message: I have passed the article, as I think it meets all the criteria, and is of a comparable standard to other sports team GAs. However, here are some ideas to improve the article further:
*Running through the article with a fine-toothed comb to improve the prose quality. Some useful advice for doing this is given at User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.
*Remove extra links for articles which are linked multiple times e.g. Manchester United is linked four times. Similarly, ensure all football club links are piped to remove the F.C. or A.F.C. from view.
*While not directly concerning this article, Hull City A.F.C. Reserves and  Hull City A.F.C. Juniors could be merged; both articles are stubs and there is some repetition.
*The picture of Boothferry Park could be better (assuming the ground is still standing) - trees and bushes make up more of the image than the stadium.
*The record league finish could be mentioned at the relevant point in the history section. Oldelpaso 17:49, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The section only had one name in it and it was not formatted correctly. It may be best to have a separate article on notable former players along the lines of List of York City F.C. players, which is a featured list, and then just have a section header with  template pointing to it.

message: I belive that the page would look more professional with the table, which is why I was wondering if you would be happy to revert back to the table, so long as the references which you mentioned were included in the new table. Dowietiger (talk) 20:15, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I like the look of the table too. Like I mention on your talk page, the only concern I see there is verifying the national flag icon correct for some persons in the list. As there likely isn't as much interest or need to know the nationality for other staff members as there is for players and managers, perhaps you could try the table format but leave out the national flag icons, while also leaving the current references in place.

text: Definitely looks better than the bulleted list and is consistent with the other sections now, cheers for that. I'd just suggest again working on getting in the habit of using the edit summary when saving an edit. Northumbrian (talk) 17:38, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

text: In this case, something like Moving current staff from bullet list format to table format for consistency would have been okay, or something else brief and accurate. You can look at the article's edit history to see how edit summaries show up there and get some ideas on how to write them (like Beve's recent edit to correct spelling, his edit summary just said spellcheck). Edit summaries also appear on people's watchlists, and a lot of other interested editors have this article on their watchlist (like I do), so they can see when people are editing it. Very often, vandals don't leave edit summaries, so someone making a lot of edits to an article without explanatory edit summaries on the article history or someone's watchlist might be a sign of possible vandalism. Anyway, just another reason for regular editors to make use of them. Thanks again. Northumbrian (talk) 21:08, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

text: Because the primary source given for that section is the Official Website "Who's Who" list. Steve Parkin is not listed there, so he is not listed in the section. That reason appears in the page's edit history under in the edit summaries. I'd advise checking the page's edit history to see the reasons given for specific edits in the edit summaries.

thread_title:  Current Staff 

message: With N. Pearson and his staff coming in and the summer transfer activity starting among the players, these sections in the article are going to need updating fairly often.
The primary source for both sections listed in the references is the club's official website (OWS):
*the Profiles page for the players
*Who's Who at the KC for the staff
A few staff members not listed on the OWS have their own references.
As has been pointed out, and as I acknowledge, the OWS isn't always updated in a timely manner, and can be out-of-date. For instance, as Beve points out on my talk page, Boateng and JVoH are indeed no longer with the club, but as of this moment, they are still listed on the OWS Profiles page. 
Personally, I don't find the delays in the OWS being updated to be troublesome; to me, this falls within the very first sentence of Wikipedia's Verifiability policy, and it's usually no longer than a day or two. However, if other editors want to updated the players list using secondary sources for player transfers, please feel free (for instance, Sky Sports' player list for the club is already up-to-date with regard to JVoH (but not Boateng)). Other editors' thoughts are welcome. Northumbrian (talk) 18:02, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Away kit

message: A discussion is being held here on the possibility of rolling out a new squad template. The new template, named , differs from the standard squad layout in several ways:
*It features a sort function
*Comes in a single column format that can be understood by screen readers.
**Single column format ensures that low resolution browsers, including mobile devices, do not get part or all of the second column cut off.
**Single column format ensures less clutter, particularly at lower resolutions, for wide sections such as the Arsenal loan section.
*It gives nationality its own column; at present flags are featured in a blank, untitled column
*It complies with Wikipedia's guidance on flag usage. 
*It leaves enough space to add images of current players, an example of which can be seen at Watford F.C#Current squad. 
It is proposed that the new template be added to some of Wikipedia's most high-profile club articles, which might include . To give your thoughts, please read and contribute to the discussion at WikiProject Football.

thread_title:  Third Kit 

message: I'm not certain if this has been raised before, I had a quick read through this talk page and saw some talk of it so I do apologise if I am just repeating old discussions.
I was wondering if this page could benefit from a "player milestone" section, similar to what is on the, very impressive, AFC Wimbledon page from here to here. Though for this page one could possibly change the "over 100 appearances" to a higher number considering the higher number of years Hull City has been around.

replies: text: There was a section for former players that was removed back in 2010 in order to get the article up to GA status, there is an earlier section above on this. The idea was to create an article on the players similar to the List of York City F.C. players but this did not get very far but could be resurrected. It was started at Talk:Hull City A.F.C./List of Hull City A.F.C. players with the intention of moving to article space once suitable. The user who started it does not appear to be around much.

I am aware of a fair few minor honours Hull City have won over the years, but I have far, far from the full list. If a full list can be found (I'm sure I've seen at least one somewhere on the internet) would it be worth including? Just a suggestion.

thread_title:  Club honour - minor honours, 

message: I recall reading that prior to Hull City AFC forming as a professional team in 1904, that the previous amateur team was established under the name 'Hull Comets' and that this club became Hull City. On some other teams wiki pages it will say:
Founded: 1892 as "previous name" Such as Bolton Wanderers F.C.
or
Founded: 1892 (originally as "previous name" in 1881)
Problem is that I have been unable to find any information about the Hull Comets other than that they became Hull City in 1904 (http://thebeautifulhistory.wordpress.com/clubs/hull-city/) "Hull City started out in life as Hull Comets and evolved into Hull City, when they turned professional in 1904". So the only way to possibly include this is to just mention it at the beginning of the 'Club History' section (like the article) and/or add - Founded: 1904 (previously/formerly/originally Hull Comets*)
*I still think a date here would look better, for example: Founded 1904 (formerly/originally Hull Comets 1884)
Again, just a suggestion and at very least could be added to the start of 'club history', for example:
Hull City Association Football Club was founded in June 1904. For some years previously, attempts had been made to found a professional football club, but this proved difficult because the city was then dominated by rugby league teams such as Hull FC and Hull Kingston Rovers. Only an amateur team known as Hull Comets (which became Hull City in 1904 when they turned professional) could be established.

text: Hi. There is a problem here, because the source that the article is using does not list either Cracknell or Wilson. Nor does Transfermarkt.co.uk (see here). This transfermarkt page identifies Cracknell as in Hull U19, not the main team. (Searching for Wilson there didn't help, as there's another Dougie Wilson). The best I could come up with was this listing at Sky Sports, where both are named but unnumbered. This at soccerbase lists Wilson's acquisition by Hull and brief loan to Grimsby, but does not resolve the question of inclusion in the squad. So this is looking a bit like original research, I'm afraid, as the sources used do not bear out the statement. Could you review please? --Stfg (talk) 18:46, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

The fact that the club's own web site (our main source) does not list these two players in the squad seems conclusive to me. @HullCityTiger33, we should distiguish between being in the squad and merely being on the payroll. You say they currently play in the reserve team. That may be different from being in the squad.

Surely this is inaccurate. I have no data to hand, but to my understanding, the club's holding company name has been changed to Hull Tigers - that is a business situation away from the team. The request to the FA was to change the playing name to Hull Tigers. The Ltd is a business suffix, and would not have been part of the club's request.

You have also had it explained why he is listed on the main page and not just the development squad, which you stated that, somehow, his nationality not being "good enough" in your opinion means he shouldn't be listed and then you ignore. Further proof can be found on the Hull City Official Site, the only site you have given your stamp of approval to, if you look up reserves/development squad match reports that clearly show that he is part of the squad. This matter has been discussed and fully explained to you countless times and you continue to ignore this, edit war, make up nonsense about being bullied, harrased etc and generally cause a nuisance.

I know Phelan had an epic caretaker spell, but I think it is more appropriate for this page to look at Phelan's era as a whole.
