List of Pune Warriors India cricketers

Nominator(s): ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 07:39, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because it meets the criteria. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 07:39, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Quick comments from Harrias talk
  • The dashes in batting average should sort at the bottom, at least for the cases when the player has not batted.
It is already like that.
Do you want them to sort at bottom while in ascending order or while in descending order? ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 10:28, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think that the best bowling average (40.07) should sort top, then down through the numbers to 0.00, and then the dashes. Harrias talk 10:20, 24 December 2013 (UTC)  Done[reply]
Resolved comments from —Vensatry (Ping me)
Comments from —Vensatry (Ping me)
  • Alt text should name the subject per WP:ALT
  • "Sourav Ganguly had captained Pune Warriors India in highest number of matches" -> Sourav Ganguly had captained Pune Warriors India in the highest number of matches
  • The use of colon in "Ashok Dinda had the best bowling figures..." is wrong, rather semi colon should be used. Also in the last sentence of the first para colon is incorrectly used. There should be a pause between the figure and the following text.
  • It's better to place the last sentence just above the table (in italics)
  • You don't have descriptions for "ave", "Wkt" and "BBI" in the key.
  • You have "Centuries scored" listed in the key but not in the table, though none of the players scored a hundred.
  • In the table yo;ve linked "Bowling" and "Fielding" but not "Batting".
  • Why is ESPNcricinfo (in the publisher parameter) linked in ref #4 alone?
  • "See also" section should be placed above your notes and references.

Additional comments (re-visit)

  • Link publisher (CricketArchive)in ref #8
  • For Batting average, dashes should appear at the top while sorting by descending order
  • The IPL template is not needed here as it doesn't link here.

Comments—on prose only,
  • The best bowling average among bowlers who had bowled more than 20 overs was Yuvraj Singh's: 22.93. No need of column (:).
  • Link bowling figures (bowling analysis).
  • ...while only conceding 18 runs. No need of while only.
  • In the 1st and second Footnotes: This doesn't includes → include
  • inning/s → innings
  • Link not out in the Footnotes.
  • Period at the end of the third note.

List of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine cast members

Nominator(s): Miyagawa (talk) 15:25, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article is a follow up to the previously promoted List of Star Trek: The Next Generation cast members. I recently changed the format of the DS9 article in line with changes another editor made to the TNG one, and as seen on other FLs such as List of Grey's Anatomy cast members. The DS9 article is fully cited to reliable sources. Miyagawa (talk) 15:25, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, very good formatting and tabulation, appropriately referenced throughout, one fair use image used with appropriate fair use rationale given on image page. Cheers, — Cirt (talk) 07:41, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - nice and solid, like the TNG list. A few comments:
  • In footnote 7, link io9, and mark it as the work, with Gawker Media as the publisher.
  • In footnote 28, unlink tor.com, set it as the work, and put Tor Books as the publisher.
  • In the references, link Pocket Books.
  • Consider archiving your online references with a tool like web.archive.org or webcitation.org, so that website drift/decay doesn't wipe out your cited information in the future. --PresN 23:34, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks - I've linked those as suggested and added all the archive urls. I should know how much of a pain the star trek official website is as I'm always fishing things out of the archives that they don't have online anymore. Miyagawa (talk) 19:42, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

40th Daytime Emmy Awards

Nominator(s):  — SoapFan12 (talk, contribs) 12:09, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe that it meets the every single criteria. Also, I believe it to be well sourced and clear. After much tweaking and further adjustments I feel that it is worthy of being a Featured List. I believe this list is worthy, considering I worked on it with promoted Featured lists in mind. If you oppose, please address your issues here so they can be resolved.

Resolved comments from Birdienest81 (talk) 16:44, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
  • For the presenters and performers, awards as roles seems awkward. Add the phrase "Presenter(s) of the award for..." before each award. For example, with Erica Slezak's role, rename it as "Presenter of the award for Outstanding Drama Series"
  • The table with the key dates seems unnecessary since the awards already has occurred. The Oscar ceremony lists and the 29th Golden Raspberry Awards does not have any list for key dates. I also do not think casual readers care about such technical aspects such as DVD's screeners and such. If you want to mention that stuff, I think it would be better served if the procedures and timeline of voting were presented in a paragraph format with prose. Otherwise, it should be dropped completely.
  • Not necessarily important, but maybe order the presenters by appearance from first to last (if possible).
--Birdienest81 (talk) 04:06, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support: The list looks really good. Well done.

List of municipalities in Alberta

Nominator(s): Hwy43 (talk) 19:38, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because it is a complete and comprehensive list of all municipalities within the Province of Alberta (Canada) completed to the same standard as the recently FLC promoted equivalents for other Canadian provinces, namely List of municipalities in Manitoba and List of municipalities in Ontario. Hwy43 (talk) 19:38, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Dudley Miles
This is an excellent list. On a quick look, I have a few minor quibbles.
  • "Alberta's 357 municipalities cover 99.8% of the province's land mass and are home to 98.6% of its population." This implies that 1.4% of the population live in 0.2% of the land mass which is not in municipalities. How is this?
  • "in some cases, Metis settlements." "In some cases" sounds vague. I would explain it or leave it out. Also, I know you link Metis, but it is so unusual (at least to me) that I would prefer an definition in brackets.
I've wondered about this as well. With these individual province articles all using a navbox, List of municipalities in Canada should be created with something. 117Avenue (talk) 03:09, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've been thinking of creating something for a while now, but have been focused more so on FLing the provincial lists first with Mattximus. Do you want to create something 117, or do you want me to take a crack at an interim stub for now? Cheers, Hwy43 (talk) 05:20, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've created a redirect for now, I don't want to distract you from FLing. 117Avenue (talk) 06:46, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Was thinking this as well, it would be a nice finale to bring this to featured topic. The List of municipalities in Canada would be easiest to create once the provinces are complete. Mattximus (talk) 16:16, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry to always be that guy, but, as you know, this list is extremely duplicative of List of communities in Alberta, and again with Specialized municipalities of Alberta, List of municipal districts in Alberta, List of cities in Alberta, List of towns in Alberta, List of summer villages in Alberta, and List of census agglomerations in Alberta. Yes, those include a little bit more info and some former municipalities, but I don't see why the same datasets should be copied three times. I was a bit confused by seeing identical information in different places, and duplication and redundancy can pose the problem of the pages falling out of sync when changes are made, so I would encourage a simple merge. The communities list appears to already have everything that's in this list, plus the unincorporated settlements. Reywas92Talk 14:50, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • See this recent deletion proposal that resulted in a speedy keep. You are correct there is duplication. However, what you may not have yet seen is that all the data in the tables at the main articles is transcluded to the List of communities in Alberta article, so thus far there is no duplication with risk of pages falling out of sync when changes are made. For this list article, the specialized municipality and Metis settlement table data are both transcluded from their main articles as well. The intent was to implement complex customized transclusion to do the same from the main articles for the urban and rural municipalities as well, but I haven't mastered that yet. I do intend to investigate this further as redundancy has been a concern that I've voiced previously.[5][6] In the meantime, as you've also noticed, the main articles do contain more information for each municipal type (more columns, additional sections, lists of former municipalities, etc.), which would bog down this summary list article of all varying municipality types and require splitting back to the current state. Hwy43 (talk) 04:45, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I had this criticism as well for a prior nomination. Especially with articles like list of towns, villages, districts etc that you mention I'm still on the fence. I have sympathy for list of census agglomerations (which are very different) and list of communities which is like a catch all. What convinced me was WP:NOTPAPER. As long as each page adds *something* that is not found in this list then why not? I believe the list of municipalities is probably the best and most useful page out of the lot you mention, as municipalities are actual governing entities with borders and tax payers and elected officials. Something like census divisions are just for statistical purposes, and communities is a mishmash, so I'm glad this is the one that is being nominated, for what it's worth.Mattximus (talk) 23:31, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from Mattximus
Comments from Mattximus (talk) 23:34, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • The page has a lot of maps, many of them are quite good. But I'm wondering for simplification sake (and formatting will look much better), is it possible to merge the 3 maps found just under Rural municipalities into one, and leave it on the right so text can follow on the left?
  • Can the Specialized municipalities table be sortable?
  • Question Are the metis settlements actual municipalities (or function like a muncipality?) The paragraphs indicate it's both a community and municipality, is this correct?
  • Municipalities are communities (incorporated communities) but not all communities are municipalities (as there are unincorporated communities). It can confuse nonetheless though so I have removed the reference to "community" in that section. Hwy43 (talk) 23:26, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have replaced all the Metis with Métis. Hope that's ok.
  • Would you consider a hybrid? Keep Metis for any reference to any document that spells it as such, but when talking about the people without specific reference to document as Métis?
  • I do not have any view which is best but I think the same should be used throughout. Showing the name two different ways would be confusing for readers, who might think it means two different things. Dudley Miles (talk) 13:40, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Layout is much better with the merged maps. Excellent list. Mattximus (talk) 16:58, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support. A very good list. I have not tried to make my comments resolved as one of them led on to comments by other editors. By the way, is there a template for making comments resolved? Dudley Miles (talk) 18:24, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 17:24, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
  • Image captions which are complete sentences should take a full stop.
  • Not keen on the placement of a lot of the references, there's no reason a reader can't wait until the end of a sentence to find the reference for the fact being stated.
  • Are "acts" of law italicised? Question really since many on Wikipedia are not.
  • Italics removed for now – I treat legislation titles like book titles as they were traditionally published in hard copy. I'm having second thoughts about removing though. Hwy43 (talk) 04:36, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why has Metis lost its accent?
  • "summer village" or "Summer Village"?
  • Latter is only used once and is used correctly in its context. It is capitalized here because it is forming part of the official legal name of the subject municipality. Hwy43 (talk) 04:36, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "...is a type of urban municipality" what is this bringing to each section since each time you say exactly the same thing?
  • Four paragraphs and yet you manage to mention "specialized municipality" 13 times, it makes for bland reading.
  • Do we really need land areas in the prose to be accurate to 1/100th of a square kilometre? It looks really awkward.
  • Would recommend you use something more explicit than "List" for all the lists, just in case someone wants to link to specific sections of the article.
  • PDF references with multiple pages should cite the page (or page range) relevant to a reference.
  • Partially done – added pages to all those where appropriate, with the exception of five of the sets of municipal profiles (cities, towns, villages, summer villages and municipal districts) as the amount of unique relevant pages are excessive (16, 108, 93, 51 and 64 respectively) and none of them are sequential (so a range can't be used to avoid listing every single unique page).

    Adding pages aren't appropriate to the balance of PDF references based on the content they support. For example, the entire Special Areas Act and Metis Settlements Acts stipulate governance of the their respective 3 and 8 municipalities, so no need to page-range their entire PDFs. Same applies to the various multi-page orders in council and the like that entirely support the applicable content presented in the article (e.g., name changes/previous names, incorporations, dissolutions, amalgamations and status changes). Hwy43 (talk) 22:17, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ref 24, 41 etc need to be fixed for en-dashes rather than spaced hyphens per WP:DASH.

List of light cruisers of Germany

Nominator(s): Parsecboy (talk) 10:41, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Another in my series of German warship types, this comprises the light cruisers built from the 1890s to the 1940s. This is the capstone for this topic. It passed a MILHIST ACR last month. Thanks to all who take the time to review the list. Parsecboy (talk) 10:41, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On first glance I find nothing wrong with the list, although list is a bit of an understatement. However, I found some minor points that should be addressed:

  • The first sentence - though accurate - seems unnecessarily complicated to me. Maybe we could drop the reference to the different historical periods as they are reflected in the names of the navies mentioned?
    • Sounds fine to me.
  • The second chapter is titled World War II-era, but covers mostly the inter-war period. Maybe it should be called Post-World War I-era or something alike.
    • Well, they all saw action during the war, which is primarily what they're notable for. The same could be said for the WWI-era section, since the vast majority were built before 1914. Parsecboy (talk) 18:14, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the paragraph on Emden (1925) the phrase "by the reformed Reichsmarine" is used. As someone else pointed out, it should be re-formed, as it is rather questionable that the Reichsmarine saw the errors of its ways and repented.
    • Good catch.
  • In the paragraph on the Leipzig-class, Gotenhafen is mentioned. Maybe it could be extended by the present-day name, Gdynia, Poland. And a time reference would be in order.

ÄDA - DÄP VA (talk) 17:55, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A good list. A few minor comments.

  • "foreign stations" - I think this should be defined.
    • In the lead? There are too many places to list them in the lead, and simply adding something like "in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific oceans" seems vague to the point of uselessness. Parsecboy (talk) 17:03, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "five members of the succeeding Königsberg and Leipzig classes" - presumably members means ships but it sounds a bit odd to me.
    • It's a pretty routine way to refer to the ships in a class.
  • "A further six ships of the M class were planned in the late 1930s, but the outbreak of war forced their cancellation." Why would war force their cancellation rather than making proceeding with them a higher priority? (I see this is explained below but I think a revised wording would be helpful).
    • Because once war breaks out, the most pressing needs get priority of construction (in this case, U-boats). Again, I think spelling this out is too much detail in the lead.
  • Brummer class. "And to further aid them in their offensive minelaying role, they were designed to resemble British cruisers." Why did resembling British cruisers help them - for disguise?

Dudley Miles (talk) 14:41, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    • Yes - if you spot a ship in the foggy, squally North Sea that looks like a British ship, you won't open fire immediately, which gives the German ships a bit longer to escape. Added "to help conceal their identity." - does that clear it up any? Thanks for reviewing the list. Parsecboy (talk) 17:03, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support typically excellent work. Would only have one wish, that the tables were all formatted the same, but it may be a screen width issue that shrinks the Karlsruhe section and Cöln section compared to the others. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:38, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, TRM. I've checked the tables on my desktop, laptop and smart phone and they all looked fine on those screens, but I guess that wasn't enough ;) I added {{clear}} templates after the images so that should keep them from pushing the tables over. Parsecboy (talk) 22:21, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I see the article is written in AmEng, but is it normal to have a non-US date format used as well? - SchroCat (talk) 09:12, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Germany uses day-month-year format so that's what I went with. Parsecboy (talk) 10:51, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Lovely - learn something new every day! Many thanks - SchroCat (talk) 16:52, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

List of international cricket centuries by Herschelle Gibbs

Nominator(s): —Vensatry (Ping me) 05:21, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Herschelle Gibbs is among the greatest ODI players of all-time. With 21 ODI centuries, he leads his countrymen and has played many match-winning innings in both Tests as well as ODIs. Given my current FLC has gained substantial support with most of the remaining concerns being addressed, I guess this nomination is permissible —Vensatry (Ping me) 05:21, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
