I've listed this article for peer review because it has now reached a stage in which we can promote to become a FA in the future. The Copa Libertadores is the most important club tournament in the western hemisphere. Let's start talking about what we need to fix in order to achieve this goal. It would look great on the WIKIFootball project if we had a feautured page.

The most glaringly obvious thing that would need to be looked at is the severe lack of references. Only four sentences in the entire history section are referenced. At FAC, the reviewers would expect every sentence to be referenced. -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:53, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can't that be countered by providing direct links to more detailed pages of the sentences, which in turn, provides references? (which is the case here) Jamen Somasu (talk) 18:59, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean. I see you have added quite a few more references to the article, but as I mentioned above, an FA is expected to have a reference against everything...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:48, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

NVM what I said earlier. For now, I have nominated the page as a good article as a 2nd step. What else could the page possibly need to become a FA?? Jamen Somasu (talk) 10:34, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think I understand what you mean by "providing direct links to more detailed pages of the sentences, which in turn, provides references". You mean it is wikilinked to other article, and the relevant sentence is referenced there, right? If I haven't get you wrong, it is not a acceptable way to cite references. Reference should be cited on that page. So, if you really want to make it through FAC, then it means you better add the references back to Copa Libertadores from the page it links to.

Yes, you understand it correctly! And I took your advice (as well as those above) and created references for nearly everything on the page and I have even added a bibliography section. Please check it out now...I would really like to see what else it could possibly need to make it quality material to present it as a GA. If it gets approved, I will move it up to FA.

One thing to keep an eye on - according to the manual of Style, references should go after punctuation marks. All of yours seem to be before the punctuation marks..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:25, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip! I fixed it. Jamen Somasu (talk) 16:19, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I am seriously thinking of retiring the good article nomination to go ahead and nominate it as a FA. I have added 20+ more references, revamped a bit of the page and it looks great. What else could it possibly need? Any thoughts? Jamen Somasu (talk) 17:43, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
