Gillingham F.C.[edit]

Notified: ChrisTheDude, Lawlore, WP England, WP football, WP Kent, noticed in June

This 2007 promotion need significant work to get back up to modern FA quality. The history section cuts off at 2014 despite the team being active since then, the most recent attendance figure is from before 2010 and is horribly dated, the managers section doesn't mention the most recent several managers. The list of international players claims to be "As of 7 September 2018" although hopefully it has been updated since then. There are some places where the content has been updated, but the references have not, such as the club officials section having an accessdate from 2018. This has good bones, though, and I'm hoping that our large base of English football editors can step up and save this one. Hog Farm Talk 02:10, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Hog Farm: I'll pick this one up (as the editor who originally got it promoted). All the points above can be fixed. Worth noting, though, that very little of significance has actually happened since 2014 (the club hasn't been promoted, relegated, or won anything) so at most there will be about two sentences to add there..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:14, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Hog Farm: - OK, all of the above points have been addressed. I've also swept the refs for any which are no longer active and replaced them, as well as re-checking the others and updating the access dates accordingly. Let me know if anything else needs addressing....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:46, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Further comments
  • Mention the former name of New Brompton in the lead?
  • "but the club's financial situation has not allowed the new stand to be built and a temporary stand has been in place since 2003" - recommend as "as of" date here. Also, while I'm sure this is still true, this is an older source. Is there a more recent one that can support this statement?
  • Anything significant actually happening from this or this or this?
    • In a word, no, there have been no developments whatsoever -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:48, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • "who alleged that Gillingham owed over £30,000 in unpaid bills relating to the facility" - the training facility or Priestfield?
  • " Blue and white, or blue with black stripes, have been used since." [citation needed]
  • "and Medway Council." [citation needed]
  • "In the Sky One television series Dream Team, fictional team Harchester United lost 2–0 to the Gills in an episode broadcast in 2004" - Is this really that significant? I see it's really only cited to the program itself
  • That audio recording on the article is from 2007. I'm doubting that it's going to be of much use to include anymore, as the article has changed greatly in the last 14 years.
  • File:Gills1913.jpg - Is there a source for this file?
  • Licensing for File:FredGriffiths.jpg is marked as possible iffy; can the licensing be cleaned up

@ChrisTheDude: - These are all fairly minor points; this should be keepable without much more work. Hog Farm Talk 19:38, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Hog Farm: - all done :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:11, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Close without FARC, my concerns have all been quickly and handily addressed. Hog Farm Talk 20:19, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
