- Wikipedia:WikiProject Football, User:Oldelpaso, User:IanManka notified This is a Secret account 23:39, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
This article has a few problems:
- Referencing is not FA standard.
- Only 2 references in "Growth" section.
- "Qualification" section has no references.
- Only 1 reference in "Final tournament" section.
- Paragraphs 2 and 3 of "Selection of hosts" section has no references.
- Only 2 references in "World Cup summaries" section.
- "Successful national teams" section has no references.
- "Performances by host nations" section has no references.
- Only 1 reference in "Best performances by continental zones" section.
- "Awards" section has no references.
- Only 2 references in "Overall top goalscorers" section.
- "Fastest goals" section has no references.
- "Most tournaments appeared (players)" section has no references.
- "FIFA World Cup winning captains and managers" section has no references.
- The article is poorly organised. It has too many lists. Info like how well host nations do, the best Asian and African teams, the players who score 5 goals in the World Cup, who can score goals in 11 seconds, who played in 5 tournaments, is trivia and FAs should not have trivia. Also, the "Media coverage" section needs more info.
- The lead section is weak.
- Maybe the lead section needs some information about the trophy and "selection of hosts".
- "The most recent World Cup Finals were held between June 9 and July 9, 2006 in Germany, where Italy was crowned champion after beating France in the final, winning the penalty shootout 5-3 after the match finished 1-1 after extra time. Germany placed third after beating Portugal 3-1. The next World Cup Finals will be held in 2010 in South Africa, and the 2014 Finals will be held in Brazil." I think this is called recentism.
- I disagree with this. The Olympic Games has a similar statement in its lead paragraph, as well as other international sporting event articles. It gives information to the reader about the timeframe of where the cycle of the World Cup is currently and also who was the most recent champion with some details added for some flavor. If pressed, we could reduce the details of the match, but I think that it is interesting to note in the lead section without having the reader trying to hunt for the answer in the article. If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka 06:59, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- The lead section says "Since 1991, FIFA has also organized the FIFA Women's World Cup every four years" but there is no info about this in the rest of the article.
- At one point or another, I believe there was a brief section discussing the Women's World Cup, with a link to the appropriate article. It appears that this section has been removed. This should be re-added into the article. If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka 07:02, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
- The article needs a copy-edit but I cannot help because my English is not very good.

- Secret, I had encouraged Kaypoh not to add this nomination, because Kaypoh already has two noms running; are you willing to follow this one through and do the notifications, per the instructions at WP:FAR? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:40, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
