Talk:Midland Football Alliance

Old post

This page should really be at Midland Football Alliance.

Yes. And now it is!--ALargeElk 11:43, 12 May 2004 (UTC)

Leics League

All reference to the Leics Senior League feeding into the MFA has been removed - has the promotion status of that league changed? ChrisTheDude 07:15, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Midland Football Alliance/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

I'll be conducting a review of this article in the next few days. - Nick C (talk) 21:16, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   • A few red links, could create these pages or redirect to the article.  Done
   • Could add the runners-up to the "Champions" table.  Done
   • Although FA regulations officially state that only one club may be promoted from a Step 5 league, the Alliance has sent up to three clubs up to higher leagues in a single season, as in 2007 Leamington, Romulus and Quorn were all promoted. - Could expand on why three clubs were promoted rather than just one.  Done

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   • If possible, could add the winners and runners-up of the League Cup and the Joe McGorian Cup, as it is related to this league.  Done

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

A very nicely written and carefully referenced article. With just a few improvements as listed above, I believe this article can achieve GA status. - Nick C (talk) 10:25, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks for the review, I will add in the runners-up and the cup winners later today. I'll also have a go at knocking up quick stubs for the redlinked clubs - redirecting to this page would not be appropriate as they would have played in multiple other leagues during their respective histories. There is no definitive answer, however, as to why more than one team has been promoted, apparently contrary to FA rules, other than to presume that numbers needed to be made up in the higher-level leagues (and I can't source that to a RS). Would it be easier to remove this bit, as I don't think it's vital......? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:49, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Actually I just double-checked the FA regulations and can find no mention os the "only one club per league" bit, so either I dreamt that up or it was outdated info. I've therefore rewritten that paragrpah accordingly..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:00, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

I think I have now addressed all the points raised above -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:15, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Nice, I think I'm going to upgrade it to GA status. Congratulations! - Nick C (talk) 19:45, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
