Welcome to FAC

[edit]

Hi Hilst and thank you for your nomination to FAC. A few pointers on the process and how to get the best from it:

What to expect

  • As a first time nominator at FAC, the nominated article will need to pass a source-to-text integrity spot check and a review for over-close paraphrasing in addition to all of the usual requirements.
  • You should be aware that every aspect of the article will be rigorously examined, including the standard of prose; breadth, standard and formatting of sources; image licencing; and adherence to the Manual of Style.

Dealing with reviewers

  • Try to deal with comments in a timely and constructive fashion.
  • Remember that reviewers are constructively giving their opinion on the article.
  • Keep calm when dealing with criticism of any aspect of the article.
  • Don't take the criticism personally: reviewers are examining the article – not you!

How to get the best from the process

  • Reviewing the work of others is a good way to get a grasp of the process from the other side.
  • Reviewing other FACs also increases the likelihood that others will review your nomination – although remember there is no quid pro quo at FAC.

Good luck with your nomination.

[edit]

The Suicidal Tour (Brazilian Portuguese: Excursão Suicída), also known as the Death Tour (Brazilian Portuguese: Excursão da Morte), took place when Brazilian professional football club Santa Cruz Futebol Clube toured the North Region of Brazil from 2 January 1943 to 29 April 1943. They played friendly matches to raise funds, with they played over 25 matches taking place over the course of almost four months, in six different cities.[a] The tour gained its name due to the misfortunes endured by the club, including a lack of funds, the threat of German attacks, and deaths. During the tour, two Santa Cruz players died, and two left to join other clubs.
