- The competition was established in 1960, and is considered to be the second most important domestic cup competition for English football clubs, after the FA Cup. - remove the first comma
- This one seemed alright to me, as an example of the Oxford comma, but I've removed it anyway.
- You're right, I misread the sentence, you may readd it, sorry.--TRUCO 01:30, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Upon a second reading of the sentence, I'm not sure it needs the comma. It would probably be fine either way. – PeeJay 01:56, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- It could go either way, so its fine either or.--TRUCO 16:56, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The first Football League Cup was won by Aston Villa, who beat Rotherham United 3–2 on aggregate, after losing the first leg 2–0.[3] For the first six seasons of the competition, the final was contested over two legs, one at each participating club's stadium. - 1)the second sentence should go first because it helps to explain what the terms in the following sentence means 2)What does aggregate mean (link? footnote? elaboration?)
- Liverpool hold the record for the most League Cup titles; they have won the competition seven times[4] including four consecutive titles from 1981 to 1984. - comma before including
- The cup is held by Tottenham Hotspur, who defeated Chelsea 2–1 after extra time in the 2008 final. - add "currently" before held
- Swindon Town also then of Division Three matched this feat in 1969. - comma before also and after Division Three
- Sheffield Wednesday then in the Second Division became the last club to win the competition whilst competing outside the First Division, when they beat Manchester United in the 1991 final. - comma before then and after Second Division
- With the promise of potential European football, First Division teams entered the competition, and all 92 Football League clubs entered the League Cup for the first time in 1969–70. - since the year is in that format, where is the link to that season or respective article?
- Linked to the appropriate season, although it is a redlink
- The final returned to London in 2008, where Tottenham Hotspur became the first side to win the competition at the new Wembley, beating Chelsea 2–1 after extra time. - the first side? Is this another word for "team"?
- Is the attendance necessary? It doesn't add to the relevancy of the list. If it is, it should be summarized in the prose as well.
- The attendance isn't especially relevant, but I've left it in as I don't really fancy removing so much info myself. I don't like the pressure, you see.
- Well you should note something about it in the prose if you are going to leave it.--TRUCO 01:30, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Could do, but I'm going to bed now, so if someone else could do that, that'd be great. – PeeJay 01:56, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, that makes the list incomplete because a major part of the list is not being summarized in the lead and is just there for no apparent reason [in regards to the reader]. So until then, I can't support.--TRUCO 16:56, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- It is not needed describing the attendance in the lead is unnecessary, it is overkill, I will add a link to attendances or something so the reader can click on that if they are interested, otherwise there is no need for anything else. NapHit (talk) 17:34, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Then at least add footnote stating why the attendance is there, if I didn't know any better, I would be like "Why the hell is the attendance in this type of list"?--TRUCO 18:01, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Added note to clarify NapHit (talk) 19:53, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Since ref #3 and 8 mostly verify the entire list(s), how about making it a general ref, as seen in this FL's references?--TRUCO 22:25, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Done. Thanks for the comments. – PeeJay 01:16, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
