message: Regarding the old South stand being on the north side of the ground - google maps would seem to suggest it is more towards the south-east. -NCFCQ (talk) 12:56, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  [Done] Jarrold stand/old South stand 

message: How easy would it be to include a map showing the ground in relation to station, river, cathedral, castle, main roads etc? --Dweller (talk) 11:37, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a good example of what you could do, now some OS maps are free... The Rambling Man (talk) 12:10, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello old fella. Nice to hear from you. Sounds good. How do I go about it? --Dweller (talk) 12:18, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey, not stopping, just passing!  I'm not entirely sure myself.  I'll have a play if I get a chance.  In the meantime, you could get in touch with the author of the Whitehaven image file?  The Rambling Man (talk) 13:04, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  [Done] Map 

message: Of the various pictures in the Carrow Road cat at Commons (), I think this exterior view is the best one for the infobox. What do others think? --Dweller (talk) 15:17, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:50, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: As no-one has disagreed in 5 years, I'm going to make the change. --Dweller (talk) 19:36, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: [Done] Infobox image 

message: I think a photo of each stand is a good idea, but we're not going to get enough text in each subsection to make them look right. Is this a case for a gallery? --Dweller (talk) 10:41, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Galleries (from memory) are often frowned upon at featured reviews... The Rambling Man (talk) 10:50, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: You could be right. How else could we cope with the problem? --Dweller (talk) 12:41, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: More text, or fewer images....?  Put a stand image in the infobox?  The Rambling Man (talk) 12:50, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

text: Other FAs (Portman Road, Priestfield Stadium) don't have a "Stands" section but "Structure and facilities" (with no individual subheadings) and they alternate images from side to side. Alternatively, maybe you could stack images using  or create a montage (on this basis, but better)? Or, get along there this evening take a  and have the benefit of seeing Scott Loach keep a clean sheet on his 100th league appearance! Rambo's Revenge (talk) 14:03, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: 111th? Thanks, some good ideas there. Sadly, I won't be at Carra Rud tonight, but my heart will be. --Dweller (talk) 14:19, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I fancy the Beeb on that stat actually! (Actually, turns out his 11 for Stafford were non-league. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 14:28, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. Interested in your views on the other questions on this page, too. --Dweller (talk) 14:29, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  [Done] Stand images 

message: Just a minor point about the schematic plan image of the ground. Technically the side boundaries of the G. Watling City Stand should be extensions of the side line of the pitch rather than the goal lines, since the Thorpe and Wensum corners are both part of this stand. -NCFCQ (talk) 11:14, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure I understand this comment and NCFCQ seems to be inactive, and has no email contact. --Dweller (talk) 09:18, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: OK. I get it. The diagram shows vertical lines marking the ends of the Watling, but they should be horizontal. , who do we know who could knock up a better schematic, maybe an amalgam of the old one and the more complex one you posted a link to, below? Do you know the chap that made the current image ;-) ?--Dweller (talk) 09:36, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll have to use some stuff at work for that, so I'll take a look on Monday, remind me if I forget! The Rambling Man (talk) 10:31, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Splendiferous. --Dweller (talk) 11:43, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

text: I need to get to this still.... The Rambling Man (talk) 13:09, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh goody. I think we're close to ready - see the to-do list. --Dweller (talk) 14:11, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

message: I think there are probably too many.
I also think the one in the infobox is not a good representation of "the ground" - which of the many currently at  might work better? An external view perhaps? --Dweller (talk) 11:15, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  [Done] Pictures 

message: Is this one worthy of inclusion:
:"Highest attendance (first home game of season, all-seater)"
Seems a little random to me. --Dweller (talk) 12:43, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Reference 2 is a deadlink, but not tagged as such. Reference 3 does not mention the capacity of the ground. I think we ought to fine toothcomb the refs, I'm afraid. --Dweller (talk) 10:39, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree; by the way, I fixed ref 2 by adding the archive.org archived link.  The Rambling Man (talk) 08:45, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  To-do 

message: I am carrying this out while the current FAC proceeds, and am leaving my comments here rather than cluttering the FAC page.
*Second lead para I would rephrase: "Carrow Road, named after the road on which it is located" → "The Carrow Road ground, named after the road on which it is located,..."
*:Good one. Done. --Dweller (talk) 12:14, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Excellent stuff and a good comment, picking up a flaw in my editing style, stemming, I think, from worrying about close paraphrasing. I'll review whether we can ditch some. --Dweller (talk) 15:03, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Prose review

message: Following WP:BRD I'm staring this (short, hopefully) discussion. The link in [] is dead.Or at least it is a soft 404, since it is redirecting to the home/main page, instead of the intended subpage (see the link) it was intended for, so ergo it is dead.

thread_title:  [[WP:BRD]] 

message: I was about to update the capacity using the 2015/16 Premier League handbook with their figure of 27,010, before realising that figure is lower than the 27,036 attendance recorded at the start of the season.  Either the Premier League have incorrectly recycled an old figure, or there were 26 Canaries perched on one of the stands ;) Mattythewhite (talk) 12:21, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Lol, . In the article, we have the official capacity as 27,244, a couple of hundred more than that highest all-seater attendance. --Dweller (talk) 15:11, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Ah, no it won't. The site is just a blog and wouldn't pass our criteria for a reliable source. I'd love to add the fact though. I'll do some digging and see if I can find RS. --Dweller (talk) 08:08, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
