previous FAC

Failed previous FAC, due to copyediting/style concerns. (Big thank yous to User:Awadewit for the copyedting and for User:SandyGeorgia for the MoS assesement). All have been addressed. I feel this exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. All comments/concerns will be addressed. Thanks, Maxim_{(talk) (contributions)} 22:52, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

• Some comments. I've done a copyedit on the intro and first section. Minor issues:

• Is there a better way to phrase "most coveted" in the intro sentence?
• Is "official du jour redundant?
• Citation #7 doesn't refer to the Generals anywhere._{Sorry, made a mistake here} -Wafulz 00:41, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[[1] defines it as "highly sought-after"; that can work, but personally I prefer coveted. I like the word. :-) I've fixed the redundant de jure/offical part. But nothing about the Generals is being reference by citation 7. Maxim 01:21, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

• Support. There are some minor issues (overlinking comes to mind), but the article is written well enough.-Wafulz 19:30, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

• I think there should be something about the competition that this cup it awarded for. Also it's best to avoid see also sections if you can. Buc 09:07, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

• Since when is it best to avoid see also sections? They add useful links to the articles. Most featured articles have them--Phoenix-wiki (talk · contribs) 13:47, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

• That's not requirement for an article to be FA. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 07:09, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Yes having the links are fine but see if you can incorporate them into the article. Buc 19:23, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

I feel competition is covered throughly in the history section. Sorry for the tardiness. :'( Maxim 02:53, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
