message: En dashes should be used in scorelines and only full dates and dates with a day and month should be wikilinked, including in the footnotes. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dashes) and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers). Epbr123 20:54, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Dates & dashes

message: I've put it on hold it as WP:GA for the following reasons:
*Poor grammar throughout, "it's" instead of "its" for example, no spaces after commas.
*Mixture of proper citations and in-line references.
*Failure to use en-dash for season separators.

thread_title:  Zabeel Investments 

message: Can the following be explained as to why points deduction didn't occur? Thanks.
"Charlton Athletic are currently owned by a company called Baton 2010 Ltd, which is controlled by club chairman Richard Murray. A life-long fan of the south-east London side, Murray was forced to restructure Charlton Athletic this summer when Charlton Athletic plc was effectively wound up with debts of more than £30m.  Charlton Athletic Football Company, which owns the players, and Charlton Athletic Holdings, which owns the Addicks' stadium The Valley and the training ground, were transferred to Murray's new company in July." Imagine Reason (talk) 02:52, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: If you believe the progaganda, the majority of the debt was owed to the club's ertswhile directors. In the summer, they effectively wrote off their stake in the club and the monies they were owed and handed control over to Murray, under the guise of making the club easier to sell to other investors.

message: A short section was added, deleted, reinserted, and deleted again. I have re-added it. My justification is that, while over 200 clubs are affected by the scandal, Charlton is one of the few associated with a named alleged abuser. Articles about Crewe Alexandra, Peterborough United and Chelsea are other club articles mentioning their implication in the scandal due to associations with named abusers.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Hi all, I'm doing some work on the Benny Fenton article and am having trouble finding a source for something. I had previously cited this from an obituary on the 11v11 website, but it's disappeared and I can't find a replacement reference (just the bit in bold):
"In January 1977, he rejoined Charlton as secretary. He became assistant manager of the Addicks in March 1980 and progressed to the position of general manager in June 1981. He stayed in that post until June 1982."
If anyone can help with this, that'd be great. Thanks, Nzd (talk) 15:55, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

Seems wrong for them to be the only league club with no image. 
Sadly I'm not very good at the image uploading so if someone could look into it it would be appreciated.
