Croatia national football team[edit]

Nominator(s): Animation is developing 02:50, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about the Croatia national football team and I think that this place has drastically improved since it was last reassess in 2008 and with stricter guidelines this might have a shot at being promoted via the hard work that @Domiy: has done to put it back up to the status that it is today.

Comments by Kees08[edit]

Not really intending on doing a full review and providing a support/oppose at the end of it. I did a quick read through and glanced at the sources and had a couple comments:

It would be nice (not sure if required?) if the sources used the trans-title field
One of the sources has some JavaScript jibberish and is clearly broken
Multiple links to Croatia Football Federation (one example, you should fix all that have multiple wikilinks)
Another citation has 'Daily Maildate=10 October 2006.', which is clearly an error with the citation template
The graph of FIFA ranking over time seems upside down; I would expect 1 to be at the top of the chart.

These are some generic examples to show you should go through the sources with a fine toothed comb and expand them as much as possible, verify they are working, and that they have no obvious errors. Kees08 (Talk) 03:18, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Coord note[edit]

Matt, the FAC instructions state that nominators must be among the article's main editors, and I can see only one recent edit from you. Nor can I find any discussion re. a FAC nom on the article talk page that involves you. Normally I would simply remove this as out-of-process but as Kees has taken the trouble to make some comments I plan to archive it so they remain. Note also that several statements in the article are unsourced; FAC standards require that at the very least every paragraph end in a citation (implying that everything in the paragraph prior to the citation is supported by the source -- more granular referencing may be required).
