• @Kosack: New enough and long enough. Sources are in the right place on the article and check out (AGF on the supporting book source though its content is backed by the club's records page as well). No issues in Earwig. You need a QPQ. Please ping me when QPQ is supplied. Raymie (t • c) 01:21, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

   Pass/Fail:

Lead

• "The 1925–26 season was the 25th season of competitive football played by Cardiff City F.C. and the team's fifth consecutive season" - repetition of "season"
• "of the Football League." - the wikilink should not include the word "the"
• "Hughie Ferguson, who was signed for a club record £5,000 in November 1925, was the club's top goalscorer." - repetition of "club"
• Wikilink cap to Cap (sport)

First Division

• Wikilink penalty area and penalty kick
• "inflicting their opponents first defeat of the season" - opponents'
• "However, the team soon entered a dismal run of form," - the text in bold is informal
• "before suffering defeat by the same scoreline against league leaders Sunderland." - being defeated
• "but Birmingham recovered to take the victory." - what was the score?
• "Stewart continued making changes and the club accepted an offer of £3,200 for Gill from Blackpool, the striker leaving after five years at the club." - repetition of "club"
• "All three new signings started the club's next match against Leicester City and the trio combined to earn the club's first points at home for a month." - same issue as above
• "helping his side to a 4–2 win over Notts County, Keenor adding his side's fourth." - repetition of "side"

Match table

• This table requires the addition of scope="col"s to the columns for MOS:DTT compliance

FA Cup

• "The side entered in the third round against fellow First Division side Burnley." - more repetition of the word "side"
• The table in this section and the Welsh Cup section will need scope="col"s added to the columns to comply with MOS:DTT

Player details

• Wikilink cap to Cap (sport)
• The player statstics table will require scope="col"s for the columns to comply with MOS:DTT

Aftermath

• "the club's first ever signing upon his arrival in 1910, left the club after 16 years." - repetition of "club"
• "caused him to lose 22lbs in weight." - please use the convert template on the text indicated in bold
