FC Steaua Bucureşti[edit]

I've listed this article for peer review because I carefully studied the Wikipedia rules for a quality article and as far as I'm concerned the article basically complies with them. The article has been an FAC-candidate a few months ago but didn't make it mainly because I wasn't really clear with these rules back then. Neither did I reply to the comments as my Internet connection wasn't going too well, but this is not the case anymore. However, now I hope I learnt what is required and edited the page as requested by the quality rules.


Thanks,

Most of the FAC comments look to have been taken on board, and in terms of referencing this looks very good. However, the article could do with someone running through it to improve the prose. Comments:

  • Image:Lascar.jpg looks like it is not tagged correctly. For copyright to have expired for life of author + 100 years, the image must have been created in 1907 or earlier. Mihail Lascăr states that he was born in November 1889, meaning he was 17 in 1907, yet the image shows a decorated military figure, not a teenager.
    •  DoneReplaced wrongly-tagged image with a personal work. Vladi 15:33, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hyphens in date ranges should be replaced with endashes, see WP:DASH for details.
    •  DoneKind of boring job, but all done :) Vladi 16:09, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Stadium section: two previous grounds are mentioned in the history, a little information about them would be useful for this section.
    •  Done Don't know if I should write more, as they have their own pages. Still, I wrote a thing or two.
  • The history jumps from 1961 to 1974, and then from 1974 to 1984. What happened in the intervening periods?
    •  Done Problem solved
  • The biggest issue with the article is that of prose quality. There are many places where the phrasing is grammatically awkward or unnatural (e.g. The name Steaua translates The Star from Romanian and was adopted because of the presence, just like in any other Eastern-European Army team, of a red star (turned yellow now, to symbolize Romania's tricolour red, yellow and blue flag) on their crest.), incorrect (e.g. The floodlighting system was been inaugurated in 1991.), or, in some places, confusing (e.g. and, for this matter, their positions in comparison to the following ranked teams look solid.) I appreciate that resolving this is not an easy task for a non-native speaker of English. User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a gives useful advice, and the League of Copyeditors can provide help.
    •  Done Hope the new expressions don't lead to misunderstandings. Grammar errors were owed to exhaustive typing. :)
  • The number of external links should probably be reduced. See Wikipedia:External links for guidelines.
    •  DoneDone as well. Hope it's a decent number now. Vladi 16:09, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll correct all these items as soon as possible. Jesus, did I just write 'was been'? Vladi 15:16, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
