- Corrected everything from the last round; I'm now looking to get it promoted. I've made the names sortable (and an f-load of work that was, too, my wrist is about dead) and the constitutencies/parties; I didn't see the point of sorting the resignation date (since it is in order anyway). Referenced, bluelinked, absolutely complete. Comments? Apologies for my informal stylings, I'm about dead on my feet.Ironholds (talk) 05:14, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Dates should be sortable, as at the moment sortinmg by party (for example) puts them out of order, and they cannot be returned.Yobmod (talk) 11:53, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Ahh, good point. I'll do that now, then. Ironholds (talk) 15:32, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Right, done. Anything else? Ironholds (talk) 22:42, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- As far as i can see, the general reference does not give any reasons for resignation. If that is the case, i think they all need to be cited for this to be fearutred - ascribing motives to people without cites is dubious or looks like OR.Yobmod (talk) 08:27, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Fair enough, I'll get on to that. They come (mainly) from the articles on the MP's themselves, and the facts there aren't necessarily individually cited. I'll have to work on that bit now.
- Ja, i'm sure it can all be cited, but is an annoying job. If it takes a while, consider mine a conditional support if that will keep this nomination open longer (condition being citing the reasons as above).Yobmod (talk) 10:00, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- That was quick! consider me as a supporter.
- One tweek, can the date column be widened so they are all one line? (notes column seems to have enough space to spare).Yobmod (talk) 11:36, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Sure. They aren't all actually done yet, btw :P. I'm about 2/3rds through, I'll finish them off when I come back from lectures. Ironholds (talk) 11:41, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments Weak Oppose from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs)
- Many of the inline citations are not formatted and are missing info (publisher, last access date).
"Currently the positions of Steward of the Manor of Northstead" Comma after "Currently"."Appointment to an "office of profit under The Crown" disqualifies an individual from sitting as a Member of Parliament (MP)" Add "An" before "Appointment".- "
In order to circumvent this prohibition, a legal fiction is used." "Most references say that it was first used in this way" What is "it"?"The writ for the electing of a replacement was moved as if Chalmers had been appointed to the Chiltern Hundreds." Unclear.- The entire last paragraph of the lead is confusing; I don't understand the "alternation" of the two offices. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:47, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Don't you see that as "stuff to redo" rather than simply "reasons to oppose"? I'll work on it, but saying "here is a list of easily changeable reasons why I'm opposing" seems a bit odd.Ironholds (talk) 16:49, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I've done everything except the last para and the refs, which I'll work on. I'm not sure how to phrase the last para better, so maybe if I explain the principle here you can do a better job than I would; the positions are alternated in that if X, Y and Z resign, X will be appointed to the Chiltern Hundreds, Y to Northstead and then Z to the Hundreds. This is designed to allow multiple MP's to resign at once; if X and Y both want to resign at the same time, they are simply given the two different positions. If more than 2 resign at once (as in the case of X, Y and Z) then they would remove the first person to allow the third to resign, and so on. So if X, Y and Z want to resign, X is given Northstead, Y is given the Hundreds. X is then "fired" to free up the position, and Z is appointed. Ironholds (talk) 16:54, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The way you just explained it to me is the best way to rephrase it. Dabomb87 (talk) 18:02, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think this now passes the criteria in looks (I used the same format from a previous list) and utility (it's comprehensive and easier to use than the official lists). Planning to make a featured topic, this would be article number 3 in that.Yobmod (talk) 10:51, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Dillypickle (talk · contribs) 'Typos' ...eligible to be inducted into the "Hall of Fame" The novels category is...
- Missing full-stop
...were released is the predceding years.... ...were all released first published before... redundant 'Other' Be consistent with using the LGBT/GLBT initialisation. How are the awards decided, judging or voting? Citations number 3 and 14 have something wrong with them. References and notes not both needed, as one is empty. Dillypickle (talk) 11:03, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Fixed typos.
- Now using LGBT throughout, except in quote.
- Added sentence about judging.
- Fixed citations (cite name was wrong)
- Merged notes into references, with general and specific.
- Think that's all adressed there. Thanks!Yobmod (talk) 13:46, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not comfortable with "winners and nominees". Of the other "Awards" FLs, two are winners and nominees and the other eight are just winners. Truthfully, I don't see the value of listing six to ten entries when there's only one winner. Being a nominee might deserve mention in the book's article, or the author's, but I don't see how that fits our "Featured" model. But I could be wrong.
- I can add sources showing that SF magazine consider being nominated to be notable enough to be mentioned about individual works in reviews etc, and SF magazines that report on the nominees lists when released, but there isn't a good place to put it in this article (i'm putting things like that in the main article). As the official site and Locus both list nominees, i followed their judgemnet that these were something readers wanted to know.
- It differs slightly from other awards, in that who wins is not really the point - it provides a list of quality LGBT related works in a genre that has often ignored such, which is why nominees-short list get mentioned in reviews, unlike other minor SF awards.
- I copied the formatting from the featured list List of Academy Award winners and nominees for Best Foreign Language Film, which for a similar reason list all nominees (people interested in the winners are almost certinly interested in thenominees in such a specialist catergory.)
- Fe also have featured list of only submissions for media awards (like this, which i think is not notable at all), and lists for musicians etc. that include all their nominations so far. (btw, there are dozens of awards featured lists - this is not the main article for the award, that one only lists winners. Should i rename to "List of..."? I thought it would be too long!)
- Final point (promise!): I wasn't completely indiscriminate, the long list of nominees is also available on the list, and i maybe 10 - 20 times longer. Those i agree are not notable, and getting to the long list is never mentioned in professional magazines.Yobmod (talk) 15:35, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm going to retract this comment. I've just reviewed many of the FL awards lists and there are several that include nominees. And your points are good ones. Never mind :)
- And i though i wrote too much, but i was way to caffeinated to order my thoughts properly;-).Yobmod (talk) 20:43, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm going to retract this comment. I've just reviewed many of the FL awards lists and there are several that include nominees. And your points are good ones. Never mind :)
- I think the section heading "Hall of Fame Novels" needs a small "n".
- done.
- You currently have three indicators for "winner" - bold, lavender color, and the word "Won". That's overkill, in my opinion. If you're going to have winners and nominees both in the list, you really only need the background and the "Result" column.
- OK, i'll unbold them. Done.
- Authors need to be sorted by last name - use the {{sortname}} function to do that - or ask me if you have any questions.
- best advice i've gotten for ages - i'll try and figure out how to do. Thanks!Yobmod (talk) 15:43, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Likewise the "Book Title" column needs to make use of the {{sort}} function.
- Is this just to sort them without the preceding article (the and a)? I've now done that (so The Virtu sorts to V, not T).Yobmod (talk) 21:19, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Should the "T" of "Book Title" be capitalized? I'm thinking not, but I could be wrong about that.
- done. Is a bad habit from learning German and UK schooling :-).
- The "Publisher" column should be wikilinked where available.
- Done all that have pages, and linked imprints without pages to the parent publisher (eg. Eos to Harpercollins).Yobmod (talk) 20:43, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Reverse the phrase:
- LGBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender)
- to say
- lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT)
- done.

I am co-nominating this list with User:ThinkBlue, me and her have expanded this list for about a year now and we now feel it satisfies WP:WIAFL. Note, Solie.org (which is used as the general reference) is not reliable as a whole, but is reliable in this context because it is using information from the book "Royal Duncan & Gary Will Wrestling Title Histories (Archeus Communications) [4th Edition 2006] ISBN 0-9698161-5-4" which is a reliable book of reference. We just felt it would be better to have a published link to the information than just referencing the book itself. Any additional comments will be addressed.--TRUCO 22:58, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong support - much work has been put into this article, I can tell you that. I've seen them working on it forever and myself sitting in the background going "this is a fail article ;) " but I was wrong.

- The explanations for "Reigns," "Event," and "—" in the table key do not require periods at the end since they are not complete thoughts.
- The sorting needs to be fixed for the number column so that reigns with em-dashes appear in the correct chronological order. Presently, the numbers are correctly sorted, but the em-dashed reigns are grouped at the top or bottom of the list when sorted.
- There is no date or "N/A" for reign #119.

Q: Why does this article exist, if a more comprehensive article with ALL awardees is already featured?Yobmod (talk) 10:13, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A: It isn't unheard of. Woody's done something similar with the Victoria-Cross pages, splitting them according to nationalities, service-branches, and wars. Cam (Chat) 06:02, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Indeed, I have. You cannot get this list of recipients from the main article. They list different things, they are separate areas of study. The main list shows all the recipients, by which grade they received. I can see the point about duplication with List of Knight's Cross recipients of the Kriegsmarine. Indeed, wasn't the Schnellboot service part of the Kriegsmarine, so all information in this list is included in the Kriegsmarine list? Are there any specific reasons for duplication? Woody (talk) 15:03, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- My main motivation for breaking these recipients out is that two groups stand out when looking at the KC recipients of the Kriegsmarine. The first and largest group were those men that served on German U-boats (see List of Knight's Cross recipients of the U-boat service). The second but smaller group came from the Schnellboot service. Together they comprised roughly 55% of all the Kriegsmarine recipients. The remaining 45% are a mixed bunch of people, some came from destroyers, auxiliary cruisers, battleships, Naval infantry, etc. MisterBee1966 (talk) 08:58, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- One more thing, "This is a list of head coaches of the Portland Trail Blazers" -> "Portland Trail Blazers"—Chris! ct 16:47, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs)
- "The Portland Trail Blazers are an American professional basketball team that plays in the Northwest Division of the Western Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Based in Portland, Oregon,"-->The Portland Trail Blazers are an American professional basketball team based in Portland, Oregon. They play in the Northwest Division of the Western Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA). I'm not just suggesting that you should change it to the other way because that is what other head coach FL lists do. It's also because the way it is now, the first sentence has way too much jargon for the uninformed reader (Northwest Division, Western Conference, and NBA). The lead sentence should just establish definition and notability: " American professional basketball team" provides the those elements, "Portland, Oregon" provides context (location). Anything more is too much.
- "The Trail Blazers has also sold" "has"-->have.
- ". Mike Schuler and Mike Dunleavy have been named the NBA Coach of the Year, in 1986–87 and 1998–99 respectively, with the Trail Blazers." Extra period at the beginning of the sentence. "have been named the NBA Coach of the Year"-->won the NBA Coach of the Year Award.
- "currently" (used twice in lead)—against MOS (See WP:MOS#Precise language, and is unnecessary because the use of the present tense conveys the "currently" information anyway. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:50, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- "The Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador is the first minister" Shouldn't "First Minister" be capitalized? This term is overlinked, by the way.
- "An election may also take place if the governing party loses the confidence of the legislature, by the defeat of a supply bill or tabling of a confidence motion." No comma needed.
- "Newfoundland and Labrador has had several Prime Ministers and Premiers as its head of governments since 1855." Once again, much of this information is repeated in greater detail in the next sentence.

- Remove the self-reference "see asteroid moons and Trans-Neptunian moons." – it wouldn't make sense when printed on paper, would it?

- Wouldn't this be better as a long sortable list, with a field for planet? The small seperate tables (with only one or two entries) don't pass the attracitvness criteria for me.Yobmod (talk) 12:35, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- That wouldn't really work, because each moon is ordered first by its planet and then by its distance from the planet.Serendipodous 13:32, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- This was one of the reasons I was hesitant to submit this as a featured list when I was working on it. There are a number of other lists of moons scattered around wikipedia, ordered by different things, and there are also lists on some of the "Moons of ..." pages for some of the planets. See Template:Solar System moons (compact). These ideally need to be unified somehow, or at least better organized, which is a task that put me off working on this list. Mike Peel (talk) 14:19, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- They are being organised. That's what I'm working on. The Moons of... articles are being promoted to featured status and incorporated into planetary subtopics of the Solar System featured topic. But the FT reviewers also demanded a subtopic for featured lists, so I've been going around attempting to bulk up and consolidate the lists. Serendipodous 15:04, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The distance can also be used to sort, no? And if the entries are written in planet then distance order, this is how the table would initially present itself anyway. But the combined sortable list would have the advantage of letting readers easily see what the 10 biggest are etc.15:25, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
- OK, but it would effectively render List of moons by diameter meaningless. Serendipodous 17:58, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Comments
- The last sentence in the lead snakes confusingly; it implies the telescopes are irregular.
- "Note that for a brief time in 1974, Mercury was thought to have a moon." Could this be "For a brief time in 1974, however, Mercury was thought to have a moon" or something similar? There's no need for the prose to be overly dry.
- "2002 AA29[4];" ← move citation to after punctuation.
- "however these do not count as moons as they do not orbit Earth." I think this would sound nicer rejigged as "however, since they do not orbit Earth, they are not considered moons."
- General question: is it normal to write out long numbers like you do (123 456)? I've only ever seen 123456, 123,456 and 123.456 before.
- "putting the maximum size of any other satellites at 0.9 km" ← is this in diameter? I'm probably just being a layperson here.
- Maybe you should point out that Ceres, Haumea and Makemake aren't standard planets.
- "with two isolated in space" is unclear.
- Jupiter has a nice little introduction, but none of the other planets do afterwards. Saturn, for instance, should surely have one, if not all the others.
- The text on Makemake is unclear to the layman.
- "but is expected to be of order 100 km" is unclear.
- Am I supposed to know what "Other TNOs" refers to?
I hope these comments help. Seegoon (talk) 16:24, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've nominated this awards list for Featured List status because I feel it is of quality, and I have corrected problems addressed in a recent peer review session.

- He has released five albums of original music: Rufus Wainwright (1998), Poses (2001), Want One (2003), Want Two (2004), and Release the Stars (2007). - what does original music mean here? Is there a link for this term, or can it be elaborated.
- "Original" as in songs he has written himself. This is to differentiate his own five studio albums from his live tribute album, Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall (where he sings standards written and composed by other lyricists and composers). Whataworld06 (talk) 22:00, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Several of Wainwright's singles have appeared on the UK Singles Chart, including "I Don't Know What it Is" which peaked at #74, "Hallelujah" which peaked at #100, and "Going to a Town" which peaked at #54. - because you haven't mentioned the UK before, it should be spelled out as "United Kingdom" (even if the chart's name is UK _____

- In 1993, Atlas joined ethnic electronica group Transglobal Underground as lead singer and belly dancer. - +the before "lead singer"
- After the above sentence, it is not stated how she gained prominence solo, it should be noted.
- I don't know what else to put. She's famous for her own solo recordings and she never left Transglobal Underground. Throughout the years she has provided vocals for their albums and singles. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 18:50, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The album, composed of traditional Arabic and electronic music, reached number one hundred and twenty-three in the United Kingdom. - because the ranking was in a three digits place, it should be in number format versus words (i.e. #100), since it is distracting to read a big number like that in word format.
- In the UK, the album reached number one hundred and twenty-eight. - number as well.

Comments Looks really good. My only complaint is with the prose of introduction paragraph. It goes into alot of detail about each album, but nothing else. No singles, compilation albums, etc. I would forgo going into so much detail about those (who she collaborated with doesn't come up in the list proper, so why should it come up in the introduction), and mention a larger variety of stuff.

- Looks good, so I'm happy to support. However, I do have one more language-based suggestion: the lead is very year-heavy. Most of the sentences begin or contain some form of "In 2002", "In 2004", etc. Try to mix it up, ie "A year later", "The following year", "After a two-year hiatus", etc. It will help it read a little less mechanically.

- In the image caption of Rudy Tom, it says, "Rudy Tomjanovich is statistically the Rockets' most successful coach." Can you make it more specific more the readers? How bout, "Rudy Tomjanovich has the most wins as a Rockets' coach." or something similar. It shouldn't be most successful since he doesn't have the highest winning percentage.

Oppose/Review by SRX
- However, after four losing seasons,[2] the team was sold to a group of investors based in Houston.[1] - it's not grammatically correct to start a sentence with "However."
- I reviewed a list like this before, main reason I oppose; something about the coaches history should be added, like who was the first one, which one led the Rockets to a NBA title? It should also be explained how GMs are different from Coaches, and what they do, and their history.SRX 21:10, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- With regard to your second point, why do I have to talk about the GMs since this list is about coaches? Also, none of the other coach list talk about the GMs, why should I do that with this list? I don't understand your oppose at all since everything else is easy fix.—Chris! ct 21:31, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment
- VTA light rail is one of the largest light rail systems in the United States in terms of ridership. - Ranked #14, I don't believe this sentence is accurate. To the contrary, I believe VTA light rail has been roundly ridiculed for its anemic ridership. --Millbrooky (talk) 16:47, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Sentence removed—Chris! ct 17:03, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Serving over 32,978 passengers a day - VTA light rail serves more passengers than the exact number of passengers it serves? While technically correct as the latest APTA report says VTA is serving 34,000 passengers per day, perhaps it would be better to just say 32,000 or "as of FY 2007." --Millbrooky (talk) 17:23, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looks pretty good - Comments
- The first two sentences are slightly difficult to read with their repetitions of "Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority" - there is a third "Santa Clara" too. You also have "light rail" twice close together in the first sentence. Perhaps you could have some other facts (e.g. total system length) as a second sentence to break it up a bit.
- The system history summary is pretty good but what does jar is describing a new extension as being built "toward X station". To me it gives the impression that the station was sitting there waiting for the light rail tracks to be built to it. I think that simply replacing "toward" by "to" would work.
- "The system currently operated 62 stations" - should be "operates" or more simply "has" as I am not sure that a system can operate things.
- In the table I don't think that the "Lines" column should be sortable as quite a lot of cells contain more than one element.
- It would be nice if, in the photograph captions, the station depicted was linked to. I am not sure that "station platform" and "tramway tracks" need to be linked. The latter one is especially confusing as the system is described as "light rail" and not a tramway. The phraseology "the X station" also seems strange to me but I think that this is more of an AmEng thing.

- Thanks!Yobmod (talk) 18:40, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
For the colours, you need symbols (such as * ¤ ‡ †) also. Writing the name of the colors does not help color blind readers.Dabomb87 (talk) 19:47, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]- But the colours only enforce the info given by bolding the winners and writing win/nom. Colourblind readers would have no trouble with it: This is not a case of colours being used as the only method to distinguish the winners. Plus colourblind people can distinguish between lavender and white. Even blind readers will have the info, due to it being written out. What would be the benefit of using symbols as a 4th way? or am i missing something on the guideline page (i'd never seen it before, but don't see any requirment for symbols with colours). btw I changed the grey to green to give better contrast, if that's a problem.

"Ensure that colour is not the only way used to convey important information." (from WP:COLORS). For the rows with the green background color (which is much better than grey by the way), use a symbol. For the rows with white background, don't add any symbol and mention in the legend that the past nominees' rows don't have a symbol.Dabomb87 (talk) 14:05, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]- Never mind, I see what you are saying; the colors are associated with the text.Dabomb87 (talk) 14:11, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Still surprised not to see the flag anywhere
- Why do we need a picture of the flag? We have one of the governor. Does every article regarding the state or government of Arizona require a flag, regardless of its relevance? --Golbez (talk) 01:31, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Having the notes section smack dab in the middle of the list violates MOS:SECTIONS and WP:LAY#Standard appendices. I understand that other FLs have this issue, too, but IMO that's inappropriate.

Weak oppose. Assuming a half term is shorter than a whole one, the terms does not sort poroperly. Sorting gave me 1,2,3, then the fractions.Yobmod (talk) 15:24, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- and struck my oppose. Guess i'll weak support now (weak cosi've only done a cursory review).Yobmod (talk) 18:00, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- If the notes that make specific claims (eg: he dies, he took job elsewhere) are cited, i'll strike the weak too (not becaue they are controversial, but for making finding the info easier).
- Everything that is not easily visible in the primary resources (mainly, the NGA link) is specifically cited. If I had a cite for every "he died", then there would be a lot of duplicate "he died"s. Now, if the primary sources contradicted, I would of course make a note of that and cite things - but in this case, they don't. --Golbez (talk) 16:00, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Is there a reason for bolding parts of those 3 citations? It makes them stick out a lot, can they not be italic or normal text?Yobmod (talk) 10:28, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Not my fault; blame the people who designed {{cite encyclopedia}}. --Golbez (talk) 16:00, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Also agree that a flag would look good (not necessarily instead of lead image, but in addition, if there is room). Also, is there not a footer navbox for arizona or arizona politics? 2 footers is not too much to have at all, and would autocolapse themselves, and would certainly make it easier for interested readers.Yobmod (talk) 10:31, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Still see no place for a flag that would look any better than "We just threw a flag on this article without regard for context". As for a footer, I agree; I've added an AZ footer. It's not great, but until there's an AZ government footer, it works. --Golbez (talk) 16:00, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Some references need to be formatted.
- "Martin, [1] (Arizona" – the URL has no title
- "Robinson, William Morrison (1941). "april+2-5"+1860+owings&as_brr=0&ei=Wa7ySKDaMZX8ygTCvcnZAw&pgis=1 Justice in Grey: A History of the Judicial System of the Confederate States of America. Harvard " – busted reference?
Gary King (talk) 20:38, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Alright I went ahead and fixed these myself. They were broken for reasons that might not be obvious at first glance. Gary King (talk) 20:43, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I removed periods from notes that were non-sentences.
- I found a few "state secretary of state" and shortened them to "state secretary". I hope that's still correct.
- I changed them to "secretary of state", since I don't need to specify it was the state one. --Golbez (talk) 07:36, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Besides the above, though...
- The page provides a useful history lesson, but it needs references.
- The "Most of the area that became Arizona was originally part of the Mexican territory of Alta California." paragraph
- I trimmed the first sentence ; part of it may or may not have been part of Santa Fe de Nuevo Mexico, so rather than complicate matters, I just said it was part of Mexico. Graf sourced.
- "Arizona Territory was formed on February 24, 1863" paragraph
- Sourced.
- For the "for" note below the list, perhaps use this instead, and maybe it should be placed at the top of the page instead: {{for|governors of the same region before the Arizona Territory was formed|List of Governors of New Mexico}}
- That would be a bad place, because it offers no context. Hatnotes need to disambiguate based directly on the name of the article; for example, if there were an article on Arizona Territory's governors, then a hatnote might be useful. But in that case, a certain context is required to let the reader know *why* we care about New Mexico Territory's governors. Also, it's an effort to keep all of these lists looking similar; for something like Colorado, we'd have some very crowded hatnotes (Governors of Kansas, New Mexico, Utah, Idaho, and Texas). --Golbez (talk) 07:36, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- The team began playing in 1960 as a charter member of the American Football League, and joined the NFL as part of the AFL-NFL Merger. - the American Football League should have the acronym in parenthesis, since it is mentioned in the part about the merger.
- Mike Shanahan is the franchise's all-time leader for the most regular season games coached (208), the most regular season game wins (130), the highest winning percentage in the regular season (.625), and the most playoff game wins, with eight. - I think it should be consistent, so instead of saying with eight write it as (8) like in the other statistics.
- Shanahan, with Dan Reeves, are tied for the most playoffs games coached (13). - how about Shanahan and Dave Reeves are tied for...
- Since I was talking about Shanahan on the two sentences before, that is why I putted with Reeves. -- SRE.K.A

- I think "Shanahan, with Dan Reeves, are tied for the most playoffs games coached (13)" would read better as "Shanahan and Dan Reeves are tied for the most playoffs games coached (13)".
- I think the comment for Red Miller should note that he won the AFC championship in 1977.
- I concur. The reason I didn't put the AFC championship on is because there is no list called, List of AFC champions. -- SRE.K.A
nnoyomous.L.24[c] 02:32, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]- Is such a Wikipedia list necessary to include the information in the comments section of the table?

- Dennis Leonard (1980) and Bud Black (1985) were the Opening Day starting pitchers when the Royals played in the World Series, and they had a combined Opening Day record of 1–1. - once again with the last names, they have been mentioned already.

- I understand why you included commissioners during the periods when the Territories didn't have an elected legislature, but I'm not sure if I agree with the inclusion of the Lieutenant-Governors. The LGs are vice-regal positions, and if you are going to mix up viceroys with heads of government, the list should probably be under a different name. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 18:49, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- This list should start with the head of the first council, if there was one, not the first council viceroy. If there was no head, we should start with the head of the first assembly, which I guess would be Robert Brett. The lieutenant-governors should be in List of lieutenant-governors of Northwest Territories, which itself should probably be merged with Commissioners of Northwest Territories. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 20:10, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- From the looks of the sources, the people labelled as commissioners and premiers were just that. Therefore, this list should only include Frederick W. A. G. Haultain and the post 1980 premiers. The rest of these people should be moved to Commissioners of Northwest Territories, as the two titles are very different in their formal placement within the government, even if they were performing the same jobs.

- "the Canadian Confederation" No "the", per your comment in another FLC.
- "Since the Northwest Territories has a consensus government, the Premier is elected by and from the members of the Legislative Assembly, and are not divided into parties." "Since"-->Because.
- "The Northwest Territories has had several Lieutenant Governors, Commissioners, and Premiers as its head of government since 1870. It was led by three of Manitoba's Lieutenant Governors, two of its own Lieutenant Governors, two Chairmen of the Executive Committee, and ten appointed governing commissioners." I think the first sentence is redundant and vague because the second sentence provides the same information as the first and goes into more detail.

- "recognized" is American spelling I believe, not "recognised", and I think this article should use American spelling since three of the four championships are American.

- "The franchise won their only NBA championship in the 1971 NBA Finals while coached by the franchise's first coach, Larry Costello." → I suggest instead "The franchise won its only NBA championship under the leadership of its first coach, Larry Costello." to fix some of the redundancy issues that sentence has.

- If you are going to lead with the sentence "There have been 16 head coaches for the Milwaukee Bucks franchise," then "head coaches for the Milwaukee Bucks" needs to be bold and unlinked. I would suggest leading the article thus:
- "The Milwaukee Bucks are an American professional basketball franchise based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, playing in the Central Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The team has played their home games at the Bradley Center since 1988.[1] The Bucks are currently owned by Herb Kohl, with John Hammond as their general manager. Since the team was formed in 1968, there have been 16 head coaches for the franchise."

- Comments: The list looks like a good start and is close to FL status. Here are a few things that stood out to me.
- Lead
- The first sentence seems a bit miss leading to me; mainly because I associated "One Piece" to a manga/anime series. I would tweak it to say "The One Piece video games series is published by..."
- Done. -- Goodraise (talk) 18:40, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Another minor tweak. Feels redundant and just sounds weird to me: "The g
Gamesof the One Piece serieshave been released..."- Done. -- Goodraise (talk) 18:40, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- List
- I think I understand the comment about empty space now. However, I think this is a result of the content rather than the format. A sortable table won't use the space much better.
- Are there any other interesting tidbits about the specific games? Did one introduce something new and different to the series? Does one have any interesting fact about its development?
- I don't know. I didn't even play the games. Most of the games don't even have an article of their own. So there's no easy way of drawing information from. -- Goodraise (talk) 15:25, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, I think the publisher and developer comments can be combined into one statement. This will give the sentences more length and reduce some of the empty space to the right.
- Done. -- Goodraise (talk) 15:25, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- If need be you can remove the {{-}} template to cut down on empty space too. Some editors don't like them, but I don't think they're a problem.
- Removed most of them. I only added them in the first place to mirror the appearance of List of Castlevania titles. -- Goodraise (talk) 18:40, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Are there any other interesting tidbits about the specific games? Did one introduce something new and different to the series? Does one have any interesting fact about its development?
- Why is Battle Stadium not just a "Related game"? I remember it featuring characters and elements in a basic manner like the Jump Star games.
- Hope these comments help. The list is looking good and I'll be happy to support once these issues are addressed. (Guyinblack25 talk 17:13, 11 November 2008 (UTC))[reply]
- I don't know what you mean by "basic manner", but the "O." in "Battle Stadium D.O.N" stands for "One Piece", the "D." for "Dragon Ball", and the "N" for "Naruto". The playable characters and stages, like the title, are close to equally shared among the franchises. While Jump Ultimate Stars and Jump Super Stars feature characters from a wide variety of sources, like Super Smash Bros., Battle Stadium only draws from these three, more like X-Men vs. Street Fighter. However, that's just my subjective way of sorting the games and I wouldn't mind changing it, if this explaination is not convincing. -- Goodraise (talk) 18:40, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry for the late reply, I didn't notice your question. I guess I've just always looked at the games (D.O.N. and Jump Stars) as the same type. Mainly because they are games focused on Shonen Jump characters with no real plot elements from any one series. The main difference I see is that DON focuses on just three series instead of 20+. I think a combining them into a single section titled "Other titles" would simplify things. I would also add details in the notes sections about what specifically relates them. Maybe number of characters, mention there are stages based on the anime, etc. (Guyinblack25 talk 15:32, 13 November 2008 (UTC))[reply]
- Done. (Don't worry about replying late. I did not expect a reply until I was done with the other issues. At that point I would have left you a message. Unfortunately, my hands are a bit fuller right now, than they were during the first two FLCs. This list has been up here for so long now...) -- Goodraise (talk) 15:25, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Further comments:
- Citations
- I noticed there are a good number of references for some non-controversial content. I'd say two refs are perfectly fine and that some of the first party sources don't add anything extra to the list.
- With the exception of reference [2] I used references I already had for everything they covered. That was in the early stages of that article. At that point I did not care about the visual appeal. Since then, as removing them is a lot easier than putting them back in, I left them where they are. Do you think I should remove excessive references? -- Goodraise (talk) 22:36, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I tweaked the placement of citations to cut down on some of the excess, specifically the publisher/developer info. I did about half of the article as an example.
- Done. (With 2 exceptions related to 2nd next issue.) -- Goodraise (talk) 23:42, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I would argue that if a game was released on a single platform, then a citation isn't that necessary; the citation of the release date normally has that info anyway. But that's just me and it is not a deal breaker by any means.
- Left it as is for the moment. As long as it's only one reviewer suggesting this, I'd rather not have to put it back later. -- Goodraise (talk) 23:42, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Content
- For One Piece: Pirates' Carnival, I think the discrepancy between the two publishers (Bandai and Namco Bandai) is because the game was released in North American after March 31, 2006 when Namco and Bandai merged. I think this should be clarified in the notes and the lead. Something like, "Most of the games were originally published by Bandai. Following the merger of Namco and Bandai in March 2006, the series has been published under the Namco Bandai name."
- Now, this is a bit tricky. I've carefully (maybe too carefully) tried not to do original research. Most of the games were released by Bandai Games, which was later renamed to Namco Bandai Games. The sources however don't refer to it under either name. They say Bandai (which still exists as a subsidiary of Namco Bandai Holdings) or Namco Bandai (which could mean either Namco Bandai Games or Namco Bandai Holdings). So instead of deciding which company a source is actually refering to, I only copied whatever name they used. - More generally speaking: In the opening sentence of the lead, I said the games were "published by subsidiaries of Namco Bandai Holdings". That way I don't have to use words such as "most", because all the companies: Bandai, Bandai Games, Namco Bandai Games, and even Banpresto fall into that category. I am not sure if the average reader of the list wants to be informed in such detail about the Namco Bandai Group's inner structure. But if it is desired, then I can elaborate, no problem. -- Goodraise (talk) 23:42, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Other than these small issues, I'd say the list has shaped up nicely. Keep up the good work. (Guyinblack25 talk 16:06, 14 November 2008 (UTC))[reply]
- I think the extra refs amount to overkill and can be distracting. One Piece: Grand Battle! 3 for example. My eyes are drawn to the refs instead of the content.
- Now that you mention it, I think explaining the merger is unnecessary and may confuse more than it informs.
- Other than the refs issue, the list looks good. (Guyinblack25 talk 05:32, 16 November 2008 (UTC))[reply]
- Fixed. I removed 30 citations from only 3 title entries. I suppose it was a bit much. -- Goodraise (talk) 06:55, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support: The list has definitely improved and my main concerns have been addressed. Though I think the article still has some minor room for improvement here and there. But I still believe it meets criteria in its current form. Good job. (Guyinblack25 talk 16:41, 16 November 2008 (UTC))[reply]

- comments. The album / compilation tables look very squat, with all that info piled into the one "release" box for each. can't some (or all) of that be seperated into seperate columns, eg. a column for release date and others. Then boxes would not look so vertically streched and wouldn't have to have "release date" written out each time. That's exactly what a table is good for! Would weak oppose now, based on layout, but would support if more columns added to those tables.Yobmod (talk) 21:47, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- That's the recommended format per MOS:DISCOG actually. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 15:27, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Ja, but i don't think a proposed guideline should be reason to feature ugly lists. The guideline makes sense for tables that have a lot of chart results, so would be difficult to fit more columns into. In this case it would be senseless to force a (proposed) guideline to the detriment of an article. The AIR disclaimer on the page notwithstanding, the Discog guys seem more interested in creating one-size-fits-all rules, with no recognition that different artists have different outputs, so need different lists. Still opposing on style grounds.Yobmod (talk) 15:39, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support, with a few small notes:
- Why the small font for the info in the album column? Since it's bullet-pointed, the small font doesn't actually make the space any smaller, just the words harder to read.
- "which was a #2 on the country charts" weird passive voice. What about "which peaked at #2 on the country charts." Also, which country charts?

support. Is nice to see an episode list that focuses on real world info instead of plot dumps. Couldn't find anything to object to. Was concerned about lack of cites for air dates, but they are in the general references and easy to find on one page, so cites can be left out.Yobmod (talk) 21:39, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks :) At one time, we did have cites for air dates, but we removed them and put them in the General References section for two reasons. One was because the table was getting a bit crowded. The other was because previously, it was a mixture of US airdates and international airdates, and removing the cites and converting to US air dates helped standardize the table. - NuclearWarfare contact meMy work 22:31, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- "The extreme points of Sweden include the points" points-->coordinates.

- It is located in the reserve so I changed it to that in the Kristianstads Vattenrike Biosphere Reserve article.

Oppose because Sweden sucks at hockeyComment Nice work, but is it possible that you could replace the Swedish refs with English ones? It should be okay if you don't, but it would be nice if you could. Also, why are there three citations for each line?

Another Guitar Hero songlist, this for the most recent Guitar Hero World Tour. Format attempts to follow the previous games' songlists, with a note that the second table will continue to grow as more downloadable content is added so I'm making sure the form is appropriate for this.

- The game was released in October 2008 on the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360 game consoles. - released where? Only in the U.S. or where?
- There needs to be in the lead some statement as to why the series and this game is so popular, as in other video game lists.
- In the main setlist, one of the songs has a "(unplugged)" - what does this mean?
- In addition to custom songs, players of the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii versions will be able to download new licensed songs for the game. - this should be in past tense.
- What source is verifying the release dates for the DC?
- Why is the color for the column names different from the main setlist?

- The popularity of the series is covered in the main game articles and hasn't been a part of the other GH songlists; I did note what reviewers thought of the setlist, however, to give this some mention of impact. The dates for DLC are confirmed with the references on the pack names. Given that there is no indefinite point where the DLC will stop becoming available, I don't know if the {{future}} tag is appropriate - the list is changing, but most of what is stated in the article is fixed. --MASEM 02:01, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- And missed one question: there is no specific information of why Nirvana's "About a Girl" is listed as (unplugged), but I can speculate this is the version from the famous "Nirvana Unplugged" show on MTV - I can't confirm that, however, so it simply is listed as it is in the game (though it should be inside the quotes). --MASEM 14:39, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- In response to the first reply, it does not matter, there needs to be some background to show notability of the series, and one way is to show it's popularity or a small sentence or two about the reception of the game itself or series.

"Martin Brodeur, known for his puckhandling skills" Sounds POV to me.- It's a very accepted fact that Brodeur is one of the best ever, perhaps the best ever, puckhandler; do a survey at WT:HOCKEY, and trust me, you'll get a lot of votes for Brodeur. ;-) Also, it's in the third para of his article too. Maxim(talk) 21:07, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"Martin Brodeur's second goal, which was credited to him,"—Why is "which was credited to him" needed? Was his first goal not credited to him?- He didn't shoot the puck in; it was an own-goal and the last opposing player to touch it was Brodeur. The wording's a bit confusing I agree; what do you suggest? Maxim(talk) 21:07, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- How about: "Martin Brodeur's second goal was actually an own goal by the opposing team; however, because Brodeur was the last opposing player to touch the puck, he received credit for the goal. It is the only game-winning goal scored by a goaltender." Dabomb87 (talk) 15:14, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Per WP:BOLDFACE, you should find some other way to indicate the facts currently shown using bold (additional symbols/colors, italics, etc.).
- Rather than having the notes column, since everyone has a dagger or asterisk, just put them next to the names in the first column.
- The flags in the table aren't necessary, per MOS:FLAG: "Flag icons may be appropriate as a visual navigational aid in tables, infoboxes or lists provided that citizenship, nationality or jurisdiction is intimately tied to the topic at hand, such as comparison of global economic data or reporting of international sporting event results, and cannot be expressed better with text. They should always be accompanied by their country names at least once." Either remove the column or change it to simply the name of the country.
- Any particular reason why the column of dates is right-aligned?
- "There have been two goaltenders to have both scored and earned a shutout in the same game" - "to have both scored" is grammatically incorrect, a split infinitive. Both could be removed, or this sentence can be reordered to remove this. I would also end this sentence with a semicolon to promote continuity with the two goalies who have accomplished this feat.
- I would like to see the legend put into a separate table, a la many of the other sports FLs or FLCs.

Comment: I have to agree with Dabomb87 on the possible POV in the Brodeur image with "known for his puckhandling skills". Although as hockey fans, we would almost all agree on this, the non-hockey fan would simply not know. I remember when I put List of Vancouver Canucks players up for FLC, I got a similar comment with Todd Bertuzzi and "Todd Bertuzzi became known as one of the NHL's premier power forwards". One of those things that doesn't hurt to include, but could hurt if left out. You could always just snag one of the references from the Brodeur article, as there are a few in there. Aside from that, I fixed the dab/dio issue with José Théodore...GoodDay would be so impressed :)– Nurmsook! talk... 03:05, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Done--Maxim(talk) 23:19, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
One more thing, I think the key should be moved to before the table, like we have on most other FL articles. This would improve the flow, as the reader won't have to skip the table to get to the key, and then go back to the table. Instead, they would read the key first, then continue on to the table.– Nurmsook! talk... 17:50, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]- LarRan moved it for some reason. I've a partial revert of that.--Maxim(talk) 23:22, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Yet another comment I'd like to see a bit added to the lead about why a goalie scoring is so rare and notable. Sure it's obvious to us, but it wouldn't hurt for those not familiar with hockey. -- Scorpion0422 00:54, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
-
Yes, now the hard part is framing the sentences so that they are not POV or ambiguous:"Scoring a goal into the opposing team's net is very challenging for goaltenders, since it must be scored into an empty net, six feet wide, from the other end of the rink, with sufficient trajectory and speed to beat the defenders. A goaltender cannot cross the centre red line, thus they cannot get close enough to the opposing goaltender to have a chance to score when the net is not empty." Issues:
"very challenging" I understanding that it is hard to say why goaltenders' goals are rare without some slightly non-neutral language, so I will let "challenging" go. However, can we do away with "very"?"must be scored into an empty net"—The way this worded, it sounds like a rule that goaltenders can only score into an empty net."centre red line, thus they cannot get close enough" Comma to semicolon, comma after thus.Dabomb87 (talk) 23:47, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Fijación Oral Vol. 1 by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira spent 17 weeks at number one on the chart, and despite a ban by retail chain Ritmo Latino, the album had the largest sales week for a Spanish-language album since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking in 1991, with 157,000 copies sold, which led to a first-ever debut by a Latin album at number four on Billboard 200, surpassing Ricky Martin's Almas del Silencio, which was the previous record holder with 65,000 units in 2003. - this needs a full stop after "on the chart."

- I was not a part of your previous FLCs, so I realize your other lists passed without some of these issues being addressed.
- The column heading "Issue Date" confuses me. It's not the date of the albums release, which is what I first thought. Is that the date the Billboard list is issued? Maybe "Chart date"?. Answer: FIXED!. On the Billboard page the chart date is refered as "issue date" but chart date I think is more acurate. Jaespinoza (talk) 07:18, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The third instance of Daddy Yankee (December 31) shouldn't be wikilinked. FIXED! Jaespinoza (talk) 07:18, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't believe "Internet sales" should have a capital "I" - is that correct? I see your other lists have that, but it doesn't look right to me. FIXED!. On a previous review someone told me to capitalize it, but now is fixed. Jaespinoza (talk) 07:18, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this article because I believe it satisfies the FL criteria: it's comprehensive (only 29 players have represented Ireland and the stats are up to date) and the lead explains the article (a bit about what ODI cricket is and the background of Irleand and ODI). All comments and suggestions are welcome. Nev1 (talk) 00:37, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I would reconmend creating articles for the red links. If this is done then I will support. 02blythed (for some reason I cannot sign.

Comments - sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 17:59, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments
- "This is a list of Irish One-Day International (ODI) cricketers." – remove bold because of link per WP:BOLDTITLE
- reword the "this is a list of" to make it more interesting; check List of mergers and acquisitions by Adobe Systems, List of Oklahoma City Thunder head coaches, and List of ISS spacewalks for ideas
- "Twenty-nine" – "29" per WP:MOS; needs to be moved somewhere else since sentences can't begin with numbers
- "and one tie" – "and 1 tie" – per WP:MOS because when comparing numbers they need to all either be numbers or letters to be consistent (within the same sentence)
- I don't think there's any need for the text to be small in the table. Just make it normal size.
- Perhaps italicize and indent "Statistics are correct as of 3 November 2008."
Gary King (talk) 20:04, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- The first instance of "cap" in the lede should be wikilinked
- I'd like to see the table sortable. Since the "rowspan" headers don't work for a sortable table, I recommend adding "Batting", "Bowling", and "Fielding" to the Key. You will need to make use of the {{sort}} template for the 100/50 and BB columns.
- BTW, the "100/50" column header isn't bold like the rest
- Wikilinking the header columns (Runs, Avg, Overs, Runs, Avg) is a bit strange, IMO. I would add them to the Key and wikilink there. The two "Runs" and "Avg" columns should probably be differentiated, as well.
- I Conditionally Support this candidate after some of the fixes above are taken care of. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 21:50, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Mostly done. The sorting issue is a tricky one to solve, and one that's cropped up on other lists. I've completely removed the top line of the table and now it sorts fine. I don't think the top line was necessary, but if anyone disagrees, it can be reinstated. Nev1 (talk) 14:07, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Can I recommend doing the Key like this? As for sorting, are the "100/50" and "BB" columns sorting correctly? I don't understand what those mean, so they may be fine - I'm just checking :) Also, the "HS" field isn't sortable and probably should be? Finally, you'll want to make use of {{sortname}} to sort the Name column by last, first. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 16:30, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- New key implemented. 100/50 and BB sort fine (although it's a shame about the dashes in BB). HS doesn't sort properly, the only way to do it would be to convert every highest score to three digits (ie: 3 would become 003 and 17 would become 017). I've played around with {{sortname}}, but I just can't get it to work, are you sure it can be used in tables, I've only ever seen it sorting categories. Nev1 (talk) 17:29, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I've added {{sortname}} to the name column and added the sorting capability for the HS column. The HS column sorting automatically interprets numbers (so you don't need to worry about 325 coming before 37).
- As an aside, the key still has "an innings that ended not out", which is grammatically incorrect. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 01:29, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, thanks for fixing that (and somehow you got HS to sort properly!)

- Review by SRX (talk · contribs)/
Oppose- fails to meet the standards of writing and their are faults with the table, fails FL cr 1-3,5 - Prose
- The Milwaukee Brewers Major League Baseball franchise has employed 17 managers and 8 general managers (GMs) since its inception in Seattle, Washington as the Seattle Pilots in 1969. - this is the opening lead sentence. In other similar FL's, they state what division they play in, what stadium, where they are from. They don't go directly to the point of the list.
- Take my suggestions that I pointed out above and then place the prose about them being the Pilots and combine it with the second sentence.
- Buck Rodgers managed the team in 1981 when the Brewers won the second-half American League East Division title - link to this "half" division title?
- Rodgers and Harvey Kuenn managed the Brewers in 1982, leading them to win the American League pennant. - so two people managed, both were head managers? Or did one resign and then the other came in, if so that should be elaborated.
- Phil Garner won 563 games from 1992 to 1999, placing him first on the all-time wins list for Brewers managers. Very confusing at the end and sounds bias, so his 563 ranks him first on "what?"
- The manager with the highest winning percentage over a full season or more is Harvey Kuenn, whose .576 winning percentage is sixth on the all-time wins list for Brewers managers. - Get to the point, begin with Harvey Kuenn has the highest winning percentage with .576, which is sixth on the all-time wins list for Brewers managers. Also, how is it the highest if he is only sixth?
- The manager with the highest winning percentage over a full season or more is Harvey Kuenn, whose .576 winning percentage is sixth on the all-time wins list for Brewers managers. - the word "worst" is POV
- Lead needs to be expanded and better written, the first manager should be listed first, the current manager, and those with the record winning %. See current FLC, List of Tennessee Titans head coaches.
- Tables
- What do the dashes in the # column mean?
- Source for general managers?
- Can it be elaborated in the prose the difference between the GM and the head manager?
- Notes
- The awards need to be integrated as a row/column into the table, see the FLC I pointed out above.--SRX 04:15, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Take a look now. Most of the lead was re-written with your suggestions in-mind. I'm not sure what you mean about bullet #3 (about the second-half title). All "Tables" comments were addressed. The way the notes/awards are indicated is standard for other FL of MLB managers. I see no need for this list to buck the trend. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 05:18, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Nope. Still has problems
- The beginning of the sentence states they are in the national league but of what the MLB or the AL?
- So where is the home stadium?
- Ken Macha, former manager of the Oakland Athletics is the team's current manager; he will manage his first Brewers game when the 2009 season begins. - this should go at the end of the paragraph, needs to be in chronological order. + comma after Athletics. Since his first game will be until 2009, I recommend adding a {{future}} template.
- The team's first manager was Joe Schultz. Buck Rodgers managed the team in 1981 when the Brewers won the American League second-half East Division title. - you need a transition. Wow, Shultz was the first manager, so what? Elaborate more on him, or transclude from there to the next sentence. In the second sentence, wikilink to that title?
- Still no explanation for the emdash in the tables under the "#" row.--SRX 15:05, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Indicated Nat'l League of MLB & home stadium, fixed Macha, added {{future}}, worked on Schultz sentence, added em dash explanation to table key. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 16:50, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Final Comments
- Buck Rodgers managed the team in 1981 when the Brewers won the American League second-half East Division title. - I remember reviewing a list in this nature where there were half champions and it elaborated why they were half champs, can that be elaborated here?
- The ref for the GM's should be made into a General one since the same one verifies all of them, possibly into a separate row or indicated below the table.
- Also, seeing the size of the table, is there a way to place the GM table next to the Manager's table?--SRX 18:34, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I added a bit about the 1981 Major League Baseball strike being the reason for the splist season. I removed the references column for the GMs, and put it under the "General" references section. I tried putting the tables next to each other, but (on my 1024x768 display in IE) the managers table was squeezed such that it became visually unpleasing. Also, the current layout is standard for other MLB manager FLs. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 22:08, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments --
- Generally it looks good. I did add a column for league championships/pennants won, since that is a critical item in assessing a manager's career, even if he lost the WS that year. Rlendog (talk) 17:20, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The one thing I think needs to be addressed is a little bit of confusion in the lead over which league the Brewers play in. It starts by saying the Brewers play in the National League, but then the 2nd paragraph mentions winning the American League east, and then goes back to discuss the National League again. I think the lead needs to clarify the Brewers' situation with respect to changing leagues. Perhaps a 2nd sentence could be added to note that the Brewers played in the American League until 1998, when they were moved to the National League.
- Additional pictures would be nice, but there don't seem to be any relevant free ones available on Commons, so I don't think that should impact the articles' assessment. Of course, it would be good to get a free picture of Ken Macha in a Brewers uniform added to the article as soon as possible. Rlendog (talk) 17:20, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Done. - I added a sentence very similar to the one you suggested. I think the situation has been clarified. I'd love to add more pictures too, but free images just can't be found. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 00:53, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Comments (KV5)
- If there have been no managers elected to the Hall of Fame, it doesn't belong in the key.
- First sentence: "The Milwaukee Brewers Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise of the National League has employed 17 managers and 8 general managers (GMs) during its 40 seasons of play."→"The Milwaukee Brewers franchise of Major League Baseball's (MLB) National League has employed 17 managers and eight general managers (GMs) during its 40 seasons of play."
This change should not be doneDo not change 8 to eight; per MOSNUM, comparative quantities should all be written the same way. Dabomb87 (talk) 17:39, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]- My fault, this didn't come up in either the Phillies or Twins managers FLC; however, that's not the only change to be made here; the other half still needs to be fixed. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 21:47, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Playing their home games at Miller Park is extraneous to the first paragraph of the lead - remove.
- "the lowest winning percentage over a season or more is .395 by the team's first manager Joe Schultz." - add comma after .395.
- Italicize Macha and his record until the 2009 season starts, to indicate that he has not yet managed the team.
- Needs a reference either with Harvey Kuenn or in the key to show the source for Milwaukee Walk of Fame.
- I know it's just one redlink, but any chance of creating even a tiny stub for Dean Taylor?
- Any chance of creating a GM template either? (see List of Philadelphia Phillies managers)
- You note in the key that em-dashes are used to denote prior service as manager, yet you also use them for blanks in the playoffs. I suggest removing that line from the key and following the format used in the above Phillies list or List of Minnesota Twins managers, wherein a footnote is used to explain em-dashes in the "#" column.
- Playoff rows should be complete; that is, where a manager has appeared in the playoffs, 0s should be used in place of an em-dash if a manager has won 0 pennants or 0 World Series championships.
Hope this helps. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 17:26, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm opposing for now, considering the issues listed below are only from the lead; I haven't checked the rest of the article yet.

- On hold Matthew brought this at PR too. I originally had "anymore" but the automated peer review suggested that "any more" was BrE and "anymore" was the AmE version. I am not american so don't know, but would like further clarification and will go with consensus.
- I think that PR suggestion is for a different use of "any more". It's for something like "He didn't go to the store anymore", not "he didn't get any more than he needed", which must be two separate words. Gary King (talk) 23:43, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- "allowed the episode to be streamed from 12:00 p.m. ET on October 30, 2006" – confusing. So, CTV allowed Warner to stream it? And, stream it where? On CTV's website? I thought Warner owned the program?"
- Done Hopefully clarified. Warner allowed CTV to stream it on the CTV Broadband Network.
- "8:30 p.m. (local time)." – there's no three letter timezone code to use here? It should be obvious which timezone this is in without clicking on the link.
- On hold The point is that there are three timezone codes to list here - AWST, ACST, and AEST. Programs do actually air in local time so if you lived in Perth it would be 8:30 p.m. AWST, whereas for someone who lived in Sydney it would have been shown at 8:30 p.m. AEST. I used local time as it seemed more appropriate than mentioning all three timezones. Please let me know if you disagree. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 18:27, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- "The fourth season was also broadcast outside of the United States." – I think I brought this up before, but I don't think this needs to be said. The paragraph can start with "In Canada" and people will realize that it's broadcast outside the US. The reader doesn't assume one way or the other that the show does or does not broadcast outside the US up to this point. Done
- "the episode could be streamed " – "the episode was streamed "
- ✗ Not done. I disagree with this one, was streamed seems to imply that people streamed the episode from 3:01 onwards. I don't know if people actually streamed the episode at that time. Unlike being broadcast on television it wasn't definately done at specific times, hence the "could be". Is that reasonable? Rambo's Revenge (talk) 09:18, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article still needs a lot of work. For example:
- "The fourth season of The O.C. commenced airing in the United States on November 2, 2006 in the United States, concluded on February 22, 2007, and consisted of sixteen episodes." – "The fourth season of The O.C. aired in the United States from November 2, 2006 to February 22, 2007 and consisted of sixteen episodes."
- Question: I don't understand how the current version is incorrect. This is also seems to be a standard opening in season FLs (e.g. The other seasons of The O.C. use it as does all Lost and Degrassi seasons). Rambo's Revenge (talk) 18:31, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- "This was the first season without one of the "core four" characters of Ryan Atwood, Seth Cohen, Rachel Bilson, and Marissa Cooper;[4] however, executive producer Stephanie Savage said that Marissa's death "set up a new direction for the show".[5]" ← I understand you're trying to be concise here, but I had to read it twice to glean what was going on. Perhaps you could be a little clearer? Done
- You don't need to link to The O.C. in the second paragraph of the lead; I think "the show's creator..." would suffice. Done
- "that maybe wasn't as evident last year" ← could "last year" link to the article on season 3? Done
- "Former main cast member Mischa Barton did not return because her character, Marissa, died in the third season finale" ← I don't much like how straightforward this is.
- On hold, I don't understand. Relative to the season 4 article it is that straight forward. Details of her death should be explained in the third season finale article not here, in a season in which she does not feature and a season of which her death is not part of.

- Comment I don't particularily like the formatting of the table. I think you've made it more cumbersome to read just so it could be sortable. There are some cases where sortability just doesn't work and this is one of those. I would prefer to see each year just have one row (using rowspan), that way it would be easier to see which were nominated in a certain year. Admittedly, the sorting is helpful, but I don't think it adds much here since no film can be nominated more than once. I would prefer to see it formatted more like this, with the result column removed and extra thick lines added at the bottom of each year to make things easier to see. -- Zombie Scorpion0422 19:48, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I disagree on the sorting part. The downsides to sorting only appears when you get too much redundancy (for instance, List of Nobel Laureates in Chemistry, in which I agreed with your assessment that the table shouldn't be sortable due to the excessive redundancy and mirrored at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Nobel Laureates in Economics), and here, the benefit to sorting (sort winners, studio, directors), outweighs the redundancy in having multiple year columns. That said, I added thicker lines to divide the years up. Is that sufficient? — sephiroth bcr (converse) 23:09, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- I don't see how that's necessary with the color. — sephiroth bcr (converse) 02:28, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Per WP:COLOR: Ensure that colour is not the only way used to convey important information. Especially, do not use coloured text unless its status is also indicated using another method such as italic emphasis or footnote labels. Otherwise, blind users or readers accessing Wikipedia through a printout or device without a colour screen will not receive that information.
- There's text clearly indicating what is meant in that cell. This line in WP:COLOR only applies in cases in which color is the only identifier. This is not the case. — sephiroth bcr (converse) 22:38, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- (reply to SatyrTN) But in this case, the color is associated with text ("Nominee" or "Won Annie Award"). In other words, the color doesn't even need to be there, it is used for contrast. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:36, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- The "Year" column needs to make use of the {{sort}} function so that sorting returns the list in the original order. For instance, {{sort|1995-a|[[1995 in film|1995]]}}, {{sort|1995-b|[[1995 in film|1995]]}}, {{sort|1995-c|[[1995 in film|1995]]}} would be the entries for The Gate to the Mind’s Eye, Opéra Imaginaire, and The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure. And go from there :)

- 1885-1886, sorting by season puts the replay before the original match and should not do so
- Fixed
- 1922-1923, attendence is 126,047 (official), does this mean all other attendences are estimates?
- No, all figures are official, but the official figure for 1923 does not reflect the actual number of spectators present, which may have been anywhere up to 300,000 - see 1923 FA Cup Final for the full story. I'm open to suggestions of a better way to express this......
- I've now re-done that bit, what do you think.....?
- (edit conflict) Good I was just suggesting when I got and edit conflict. I would also suggest in the note put that all three of these numbers can be ref'd by "borrowing" the refs from the 1923 FA Cup Final article.
- Additionally you may want to use <sup>[[#fn a|a]]</sup> and then *{{fnb|a}} at the bottom, to make the note linkable.

- IMO † should be next to the score not the team, especially considering all the games won on penalties went to extra time, then you can use one symbol instead of two.

- For the italics, it might be worth mentioning when the football league formed (1888) and/or linking "Football League".

- In the references works and publishers should be wikilinked where possible. For example
- Current ref 1 - link The Independent as the work, the publisher would be Independent News & Media
- In current ref 5, BBC Sport should be linked, and it is the work not the publisher. It would be
work=[[BBC Sport]]|publisher=[[BBC]].
- There are more like these.
- All done, I think
- Ref 13 & 16 should be BBC Sport, BBC too.

- When the table is sorted anything other than chronologically, you can't tell what year the Replay lines apply to. FL criterion 4 says "includes—where helpful—section headings and table sort facilities"; are you sure this is helpful?
- I only made the table sortable because someone said at the PR that FLs now had to be sortable (and I didn't double check to confirm this). I'll have a think about whether I should take the sorting off......
- I've changed it now - what do you think? Feel free to tell me if it looks rubbish :-)
- Well, er...;-) No, it's fine; if people want tables to be sortable, they have to accept they're going to be bright blue and not quite as pretty as they probably would be without the sorting. You'll have to link the seasons (for the same reason the venue is linked every time).
- All seasons now linked (I'd forgotten about that.....)

- It's disconcerting that adding a symbol to a scoreline pushes the scoreline out of alignment (not sure what could be done about it, but it's still disconcerting)
- As you say, I'm not sure what can be done about this - something additional to just the colour of the cell has to be used, per accessibility guidelines.....
- The annual FA Cup articles have now been renamed to use the endash separator rather than hyphen, so at some point it'd be good to avoid the redirects (not worth going in specially just for that, though)
- Might do this if I get bored :-)
- References. Probably picky, but in the BBC references, BBC Sport should be the publisher, and the work (if specified, though I wouldn't) would be BBC Sport website. BBC Sport is a division of the BBC, not a work published by it.
- Done
- And I'm impressed that you've bothered with the publishers for major newspapers, though there's no need. The documentation of {{Cite news}} says adding the publisher is "Not necessary for major publications like The New York Times, but may add credibility for local papers that are part of a family of publications ..."
- Another editor said the publisher needed to be added, I'm not fussed either way.....

- There have been 24 head coaches for the New York Knickerbockers franchise. The Knicks are an American professional basketball team based in New York City, playing in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA). - The intro sentence should be the second one not the first one. The first one should go at the end somewhere of the prose as it is standard for FL's to have the overall count of something to be at the end.
- They currently play their home games at the Madison Square Garden. - remove "the" before MSG no need for it.
- The team is currently owned by the Madison Square Garden, L.P. and coached by Mike D'Antoni, with Donnie Walsh as the general manager. - again remove the "the" before MSG, also link to General Manager?

- No need to refer to the team as Knickerbockers more than once, and no need to link New York Knickerbockers to the Knicks page. Just says New York Knicks, unlinked.
- "Top 10 Coaches" should be "top 10 coaches".
- Rick Pitino should be linked in the image caption.
- "Holzman was the franchise's first Coach of the Year winner and its all-time leader in regular season games coached"→"and is its all-time leader"
- Since the asterisk and dagger never occur bolded in the table, they should not be boldface in the key.
- I would shorten the name of the "Reference" column to "Ref" to save space.
- Change Sports Reference to Sports Reference LLC in your refs.

previous FLC (21:59, 24 May 2008)
I am renominating this list as I believe it meets all of the FLC criteria. Everything is well sourced with reliable references, the lead is comprehensive and provides the relevant details normally found in a chapter list with an appropriate image in the upper right corner. It has also been reformatted to match current FLC standards of not repeating the list name in the lead. The list itself is well-formatted, comprehensive, and complete. The individual volume summaries are of a reasonable length for 200 page volumes with a fairly complex story line, with all but two under 300 words. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 18:53, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- "76 episode" – "76-episode"
- "releases in in France" – "releases in France"
- "by Grupo Editorial Vid , in" – "by Grupo Editorial Vid, in"
- this can actually probably be completely rewritten: "The manga series is licensed for regional language releases in in France by Glenat, in Mexico by Grupo Editorial Vid , in Spain by Planeta DeAgostini Comics, in Italy by Planet Manga, and in Germany by Egmont." – "The manga series is licensed for regional language releases by Glenat in France, Grupo Editorial Vid in Mexico, Planeta DeAgostini Comics in Spain, Planet Manga in Italy, and Egmont in Germany."

Review by NatureBoyMD (talk · contribs)
- In the key, there are spaces around the en dash, but in the heading of the actual list they are unspaced.
- What type of source is current reference #4 ("Woody Paige" (2005-04-11).)? Is it a book, newspaper, magazine, etc? It needs to be properly formatted like the others.

- "AFL-NFL Merger" "Merger" should not be capitalized.
- "Previously known as the Houston Oilers" This phrase is repeteated twice in the same paragraph.
- "Rhymkus"—Typo.
- "Bill Peterson is the team's least winningest coach, who has a win percentage of .053."-->Bill Peterson, the team's least winningest coach, has a win percentage of .053.
- In the key: "Loses"-->Losses; "Games Coached"-->Games coached, only capitalize first word.
- "In 1961, after Rymkus left the Oilers, Wally Lemm briefly coached the team and led it to nine straight victories."-->In 1961, after Rymkus left the Oilers, Wally Lemm led the to nine straight victories during his brief tenure. Or something like that.
- UPI NFL Coach of the Year is overlinked in the table.
- Pro-football-reference.com is not the publisher, it is the work. Sports Reference LLC is the publisher.
- "The Tennessee Titans are a professional American football team based in Nashville, Tennessee. It is a member of the South Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL)." Move these sentences to the beginning of the lead.

- All done. The "it" refers to the organization, not the individuals in it. "Wally Lemm briefly coached the team and led it to nine straight victories." seems fine to me; it's straightforward, and only uses an "and" to link the two ideas together, so it's not forming any conclusions.

Comment - Is there any chance you could change one of the colours (background or text) for the "Houston Oilers" row in the table. For me, in both IE and Firefox the red on blue is very difficult to read. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 22:37, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments from Killervogel5
- In the key, "Loses"→"Losses"
- In the key, you refer to an en-dash as meaning returning to coach, yet it is also used to mean a zero or n/a in the playoffs. First of all, em-dashes are more appropriately used for both of these features in the list, and second, the best thing to do would be to follow the example at List of Philadelphia Phillies managers, etc., wherein that notation is in a note at the end of the list.
- In the key, Win – Loss does not need to be spaced; en-dashes are used to indicate disjunction but spaced en-dashes serve the same function as em-dashes, which is inappropriate for that usage.
- Sports Reference in the references should be Sports Reference LLC.

Good job. I would still like to see a note in the "Notes" section referring to the fact that no coach is counted more than once, as was formerly in the key.

Weak Oppose
- "Fisher served as the Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator for one season and the defensive backs coach for the San Francisco 49ers before he joined the Titans in 1994, when the team was called the Houston Oilers." - needs reference.
- "Fisher has the longest tenure as head coach with one team among active head coaches in the NFL." - I reference does not reference to this sentence.
- "Sid Gillman, who coached the Oilers from 1973 to 1974, was the team's only Hall of Fame football coach." - the reference for this sentence does not exactly say that he was the team's only Hall of Fame inductee. Also, I would suggest you write it like this (don't copy exactly until you see that it does not need copy-editing):"Sid Gillman, who coach the Oilers from 1973 to 1974, was the team's only coach to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame."
- "...win percentage..." - I'm for sure it's winning percentage.
- "Rymkus and Lemm have both..." --> "Rymkus and Lemm, with Gillman, have all"
- align center the #s.
- I suggest you change "Awards" to "Achievements", and put the championships with it. An example would be like in this article: List of Denver Broncos head coaches.
- Can you reference the Awards section, since the references for the players do not include the awards.

My first featured list nomination. I think it checks all the boxes: its comprehensive, complete and accurate, its referenced and its easy to follow thanks to basing its style on some related featured lists. The only stability issues would be for altering a couple of dates on the unreleased games and literature, but that's hardly anything major. Gary King has graciously copy-editted the lead for me, so I'm hoping there's no prose issues. As I learnt in my last FAC, I'm a rubbish copyeditor. -- Sabre (talk) 22:12, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment Is there a reason that the toys aren't included in this list? Pie is good (Apple is the best) 21:44, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Two reasons mainly. Its firstly exceptionally difficult to solidly verify the toys and their details to reliable sources (this is about as good as it gets, and there's not much to really say), and the comparable featured lists that this one was based on (List of Final Fantasy media, List of Halo media) don't list toys and that sort of stuff either. I suppose its somewhat debatable to what extent toys fall under "media" as well. I've put in mention of the existance of toys in the intro, but I think that due to a lack of reliable sources to actually fully elaborate on details, individual list entries aren't necessary. -- Sabre (talk) 21:59, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support - I actually expected this list to show up here sooner or later. But I still got a few things.
- "The series has several games which carry the main story arc: StarCraft, StarCraft: Brood War, and StarCraft II." Brood War is not a game. Further down in the lead you get it right, but it's still an inaccuracy that I'd like to see avoided.
- Both Blizzard Entertainment and Battle.net are mentioned and linked in the lead. Why create a "See also" section only for them? -- Goodraise (talk) 18:09, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- What makes the following reliable sources?
- Current ref 49 (StarCraft the Dark Templar...) is lacking a publisher.
- Otherwise sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 17:53, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- http://index.rpg.net/display-entry.phtml?mainid=921 has been removed. Ref 49 has had the publisher field added. As for Blizzplanet, its basically a small-time Blizzard-exclusive news and fansite, see their about page. I know fansite usage is generally frowned upon, but Blizzard themselves and Blizzard-related people tend to treat as a reputable place, having conducted quite a portfolio of interviews with Blizzard employees and Blizzard authors. I've replaced two usages with an IGN source, but I think it just about meets the criteria for a reliable source when no others are available. I'll try to find some better references for the soundtrack sources, but I'll warn you that trying to find the information for the first soundtrack is rather difficult - it seems to have been sold more for the Korean market. It doesn't seem to be sold anymore, and Blizzard's store isn't held in the web archive to get a primary reference for it. I'll try to find some better references for the two soundtrack sources, but I'll warn you that trying to find the information for that is rather difficult. It doesn't seem to be sold anymore, and Blizzard's store isn't held in the web archive to get a primary reference for it. I'll remove http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/catalog/soundtrackdetail.php?movieid=71169, as that really doesn't seem too reliable, but I think that http://www.en.game-ost.ru/info.php?id=450 may be borderline justifiable as a reliable source based on the willingness of some of the industry's composers to conduct interviews with them. Its very much scrapings at the bottom of the barrel stuff, most searches show up more for illegal torrent downloads than potentially usable source for it.-- Sabre (talk) 19:12, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I haven't been able to find anything that might actually count as a more reliable source, so it looks like game-ost.ru is as good as it gets. I realise its not an ideal situation, but as I stated above, it should just about qualify as a reliable source for the purpose assigned to it in the article - ie, showing that the soundtrack in question existed. Any more developed usage than that, such as in creation and critical reception, etc, should probably be avoided. -- Sabre (talk) 23:32, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- You can see a source in the General Bibiliography for the list; it was put it there or reference it on every single entry.

- Only full date ranges should have spaced en dashes, not anything else (26 May 1814 – 1 November 1873, but 1309–1326). Dabomb87 (talk) 22:31, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Woops, sorry! I'll doeth that now. Ironholds (talk) 06:24, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Alright, I'm doing that. What about mixed ones? Where I have a complete date for the appointment but not for the removal, for example. Ironholds (talk) 17:57, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- MOSDASH says: "Spacing: All disjunctive en dashes are unspaced, except when there is a space within either one or both of the items (the New York – Sydney flight; the New Zealand – South Africa grand final; July 3, 1888 – August 18, 1940, but July–August 1940)." So yes, the ones which have one complete date and the other is just a year should still have a space. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:25, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Normally it means a reference to a text previously mentioned; so "Mackay ibid 51", for example, would be "the same Mackay text previously mentioned, just on page 51"; it was a leftover from when I copied the reference over from the Court of Common Pleas article.

- Comments from SatyrTN
- Some copyediting is needed:
- As such the Chief Justice was one of the highest judicial officials in England,
- Add a comma after "such"
- behind only the Lord High Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice of the King's (or Queen's) Bench.Initially, the position of Chief Justice was not an appointment;
- Space before "Initially", and the comma after "Initially" needs to go.
- of the justices serving in the court, one would become more respected than his peers, and was therefore considered the "chief" justice. The position was formalised in 1272 with the raising of Sir Gilbert of Preston to Chief Justice, and from then on, it was considered a formally appointed role similar to the positions of Chief Justice of the King's Bench and Chief Baron of the Exchequer.
- The comma after "and from then on" is unnecessary
- There are two wikilinks - "Lord Chief Justice of the King's (or Queen's) Bench" and "Chief Justice of the King's Bench" - that go to the same place, and both are redirects. This is confusing and maybe even misleading.
- As such the Chief Justice was one of the highest judicial officials in England,
- The table should be sortable, with the last column unsorted. You will need to use {{sort}} for the dates.
- Done all that, but after much previewing and fooling about I can't get the sorting right. Could someone help me out? Ironholds (talk) 10:28, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would have added more, but I wanted to keep images in the appropriate sections; spacing was also an issue. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 00:46, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Very nicely done! I don't understand *all* the jargon, but the list is well organized and informative. My only suggestion would be that there are places with lots of white-space. It's just a suggestion, but perhaps two tables could be placed side-by-side? But I'm not wedded to that idea - I just dislike all that open room to the right of my screen :)

- "(slightly more than €1 million, or US$1.4 million)" Source?
I am concerned about the use of Encyclopædia Britannica, a tertiary source, to source Wikipedia, another tertiary source.- it's not used as a main source. Basically, it's just included because in the past I've had some people complain about having an article rely entirely on one source (especially when it's an official source), so if anyone wants confirmation, there it is.
"In 2008, the prize was awarded Makoto Kobayashi, Toshihide Maskawa and Yoichiro Nambu " Missing a word.- Done.
Random image check: Image:Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1845--1923).jpg needs an author and date, Image:Erwin Schrödinger.jpg has an obsolete tag, I think Image:Ketterle.jpg. Have you recruited an experienced image reviewer to confirm that the images check out?- Done.
"William Lawrence Bragg is the youngest ever Nobel Laureate, he won the prize in 1915 at the age of 25." Semicolon instead of comma.- Done.
"John Bardeen is the only laureate to win the prize twice, in 1956 and 1972."-->John Bardeen is the only laureate to win the prize twice, in 1956 and 1972. I think an em dash would serve better than a comma, the placement and the flow of the sentence are abrupt with the comma.Dabomb87 (talk) 23:51, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]- Done. Thanks for taking a look. -- Scorpion0422 17:06, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Another blasted image review in progress
Sorry for the delay, but the literature list kept me busy. First set:
- Image:Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1845--1923).jpg - missing source, date, author, making license invalid
- Image:Pierre Curie (crop).png - missing date, author, making license invalid
- Image:Albert Abraham Michelson2.jpg - just because it's on other encyclopedias does not prove the license
- Image:G lippmann.jpg - without author, can't use pd-70
- Image:Ferdinand Braun.jpg - same with this one
--Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 03:08, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The first batch have all been removed. -- Scorpion0422 15:32, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Image:Johannes_Diderik_van_der_Waals.jpg - wrong license, might be PD-1923 but not PD-old
- Fixed.
- Image:Charles Glover Barkla.jpg - licensed under GFDL and claimed PD; no author, so PD-old not proper
- Image:Charles Édouard Guillaume.jpg - no source or author; god-awful image anyhow
--Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 03:55, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Second batch is done. -- Scorpion0422 16:06, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Image:Niels Bohr.jpg could be cleaned up via a template, and should have PD-US in addition to the EU tag. Like this one (although that might need EU tag).
- Done.
- Image:Niels BohrUpOwenWillansRichardsonDownSolvay1927.JPG - god, did Bohr ever change his expression?
- Apparantly not, is there a problem with the image?
- Image:Broglie Big.jpg - can't use PD-old without an author... another tag accounting for anon author would work, I suppose.
- What kind of template?
- Image:CVRaman.jpg - using a fair use image of a dead person is shaky in general, but using it in a list as decoration is definitely so. Remove.
- Wow, how did I miss that? It was not put in intentionally. Removed.
- Image:180px-Werner Heisenberg.jpg - same as above.
- Same as above. Replaced.
- Image:Erwin Schrödinger.jpg - needs more specific PD tag.
- Like?
- Image:Chadwick.jpg lacks source, date, and author info
- Removed.
- Image:Carl anderson.1937.jpg - page needs cleanup, and explanation of what organization took the photo (author).
- Image:Enrico Fermi 1943-49.jpg] - what's with the years after his death? Also, bad tag!
- Done.
- Image:Isidor Isaac Rabi.jpg - date and author?
- Removed.
- Image:Wolfgang Pauli2.jpg - missing verifiable source for license
- Removed.
- Image:Blackett-large.jpg - real author and reason for PD?
- Removed.
Also, as a general comment, if any of the above licenses are invalid, please mark them as copyvios on Commons so that they're gotten rid of for good. I like everything tidy :) --Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 18:32, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- I would love for every row to have an image too, but there are two main problems:
- The lack of images is not due to negligence on my part, I went through every page and added whatever free image I could find. The only way I might have missed any is if they are not on the Laureate's page. If there are any free images with proper licensing out there that I have missed, then by all means please add them. -- Scorpion0422 01:33, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments by SatyrTN
- I'm a bit uncomfortable with the "Reason" column having each line start with three different things, either "for", "For", or "[for]". I understand the third one, but not why the others are different.
- Each quotation is a copy of the Nobel website. Most of them start out with "for", but some don't, so for uniformity, [for] was added. As for the capitalization, I can go through and fix that. -- Scorpion0422 04:13, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- "Southern California seaside town" I've never heard "seaside" in So-Cal.. How about "coastal" or "beach"? Done
- Use
EpisodeNumber=
andEpisodeNumber2=
from {{episode list}} for the series and episode numbers, which will negate "(1-01)", which doesn't make sense Done- I went ahead and deleted the (s-ep) numbering, since the airing order is consistent with the production code. Jclemens (talk) 03:50, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- {{episode list}} has been modified so that instead of using
Aux1=
andAux2=
, you should useDirectedBy=
andWrittenBy
. Entries will have to be reversed though, because it forces the Directors column to appear before Writers column Done - For the viewing figures, use
Aux4=
rather thanAux3=
, which will place them after the airdate. This makes more sense because the viewing figures occurred as a result of it airing. Entries will have to be reversed, don't forget Done - Episode summaries could do with being expanded. They seem more like teasers at the moment. See Wikipedia:Plot_summaries and WP:PLOTSUM Done
- Clarifying question: What's another article that you consider a good model for total length in plot summaries? Jclemens (talk) 01:35, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The_Simpsons (season 9), The_Simpsons (season 8), (any of The Simpsons lists, actually), The O.C. (season 3), Degrassi: The Next Generation (season 7), Blue Heelers (season_13), and The Office (US TV series) season 3 are pretty good. They've been promoted recently, so they'll indicate the lengths that are okay.
- Degrassi: The Next Generation (season 1), List of Desperate Housewives episodes and List of Stargate SG-1 episodes were promoted some time ago and need a bit of attention. Matthewedwards 04:01, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Regarding the plot summaries, do you mean that they are too short, or that some contain vague sentences. I think the length of the summaries are good as-is, it's just the vague parts that need to be cleared up. Is that reasonable? Corn.u.co.pia / Disc.us.sion 06:52, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Specialist words such as "bumfights", should be wikilinked done
- "who took pictures of her and sent them to her mother and the Moon Calf Collective" needs refactoring.. the pictures weren't sent to the Moon Calf Collective done
- "Rap producer" sentence case done
- "Veronica finds out that her mother left rehab, asks her to leave town." is not a complete sentence done
- "bus' driver" --> "bus driver" done
- That's all I've caught, you could try to enlist a copy editor from Wikipedia:Peer_review/volunteers. I've also found User:Scartol and User:97198 to be good. Matthewedwards 00:17, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've reviewed this list (mostly because my girlfriend would be horrified if I didn't, she's a huge fan) in its entirety, only some little things to fix.
- Section headers (year ranges) should use en-dashes instead of hyphens. Done

- What makes the following reliable sources?
http://www.gpstore.com.au/News/Archive/9850.htmlhttp://www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/799359- Both these sources are Australian DVD retailers. They are being used solely to support the DVD release dates in Australia. Gameplanet is a retailer that has been in business since 2002. EZDVD since 1999. Absent any online catalog of DVD availability dates, this is the best evidence we've been able to find to verify release dates. The S2 DVDs also appear within the context of other DVDs for Australian release inSeptember 2008. Is that sufficiently reliable for this purpose? Jclemens (talk) 17:57, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- The only thing that was brought to my attention was This acquisition was described as a "a perfect fit" with Condé Nast's other magazines, especially Gourmet and House & Garden, because of Knapp's magazines such as Architectural Digest and Bon Appétit. - because the word "especially" makes it sound like the editor's POV.

- One of my biggest problems with lists like these is that there is no general ref (at least from reliable sources). So while you can piece together a list through various refs, there is no definitive source that proves the list is 100% complete. Is there any chance such a ref would exist?
- Also, instead of having [note #], would it be better to instead use [A], [B], etc.? That's what I do when I have to use notes and it usually works pretty good.
- Would it be possible to add a note explaining why some rows don't have a value (I'm assuming it's because those amounts were never disclosed, but it should be mentioned). I believe I actually brought this up in a previous FLC for a similar list.
- Either way, it's not a bad looking (albeit shorter than I like to see) list. -- Zombie Scorpion0422 19:39, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I've added a general reference; every acquisition listed there is also listed here. I prefer using the numbers for notes; whichever is used is based on personal preference rather than any policy, really. I've added a note about missing values. Also, if you think this is short, wait until you see List of mergers and acquisitions by Microsoft ;) Gary King (talk) 19:56, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I have to say that I don't really understand the divestment/divestiture section. You describe a divestment as when "parts of the company are sold to another company", and I know that this happens fairly often, usually because the subsidiary or division in question is not deemed to be 'core'. However I don't believe that another company taking a stake (i.e. buying shares) in Red Hat is the same thing at all. Most times the company whose shares are being bought has no say in the matter whereas the other items in this list are under their control. Am I missing something here? Boissière (talk) 22:29, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The stock purchased by other companies was not acquired from the public; it was acquired through a private placement, so there was a mutual agreement between the companies. Also, the reference that I use lists these acquisitions as divestments when viewed from the primary company; that would be Red Hat in this case. Gary King (talk) 03:24, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, I wandered if it was something like that. I must admit I am slightly puzzled how the amount of stock bought can be kept secret if Red Hat is a public quoted company (which I presume it is) but perhaps that discussion is not relevant to this FLC. I would still say that it is a different thing from selling off a subsidiary or division. You also need to sort out whether the term 'divestment' or 'divestiture' is right. Boissière (talk) 20:36, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The financial website that I used as the reference uses the term "divestment" consistently. Gary King (talk) 20:41, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

previous FLC (07:25, 17 September 2008)
As before, I am nominating this list because:
- I believe it meets the FL criteria.
- it is a unique list and a unique topic.
- this list could be a guide for others wishing to create lists of this type.
Because of its unique nature, this list was peer reviewed before nomination. To read the reviewers' input, please go here. In addition, this article has a previous FLC nomination, archived above. In response to the concerns which I was not able to deal with 1 month ago due to moving, I have removed sort facilities from this article because they seem to be more of a hindrance than a help. It would be sorting apples and oranges anyway at this point. Thanks in advance! KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 15:16, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- It looks great, but I'd really like to see some sorting. It would be nice to be able to sort so you could quickly see how many records are held by the same player, how many records were set in the same year, etc. All you'd need to do is take out the reference row and convert it to a short sentence with a citation at the top of the section. Or, you could just put the citation in the table header by "Statistic" or "Record".-NatureBoyMD (talk) 23:48, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I'll take a look at it, but to be honest, I doubt my ability to get it right. Somebody explained the sortname template to me last time, but I still don't understand it. Apparently using the MLBY template screws something up, so that's going to require a huge amount of recoding. There's also the issue of the career tables; what year do they get sorted by!? I don't mind taking out the colspans, not a problem at all, but there are lots of other issues to be considered. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 13:52, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- You might be interested in looking at another current FLC: Nashville Sounds team records. There, I've got career record years sorted by the player's first season. Sorting by years there probably isn't as important as it would be in the other tables. You might want to replace the MLBY template with the hardcoded [[YYYY in baseball|YYYY]]; it would be a chore, but I see it as a relatively easy fix. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 17:00, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually it would have to be changed to [[YYYY Major League Baseball season|YYYY]], but I haven't been able to find any problems with the sorting using MLBY yet. It was mentioned to me in the previous FLC. I will take a look at it tomorrow evening (I won't have time before then because of plans tonight) and see what I can do.

- Is it possible to get references in for each episode?
- That should not be necessary since (1) the plots don't require refs, and (2) all the episodes articles in this list are allready GAs, which means they are already adequately referenced, and those refs are found in their respective articles. Nergaal (talk) 01:32, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Comments from SatyrTN
- This looks like a mashup of a list and an article. The paragraphs of text are longer than the actual list itself. Are the first three sections (Production, Cast, and Reception) specific to the season? I believe those sections are overwhelming the actual Episode List. Season 3 has half as much lede text as list, Season 2 and Season 1 seem to suffer the same as this one. I recognize that all three of those reached FL status, but IMO that's a shame :)
- Let's see "The fourth season premiere "Fun Run" received a 5.1/12 share in the Nielsen Ratings among viewers aged 18 to 49..." Your are right it refers to a completely different subject. Nergaal (talk) 00:02, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The user states that the list is more of an article, but how about these FL's: Lost (season 4), 30 Rock (season 2) and The O.C. (season 3)? They too have information other than the list. I am also working on a season list which is very similar to this one, and I would
hatereally dislike it if someone opposed it for having to much information. After all, isn't that a good thing? Corn.u.co.pia / Disc.us.sion 00:38, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]- And I'm sorry if I'm sounding rude or harsh, it's just that I'm confused. :-) Corn.u.co.pia / Disc.us.sion 00:39, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- As Cornucopia pointed out, this page matches the typical list format of the season pages. There is only one season article to my knowledge that is FA (Smallville (season 1)), and if you compare that page to this page you get a stark difference in format and information. This page, which includes something that I generally don't agree with or think is necesssary, takes things that could easily be presented in list format and puts them in sentences. In other words, when you read stuff like "Production", what you really find is a list of the people and studios involved in making the show (mainly that first paragraph). One thing I mentioned to Cornucopia on their talk page is the reusing of information from page to page. Why do we need to introduce the same series regulars with such detail on every Office related page? This is a daughter article of a larger parent article, and the parent article should be identifying characters. Anyone coming to season four's page is likely to know who the characters are. Unless the characters are new this season, the section is really unnecessary and seems to be used to bloat the page's size. Lastly, why are the episodes the last thing on the page? The page is about these episodes, so it would beg the idea that they should be first. I don't know why there was a restructing of season pages to have the episodes listed last, but it seems counterproductive to the concept of what the page is about (and that is the episodes of this season). BIGNOLE (Contact me) 04:01, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I mostly agree with Bignole here, although I'm struggling to see what the thing is that he finds unnecessary. This is a list. The "prose" could easily be presented in list format, it just isn't. As for putting the actual list of episodes first, I haven't seen that in any FL, only in the Smallville FA. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 16:17, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- What I find to be unnecessary is the repetative issuing of information in each of the pages (and sometimes within the page itself). Do I need to know there were 11 different directors that worked this season (even listing them out), when all I have to do is scroll down and count for myself? It seems like we're treating the reader like an invalid that cannot discern particular information for themselves. Does the reader need a reminder of who the same series regulars have been for four seasons? Stating who is a series regular can be done in the lead. The detail about who they are is covered in multiple pages that act as a parent to this one. Why are we repeating information from the main article about where the show is filmed? So much information is being repeated over and over again on each page, it's unnecessary. Unless there is something special about this season, there is no need to repeat yourself. The first two paragraphs of "Production" are repititious to the primary article, and that is what I'm calling "unnecessary". The Writers' Strike stuff is good, and should be kept most definitely. It's the stuff before that that is needless. If someone is reading each of the season pages, why would they want read the same stuff over and over again each time they move on to the next page.
- As for the format of the page. As I said, I don't know why editors started putting the episode table at the bottom, it makes no sense when the page is supposed to be about the episodes of this season. Once it started it seemed to become an epidemic because more editors wanted to get season articles created and to FL so they just followed suit with what the first one did. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 05:58, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- One of the main issues with this would be an ever-divided opinion on what is "Comprehensive", as loosely defined by the FL criteria. Because of the many FLs that include wide sections of prose on cast and production, many would believe that removing these would prevent the article from being Comprehensive. I must say that I follow this opinion also. Mastrchf (t/c) 13:12, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It is comprehensive for the season that you are trying to attain, not comprehensive for the entire show. Comprehensive means "covers all major aspects", but that isn't the same as "repeats the same information on 5 pages". It's fluff, that's what it is. Why people feel the need to add "fluff" to pages is beyond me. What is relevant and comprehensive to season four of this topic is the reception of the topic, what the topic is about, and if there were any changes during this season. Restating the same tired information over and over again has nothing to do with comprehensiveness of season four of this show. You're attributing generalized information about the show to this specific season, and you shouldn't be doing that. Articles should be comprehensive but succinct. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 22:01, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Unfortunately, I'm quite sure most do not treat the season pages as articles of a series. I feel that it's to the ease of the reader to keep each of the sections in, and then let the reader select what they wish to or don't wish to read. I understand completely what you mean, and I too feel that it can be a bit repetitive, but It's not as if the reader is "forced" to read any part. Mastrchf (t/c) 22:34, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Either NBA is the publisher, or NBA.com is the work, or both, not the reverse. Reference 1, 2, 4, 5, and 44 are formatted incorrectly in this way.

- The Walter A. Brown Trophy was awarded to the National Basketball Association (NBA) (or Basketball Association of America (BAA) from 1946 to 1949) team who won the NBA Finals at the conclusion of each NBA season from 1949 to 1977 - the "or" makes it seem like they are not the same promotion. How about use the instead of or.
- The first winner of the trophy was the Philadelphia Warriors, who defeated the Chicago Stags. - How about The inaugural winner of the trophy was the Philadelphia Warriors, who defeated the Chicago Stags. This also needs to be verified with a source.
- The trophy was once referred to as the NBA Finals trophy,[1] but it was renamed in 1964 after Walter A. Brown, in honor of the original owner of the Boston Celtics who was instrumental in merging the Basketball Association of America and the National Basketball League into the NBA in 1949. 1)"once" is weasel talk, be more specific when. 2)Since you already stated earlier the acronyms, the acronyms should just be used here versus the entire names.
- Unlike the original championship trophy, the new trophy was given permanently to the winning team and a new one is made every year. - is --> was.
- The Boston Celtics, who won the NBA Finals eight years consecutively and made it to the NBA Finals 12 out of 13 years from 1957 to 1969, won the trophy a total of 13 times, most in league history. - This sentence is confusing, so they won the finals 8 straight years and were featured in the finals 12 out of 13 years, 13 years of what? the trophy's exsistence?

Radiohead is one of my favorite contemporary bands :) Gary King (talk) 15:42, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- They met while attending Abingdon School, a boys-only public school in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. - Abingdon is pipelinked just to Abingdon, just link the whole thing, "Abingdon, Oxfordshire"
- The band have received five BRIT Award nominations but has yet to win one. - comma after nominations.
- Some of the publishers need to be linked and spelled out entirely.--SRX 21:14, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd rather just link the city name since cities and states are supposed to be linked separately. Comma is unnecessary. The acronym publishers are better known by their acronyms than their full names, like the BBC. Gary King (talk) 00:36, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comma is necessary because when you read it out loud you need to take a pause before going on to "but". Also, well at least link the publishers.--SRX 00:58, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I added the comma, but I still disagree with it. My personal preference is to not link publishers; sometimes people want, sometimes they don't. I assume it's to learn more about the publisher, which may be helpful in knowing if it's relevant and reliable, but in most cases it just causes unnecessary overlinking in the references as they should probably all be linked since you can't tell which reference the reader would land on first.

- All done. "As a teenager", to me, seems like he was taking advantage of this stage of adulthood, as if he thought "I'm a teenager so I will go do this" when in fact it's probably more like "I'm going to do this; it just so happens that I'm a teenager." In any case, "While a teenager" is also safer as it doesn't assume anything. Regarding the quote, it's right in the citation.

We are nominating this list because we believe it meets the FL criteria and is consistent with other Opening Day starting pitcher featured lists. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] and Rlendog (talk) 03:21, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Mike Witt has the record for most Opening Day starts for the Angels, with five. - the first for should be of.
- That doesn't seem to sound right. Just going through some other Wikipedia articles of record holders (admittedly not featured articles) they seem to use "record for" in this context. For example, from Hank Aaron:"His most notable achievement was setting the MLB record for most career home runs with 755...", and from Lou Gehrig:"His record for most career grand slams (23) still stands as of 2008." I think it should say "record of" 3-0 if I was describing his win-loss record, but "record for" number of wins when describing the category he is a recordholder for. Rlendog (talk) 23:24, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- The franchise has also gone by the names "Los Angeles Angels", "California Angels" and "Anaheim Angels" at various points in its history. Please provide a source on the various names and consider detailing when these various names were in use.
- No decisions are only awarded to the starting pitcher if the game is won or lost after the starting pitcher has left the game. Clarify that a no decision can also result if a starting pitcher does not pitch five full innings, even if his team retains the lead and wins. We should consider a standard wording describing the no decision.

- But it's on the list itself though. -- SRE.K.A
nnoyomous.L.24[c] 04:36, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]- I added the B-R summary as a reference in a couple more places, particularly the paragraph that counts various pitchers' Opening Day starts. Rlendog (talk) 18:32, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The Angels have played in two home ball parks. This and the subsequent paragraphs should be sourced. The Angels site at mlb.com has a ballparks history available.
- ...their starting pitchers have 13 wins and 12 losses (13–12) with 2 no decisions - As I see it, we can say "13 wins and 12 losses" or "13–12" but I don't see that both need to be used. This occurs in several places.

- The 24 starters have a combined Opening Day record of 23 wins, 18 losses (23–18) and 7 no decisions. - Again use either the "23 wins, 18 losses" or "23–18", probably not both. There's no reason not to mix up the two styles in the remainder of the article.
- They played their first season in Wrigley Field...' Clarify that this is not the one in Chicago. The source came in handy in this expansion.
- The Angels have played in one World Series championship in their history, which they won in 2002. Can I suggest linking "2002" to the 2002 World Series instead of the baseball season article.
- Again, there is no obligation to accept these changes, only that you will consider them. Your disagreement will not dissuade me from supporting the article.
- Again, thanks for telling me, but I answered all of your comments in order to get a support from you.

- Apple's business philosophy is to acquire small companies that can be easily integrated into existing company projects. - sounds POV since there is no source to verify this statement.
- How about in the lead stating how many companies overall were acquired/merged, not just in the U.S.
- Also, how about stating what was the first acquisition and the most recent one.

- All done. Their business philosophy uses the reference at the end of the paragraph, but I moved it up to clarify this. Also, the first paragraph already states the total number of acquisitions. I've added what the first acquisition was; however, I don't want to add the most recent one since that can change fairly often. The reference list actually changes the number of columns based on your screen size; if you shrink your browser then you will see that it changes the number of columns, which fixes the problem with normal three-column reference lists.

Comment This has the same divestment confusion as the Red Hat one. It would appear that three of the 'divestments' are actually other companies buying stakes in Apple. However in the lead you say that five companies in total were divested. This doesn't seem to tally at all. I think that these three placements (which from your comment on the Red Hat FLC I presume they are) should go in a separate table in the article. If you did that, then you could have a different set of headings e.g. you could get rid of the 'Target Company' and 'Target business' sections (which are always going to be Apple and Personal Computers) and perhaps replace them with the percentage acquired (if known). The two actual sell-offs would remain in the existing table. Boissière (talk) 20:50, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I've reworded the bit in the lead to imply that not all of the divestments were "parts of the company". I don't think the Divestment table should be split; the reference that I use, for instance, considers them as Divestments as lists them along with the others.

- Jones also hold the most Opening Day starts consecutively with 3, holding it with Andy Benes and Jake Peavy. - "hold" should be pluaral. Well if he holds the record with other players, then the sentence is incorrect because he himself doesn't hold the most starts, needs rewording.

- Andy Benes has the most Opening Day losses consecutively with 3 from 1993 to 1995. Jake Peavy was the Opening Day starting pitcher for the Padres since 2006. - 1)Benes and Peavy do not need to be linked again per WP:OVERLINK. 2)You have already mentioned them, you have to just mention them by their last name.
- Overall, the Padres's Opening Day starting pitchers have a record of 8 wins and 5 losses at San Diego Stadium/Jack Murphy Stadium/Qualcomm Stadium, and 2 wins and 0 losses at Petco Park. "Padres's" should be "Padres'"
- In addition, although the Padres were nominally the home team on Opening Day 1999, the game was played in Estadio de Beisbol Monterrey in Monterrey, Mexico. - "In addition" is a bad transclusion. How about "On Opening Day in 1999, the game was played in Estadio de Beisbol Moterrey in Monterrey, Mexico." You should say why, to make it seem notable.
- I don't really think it's a bad transclusion, since if I put it your way, then they wouldn't know if they were home or away. Also, I don't know why they had it in Mexico. I'll try searching it up. -- SRE.K.A

Support - all FL criteria appears to be met. Good job. --Mr.crabby (Talk) 15:35, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support—Meets all criteria and matches the format of other Featured Opening Day lists. Dabomb87 (talk) 17:11, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Consistent with the other Opening Day starting pitcher lists that are Featured Lists. In the interest of full disclosre, I have made an edit to this page prior to the FLC. - Rlendog (talk) 19:38, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from RyanCross:
- Delink the second link to Major League Baseball in the lead – Avoid WP:OVERLINKing.
- Baseball-Reference is linked in the references, why isn't MLB.com?
- done
- "In addition, although the Padres were nominally the home team" – "nominally" to "normally"? Not sure if this was a type or not, so I'll let you decide.
- I just copied the sentence structure from the List of New York Mets Opening Day starting pitchers. -- SRE.K.A

- San Diego Stadium/Jack Murphy Stadium/Qualcomm Stadium - is this really necessary? Just use the current name.
- I rewrote the sentence. Check if I did anything wrong. -- SRE.K.A

- Why are you using boldface inside the table? If it's not necessary, don't use it.
- Look at the key first. The bold faces letterings are to indicate the home stadium. -- SRE.K.A
nnoyomous.L.24[c] 05:05, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]- I can look at the key all day and still I will not understand why it's necessary to use boldface in this table. Boldface should only be used where WP:BOLDFACE tells you. I don't see anywhere the "use bold to indicate something" guideline.--Crzycheetah 07:27, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Comments from Killervogel5
- "The Padres have used 23 different Opening Day starting pitchers in its 40 seasons." - subject and object do not agree. It needs to be "Padres franchise" or "their 40 seasons." One or the other.
- "The Padres first Opening Day starting pitcher" - Padres'
- "The Padres went on to play in the MLB post-season 5 times" - post-season should be linked to Playoffs#Playoffs in Major League Baseball.
- Key: "No Decision" - No decision. No caps in the second word.
- DONE -- SRE.K.A
nnoyomous.L.24[c] 02:22, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]- If you are going to link no decision in the key (really not necessary because it's linked above), it should not be linked twice in quick succession. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on!
- Neither the Pat Dobson image nor the Eric Show image have fair use rationales for use in this article, and I doubt that you can provide one because there are other appropriate images already being used to illustrate. Remove.
- DONE -- SRE.K.A
nnoyomous.L.24[c] 02:22, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply] - Hope this helps. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 02:13, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- In mid-2003, extension to San Francisco International Airport and Millbrae was completed, bringing BART further south into the San Mateo County. - how about In mid-2003, extensions to San Francisco International Airport and Millbrae were completed, which brung BART further south into the San Mateo County. Per tenses.
- Fixed, though I use brought instead of brung.—Chris! ct 02:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- In additions, BART connects its Coliseum/Oakland Airport station to the Oakland International Airport with AirBART, a shuttle bus service. - addition not additions in this context.
- The majority of stations are located in the Alameda County with 19. - how about The majority of stations, 19, are located in the Alameda County.
- 10 stations are in the Contra Costa County while eight are in the City and County of San Francisco. - comma after Contra Costa County.
- Six stations are in the San Mateo County, though it is not part of the BART district. - elaboration about what "not part of the Bart district" means?
- The term "Bart district" is explained in the first paragraph—Chris! ct 02:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The footnotes don't work properly, when I click the [b] for the daily ridership, it doesn't redirect me to the footnote. Same thing for the [a].
- All ridership statistics are daily average exits on weekday from April 2008 to June 2008. - weekday should be plural.
- Why do you link weekday in note C versus doing it in note b?
--SRX 23:53, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The system currently has a total of 43 stations: 15 surface, 13 elevated and 15 subway. - now as a reader who knows nothing about subways, what does elevated mean? Also a comma should be after elevated. Also, wouldn't it be "15 on surface" and "subways" not "subway"?
- Partially fixed. Though I don't think I can explain "elevated" more clearly. Any suggestions?—Chris! ct 02:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Well first of all, what does elevated mean? Plus, a comma is needed after elevated.--SRX 02:58, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It means elevated metro station—Chris! ct 03:40, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I added a link for elevated station. Hopefully that makes the term clearer to readers.—Chris! ct 06:12, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Okay that helps, but why pipelink to the glossary when you can pipe to elevated railway?--SRX 15:09, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Elevated railway redirect to rapid transit. I guess it could work if that page explains what "elevated" is.—Chris! ct 18:29, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- The references lack publisher info.
- I just checked. Every ref has publisher info.—Chris! ct 02:43, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Removed—Chris! ct 02:43, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Image captions are unnecessarily wordy. "View of" and "The" are often not needed.
- View of station platform of the MacArthur station. Is not a complete sentence.
- Comments and thoughts:
- You might want to apply the background colors in the table to whole lines instead of only the first field.
- I don't know the difference between "Official transfer stations" and "Terminals". Should I have to click the links to find out, or could you explain it right there?
- The terms are clear to me so I am not sure how to make them more clear. Any suggestion?—Chris! ct 02:43, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The image in the lead seems a bit too large.
- How about reshaping the "Citations" and "Bibliography" sections into looking like the "References" section of List of Bleach episodes (season 5)? You might also fit in the "Notes" to make it a "References and Notes" section.
- Why are the names of the Official transfer stations bolded in addition to the background color? This might be too much formating.
- -- Goodraise (talk) 02:20, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Issues brought up after support was declared:
- The lead sections Image needs a more descriptive caption, as the current one is useless without the actual image.
- The Wikimedia Commons template might waste less space if it were placed higher in the section.
- Both addressed —Chris! ct 05:53, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support: MOS appears to be adhered to. Footnotes look good. Overall appearance is pleasing. Lead section goes into sufficient detail. Supporting materials are rich yet not overwhelming. Image captions are suitable
(with exception mentioned above). In my judgement, the nomination meetsFL criteria one through sixevery FL criteria. Therefore I'm now supporting this nomination. -- Goodraise (talk) 03:36, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Another rail list - good work. Just a few Comments
- "...in California consisted of three counties..." - Do you mean "consisting"?
- Fixed —Chris! ct 00:23, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "fifth largest rapid transit systems" - should be singular.
- Fixed —Chris! ct 00:23, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think that the "Lines" column should be sortable as each cell can contain multiple entries. This seems to be the rule in other FLs.
- Fixed —Chris! ct 00:23, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't understand the "Authority" bit in the City/Authority column. Presumably it is because of the airport station but I don't understand why it is different (i.e. why isn't the city containing the airport not put here?).
- The reason I didn't use the city is that the airport is within another county, not in San Francisco. But since it is generally considered San Francisco, I've change it to San Francisco.—Chris! ct 00:23, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I am not convinced that future stations (even if they are fairly certain) should be in the main list. One problem is that the West Dublin/Pleasanton station slightly screws up the Year opened and Ridership sorting - it always appears first. Either add it in when it opens or maybe have a small "Stations under construction" list after the main one. If you choose to leave it in in some form then, in the description, please replace the colloquial "slated" with "due".
- Fixed —Chris! ct 00:23, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The list was promoted by User:Scorpion0422 16:20, 4 November 2008 [77]. previous FLC (22:00, 30 September 2008) I'm resubmitting this list for FL consideration because I feel it deserves the promotion. I feel that the main reason it failed in its previous nomination was that it simply didn't get enough support, in spite of the fact that most of the issues raised by reviewers were addressed. I also feel that another reason it didn't pass was because of the stigma attached to hepatitis C. It's a short list because of this stigma; not many celebrities seem to want to admit publicly that they have the disease. Hepatitis C, in spite of its prevalence (Hep C patients outnumber HIV patients 5 to 1), is also difficult to diagnose; most people who have it don't know, so it goes unreported and thus, untreated. This kind of list goes far in alleviating this stigma, and encourages people to get tested, so it has great educational value. --Figureskatingfan (talk) 05:14, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Well sourced list. Minor info I miss is the nationalities. But I see this also hasn't been added to List of poliomyelitis survivors. Garion96 (talk) 23:12, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply] Support - Hepatitis C is a disease that is quickly becoming a silent epidemic. It is astonishing how many people are unaware of how the virus is transmitted and what it can do to you. Outreach and education are so important to the Hepatitis C cause right now and I only wish there were more opportunities like these to make people aware. I completely support this list's nomination to be a featured list.
