Portman Road

I've done a bit of rework on this article, the tone and sections loosely based on current featured article Priestfield Stadium. At first I thought GA was all I could hope to achieve but I'm optimistically bringing this to peer review with a view to push it all the way to WP:FA. Thanks in advance, as always, for your time and comments. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:15, 20 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Will give it a once-over, with pleasure. --Dweller (talk) 11:43, 21 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

OK Here come some suggestions - (btw is it possible to turn off the auto sign bot?)

More to follow. --Dweller (talk) 11:45, 21 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comments from ChrisTheDude

Here's a few points:

  1. "Football" probably should be wikilinked in the first sentence
     Done Done, made it a link to the now in-vogue association football article. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:35, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Ooh, yuk. Can it be made "football" instead? --Dweller (talk) 12:15, 23 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  2. is there a source for the bit about the Witches.....?
     Done Yes, indirectly there's a source which confirms the sale of the stand to Foxhall stadium who, in 1971, was used by Ipswich Witches...so I've added the ref. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:35, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  3. Ditto for the bit about whippet racing
     Done Yes, I didn't cite every sentence because I used only two major sources so I kept it down to paragraph referencing and sentences only when the ref's changed, but I've ref'd it explicitly, from the official ITFC website. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:35, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  4. "650 tip-up seats...." - missing comma after "Arsenal"
     Done Indeed. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:35, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  5. Shouldn't it be "Supporters' Association" rather than "Supporter's"....?
     Done Yes. The official website has this wrong I suppose. Tsk. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:35, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  6. immediately after ref 10 there's a capital letter even though it's still the same sentence
     Done Yep... The Rambling Man (talk) 17:35, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  7. maybe pipe "Birmingham City" at the end of the bit about TV to get rid of the ugly double full stop?
     Done Dontchajusthatethat.... The Rambling Man (talk) 17:35, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  8. first sentence of "structure" section currently says "The pitch is surround....."
    Not sure why that's a problem? The Rambling Man (talk) 17:35, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]
     Done Yeah, I gotcha. I can't see. Busy day...! The Rambling Man (talk) 17:36, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  9. the sentence about the statues should have a comma after managers
     Done Yep... The Rambling Man (talk) 17:35, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  10. Records section contains a reference to "the Ipswich"
     Done One of the few phrases I've never heard used at Portman Road - "Up the Ipswich"! Sounds rude to me.. Still, it's not Arsenal.. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:35, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]
