I have been doing some more work on this list over the last few days, and has had a peer review which has brough up some useful comments. I believe it meets the FL criteria and is made to match other football seasons Featured Lists. Thanks, Mattythewhite 11:28, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - the first thing that pops out at me is that on the first line it says "York City City Football Club". - PeeJay 11:36, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Fixed. Feel like a right idiot. Thanks for telling me.. Mattythewhite 11:38, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. Got some more comments though:
  • Myself, I would suggest removing the links from the divisions column of the table, as the divisions are already linked to in the Key section.
  • According to the Football League Trophy page, the competition's official name was the Associate Members Cup only until 1992, but you have it by that name up until 2000.
  • I've done this as the source I've been using gives that name up till this season. See here. I'll change it if you like. Mattythewhite 11:56, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • If the FCHD is correct, though, as it usually is, then the Wikipedia article must be wrong. Before changing the York City seasons article, we should probably see which source is correct. - PeeJay 12:01, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • The FCHD Football League Trophy page links to Jeremy Hicks's site, which implies 1992 as the date of change, coinciding with the separation between Premiership and Football League. On BCFC seasons, I had it as AMC up to 1992 and then FLT in 1995, presumably based on that. My BCFC books just call it the Auto Windscreens Shield, which isn't very helpful.

Other than that, I would be happy to support this FLC. - PeeJay 11:43, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support as long as the following minor changes are made to the lead:
  1. "They were elected to play in the The Football League...." - double "the"
 Done Removed "the". Mattythewhite 12:20, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  1. "the highest the club has ever reached in this competition" - should be "furthest", not "highest", given that the cup does not work on a table basis
 Done Reworded to "furthest". Mattythewhite 12:20, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Other than that it looks excellent - nice one! ChrisTheDude 12:11, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Fulfils all the criteria so I'll support. Excellent work. Dave101→talk  23:11, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support conditional that you change World War II to Second World War. My pet hate. The Rambling Man 11:20, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Also, since the list isn't sortable, I don't like the overlinking to the various cup competitions line after line, but that's a personal opinion. The Rambling Man 11:21, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
     Done Links removed. Mattythewhite 11:29, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comments I participated at peer review where concerns/suggestions raised were dealt with satisfactorily. One or two more things...

  • you might want to highlight seasons when the club's goalscoring record was broken (Gillingham F.C. seasons does it by bolding the relevant scorer's name and total).
  • you also might want to highlight when the division changes, either by promotion, relegation or league reorganisation, done on Gillingham F.C. seasons and on featured list Birmingham City F.C. seasons by bolding the division column entry. (This was done on BCFC seasons for two reasons. In general, breaking up the long list of division abbreviations makes it easier to read if you're just glancing down that area of the list. And in particular, for accessibility - bolding provides an extra visual cue that something's changed, to help those of us whose defective colour vision stops us making full use of the colour-coding in the league position column.)
  • the FA Cup resumed in 1945-46.
  •  Done Season added with FA Cup details. Mattythewhite 18:01, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
