User:The Rambling Man and I are pushing this article to FA status. I'll take down the tag when we've finished doing major revamp work. Please do feel free to help with adding citations, fixing errors, challenging unsourced comments, etc.
A to-do list will appear below in due course. -- Dweller ( talk) 10:06, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

It'd be nice to add at least something about the nature of his role and the character, e.g. non-speaking/speaking, minor character, some explanation of who the character is supposed to be etc. -- Dweller ( talk) 11:44, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
The Escape to Victory section is a bit misleading. The cast had famous multinational footballers, mostly retired, and not-so-famous active Ipswich Town footballers. Wark was in the latter group, so mentioning him in the same sentence as Pele and Bobby Moore rather than, say, Kevin O'Callaghan, makes his appearance seem more impressive than was the case. jnestorius( talk) 22:30, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
-- Dweller ( talk) 13:56, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
I found a source that suggests Wark joined from Drumchapel Amateurs (which I presume is this team). [6]
The source also provides a brief overview of his career and mentions things like him reverting to centre-half, due to an injury crisis. Hope it's some help. I'd love to help more with this article, but am too busy IRL at the moment.

I realise it's a bit late to say this, but for the benefit of the readers of this encyclopedia, I suppose you wouldn't consider revamping the article in userspace, and adding each paragraph/section once it's approaching ready, rather than leaving the whole article in such a completely un-reader-friendly state for days (hopefully only days) on end? cheers, Struway2 ( talk) 19:45, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
What do people think of the link in the following:
"He played enough matches at the end of his first season to earn himself a Football League championship winner's medal."
Cheers, -- Dweller ( talk) 13:54, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
I've not edited the sentence yet! I was wondering if a link to FL champions was better, or possibly to an article about the medal. -- Dweller ( talk) 14:20, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
To-do:
These requirements apply to dates in general prose and reference citations, but not to dates in quotations or titles.
Anything I've missed? Add it. -- Dweller ( talk) 14:59, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
I think we could add something in personality/playing style about his disciplinary record, if we can find anything... -- Dweller ( talk) 11:10, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Isn't there some rule somewhere that says you can't wikilink in quotes? My links keep getting removed so shouldn't these? Spiderone 19:23, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
