  • "The following decade proved more successful for the club with a club-record victory, 10–2, over Coventry City" - not finding this in the source

  • "They made their first appearance at Wembley Stadium in 1973," - this specific detail isn't in the source

  • "A highly successful first season saw promotion back to the First Division" - not in source
    Done. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 16:17, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Appears to be some ref placement issues in the first paragraph of Promotion, silverware and more cup runs (1980–1992) - not seeing where the bit about Bond leaving is coming from, and the 81/82 Division table ref should presumably be before the information about Fashanu
    Done. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 16:17, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • "The 1984–85 season was of mixed fortunes for the club;" - a bit original research-y to source this statement to a game log
    Not really, I think it's a bit "sky is blue" to suggest that winning a trophy but getting relegated could be considered "mixed fortunes". The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 16:17, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • "Their top scorer that season was Mark Robins, who had been signed from Manchester United the previous summer" - not seeing where the linked source mentions Robins?
    Removed, trivia. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 16:17, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • "Norwich were the first British team to beat Bayern Munich in the Olympic Stadium" - not in source
    Done. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 16:17, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • "UEFA Cup for the first (and only) time" - source doesn't mention that this was the first or only time
    Done. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 16:17, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Ready for the Division One Years section; @The Rambling Man and Dweller: I think there's some ref placement issues here. Hog Farm Talk 23:31, 19 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hog Farm cheers, all the above addressed and/or responded to. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 16:17, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Busy right now; will get back to this soon. Hog Farm Talk 13:33, 22 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • " the club struggled and, despite beating Manchester United 2–0 towards the end of the season," - phrasing implies a particular significance to this win, but it isn't obvious what that significance is
    Removed, if you know football you know that at that time it was a big deal, but it's relatively trivial for the main club article. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 16:26, 25 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • ""This as far as we can tell is the first time that the popular pastime of the day ie ... rearing ... canaries was linked with Norwich City FC... the club still played in blue and white, and would continue to do so for another two seasons."" - who/what is this quoting? Doesn't seem to still be Bowman
    Dweller looks like a lift from Eastman, but I don't have that book. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 16:26, 25 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

  • "On 23 November 2021, the club unveiled a new club badge that officially replaced the previous badge on all club branding from 17 June 2022 and will appear on club shirts from the 2022–23 season" - source only says that it will be used beginning in June 2022, and doesn't seem to give the exact date of 17 June unless I missed it
    Fixed. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 16:26, 25 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Ready for current ownership, hope to pick back up here tomorrow. Hog Farm Talk 03:43, 24 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

  • " in 2003, comprised approximately 8,000 individual shareholdings" - any hope of a more recent number?
    Not that I can find. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 16:50, 25 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • " "Norwich City all time records". Soccerbase. CenturyComm. Archived from the original on 2 October 2007. Retrieved 25 April 2007." - nothing cited to this as a current record is particularly verifiable, as it is an archive snapshot from 2007 and the original link doesn't go to the right thing anymore
    Updated. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 16:50, 25 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Out on loan table needs sourced
    Done. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 17:03, 25 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • "During the club's centenary season, a "Hall of Fame" was created, honouring 100 former players chosen by fan vote. Further players have been inducted into the Norwich City Hall of Fame in 2003, 2006 and 2012." - should be sourced, especially since our article on the list currently disagrees with this by saying that some were inducted in 2009 as well
    Reworded and sourced. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 17:16, 25 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Players of the season table should be sourced
    Done. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 17:09, 25 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • "The celebratory scenes of the open-top bus ride around the city (right) were actually shot in St Albans, Hertfordshire, rather than Norwich." - unsourced

  • "Fascinating trivia (and any goofs) connected with the film". Powell-pressburger.org. Archived from the original on 4 October 2012. Retrieved 26 November 2012." - not sure this is RS?
    Commented out, there's not much in RS about this movie at all. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 16:57, 25 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Dweller and The Rambling Man: - I think that's it from me. Hog Farm Talk 01:15, 25 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Dweller and Hog Farm:, I'm done here. I can't believe I'm even doing this for a club of which I literally oppose its very existence.... Over to you guys to just tidy up now. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 17:16, 25 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Dweller, I'm out of town for work this week and won't be able to edit much. Would you be able to give this a general read-through? Hog Farm Talk 13:27, 26 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
I read the above and the article. Both look good to me. Thanks, Hog Farm --Dweller (talk) Old fashioned is the new thing! 20:06, 3 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
