History of Everton F.C. edit

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because Everton F.C. is currently being peer reviewed and by improving this page as well it should help the process

Comments from Noleander

  • Overall - Overall, the article is very good, but there are some issues.
  • Disambig - Link NTL has disambig tag that must be fixed.
  • Section titles - Normally, should not start with the word "The ..".
  • Italic phrase? - In section "The David Moyes Era (2002-present)" at the top, there is an odd italic phrase "Runner-Up : FA Cup (2009)" ... not sure what it is there for.
  • Dashes - ndashes should be used instead of hyphens for years as in 1922–1930. See WP:NDASH
  • External links - Should have ext link to FC's official web site.
  • See also - Not required, but consider adding some links here, if not in the footer navboxes already.
  • Infobox - Many top-notch articles have an infoBox in the upper right corner ... consider using the one from the Everton F.C. article, but that is optional.
  • Lead wording - Very first sentence is "Everton Football Club have a long and detailed history" which is not as professional or encyclopedic as it should be. It should state facts about the team & its history, not make meta-comments about the history.
  • Bullet list - in "Club Honours" section, consider bulletizing the list with * bullets.
  • Reference works - The footnote list is good, but there is no "References" section ... are there no history books on this club? If not okay, but if there are (even a team pamphlet or something) it should be in a References section.
  • Emphasis quotes - The "Dogs of War" and "Great Escape" are section titles that are in quotes. Generally, quotes like that should be avoided ... perhaps use italics, but even that is not ideal. If there is a key person that made those statements, and they are genuine quotes, then that person needs to be named in those sections, and the quote explained, and cited.

...I hope that helps. --Noleander (talk) 18:10, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
