MLS Cup 1997

Improved to Good Article status by SounderBruce (talk). Self-nominated at 07:39, 19 April 2020 (UTC).

  • Promoted to GA in time (for some reason the tool is showing "January 1, 2001" instead of April 18, 2020 as the promotion date, which is probably an error of some kind), meets the other DYK requirements such as hook sourcing and inline citation. ALT0 is probably the hook that would interest the broadest interest, including even non-MLS fans. QPQ still pending. My concern is that Earwigs suggests a close match with this link, and while I can't tell if that link copied from Wikipedia or the other way around, this needs to be addressed before this is approved.

  • It was clearly copied from an earlier version of the article (which I wrote in May 2019). This website is a cheap linkfarm that ripped Wikipedia entries without attribution. SounderBruce 21:32, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Article length and age are fine, no copyvio or plagiarism concerns (per above), reliable sources are used. I concur that ALT0 is the most likely to be of the broadest interest. --TheSandDoctor Talk 00:40, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
