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.

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   Something must be done with "Notable former players". It needs to be wikified, and either put in list form or into a prose section. It should probably also be pruned a bit, seeing how there is already a sub-article on the subject.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

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

   It is pretty well referenced; the "Rivalries" section is the main concern, though a few other statements need verification. Also, the sources could be of a better quality. A great number of them are self-referential sources by the club. There are a few books listed on the topic, but these are not used in the inline references.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   The "Reserves and Youth" section needs a summary of the sub-article.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   Reasonably good in this respect, though peacock words like "proud success" should be avoided.

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):

   The status of File:Red army loud yeovil27.jpg is not quite clear. If it has been released for use by the owner, it should have a OTRS tag

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Since no significant improvements have been made to the article over the last week, I will now delist it. Lampman (talk) 23:45, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
