Talk:Bramall Lane

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is part of WikiProject Sheffield United, an attempt to better organise articles based on Sheffield United on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, you can choose to edit this article, or visit the project page, where you can join the project and see a list of open tasks.

The article makes no reference to the fact Bramall Lane is now often referred to as "Beautiful downtown Bramall Lane" - I don't know who is responsible for that name (I think prematch announcer Gary Sinclair started calling it that), but it's become a common nickname.

Online, it tends to be abbreviated to BDTBL. It's a very Sheffield joke in many ways - there's nothing terribly beautiful about the lane, and "downtown" makes it sound like it's in some stylish quarter of Sheffield or something. 83.67.74.208 12:43, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Building Work Photo/s

I removed the photo simply becuase the building work has now been completed, and so, the photo is now out of date, and no longer applicable to the article. Hawksworthm 19:10, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Bramall Lane is a former good article candidate. There are suggestions below for which areas need improvement to satisfy the good article criteria. Once the objections are addressed, the article can be renominated as a good article. If you disagree with the objections, you can seek a review. Date of review: 30 November 2006

[edit] Failed "good article" nomination

This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of November 30, 2006, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: This piece was fairly well written, but clearly a direct cut and paste from EnglishPremier.Net thus violating copyright rules.

2. Factually accurate?: I'm sure it's accurate... but a cut and paste

3. Broad in coverage?: Thorough enough... but a cut and paste

4. Neutral point of view?: A bit biased towards Sheffield United

5. Article stability? Looks stable

6. Images?: Great images

When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration. Thanks for your work so far. --Jazznutuva 17:28, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I think that EnglishPremier.Net have copied from Wikipedia, and not the other way round. The article on EP.net is dated 31 July 2006 — long after most of the identical content was in place here. —JeremyA 18:21, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

EP.net is in no way an official website, and it would not surprise me in the slightest if they had indeed X&V from wiki (since wiki is a well-known site). But for this, would the article warrant GA status? OK, maybe a rewrite so it less pro-united (it is difficult to keep NPOV since we are all essentially writing about what we're interested in! I'll have a go anyway). L.J.Skinner_WOT?|^CONTRIBS 21:28, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm not against you resubmitting for someone else's review... it's just what I saw. It is no doubt a well structured article and I applaud you for that. Good luck in the future. Jazznutuva 22:29, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

It's an unattributed mirror which carries copies of several football articles from Wikipedia, and claims its own copyright. I've listed it at WP:MIRROR and emailed a Standard GFDL violation letter to the contact address given by a WHOIS. Oldelpaso 23:02, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
