Goodison Park Outline by df2k2

I can add this to the article if there is a shown interest.

I think I have to remove the image in the center, can anyone confirm?


I show interest. Oh ya and Goodison should have four stars from uefa. It classifies under four stars in theUefa Stadia Listings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Go everton (talkcontribs) 23:22, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Getting a bit out of control

This article is getting increasingly POV (phrases such as "first big rich club", "best club ground", "...steal the identity") with no citations to back up. Other, less contentious stuff, is also sorely lacking in sources. Dancarney (talk) 06:50, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

remove or tag them, and after tag if nothing provided the remove. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 17:04, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see nothing out of control. The page has been greatly enhanced over the past few days. It is far more professional. Point out what you consider contentious? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.66.56.141 (talk) 22:54, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I never stated that anything was contentious. However there have been a lot of additions of uncited material - see WP:CITATION. Many of these additions use language that does not adhere to Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. "Made Anfield an international standard ground..." what does international standard mean, particularly in the context of the 1890s? Goodison Park is described as "superior " with no citation. The Top Balc is decribed as having "enhanced" the Main Stand, with no citation. This is just a small selection. Dancarney (talk) 08:26, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If the ground hosts Internationals then it is international standard - obvious. England played Ireland at Anfield. So, that is sorted. No cite needed

GP was superior, the best in the world at the time, being purpose built. It hosted the FA cup final two years later and was covered on three sides (unheard of in those days). So, that is sorted too.

Everton were and are one of England's biggest and most successful clubs - no cite needed it is obvious, as the opening section gives the achievements.

Removed some POV tags as not POVs.

Inserted about the only map ever with Everton marked at Anfield and the terraces and stands (Pavilions) are shown too. It is just outside the city boundary with the boundary running at the back of the now Kop.
