User:The Rambling Man and I are undertaking to take this article to FA quality in the next few weeks. Apologies for any confusion during this period - there's a link to an unimproved (and unconfused) version of the article in the tag I've placed at the top of the article.
All collaborators in producing a quality article are welcomed. You can refresh your memory of the Featured Article criteria at WP:WIAFA.

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. [1] - NCFCQ ( talk) 12:56, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Of the various pictures in the Carrow Road cat at Commons ( [2]), I think this exterior view is the best one for the infobox. What do others think? -- Dweller ( talk) 15:17, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

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)
Hmm. More text - if justifiable, not just to help the images. Fewer images is less desirable - surely we need a picture of each stand. Infobox can only hold one. Anyone got a bright idea? How have other stadium FAs handled this? -- Dweller ( talk) 13:18, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

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)

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 [5] might work better? An external view perhaps? -- Dweller ( talk) 11:15, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

(Continuing)
These, although fairly numerous, are mainly quite minor points and can be easily fixed. I have made a few complimentary fixes myself. A more substantial concern, to me, is the over-reliance on verbatim quotes when a simple paraphrase is called for; this definitely needs looking at. Please ping me when you feel you've addressed these points. Brianboulton ( talk) 15:00, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

@ The Rambling Man: Following WP:BRD I'm staring this (short, hopefully) discussion. The link in [6] 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.

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)
