   Pass/Fail:

General

• All references in the prose and tables should be rearranged in numerical order and not jumbled up in an incorrect order.  Done

Badge rules

• "The badge has the shape of a shield measuring 78 millimetres by 58 millimetres," - The 78 by 58 mm (3.1 by 2.3 in) badge is shaped like a shield,.  Done
• "and shows the image of the relevant trophy" - displays.  Done

Non-FIFA competitions

• "during F.A. Cup fixtures" - the full stops in "F.A." are not needed in these modern times.  Done
• "badge during F.A. Cup fixtures but not in Premier League fixtures," - try not to repeat the same word close together in the same sentences.  Done
• "the English FA granted Liverpool F.C." - the "F.C." is not needed.  Done

National teams

• "In September 2008, the badge was extended to the FIFA World Cup and was presented to Italy, who were reigning champions (having won it in 2006)," - better the defending champions from 2006 Italy,.  Done

Records

• The mentions of the phrase "(see table below)" are not needed on this encyclopedia.  Done

Continuous periods

• The second paragraph should be referenced with reliable citations - SEE COMMENTS BELOW

Number of times

• The whole section is unreferenced and will require citations from reliable sources - SEE COMMENTS BELOW
• "Real Madrid has won right to wear the badge four times since its inception, while Barcelona has won the right three times" - earned the insignia to avoid repetition of the same phrase in the same sentence.  Done
• "the Portugal national beach soccer team is has won the right twice" - the word in bold should be deleted as it is out of place.  Done

Beach soccer: Male

• Portugal in the table has no reference at all.  Done

Notes

• Note a: "The 2015 Fifa Equipment Regulations notes that the dimensions are 80 millimetres by 55 millimeters" - FIFA.  Done
  • Also the measurement would be better of formatted as 80 by 55 mm (3.1 by 2.2 in).  Done
• Note b: "because Italy were reigning champions from the 2006 World Cup, whereas A.C. Milan were the reigning champion" - defending winners or title holders to avoid repetition of the same phrase within the same sentence.  Done

References

• Reference 14 is from The Daily Telegraph not The Daily Mail.  Done

MWright96, thank you for that - very helpful comments. I have been able to fix most of them (noted above under each one), except for the questions for citations in the "Records" section. The "Number of Times" sub-section is just a summary from the tables below; it is not cited anywhere, but I don't think would be OR as the tables should be straightforward to read? Same issue with the USWNT record (although, there was a specific FIFA post on this on their website but it has become broken and can't link to it anymore); however, the UNWNT are the only team to win it more than once in a row, so again, I was hoping the tables would suffice (hence why I had the "see table below" part). Hope that makes sense? Look forward to your comments. Thanks again. Britishfinance (talk) 19:24, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
