paragraph to the section about the 2007 match? Digifiend (talk) 13:37, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Please add the words "in 1990" to the sentence about the first one-match playoff final, thus: "The first winners of the one-match playoff final were Swindon Town, who beat Sunderland 1-0 in 1990 but were later denied promotion due to financial irregularities, with Sunderland being promoted instead." 86.44.204.221 (talk) 08:53, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Numbers in brackets in the table

[edit]

Blackburn Rovers (1). Leicester City (2). Crystal Palace (3). Crystal Palace (4). What do the numbers in brackets mean? Please can this be made clear, or the numbers removed? Thanks --82.68.218.204 (talk) 11:55, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Format

[edit]
  • Although this is covered in "History", perhaps indicate in some way that this is the current format, just to be clear that in early years a slightly different system was used?
  • The introductory two sentences could be expanded a bit, I think, to make sure it's completely obvious to a newcomer what this is about. Looking at the FA 2017 EFL Championship play-off Final, I see the text "Reading F.C. finished the regular 2016–17 season in third place in the EFL Championship, the second tier of the English football league system, two places ahead of Huddersfield Town. Both therefore missed out on the two automatic places for promotion to the Premier League and instead took part in the play-offs to determine the third promoted team". Text along these lines (but removing the specific teams and season reference obviously) would seem to cover it well, defining clearly what the Championship is, what the pyramid is, where the promoted teams end up etc. I've also just noticed that the two sentences are virtually identical to the text in the source, so there's probably a copyvio issue here too.
  • "The team finishing in third place plays the sixth-placed team, while the team in fourth plays the fifth-placed team, in a two-legged tie" - this sounds slightly wrong, given that there are actually two different ties. Maybe either "a pair of two-legged ties", or move the "in a two-legged tie" bit to be directly after the mention of the third-vs-sixth?
  • Second paragraph - this is also extremely close paraphrasing of [1]. I suppose we could decide this is just a bread-and-butter definition of how the format works, and there's no other way to say it, but something to think about anyway.
  • "the match goes into extra time where two halves of 15-minutes off additional time are played" - extra time ... additional time sounds a bit repetitive. Maybe just "in which two further halves of 15-minutes are played"?
  • "penalty shootout" - our article has a hyphen in "shoot-out".
    The irony of the fact you linked to an article which redirected to "shootout".... I think it's horses for courses. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 13:59, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Might be worth explicitly mentioning that the away goals rule doesn't apply in the play-off semi-finals, since someone only familiar with European competition might think it did.
  • "The clubs who win the semi-finals" - change "who" to "that"?
  • Mention somewhere that the Wembley match is called the "play-off final".
  • Maybe mention somewhere that the matches take place after the end of the regular season? The final is usually on the Spring Bank Holiday Monday, if I'm not mistaken, so you could mention that too if it's sourced.
  • More to come soon  — Amakuru (talk) 13:43, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Amakuru all addressed, but if you have further suggestions on this portion, I'd appreciate it. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 14:18, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Amakuru back to you, thanks for the great review, much appreciated. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:38, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Amakuru okay, table done too. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 16:42, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, many thanks. I think this article now meets all of the Wikipedia:Good_article_criteria, including quality of prose, verifiability and broad coverage, so I'm happy to pass it. Any further issues can be addressed at FAC, if it gets that far. Cheers and thanks for the good work.  — Amakuru (talk) 18:46, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Norwich

[edit]

Any link that they refused to share gate receipts after winning, as per convention? Poor if so, but I don't want to condemn them if it isn’t true. Villafancd (talk) 02:53, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
