This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed, listed below. I will check back in seven days. If these issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far.

• The formatting in the last half of this article needs to be sorted out. I can't even make sense of it as it stands. --Malleus Fatuorum 01:02, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Looked like a missing table piece. Fixed.Cptnono (talk) 01:22, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I can check the rest of the article now. --Malleus Fatuorum 01:35, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Management team

• Ref #50 is dead, and ref #51 only mentions Billy Clark.

1. 50 has been fixed, #51 supports the statemnet about Clark as he is not listed in #50

Records

• "The season of 2006-07, Bristol Rovers are the only Football League club to play at the Millenium Stadium and Wembley Stadium in one season, a feat only Premier League side Chelsea FC could achieve." Doesn't make sense. The only club to do it, but Chelsea did it as well?

The Football League and the Premier League are separate leagues. The Premier league split away in 1992. I agree the wording is clumsy, though. Jezhotwells (talk) 03:15, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

In my opinion, this isn't really a record, merely trivia. Therefore, I've been bold and deleted this. Bettia (bring on the trumpets!) 09:11, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Achievements

• What's the source for this information?

Everything except the Glos Cup wins are listed on the club website. Next question is, how to incorporate this link into this section - I assume adding a reference to the heading is out of the question? Bettia (bring on the trumpets!) 09:18, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

How about adding at the start of the section something like "The club has won the following honours:" and attaching the ref to that..........? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:37, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Honestly, I can't see the wood for the trees sometimes.... Bettia (bring on the trumpets!) 09:47, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

References

• Last access dates should be formatted consistently.

Gasheadsteve made a start, and I've amended the rest so that they all now read day-month-year (UK format), as well as applying cite templates to some refs which were missing these. I think I've caught all of them, as well as fixing a couple of broken links. Bettia (bring on the trumpets!) 09:10, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

• Thanks everyone for dealing with this promptly and cheerfully. I've fixed one outstanding broken link, made all the citations consistent, and the issues I raised above have been addressed. I;ll update the article history to show that this article has been reassessed against the GA criteria and that it still meets them, so you ought not to be bothered again for a while at least. --Malleus Fatuorum 15:34, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
