Revision as of 13:04, 19 January 2014
Nominating featured lists in Wikipedia Welcome to featured list candidates! Here, we determine which lists are of a good enough quality to be featured lists (FLs). Featured lists exemplify Wikipedia's very best work and must satisfy the featured list criteria. Before nominating a list, nominators may wish to receive feedback by listing it at peer review. This process is not a substitute for peer review. Nominators must be sufficiently familiar with the subject matter and sources to deal with objections during the featured list candidate (FLC) process. Those who are not significant contributors to the list should consult regular editors of the list before nomination. Nominators are expected to respond positively to constructive criticism and to make an effort to address objections promptly. A list should not be listed at featured list candidates and another review process at the same time. Nominators should not add a second featured list nomination until the first has gained substantial support and reviewers' concerns have been substantially addressed. The featured list director, Giants2008, or his delegates, PresN and Hey man im josh, determine the timing of the process for each nomination. Each nomination will typically last at least twenty days, but may last longer if changes are ongoing or insufficient discussion or analysis has occurred. For a nomination to be promoted to FL status, consensus must be reached that it meets the criteria. The directors determine whether there is consensus. A nomination will be removed from the list and archived if, in the judgment of the director who considers a nomination and its reviews:
It is assumed that all nominations have good qualities; this is why the process focuses on finding and resolving problems in relation to the criteria, rather than asserting the positives. Declarations of support are not as important as finding and resolving issues, and the process is not simply vote-counting. Once the director or delegate has decided to close a nomination, they will do so on the nominations page. A bot will update the list talk page after the list is promoted or the nomination archived, typically within the day, and the Purge the cache to refresh this page – Table of contents – Closing instructions |

Nominations urgently needing reviews
The following lists were nominated almost 2 months ago and have had their review time extended because objections are still being addressed, the nomination has not received enough reviews, or insufficient information has been provided by reviewers to judge whether the criteria have been met. If you have not yet reviewed them, please take the time to do so:
Source reviews needed
The following lists were nominated for removal more than 14 days ago:

Nominations
- The following is an archived discussion of a featured list nomination. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the article's talk page or in Wikipedia talk:Featured list candidates. No further edits should be made to this page.
The list was not promoted by Giants2008 21:29, 9 March 2014 [1].
- Nominator(s): Well-restedTalk 12:55, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am nominating this for featured list because this is one of the most important evaluations a school could go through with regards to accounting education, and because it is informative for future generations of accounting students. Well-restedTalk 12:55, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Quick comment on the title of the list: as stated in the body of the article, there are currently two types of AACSB accreditation, business and accounting. This list focuses on the accounting accreditation only, since it would not have been possible to combine both business- and accounting-accredited schools into a single list (it would definitely have been over 60kb). At some point I might create "List of AACSB-accredited schools (business)" to focus on schools with only the business accreditation, so the two lists will have nicely consistent titles. -Well-restedTalk 13:02, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment why is there a column that lists the state in some cases, the city in others, and then none at all in others? I would think it would be best to not mix levels of government in a single column. I suggest choosing one and applying it consistently to all colleges. Or if you want to maintain the "state", make it a second column. Mattximus (talk) 15:18, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Fixed. That column actually lists only states, with the exception of the universities from China. The closest equivalent to "states" in China are provinces, which include Beijing (a Municipality) and Hong Kong (a Special Administrative Region). I've therefore edited the header to reflect that the column includes either states or provinces. -Well-restedTalk 19:08, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Are you sure it wouldn't be better to just list the city instead of the state/province? At the very least you need to fill in those blanks for all but Singapore. Also, it's more common here to call it Taiwan rather than Chinese Taipei. And I believe that you should link at least the first incidence of the country in the table to the corresponding wiki page. Mattximus (talk) 17:34, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Mattximus. I think you're right regarding Taiwan vs. Chinese Taipei. I used the latter simply because the AACSB uses that in its list of accounting-accredited schools, but yeah I should probably use the common name. (I'm not too familiar with country naming conventions!) Suggestions implemented. :)
- Regarding the state/province/city, I think you're right that city might be better since it's a little more specific. What do you think of having both city and state as columns? Would that be overkill? Just checking before I make the change.
- --Well-restedTalk 19:05, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Changes being made. Just adding a note that I'll be making some changes to the list based on Mattximus' suggestions, in particular adding city information (either as a separate column or in place of the state column). I'm also considering adding some other information available on the AACSB's website, namely enrollment and possibly number of faculty. I'll add an update here when the changes are completed. -Well-restedTalk 19:22, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: (having stumbled here from my FLC discussion page). Looks pretty good but I see from the above comment by Well-rested that some changes are in progress. Please update when that's done and I'll revisit with additional comments. Cheers, — Cirt (talk) 00:28, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Drive by Comment - It seems that the school and university columns are not separated properly (there are schools in the university column and vice versa). Will return if there is movement on the list.-Godot13 (talk) 07:38, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose - looks like Well-rested never managed to come back to this, there's been no activity for a month. It's laid out the way the header says for about half the list, then the city column turns into a state, then the college and university columns swap places and the US stops being linked. Also: Ref 1 needs more detail, Wall Street Journal at minimum should be linked in ref 3, and "and almost the top business programs in the United States" needs an "all". --PresN 19:12, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Nominator(s): Red Phoenix build the future...remember the past... 03:30, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This one's the "big daddy" of all of the Sega games lists I've sent here, and its promotion would complete an excellent series: Sega Genesis is a featured article already, and both of the console's add ons, the Sega CD and Sega 32X have had their games lists pass FLCs recently as well, making this list the keystone to deep coverage in both the console itself and video game lists. This was a HUGE undertaking, at over 900 individual titles! Not only that, but adding in the incredible world diversity of the titles released from Japan, North America, and PAL territories to Brazil, Taiwan, Korea... it's taken a lot to track down so many titles and clean up what this listing once was, and I can count at least three or four days I've spent sitting at my computer cleaning this list up. After so much effort, it's finally ready for this, and I'm as always more than glad to address any concerns brought up during this FLC. Thanks, Red Phoenix build the future...remember the past... 03:30, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm going to be "that guy": The Japanese names. For example, Last Battle. The Japanese name begins "Hokuto no Ken". Now, this is Fist of the North Star, and is well known by that name in English, yet because it's not translated, that could be lost on the reader. Similarly but not identically, Phantasy Star IV's Japanese subtitle is Sennenki no Owari ni, which translates as ... the End of the Millennium. But, the Japanese title lacks the "IV", so it would still be a separate title, but should it be the Japanese or be translated? Now, this shouldn't just be fan translations; if no official or obvious translation exists, we should stick with the romaji. But, in the above two cases, we have an official translation (Fist of the North Star) and an obvious translation (the Japanese obviously matches the English subtitle) do we need to supply romaji? --Golbez (talk) 16:43, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I do have a slight hesitation for that just in that the game was never released for the Sega Genesis under that title. I did something similar in List of Sega 32X games, where Sangokushi IV is a Japanese-only title, but it was released in other territories on other systems as Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of Fire. Realistically, I think this may have to be a case-by-case examination, especially with any game series that has different releases in different regions. If you have more specifics, we can look at those cases. Red Phoenix build the future...remember the past... 16:53, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, should we redlink the few unlinked titles in there? I don't see why not. Otherwise it seems odd that a very few of the entries in the list are blacklinked. --Golbez (talk) 16:43, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I actually explicitly went through and removed the redlinks. Not every game will eventually get its own article, I'm sure. Other lists, such as List of Sega CD games, have no such issue with the removal of redlinks. Red Phoenix build the future...remember the past... 16:53, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments - You know, every so often I think that List of Square Enix games is getting pretty long at 350 titles and no end in sight, and think about how I could split it up. After looking through this 1000+ title behemoth, I never will again.
- Altered Beast should be linked in the lead
- "of its games, as well as more difficult entries such as Ecco the Dolphin, and sports games such as Joe Montana Football" - I don't think that comma after Dolphin is necessary
- I actually got this one a while ago, so Done. Red Phoenix let's talk...check out the Sega task force 21:11, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- link Joe Montana Football
- link Super Nintendo Entertainment System
- link Mortal Kombat
- link Electronic Arts
- Redirects: In the lead: List of Master System games->List of Sega Master System games, Sonic the Hedgehog 2->Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit video game), Aladdin (video game)->Disney's Aladdin (video game) , Sonic the Hedgehog (video game)->Sonic the Hedgehog (series)
- Done, but some of these were just goofy. I actually moved List of Sega Master System games to List of Master System games for consistency - it makes no sense to have a Master System article named as such, and a list named the opposite. The second two have been fixed, and the last should actually be Sonic the Hedgehog (1991 video game), so it's been fixed as well. - Red Phoenix build the future...remember the past... 21:02, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Like the last list, there's a bunch of game titles that are redirecting to similar titles rather than just sections of other articles; up to you if you want to fix them.
- I'd like to try and go in, but it will be an extensive project. For now, it should be close enough I would hope, but getting it all unkinked would be nice. Red Phoenix build the future...remember the past... 21:02, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Don't sort titles by renaming them like "Addams Family, The" - sort them by placing them in a sort template: {{sort}}. It looks awful when you do the comma thing, especially with subtitles, and there's still 12 titles that are being sorted by "the".
- Ah, I was not aware of the sort template. Some issues here have been since this list already existed before I touched it, I've been working around how it was to get it set up right... otherwise, at over 900+ titles, this would have been a flat-out suicidal project. I'll see if I can work this out and get it fixed. Red Phoenix build the future...remember the past... 21:02, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Done, but that took a while. I made sure to fix all of them, those with the "the" in front and those without. Red Phoenix let's talk...check out the Sega task force 21:11, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- That will also allow you to get roman numerals in the right order- Double Dragon 1|Double Dragon, Double Dragon 2|Double Dragon II: The Revenge, Double Dragon 3|Double Dragon 3: The Arcade Game, Double Dragon 5|Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls - right now when you sort by name double dragon goes 1-3-2-5, and mortal kombat goes 1-3-2, for example.
- Same as above.
- I think asking for full release date rather than just year would be sadistic, so I won't.
- Thank you. I'm not sure I would ever be able to source everything for full release date, anyway. Red Phoenix build the future...remember the past... 21:02, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Any way you could get ISSNs for the magazine refs?
- That one's a little bit of a tall order; save for Retro Gamer, I don't actually have any of the issues, and for Retro Gamer I've got electronic versions, not paper. I'll see what I can do. Red Phoenix build the future...remember the past... 21:02, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Even if I can't get ISSNs, I was able to scrounge up a little more info about some of them, and added them. It's still tricky to find. Red Phoenix let's talk...check out the Sega task force 21:11, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Why is the publisher an external link on ref 9?
- It shouldn't be. Fixed. Red Phoenix build the future...remember the past... 21:02, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- You link IGN in ref 29 but not 14, and you don't link Kotaku in 11 or 12.
- Linked IGN in 14 and Kotaku in 11, and delinked IGN in 29. The FAC for Sega Genesis indicated an unwillingness to have publishers linked more than once in a ref list. Red Phoenix build the future...remember the past... 21:02, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- As always, consider archiving the online refs that you haven't already so that the vagaries of time/the internet can never take them from you. This month's warning: When the Penny Arcade Report went offline this year, they removed their entire site from the web- anything not archived is now gone forever. --PresN 20:19, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I will be going through and doing this with all of my lists soon. List of Sega 32X games lost its FL status in 2010 when Sega-16 redid their website and some IPs tried to replace the sources with MobyGames... yeah, lovely, all of this while I was retired and not maintaining anything. I'll be intent on making sure that doesn't happen with any of my articles and lists again... though I wonder what would happen if one of the archiving sites ever went down... Red Phoenix build the future...remember the past... 21:02, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks as always for your feedback, PresN. I always appreciate that you're willing to review my out-of-relevance outdated Sega game lists, even at over 900 games. Red Phoenix build the future...remember the past... 21:02, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Support - all of my above concerns are now addressed. --PresN 23:15, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Would it be appropriate to switch "Sonic" (the developer) to "Camelot"? Considering that this is an article about the Genesis, I think the current name could be confusing. Or at least "Sonic!". Tezero (talk) 22:22, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- It wouldn't be appropriate to switch it to Camelot because they didn't publish games under the Camelot name for the Genesis, just like how games published by DMA Design are linked to Rockstar North but not titled that. Adding the exclamation point wouldn't necessarily be wrong or right in my opinion, but the links are correct, and the only developer this could be confused with is Sonic Team, which is always spelled out in the article. Red Phoenix build the future...remember the past... 22:30, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. I'll say support. Tezero (talk) 04:58, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: (having stumbled here from my FLC discussion page). Very well done. Ready to support but not quite yet, a couple minor points: (1) When clicking on the individual letters for the 2nd appearance of the table of contents by alphabet for the smaller subsection, it brings the reader to the larger subsection's alphabet entries, so just suggest only using it for the larger section. (2) Might be nice to have an External links section with a few extra links of additional resources for the reader. That's all for now and I'd be ready to support, keep me posted, — Cirt (talk) 02:50, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Part of the idea of having two here for the larger section is because the table is so big, it helps users to navigate, and with over 900 items having one at each end is beneficial for the users. To eliminate confusion, I've moved the upper contents links into the section itself instead of being just above it. There's not a lot of external links actually necessary as well, I believe; as a list of Genesis games, its use of resources is already very detailed and comprehensive of the subject matter, and I don't believe an external link just for the sake of having external links is necessary in this case. Red Phoenix let's talk...check out the Sega task force 16:36, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am renominating this for featured list because there is no reason why this article should not have been passed as FL.

Thanks, CrowzRSA 03:45, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Quick question I'm not familiar at all with Mack 10, but is "I Want it All" really a cover of the Queen song as you've linked in the Guest appearances section? The Rambling Man (talk) 08:32, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- No it's an original song; I Want It All (Warren G song). It'd sound quite odd converting Queen's music to rap, in my opinion xD. CrowzRSA 17:53, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- So link it correctly. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:46, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

* Comment: I don't think that a "see also" is an appropiate article hatnote, that section is for disambiguations. You should move that link to a "See also" section, and/or link it in the lead if appropiate. You should mention in the opening sentences that Mark 10 is a rapper, it is evident that he is a musician, but the detail of his music genre should be mentioned directly, not in a passing by "...being produced by fellow rapper...". "After signing to Priority Records in 1995, Mack 10 released his self-titled debut album that June": I think it may be better to say "in June". I think that "being produced" is the wrong tense, as you don't mean to talk about an ongoing activity in the past, but something that was already finished when the other things of the sentence were taking place. Use just "produced". In "Rhyme & Reason", you shouldn't include the word "soundtrack" as part of the link. "certified Gold in the US by RIAA for its sales" is a bit redundant: when you say or discuss about an album being certified gold, you are talking about its sales, so just end the sentence in "RIAA". "His fourth studio album, The Paper Route (2000), failed to earn the rapper any RIAA certifications; however, the album debuted at number nineteen on the Billboard 200" seems to be in the wrong order. I think it would be more natural to say the Billboard bit first, and then the lack of RIAA certifications. As "Bang or Ball" is the first album in a new label, you should mention the year. And make sure that the list is consistent with the main article on Mack 10: that article mentions a 2013 album "2000-1-0" and a 1997 collaboration "In tha Beginning...There Was Rap", which are not mentioned here. If they are missing here, add them, if they are incorrect there, remove them. Cambalachero (talk) 22:44, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply] |

Comments
A couple more comments: (I won't oppose over these, but do consider): I think it's more designed for song articles, but per WP:USCHARTS I would discourage using R&B/Hip Hop Airplay and Rap Songs, as they are factors and distillations of the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart. Also, the current sectioning makes it seem as though guest appearances and music videos are not part of the discography (if they aren't, why are they in the article?). Perhaps level 2 sections could be 'Albums', 'Singles', 'Guest appearances' and 'Music videos'. Adabow (talk) 09:43, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This list is the confirmed tornadoes from the first two days of the April 25–28, 2011 tornado outbreak, the largest in history. This outbreak was in fact so large that it started breaking templates on the original "list" page, so the list had to be split in two (the first time that has happened with a tornado outbreak). Anyway, I feel that this is up to standards with the only other FL tornado list (List of tornadoes in the 1999 Oklahoma tornado outbreak), and I think this should be able to reach FL as well.

- Comment. How about something like List of tornadoes in the USA on 25 and 26 April 2011? I do not see why you need to have the longer dates in the title. Dudley Miles (talk) 20:22, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- This is Standard WikiProject proceedure. Plus, British date styles should not be used for U.S.-only events. United States Man (talk) 14:36, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: (having stumbled here from my FLC discussion page). What about renaming it to simply List of tornadoes in the first two days of the April 25–28, 2011 tornado outbreak ? — Cirt (talk) 02:38, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- To me, that seems more awkward that the current title. I think it is a good idea to keep it as short as possible. United States Man (talk) 04:17, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment What about List of tornadoes (outbreak of April 25-26, 2011)?-Godot13 (talk) 00:05, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The problem there is that April 25-26 is not the complete outbreak, so it is kind of misleading. I don't think there are many good alternatives to the current name that User:ChrisTheDude suggested above. United States Man (talk) 20:15, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Additional Comments
- Leads seems a bit short
- In the table Confirmed tornadoes –
- Perhaps add “(April 25-26, 2011)” to the table title
- the total at the end of the line might be better visually if it were on par with the EF numbers (underneath the heading Tornadoes confirmed by rating). Right now it looks as if it should be the total for the entire line, not just the second half.
- The grey N/A cells in the damage column. Is this not applicable or not available (unknown)?
- Is it necessary to sort the coordinates column?
Finally, if you have a chance, I have a FLC too... - Godot13 (talk) 16:52, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- List of tornadoes in the April 25–28, 2011, tornado outbreak (April 25–26), I should think, as the year requires a comma in the MM-DD-YY construction. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:58, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- That has been discussed heavily here, here, here, here, and here. I think that after a consensus could not be reached, people sort of just dropped it. If one page in the Project is changed, then all the other 75+ would need to be changed; and there was never consensus to do that. United States Man (talk) 01:09, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Nominator(s): Toa Nidhiki05 03:39, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am nominating this list for featured article because I've worked on this article from scratch, and I am satisfied that it meets FL standards and think it shows a good representation of the progression of football into a pass-oriented league. This article is a list of the NFL's season-by-season receiving yards leaders - that is, the players who had recorded the most yardage from forward passes. The list also notes which players are current players, which ones are in the Hall of Fame, and which ones received a major league award. Toa Nidhiki05 03:39, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Why is it that the only references in the list refer to the first three years? The rest of the years (1935-2013) aren't referenced, and if they are, its unclear. The whole "Other receiving yards leaders" doesn't appear to have a single citation. I haven't read the article or anything just noticed this and thought I'd bring it up. CrowzRSA 04:55, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Any information that is not directly cited in the article is cited in the general references section. The first three years are cited specifically because the league did not set a number of games for each team to play, so some teams played more games than others. Toa Nidhiki05 14:25, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It wasn't intuitive to me that "Games" was not the number of games played by the players, but the number of games their team played (players miss games due to injuries, coaching decisions, etc). I know its in the key, but I would have expected it to be the games actually played like in FL List of National Basketball Association season scoring leaders (yeah, it's basketball and not football, but its a sport).—Bagumba (talk) 05:50, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]- I understand what you mean here... I'll toy around with putting a note on each player that played less than the number of games in a season. Toa Nidhiki05 22:20, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I would alternatively suggest that the historical number of games in an NFL season can be described in the lead, and leave the list to the player's actual number of games.—Bagumba (talk) 22:34, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Support (having stumbled here from my FLC discussion page). Incredibly meticulously referenced throughout, most impressive. Only a couple minor points: (1) Not sure why the Notes section then says in bold below it Notes and Footnotes; both could be removed with just the main subsection header remaining. (2) General references sect should just be renamed References, per WP:LAYOUT. Otherwise, very very well done! — Cirt (talk) 02:35, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: (having stumbled here from my FLC discussion page). A few recommendations to improve the page: (1) Strongly recommend removing the sect Films with multiple nominations and awards, as it seems unencyclopedic, but also it's redundant to the infobox and elsewhere higher on the page which has similar info. (2) Suggest adding Portal:Belgium to the other portals in the See also section. (3) Might want to wikilink the director and producer in the infobox. (4) Subsections Honorary Magritte Award and Audience Award -- not sure which citations are confirming this info. That's it for now, otherwise nicely done overall. I particularly like the Background sect. Keep me posted, — Cirt (talk) 02:31, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for your comments, Cirt. I'm not sure about removing that section, every FL about award ceremonies has a "Films with multiple nominations and awards" section. I don't think Portal:Belgium is so useful when we have already Portal:Brussels, what do you think? I didn't find so many information about the director and producer to have separate articles. Honorary Magritte Award and Audience Award are sourced by ref 13.--Earthh (talk) 14:03, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Hrm, well I've thought it over, again, and I respectfully stand by my comments above. The section may be in other pages but it doesn't look encyclopedic, and it's unsourced, and it's redundant to multiple places higher up on the same page, including the infobox and other subsections. Please let me know if you care to respond to my comments, above, and I'll consider changing to support. Thank you, — Cirt (talk) 15:11, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I think we should leave that section per convention. Portal:Belgium would be redundant since we have already Portal:Brussels. Director and producer of the show did not even have a profile on IMDb, there's no encyclopedic content about them.--Earthh (talk) 21:03, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I'll defer to your judgment about the portal placement, and director and producer info. Subsections Honorary Magritte Award and Audience Award still appear to be unsourced. Keep me posted if you change your mind about the unsourced and unencyclopedic section Films with multiple nominations and awards and I'll gladly consider switching to support. Thank you, — Cirt (talk) 18:10, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Update: I've given it some more thought and I actually wish to change my position and state that I don't think I should hold back from supporting based on the section Films with multiple nominations and awards. So the only thing left to do would be to make sure the reader can easily understand that subsections Honorary Magritte Award and Audience Award are sourced to that ref, best to make that more clear please, as at the moment it is only apparent that this ref is citing the subsection Awards, and not the others. Thank you, — Cirt (talk) 05:51, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- It is written in the lead.
- By that we mean best films released in Belgium in 2010.
- Académie André Delvaux, - can we avoid repeating this twice in quick succession?
- Where? Currently it is not repeated twice in quick succession.
- Twice in two sentences is not "quick succession" to you? Wow. The Academy, the AAD, w.e. ... — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:57, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, could you be more specific so I can fix it?
- Where? Currently it is not repeated twice in quick succession.
- Overseen by the Académie André Delvaux, the Magritte Awards replace the Joseph Plateau Awards, which were disestablished in 2007. - isn't this redundant to the above paragraph?
- The Joseph Plateau Award info is presented only there.
- In other words, the majority is redundant. This can be reworked to flow more smoothly. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:57, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Could you be more specific?
- The Joseph Plateau Award info is presented only there.
- their works during the 2009–2010 period. - in the led you just say 2010
- The Academy considered films released in the previous calendar year (2010) which, according to their rules, run from September 2009 to September 2010.
- This also needs to be explicit in the article, with reference. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:57, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- "their works during the 2009–2010 period" is not enough for you?
- The Academy considered films released in the previous calendar year (2010) which, according to their rules, run from September 2009 to September 2010.
- (the first film to garner that many nominations), - well, obviously, this is the first award ceremony for these awards. Should probably be removed
- Removed.

- Reworded.

Sax Rohmer was a prodigious writer between his first book in 1910 and his death in 1959. He started his career writing songs and sketches for music hall stars George Robey and Little Tich, and ghost wrote Tich's autobiography. He is probably best remembered for his creation of the villainous Fu Manchu, who appeared in 15 of Rohmer's books, before finding a further life in the cinema. – SchroCat (talk) 22:03, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support – I am familiar with this subject thanks largely to my work on the Tich FA and my FAC intended work on Robey. As such, this is a very accurate account of the information given on them. I have made the couple of small fixes myself as they were really small and more effort would have been needed for me to post them here rather than to just get on with it; I see no further issues whatsoever. Great stuff! CassiantoTalk 10:41, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comments typically good stuff, some minor technical points.
- Blank publisher for "Aboo Tabah", probably worth a note.
- "Other works of Sax Rohmer" shouldn't that really be "Non-fction works..."?
- "by M. Retford." vs "and T. W. Thurban" in Notes. The consistency of the use of full stops is the issue here.
- Sorry, being blind here, but I thought I'd got the full stops in place: where am I missing them? - SchroCat (talk) 11:50, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- "The books of Rohmer" previous captions have used his full name. And this appears to be more specific than "books", "novels and story collections"...
- New York or NY? Unless one means the city, the other the state I suppose...?
- Yep: I've gone for the city in full and the state in the shortened form. - SchroCat (talk) 11:50, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Just a curiousity for me, the book is called The Mystery of Dr. Fu-Manchu but the character is referred to here as Fu Manchu (i.e. without the hyphen). What's the deal?
- Not sure you need Category:Bibliographies by writer as Category:Bibliographies of British writers is more refined.

- Many thanks Cirt: much appreciated! There are a couple of different formats for bibliographies and I've plumped for this, largely because I find the format of "Sax Rohmer bibliography" gramatically lumpy! Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 22:43, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Support - with a few comments
- "was a British song and sketch writer, and author" - that comma just seems awkward, maybe "was a British author and song and sketch writer"
- That's not quite right either, but I agree the previous version was awkward and tweaked to something more appropriate. - SchroCat (talk) 00:06, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Notes shouldn't be sortable in the Non-fiction table
- Yep, done. - SchroCat (talk) 00:06, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Given that the first table's heading is "Songs and musical monologues written by Rohmer", the others should be in the same style (i.e. Plays written by Rohmer, not "The plays of Rohmer")
- Ive standardised to "xxxxx by Rohmer", which should be ok. - SchroCat (talk) 00:10, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

List is in really good shape, but I did notice a few of things.
1 It looks like you used the wrong size dash for the seasons. it looks like the longer M dash (—) was used when an N dash (–) should have been used.
Good work fixing this in the tables. There are a few more instances in the lead.- @Leech44: All fixed! Gloss • talk 16:17, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
2 The sorting is not working properly on the playoff columns. The large amount of dashes int his column throw things off. Either {{sort|-0001|—}} or {{sort dash}} should be used which will fix the sorting issue.
3 Save Percentage note should be referenced. Other Player lists have a reference for this so it should be easy to find and copy over.
4 When using a color cell there should also be a corresponding symbol. (see List of Detroit Red Wings players for an example.)
5 While I couldn't find a specific requirement. It might be a good ideal to change the notes to alpha characters to further distinguish them from the references.
6 Eliminate the empty cell in the goaltenders abbreviation table by using a straight vertical listing. (Like the a fore mentioned Wings list or List of Vancouver Canucks players)

Awesome job with the list. The main thing to fix is the indications of Stanley Cup winners. Other than that, great work, and let's hope the Islanders get back into their 80's groove! :) P.S.

I have already a candidate running at the FLC which has two supports, so this one shouldn't have problems. This list is based upon List of South Africa women Twenty20 International cricketers and I think this meets the FL standards. Comments/suggestions are appreciated, as always!

- Nice work on this list. A couple of comments, not sure if these are important:
- "Pakistan have played 37 Twenty20 Internationals under four different captains" - should this read "Pakistan have played thirty-seven..."?
- The pictures above the table - should they be aligned so they are down the side of the table? I seem to recall a cricket-list that did this, but I can't for the life of me remember which one it was!

Regretful oppose needs updating.
- Image caption could use some work so it's written in nice prose, e.g. "The Pakistan women's team at Sydney, in the 2009 ICC Women's World Twenty20"
- Done. —Zia Khan 02:20, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Maybe consider including the result of the first T20I the Pakistan women played in?
- Done. —Zia Khan 02:20, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Source [4] indicates that they have played 43 games, not 37 per the lead. It also means that you should update the statistics in the rest of the lead and in the table.
- Updated. —Zia Khan 02:20, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Not sure where the "under four different captains" is sourced. In fact, this seems to imply just three.
- Fixed. —Zia Khan 02:20, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- "which competed in" -> "to compete in".
- Done. —Zia Khan 02:20, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- "to score a fifty in the format for Pakistan" which format, WC?
- clarified. —Zia Khan 13:23, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Are you sure that Bismah Maroof's batting average is the highest?
- Yes. —Zia Khan 13:23, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Technically not so. At least three have better averages than Maroof. It's better to add a note here —Vensatry (Ping) 18:25, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes. —Zia Khan 13:23, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Need to mention the team Sarah Taylor is playing for
- Done. —Zia Khan 13:23, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- "She also has taken eight catches as a fielder" you mean Taylor? The ref. doesn't support the claim here as well
- removed the sentence. —Zia Khan 13:23, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- "Since the team was formed, 28 women have represented Pakistan in T20I cricket" a little confusing
- What is confusing here?. —Zia Khan 13:23, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I've not checked the table and sources. I see the usage of "Having ..." three times in four successive sentences. The prose needs a little amount of work before it gets promoted.

This list, which covers some of the most beautiful and unsullied areas in Colorado, closely follows the format I used in the Michigan and Alaska lists, both now FLs. I look forward to your comments! Dana boomer (talk) 19:12, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment -- this list is looking good, but after reading the Michigan list, I would like to see a little more information on some of the more notable landmarks in Colorado. Is there any content you can add? I'm not suggesting you expand the lead that significantly, only to add a sentence or two about some of the sites' significance (culturally, militarily etc.). Thanks, Ruby 2010/2013 00:59, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, the corresponding list is actually List of National Natural Landmarks in Michigan, not the National Historic Landmarks list you linked above. The NHL list is summarizing almost 40 sites, while this NNL list is summarizing 14, in a different program. I'll look at the Colorado list tomorrow, and see if there are any little bits and pieces I can add in, but wanted to make sure you were comparing to the right list :) Dana boomer (talk) 01:44, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, you are correct. That's what happens when you're reading late at night, I suppose! :) Sorry about that. Now looking at the correct Michigan list, could you specify in the lead the first two designations you are referring to (and the latest one)? Ruby 2010/2013 00:22, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Fair enough, now added. Dana boomer (talk) 18:32, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
- "13 fully within Colorado and one shared" MOSNUM says use either numbers or words to describe similar things, so "Thirteen" or "1".
- Fixed. Dana boomer (talk) 21:39, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- " two Natural Landmarks, while two Landmarks" various varying description of the landmarks, you abbreviated them to NNLs in the lead, why not just use that each time?
- I did a bit of tweaking to this, but I don't think it made it much better. Do you have any better wording to get rid of the two landmarks...two landmarks... repetitiveness? Dana boomer (talk) 21:39, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Over doing the accuracy of the conversion, we don't need square miles to the nearest 0.001.
- Rounded to the nearest 1/10. Dana boomer (talk) 21:39, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- "Owners include private individuals and several municipal, state and federal agencies" vs "Both public and privately owned properties can be designated as NNLs." isn't this effectively saying the same thing twice?
- No, not the same thing. The second says that both public and private properties can be designated as NNLs, the first says that NNLs owned by the various groups listed have been designated as NNLs in Colorado. For example, Colorado has NNLs owned by municipalities, while Alaska doesn't. In Michigan, a public university owns at least one NNL. I think there's at least one state where there are no NNLs on private land. So, the first is what is done in that state, the second is what could be done in nation-wide. Dana boomer (talk) 21:39, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- "may object to" why would they do this with all the benefits thereafter described?
- They don't want the guv'mint on their land? Honestly, I'm not really sure, but I would guess it would boil down to the distrust/dislike that some people in very rural areas (which are where the vast majority of the NNLs are) have for the federal government. Dana boomer (talk) 21:39, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- "Top North American" do you mean the best when you say "top"?
- Yes, changed. Dana boomer (talk) 21:39, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- "5.000 sq mi" see above.
- Rounded to the nearest 1/10; also fixed another one that was to the nearest 1/1000. Dana boomer (talk) 21:39, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- General ref and specific ref 1 appear to be the same.
- They are. The general ref covers everything in the table that isn't specifically referenced to other sources, while the first specific ref covers the information in the lead that precedes it. Dana boomer (talk) 21:39, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- "A major example of" any need for "major"? Is it backed up by reliable sources?
- The source calls it an "excellent illustration". Any suggestions for rewording? Dana boomer (talk) 21:39, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- National Park Service is linked in ref 1, not in the general ref which comes before it.
- Now linked in both places. Dana boomer (talk) 21:39, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- "species- and plant-..." are plants species?
- Ugh. Now changed to animal- and plant-. Dana boomer (talk) 21:39, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Support with a comment- you're mixing date types in your references; pick one (yyyy-mm-dd or Month dd, yyyy). You also have a few redirecting links in the descriptions that don't seem intentional, if you care to fix those. --PresN 22:51, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the support. The dates are standardized, as far as I can tell - publication dates are month day year, access dates are yyy-mm-dd. This is a completely legit way of styling references, and is the style I generally use in everything I write. Not sure which redirect links you're speaking of, or why they're a problem? Dana boomer (talk) 17:07, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Huh, looked it up, and it turns out that's true- pub dates have to be consistent, and access dates have to be consistent, but they don't have to be the consistent with each other. Never knew that; always thought it had to be one format for all dates in the references. Still looks silly to me, but to each their own. As to the redirects, it's just minor issues that don't matter much- quarries, wetlands, igneous, and I meant unconfined aquifer, honey ant, and hanging garden as well (also: Indian Springs Trace Fossil), but on second look they seem more or less intentional. --PresN 07:32, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Support. Perfectly happy with 99.9% of the list; my only minor quibble is that the image used in the lead, of Hanging Lake, makes the lake look quite... dinky. The image used in the table seems much more impressive, and I'm wondering if it might be better to swap those two around, because at present the initial impression is that you're leading in with an ol' swimming hole. (The fact that this is such a petty gripe should indicate there's plenty right with the rest of it. :P). GRAPPLE X 01:02, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A bit out of my normal area of editing, this one. Was a tidy little list to start with, but I updated it for 2014, made the tables accessible and fixed the sorting. I removed a list of criteria and wrote it into the prose for the lead, although I'm still a little concerned about the flow of that bit. As always, let me know your thoughts and suggestions.

- The Beirut Marathon is listed as a 20 km race. This is either a typo, or unusual enough to need a separate source. Courcelles 18:27, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- You're right it shouldn't have been 20 km, not sure why that was like that. Harrias talk 18:35, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Looks like there's some double rounding in the list of distances: in metric a marathon is a fraction under 42,195m. Since a marathon is defined as 26 miles 385 yards, it may be better to state this directly instead of using a decimalised figure.
- Is data available giving the year in which each event first attained label status? Are there any former label events? Is the performance of athletes tracked across these events, and do we know who has won the most?
- Could do with a couple of images from races in the list to meet 5b more fully. Oldelpaso (talk) 17:53, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
- Image caption doesn't need a full stop.
- "as being one of the" not sure about "one of" here. There are multiple races...
- "other. Within the "other" " should the first other be "other"?
- "three years in a row " three consecutive years would be a bit tighter.
- "for another three years" a "further" three years I thiknk.
- I would force sorting distance so it's in actual distance order rather than alphanumerical order, i.e. 10 miles should sort after 10 and 12 km.
- Any reason why some locations are in English (Prague) and others not (Venezia)?

- Comment: (having stumbled here from my FLC discussion page). A few recommendations to improve the page: (1) Redlinks are totally okay for Featured Quality content pages, however, in the Key section might be helpful for the reader for 10 miles (road running) and 12 kilometres (road running) to exist at least as Wikipedia stub articles with a couple sources each. (2) Last paragraph of the lede is a little skimpy as a two-sentence-long-paragraph, might be nice to see it either merged, or expanded. (3) I'm not seeing where the References are cited for the Races subsection. (4) Please consider using {{Portal bar}} to add some portals either to the bottom of the article, or just add a few to the See also section. (5) I made a minor formatting change to the References section, per WP:LAYOUT. That's it for now, keep me posted, — Cirt (talk) 02:21, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A few minor suggestions: (1) Perhaps you could add sisterlinks in the External links sect. (2) Sects Early championships and Divizia A - might be best to break up some of those big paragraphs in those sects. (3) History - just a comment that I love that even though this is technically a list page, there is a healthy amount of sourced material in paragraph format, great job with the research!

I am nominating this list because it gives an exhaustive listing of former plantations once operational in the present-day U.S. state of West Virginia, and provides a comprehensive introduction. The list also features images of the majority of the plantations accounted for. I am also nominating this list because I feel it meets most FL criteria and can easily be improved to meet the criteria not already achieved. -- Caponer (talk) 19:09, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- This list has also been approved for Did you know. The DYK review is available here. -- Caponer (talk) 19:25, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Quick Comments - I didn't read the text yet, just skimmed for obvious problems
- Lists shouldn't start with "this is a list of" any more than articles start with "this article is about"
- Modified to conform with this suggestion. -- Caponer (talk) 03:41, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- You can't use just color to differentiate things in a table- use dagger symbols or the like as well
- Would it actually make more sense to remove the NRHP reference number column altogether, and just include the symbols in the name column? -- Caponer (talk) 03:51, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- If you think the number is useful to have in the table, then just do symbols - like "03000346†" for NHL, and "03000346‡" for NRHP. If you don't think the numbers are useful, just stick the symbols after the name and drop the column entirely. Your call. --PresN 04:14, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Another quality, interesting article from Caponer, I see. :) One (easily remedied) concern I noticed is your long sentences, which could be split or at least injected with a semicolon to ease readability. I've included a few of these below, along with a few other minor issues:
- Plantations initially developed in the counties lying within the Northern Neck Proprietary of Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron within the Shenandoah Valley and South Branch Potomac River valleys, carrying over the practice of slavery from the plantations of the Piedmont and Tidewater regions of Virginia, where plantations had become the foundation of society and industry -- can this be split at all? It's a bit long and consequently confusing.
- I've split the sentence to read as follows: "Plantations initially developed in the counties lying within the Northern Neck Proprietary of Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron within the Shenandoah Valley and South Branch Potomac River valleys. These plantations carried over the practice of slavery from the plantations of the Piedmont and Tidewater regions of Virginia, where plantations had become the foundation of society and industry." Thanks for the catch! -- Caponer (talk) 20:58, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The Washington family sentence is also long; it could do with another comma at least.
- I've split this sentence up as well, thus moving the listing of plantations to its own sentence. -- Caponer (talk) 20:58, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- You mention the American Civil War in the paragraph after the discussion of secession and statehood. This seems odd, especially for readers unfamiliar with the war or its dates. I recommend making this a bit more chronological.
- The article is written in chronological order, but the link to ACW should definitely be moved up in the text, so I've moved the full link to the section discussing the Reorganized Government of Virginia. Good catch! -- Caponer (talk) 21:02, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- You end the lead a bit abruptly with the ending of slavery. Could you add some more information on what became of some of the houses? Something like, "Since then, many of the plantation houses have acquired places on the National Register of Historic Places, an official list that includes sites, buildings, and structures deemed worthy of preservation..."? Also, who owns these houses? (are they largely privately owned still, or does the government have ownership now)? I realize some of this information might be difficult to find. Thanks, Ruby 2010/2013 15:13, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Ruby, thank you for suggestion an extension to the lead as it was quite abrupt. I've added a modified version of your suggested sentence, and have also added a sentence about many of the houses serving as private residences. I'm not sure what citation would go here, as this information is gleaned from the NRHP registration forms and the sources listed at the bottom of the page in the bibliography. Few, if any, are owned by a government entity, with the exception of the mansion at Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park, which was rebuilt by the state of West Virginia. Ruby, as always, thank you so entirely much for taking the time to review this list and to provide your incredibly valued guidance! It's always a pleasure working with you on Wikipedia! -- Caponer (talk) 21:14, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the speedy reply. Your changes look great, though I did make one small one and move the NRHP content to the end of the lead -- this just seems to fit better there (especially as you bring it all the way up to 2014). Also, it looked weird in the opening paragraph due to the lack of a transitioning sentence. I am happy to now support this list for promotion. Thanks, Ruby 2010/2013 00:46, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Ruby2010, thank you for your thoughtful suggestions and support! Should you have any additional suggestions in the meantime, please let me know and I'll incorporate them into the article ASAP. -- Caponer (talk) 01:00, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Ruby2010, thanks again! Did I address all your above concerns properly? -- Caponer (talk) 00:12, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel that it is a complete list of North American currencies; I am attempting to create a similar page for every continent, I have done List of currencies in Europe previously. Matty.007 08:34, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Is it a list of currencies or a list of countries? It seems like you put countries first, and then currencies second. Would it not be better the other way since this is the focus of the page, and it would remove duplications. The way you have it, it appears like there are a lot more currencies than there actually are, "East Caribbean dollar" is repeated 6 times. Mattximus (talk) 00:16, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I based it on the original List of circulating currencies, and have done two (this and Europe), and am working on another, South America, in this format, which I think is both useful this way around, as it can be sorted by either country or currency, and it is the same as the original (List of circulating currencies), which I was using as precedent. Matty.007 13:23, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Doesn't that seem backwards to you? Shouldn't it be a list of currencies, and under each you could list which countries they circulate? The title of the article is list of currencies after all. Mattximus (talk) 01:06, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Due to a lack of a proper map. I also still believe that as a list of currencies, the list should be of currencies, not countries (with column for currencies) as this creates duplication making the reader think that there are more currencies in North America then there actually are. There are 17 currencies but this list is 23 rows. Mattximus (talk) 15:24, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree that the current image is not very illustrative of the N.A. topic. I'd like to raise the issue I mentioned on the Europe list again: Why do we need a list for every continent? I think this is quite redundant, and if you think the name of the central bank is important, it can be added to the main list. Reywas92Talk 05:04, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- We have lists of many things per continent, but currency, a major part of life, only has one list. I will have a look for a picture. The country bank didn't seem to be an issue in the Europe review, hence it reaminsThanks, Matty.007 09:11, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- My thoughts:
- The map, as has been said, is not suitable for this. It needs to focus on North America.
- The bank website is entirely unnecessary; that can be linked from the currency page.
- This lacks territories, which sometimes use different currencies than their possessing nations. Not always the case, but sometimes; for example, Bermuda uses the Bermudian dollar, and is not mentioned at all in this article. The intro notes sovereign states, but there's no reason nor expectation to confine it solely to those. The Bermudian dollar (e.g.) is a currency in use in North America and should not be excluded.
- "Current" in the header "Current North American currencies" is unnecessary, both because one assumes a list is current unless otherwise stated, and because the list also includes previous currencies.
- Special mention needs to be made in the prose about the multi-currency nations (Panama being the only true one here, though Cuba is also an unusual situation).
- I would propose that instead of the bank column, perhaps move the information on pegging to there.
- The intro is half devoted to the East Caribbean dollar, and half devoted to the U.S. dollar. Yet there are over a dozen other currencies used by roughly two hundred million people; either these two dollars are over-represented or the rest of the currencies are under-represented.
- Why is there a reference in the Country column for St. Vincent?
- Not entirely sure we need the 'previous currency' column but I'll wait to pass judgment on that one.
- Things seem a little over-referenced; in every row, the currency sign and fractional unit have the same source. If it's the same as the source that states the name of the currency, I don't think it's necessary; the reader can assume that the row is sourced to the source of the main info point (the currency) in the row.
- While I see the argument for listing currency first, I'm open to either way. It's a list of currencies in use, and currencies are only used by countries, and (generally) each country has its own currency. That said, I wouldn't mind seeing a draft of a version based on the currency rather than the country.
- Based on these major issues I am forced to oppose at this point. --Golbez (talk) 16:43, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I think that given the amount of issues raised, I will need some time to work on them so would like to withdraw this while I work on the issues. Thanks, Matty.007 17:07, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for all of the changes you've made! Just one thing catches my eye. At the end of the first paragraph, you mention that R2 takes place after the first series, then you launch into a plot summary. As I have not watched this show, can you make it more clear as to whether the short plot summary refers to the first series or the R2 series?

- Seems to be missing some commas in the summary of the episodes. Some more optional than others: "A year after the Black Rebellion, a brainwashed Lelouch Lamperouge and his younger brother Rolo are gambling at Babel Tower when The Black Knights<comma?> led by C.C.<comma?> launches an attack on the complex to retrieve Lelouch." and ". The Black Knights are overwhelmed by the Knightmare Frame Vincent<comma> but are able to collapse Babel Tower in time to retreat to the Chinese Federation Consulate forcing the Britannian army to retreat." Some wording issues: "Lelouch collapses the grounding and forces the Britannian military to fall into Chinese territory where they are politically restrained from attacking." Needs to be clarified for non-viewers as to what is happening. Some sentences are a bit awkward: "However, he takes a bullet meant for Rolo and plays on his insecurities about his future and sibling relationship, convincing him to join his cause." Overall, its these little prose issues that need the most work, but this is indeed a strong candidate. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:55, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Replaced grounding sentence with "Lelouch collapses the flooring, causing the Britannian military to fall into Chinese territory where they are politically restrained from attacking."

- Support (having stumbled here from my FLC discussion page). Very nicely done overall by DragonZero. A minor point: I'd suggest changing subsection header from "Other English releases" to "Additional English releases". DragonZero, I wonder if you'd be interested in improving List of Cowboy Bebop episodes to a similar level of quality? — Cirt (talk) 22:36, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks. I'm going to keep other though, since additional seems as if it is an add on to the North American release. I don't think I will take it up Cowboy Bebop as of current. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 09:47, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Okay, no worries, — Cirt (talk) 11:37, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets the criteria. The list contains table-sorting facilities and is very easy to navigate, contains images and is a stable article. Earthh (talk) 21:32, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Support (having stumbled here from my FLC discussion page). This list page is near ideal. It is meticulously sourced throughout and most informative. I've only got one minor quibble: the Notes sect should be renamed to Footnotes, as Notes refers to citations and Footnotes to endnotes with comments about the article main body text. Great job overall by Earthh, — Cirt (talk) 18:14, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
- Some table of contents links (eg "X") are unnecessary
- Images are all OK
- Single and promo single releases should be sourced
- Could items which were released on exclusive editions of albums (eg "Anarchy in Tokyo" was only on the Japanese edition of 30STM) be referenced with a web source? The standard album's notes (which is the current ref) will not verify this inclusion.
- kaos2000.net is down for me (could just be temporary). What makes this a reliable source?
- The Houstonian is a university student newspaper; what makes reliable? If so, link to its Wikipedia article.
- What makes Shoutweb.com reliable?

List about Megadeth's awards. All I managed to found since the band hasn't received much accolades through out their career. I believe I've re-arranged the sections correctly and re-builded the prose.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 10:45, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Serial comma. It looks like you use one here: "one box set, and numerous singles", but not here: "alongside Anthrax, Metallica and Slayer". Per WP:SERIAL, make it consistent. GabeMc (talk|contribs) 00:36, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Addressed that issue. Thanks for the comment.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 14:44, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: (having stumbled here from my FLC discussion page). A nice page, but I've got a few comments of things that could improve it further: (1) Remove "Grammy Award-nominated" from first sentence in lede, not sure that's encyclopedic or NPOV. (2) 3rd paragraph in lede is a two-sentence-long-paragraph, suggest merging it or expanding it. (3) Other recognitions - this sect seems oddly located and strangely named, perhaps rename it to simply Reception and change it to prose format and expand it to a couple paragraphs in length. (4) Move cites in table to new column for Notes and place them there, for uniformity with other list pages. (5) You might think about adding at least a couple free-use images. — Cirt (talk) 18:10, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for the comment. I copied that "Grammy-nominated band" from Metallica awards, while that paragraph about "Other recognitions" was inspired by List of awards and nominations received by Fiona Apple.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 21:45, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Alright, I looked it over again and still stand by my above comments. Keep me posted if you wish to address them, — Cirt (talk) 11:38, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm sorry, but placing the notes is separate column is unfeasible because Template:Awards table doesn't feature such an option. Anyway, I wanted to ask is it better to merge the third paragraph with the first or second? And are the images available on Wiki Commons suitable for here or should I update a new one?--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 13:54, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Okay, no worries about the refs column. I'd say merge the 3rd para with the 2nd, but I'll leave that editorial judgment up to you. I'll defer to your judgment about which images from Wikimedia Commons you wish to use that are relevant, but then they would need an image review after being added to the page.

Resolved comments from Cambalachero (talk) 15:58, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply] |

Comment: The numbers of the table do not seem right in comparison with the tables below. Have in mind that usually we only count as "nominations" the unsuccessful ones; when Megadeth wins an award it goes to "wins", not to both "wins" and "nominations". In Genesis Awards you said "Megadeth has" and in the following one you said "Megadeth have"; decide if the name of a band counts as a "he" or a "they", and use an uniform style. To say that Megadeth "have yet to win" seems to imply that they should do so, which is an opinion; just say that they have not won so far. You should also reference that they are one of the most nominated artists without a Grammy win, as that isn't something self-evident from the tables in this list (as it involves other artists and their own Grammy performances). The loudwire entry should have the song between " ", as in the other tables. You should also link Megadeth and Dave Mustaine at the last tables, overlinking does not count in table entries (specially when they are different tables). And does Guitar World have a tie between Mustaine and Friedman at the 19º, or do they have a joint entry as a guitar duo at their table? Cambalachero (talk) 17:46, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply] |
- Of course not. The awards won also fall under nominations. Take a look at Metallica awards or Thirty Seconds to Mars. Mustaine and Friedman ara ranked as a guitar duo, or share the nomination. The other notes are proper and I will address them as soon as I can.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 18:50, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- @Cambalachero: user L1A1 FAL addressed some of your concerns, while the rest of them are explained above. Anything else that needs to be done?--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 22:31, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- There's still the use of "has"/"have", and the last sentence of the grammy is still unreferenced Cambalachero (talk) 17:28, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Corrected the first note. I couldn't find a source that says Megadeth were one of the bands with many nominations who hasn't won, so I omitted that sentence.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 14:42, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I trust it conforms to FL criteria. The list passed an A-class review of the WP Military History Project, it has been copyedited since by a GOCE volunteer and received other improvements. Tomobe03 (talk) 12:46, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Support (having stumbled here from my FLC discussion page). I see great improvements from the A-class review by WP:MILHIST. Minor quibbles: (1) The Footnotes sect should be just called Notes; as Footnotes are for comments at the end of the article, and Notes is for citations. (2) I actually like the breakdown by type of sources in the References sect, but in academia these would all be arranged purely alphabetically, totally fine either way, I'll leave that up to Tomobe03. (3) Image review: Three images used in article, all appropriately licensed at Wikimedia Commons, no issues there. Great job overall, — Cirt (talk) 13:00, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you very much for having a look at the candidate. I have now retitled the section heading.--Tomobe03 (talk) 11:51, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments This is looking good and my points are fairly minor.
- "an open revolt of the Croatian Serbs in August 1990. It further developed with the increasing involvement of the Yugoslav People's Army in the conflict". I think some clarification would be helpful. Presumably the Serbs revolted against the Croatian regional government and the YPA intervened on the Serbs' side?
- Indeed. Clarification added.
- "following the electoral defeat of the government of the Socialist Republic of Croatia". Similarly to above, revising something like "defeat of the socialists by Croat nationalists in the election of a Croatian government" (or whatever is correct) would make clear why the defeat provoked a Serb revolt.
- Since the issue is secondary (in my opinion) to the article subject, I have added this clarification to article body only but left the lead as-is. Would you agree with this or do you think the info warrants inclusion in the opening paragraph?
- I would link Zagreb.
- Linked.
- "special forces unit of the Ministry of the Interior that exited before the 1990s" I would add Croatian before Ministry and what did they exit from?
- Added "Croatian" as suggested. "Exited" is a typo - fixed now, should be "existed".
- Vinkovci. "20 troops killed" would be better than "20 killed troops". Dudley Miles (talk) 18:28, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Amended as suggested. Thank you very much for taking a look at the article. Cheers--Tomobe03 (talk) 13:40, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Support. A good list.
- One further suggestion. "following the electoral defeat of the socialist government of the Socialist Republic of Croatia by the Croatian Democratic Union representing a nationalist programme" looks rather clumsy. How about something like "following the electoral defeat of the socialist government by the nationalist Croatian Democratic Union". The link to the Socialist Republic of Croatia could then replace the one to the Government of Croatia in the lead, where it would be more accurate referring to 1990. Dudley Miles (talk) 18:18, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Trimmed one "socialist" reference through a piped link. Thanks for the tip.--Tomobe03 (talk) 01:33, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Support I reviewed this article at Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Croatian special police order of battle in 1991–95 and gave it my support. All of my concerns were addressed there. 23 editor (talk) 15:45, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this to become a featured list. I have worked over the past few weeks to clean up some loose ends on an already good list (made so significantly by myself and Takuy) to make it ready for nomination. Thank you in advance. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 04:22, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Darkwarriorblake - Prose.
- Lead.
I'm grouping these two FLCriteria together as they are the same thing. I think there are some issues with the lead and the prose therein. For instance "Forever Evil" is thrown in there assuming that everyone will know what it is. "The 2013 storyline "Forever Evil"" or some other simple alternative would help. Also I am not sure what " August 2013 was the last month that the titles were solicited by the following groups" means, it may need rewriting, as could "However, the December 2013 solicits grouped titles together resembling the previous families, for all titles that were not involved in "Forever Evil".[3]". Don't be afraid to go wordier, or use the lead of The New 52 article as inspiration, either in the lead or the opening of the "The New 52 titles" section just to clarify what it is people are about to read about.}- I have reworked the lead. First off, I moved and rewrote the info regarding the families and Forever Evil to underneath the "The New 52 titles" heading, so please take a look at that. I also added a new last sentence to the lead. I'm not sure about it, but would like opinions. I know you said to go wordier in the lead, but didn't think it had to be too wordy. I looked at The New 52's lead,
but did not see much that could be brought here to talk about the titles. Opinions on what to possibly add there, if anything, would be appreciated.and was able to add some parts from that to this page. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 03:12, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- There is an error with Ref 13
- Done. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 03:12, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The referencing seems mostly in order, I may be wrong but if the article author isn't named, i.e. "Staff", then just leave the first and last fields in the ref template empty.
- Is this in regards to all the solicits from Newsarama? They all do say "Newsarama Staff" under the "by:" area of the page. If this is not appropriate, I will remove them, so it will just give the title, publisher, date and accesses date, when viewed on the page. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 03:12, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

well designed except for maybe Batman. I will wait for other editors to weigh in, but it seems to me at least difficult to read the Black on that particular shade of Blue, more precisely it starts to hurt my eyes looking at it too long, particularly the title on the outer blue.- I do not personally have this issue, but I was concerned with the colors. If it is an issue, and someone can suggest another blue color code to use, I will make the change. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 03:12, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Darkwarriorblake (talk) 20:43, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The code is for the sake of bots, not people. I'm just going off this (fifth indent down) - "If the cited source does not credit an author, as is common with newswire reports, press releases or company websites use:
|author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.-->
This HTML comment alerts both fact-checking and citation-fixing editors and bots that the cited source specifically did not name an author and therefore an author credit wasn't accidentally omitted from the citation. Without this entry editors and bots would waste time researching cited sources in an attempt to improve existing citations only to find that there is no author to credit." Though personally I would only be using it to replace the Newsarama Staff stuff. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 21:03, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comments by ChrisTheDude
- Two initial points based on a quick drive-by:
- "The following is a list of..." - list articles should not start like this. We wouldn't expect to see a non-list article starting "The following is an article about.....". Check some recently promoted FLs for examples of good openings.
- Would this apply to just the lead, or to each sub-section as well? I count three instances where this occurs in the article, it's easy enough to rephrase though. || Tako (bother me) || 22:19, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- IMO the tables within tables using small fonts and background colours look horrible and are almost certainly a massive WP:ACCESS failure. Do the colours actually serve any purpose other than making the article "prettier".....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:23, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I think the table colors are essential at this point, they very much help to differentiate between the family tables; I can look into color contrasting, if that would help. The collapsible tables-in-tables was something that was a discussion on, which lead to a compromise and consensus on. Do you have any suggestions on how to style it better? || Tako (bother me) || 22:19, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think that the colours are needed, many existing FLs have six or seven different tables and they aren't colour coded. IMO the colours just make the article look garish. Why not just have, for example, "Justice League" as a regular level 3 heading and then start a normal table below that? As for the access issues, you also need rows and scopes in the tables. Ignore my comment about small font size, I thought that was an access issue but I was wrong..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:16, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Hey Chris. I thought that I added rows and scopes in this edit here. Did I not do enough or it incorrectly? - Favre1fan93 (talk) 21:43, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The "shell" tables don't have rows and scopes. Maybe they don't need them, I'm not sure. I still don't think those tables are even needed, personally...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:14, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I have not worked much with rows and scopes, so if they did need them, I do not know where they would go. Also, I do think it is useful to have, say, the current, discontinued (and possibly upcoming) Justice League tables all under one collapsable table. That is instead of having the two (or three) still visible if collapsed. But if this presents and ACCESS issue, they can be removed. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 22:08, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- The article is well organized, referenced and presented. The only thing I would add is better explanation of the "Waves": some over arching description of the durations and some background information would be nice. Also there are a few uses of industry jargon (i.e. solicits vs. solicitations). Overall good job by all.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 15:53, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks Triiiple. I believe I've addressed your issue with the "Wave" explanation, if you'd like to take a look. And I wasn't clear if you meant that only "solicits" was jargon (or both), so I padded the wording a bit to hopefully make it clear (and made all uses consistent). - Favre1fan93 (talk) 19:40, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment by Favre1fan93 (nominator)
Hello. Just wanted further opinions on a commenter's suggestion. ChrisTheDude has likened and suggested that some of the color from the tables be removed, to this. I am just requesting the other commenter's and nominator's opinions, to see their thoughts. If need be, we can take it to the article's talk page for more. The reason I am doing it for this requested change, is it a bit "bigger" than some of the requests by Darkwarriorblake and TriiipleThreat. I personally will support either choice made. Thanks. @TriiipleThreat:@Darkwarriorblake:@Takuy: - Favre1fan93 (talk) 15:20, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- So what is the difference? Is it the white box inside the coloured box? I think that works well, it makes the tables seem less cramped and helps separate the "current", "upcoming", and "discontinued" sections in each one. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 22:55, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes. I removed the color that existed from below the section heading and description that filled the area where the "Current", "Upcoming", and "Discontinued" sections exist. So the Justice League, for example, got less "yellow-y". - Favre1fan93 (talk) 23:02, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Support - I think it looks OK now -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:40, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It appears the other editors are fine with this change, and I will be changing over the page to reflect that. Thanks once again for your comments.

Support (having stumbled here from my FLC discussion page). Great quality page, but still a few small recommendations: (1) Extremely small paragraphs in the lede, these should be merged to just one paragraph. (2) Per WP:LEAD, lede intro sect should be able to function as a standalone summary of the entire page's contents. Perhaps the lede intro sect could be expanded upon a bit more. (3) Nice responses, above, by Favre1fan93 and Takuy to suggestions by Darkwarriorblake, TriiipleThreat, and ChrisTheDude, I see the page has undergone significant improvement since the nomination at DIFF. (4) Could use some actual hyperlinks in the External links sect, at present the sect is almost empty. (5) Other than that, nice work, I'm just surprised at the sheer amount of new user and IP participation in the article's edit history, not sure what's bringing them all here. Good luck, — Cirt (talk) 12:55, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- 1) Done. (may change after working on #2)
- 2)
Will work on expanding some more.Done. Added one sentence about the anniversary events. Not much else to really add that would help summarize the article. - 3) Thanks.
- 4) What do you suggest can go here? It is kind of hard, as there is no "home page" for these titles. All DC titles can be viewed here: [24], so would that be acceptable? That covers all items on the page. Done
- 5) Yes. A lot of IPs come to the page. I'm not sure why either. At a time, they were mostly updating the Collected editions, but that has seemed to wan once we added citations for all the content. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:44, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Sure, that's a good idea for an external link. Thanks for being so responsive to my suggestions, — Cirt (talk) 18:06, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from RexxS
- I still make no claim to be an expert, but I have some experience working with disabled visitors. Nevertheless the internal tables generally will be navigable by screen-readers; the row and column scopes are sensible and helpful. Personally, I see no point at all in enclosing tables in an outer table. The level 3 heading itself should be sufficient to demark each set, and the days of using tables just to provide layout went out 10 years ago. I should say that using collapsed/hidden tables can pose accessibility issues - for instance for users who have difficulty in fine motor control of a mouse. I'd only use them in article space if I had a very pressing need to hide content - that I don't see here.
- Done. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 03:16, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The biggest problem in my humble opinion is the colours. Using too many unharmonised colours leads us to what an erstwhile colleague of mine called "Skittlepedia". The actual use of colours tends to be tolerated as a personal taste, but I don't favour them because I think it makes the page look amateurish and because it leads the editor to think that they can use any combination of colours without realising the effect on the readability of the page. There are a set of guidelines produced by WCAG that help us ensure that as many people as possible can read a webpage. There are standards for brightness and colour difference as well as contrast ratio between text colour and its background. You can check whether the colours used meet these standards by using Snook's Colour Contrast Check. I checked the background colour used in "The Dark" (#747170) against black text and it fails the test for colour, brightness and contrast - although it would just about be acceptable at 18pt size - which it's not. I should add that the smaller the text, the harder it is for readers to cope with poor contrast between text and background. There's really no need for
<small>...</small>
text that I can see and it only makes it harder for some readers. I'd recommend that at the very least, the background colours should be checked and brought up to compliance with WCAG - I'm not prepared to fight about the text size and the presence of colours, although I think that normalising them would improve accessibility. --RexxS (talk) 16:50, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]- Text size Done. All colors were checked too and all passed. You had tested the wrong color for "The Dark" as that was the border color. The background color was #969392, but that was adjusted slightly to get passing on all. Done. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 03:16, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for your hard work here. I do have to correct you on one point though: the version of the list I looked at clearly had #747170 as the background colour for the level 3 heading "The Dark" (which is 17pt). That was far too dark, but you fixed that when you removed the outer tables anyway. I'm glad you've been able to check the other colours now and tweaked those that were borderline. Well done! --RexxS (talk) 01:08, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Article needs to comply with WP:DASH e.g. year ranges need an en-dash, not a hyphen.
- Fixed.
- Per WP:YEAR you don't need to repeat the century if it's the same within a range.
- Fixed.
- Image caption is a complete sentence so needs a period.
- Fixed.
- Check MOS:NUM, usually numbers below 10 are written as words.
- Fixed.
- MOS:DTT for screen readers needs col and row scopes to be implemented.
- Unfortunately, I don't understand what you mean.
- This is an example of adding the col scopes. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:03, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The N/As and Int need to be forced to sort in the correct order when sorting by the hash.
- Corrected.
- Avoid hash for "number" per WP:HASH.
- This is standard for these kind of lists (ex. List of Washington & Jefferson Presidents head football coaches).
- George Welsh and Paul Johnson are dab links.
- Fixed.
- ""X" indicates an interim year without play." not seeing this anywhere.
- Removed.
- Doubt you need Category:Navy Midshipmen football as Category:Navy Midshipmen football coaches is more refined.
- Removed.

Comment (having stumbled here from my FLC discussion page). The list page is well referenced, but a few minor issues: (1) The titles of Notes and Footnotes should be swapped. Notes are for citations, and Footnotes are for general comments about things in the article. (2) I'd like to see responses by Awardgive to the recommendations by The Rambling Man, above. (3) Paragraphs two and three of the WP:LEAD sect are quite short, these should probably be merged together to just have three total paragraphs in the lede intro sect. (4) There's room in the page for a couple more free-use images. — Cirt (talk) 12:47, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments I know very little about football which probably contributes to my dropping in on a list which at first glance I mistakenly thought was about naval officers who later became head coaches... Anyhow, a few observations:
- The lead is well written and gives a nice overview of the list.
- Thank you.
- I have added the references to the lead, thanks for finding those.
- The paragraph beginning with Vauix Carter, the “perfect 1.000” could probably use a citation, or a comment that he won the only game he coached. Perhaps some of the other stats presented in the paragraph could use citations.
- Added a note explaining that he only coached one game.
- The main reference for the entire coaches table appears to be another Wikipedia list which covers only the 2013 NCAA season. Some of the coaches have a reference, but the majority don't. You may want to use this reference (which you do) to cover the entire coaches table. -- Godot13 (talk) 07:10, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Sourced the table to the Coaching Records website. Thanks for the suggestions, I have attempted to apply all of them to the article. - Awardgive. Help out with Project Fillmore County 04:06, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I guess I still don't understand why the general note "[A 7]" for the entire Coaches table contains "Statistics correct as of the end of the 2013–14 college football season" when only #37 on that list had a game in 2013... Not trying to be difficult, just trying to understand.-Godot13 (talk) 05:08, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- It's alright. The note is standard for lists like this (example: this). It's really just there to say that the list is up-to-date and everything is correct. Thanks, - Awardgive. Help out with Project Fillmore County 17:57, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments:
- "becoming one of the first Independent schools in that division" - lowercase i, the linked article doesn't capitalize it.
- "No coach" is sorting under N; better, I think, to sort before A or after Z.
- Similarly, "—" should sort before 0, not after 0, in the bowls column.
- You have two images down below the table, but the table isn't that wide, leaving a ton of whitespace on the right side on my monitor. Why not move the images up next to the table?
- Why the heck are references 3 and 9 Wikipedia articles? Wikipedia articles are not RSs.
- If no author is specified, you should leave the author fields blank, rather than putting in "staff" or "staff writer".
- Consider archiving your online references with a site like webcitation.org or web.archive.org, so that if the cited sources ever change or go down, it doesn't affect your list.

- The most important part of TV season articles (and the part that makes this a list rather than an article - there is a lot of good prose here) is the table of episodes. But naturally just the names and production info isn't all that vital: readers (including me) like to know briefly what happens in each episode without having to go to each article. Episodes 1, 7, and 14 are fairly good, but most others could hardly be called a summary, so I'd really appreciate an expansion of these. More review to come. Reywas92Talk 05:25, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I googled several of these summaries after noticing they didn't seem like typical WP writing style - they're mostly copied from stuff like http://www.cbspressexpress.com/cbs-news/releases/view?id=11590 and tvrage.com/How_I_Met_Your_Mother/episode_guide/1.

- The lead summary is a little too detailed, particularly "but when she moves to Germany for a culinary fellowship, Ted and Robin nearly have sex." if that could be rewritten.
- "Ted's self-appointed best friend and womanizer" sounds like he's Ted's womanizer.
- Award names should not have quotation marks. (Casting and Awards sections)
- "who were cast as Ted and Marshall respectively" is redundant to the first paragraph's info.
- Tense should be consistent in reception, e.g. derides -> derided.

Comments: Nice work on the list, but the references could be fixed
- Main sources such as The Hollywood Reporter and Orlando Sentinel should be listed as work instead of publisher.
- The publisher of the sources should be the owner of the publication. For example Tribune Company would be for the Orlando Sentinel, Prometheus Global Media for The Hollywood Reporter, The Walt Disney Company for ABC Television Group and so on and so forth.
- For ref 21, the article's title should not be all caps per se WP:ALLCAPS policy.
- For ref 22, the work is credited as the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences with its abbreviation ATAS as its publisher.

On what grounds you decided to fix the 300 mark as a significant achievement in Test cricket. Why not 200 or may be 400? —Vensatry (Ping me) 07:16, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]- I thought that was answered in the lead with the references to sources quoting a 300-club etc? The Rambling Man (talk) 11:04, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Have a look at ref# 3, 4 and 5. —Zia Khan 20:36, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- May be, also have a look at [28], [29] and see what the man at top of the table feels. Although I'm aware that we shouldn't rely too much on Cricinfo, the most comprehensive cricket website, see their standards for "Most wickets in career". Fixing 300 wickets as an yardstick based on some random news sources seems arbitrary to me. —Vensatry (Ping me) 06:36, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Before creating the list I had asked for opinion here. Also, at the PR non of the reviewers had this kind of concern, including Harrias (talk · contribs). I'm not fixing 300 wickets, you may create lists for for 200, 400 or most wickets etc. There are only 11 and 4 bowlers with 400 wickets in Tests and ODIs respectively, and too many bowlers have taken over 200 wickets and many others are about to reach the 200 mark. Many cricket articles depend upon these "random news sources". You showed me Cricinfo's standards for the most Test wicket, so look at this for List of Test cricket triple centuries. Actually, your concern is just like this one. —Zia Khan 11:17, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- I thought WT:CRIC is the right place. After reading the last comment it's clear that you haven't got my point. Since TRM is a co-nom, I may have to wait for others opinion and will continue with the review if they are satisfied with your benchmark. —Vensatry (Ping me) 12:56, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Much better, appreciated. —Zia Khan 13:08, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't have a problem with it: Only 11 bowlers have taken over 400 wickets in Test cricket, so that seems a little restrictive, while in excess of 50 bowlers have taken over 200 wickets, so that seems too inclusive. At the moment, this seems the best balance. The line has to be somewhere, and this in my opinion is the most logical point to draw it. Harrias talk 12:17, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree with Harrias. We need to have a benchmark, and 300 wickets is the most balanced one. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 11:21, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- The table is sorted by surname because this list is about the bowlers who have taken 300 or more wickets rather than the list of most wickets?! Earlier this was sorted by wickets, I changed it because Harrias suggested this at the PR. —Zia Khan 13:09, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I think the deafault should be the number of wickets. Compare with (mis-titled) List of batsmen who have scored over 10000 Test cricket runs. Every single Test match/ODI I've ever watched on TV that shows a "career best" table during a slow period in the game, lists the achievement by total runs/wickets/catches/stumpings, etc. Maybe that's just me though. Any others with thoughts on this? Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 13:46, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The list you mentioned will be discussed if gets a nomination here. Referring my previous comment, I would say a list of most wickets may be created. Anyway, lets wait what say others! 16:19, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
- Fine with that, just makes sense to me to have it highest to lowest by wickets taken. Another example is List of tallest buildings in the world. No one would really want this listed A-Z, as the key fact is the height. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 18:39, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Yep, I'm with Nutlugs here, the wickets taken is the key parameter. Should initially sort by that. Bummer. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:41, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- To clarify, my comment at the PR was merely intended to mean that when sorting by name, it should sort by surname alphabetically, not that it should be pre-sorted by surname. That said, I think the player's name should be the row scope. Harrias talk 19:24, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mild oppose
While I'm convinced with the "300 figure", I don't think the prose does enough justice to this list at the moment. The first para seems okay, while the second one just reads like a list of facts. Given the amount of sources available and facts to be included, I think the lead can be re-written slightly to make the prose even more engaging. —Vensatry (Ping) 11:23, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I am not sure what may be changed here. I'll leave this to The Rambling Man. —Zia Khan 21:10, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I feel the prose has improved since my previous visit. There are many other aspects which can be included apart from the ones mentioned currently in the lead. However, that isn't a problem. So I'll switch to support. —Vensatry (Ping) 16:39, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Support (having stumbled here from my FLC discussion page). The list page is very well sourced throughout. Good job by Vibhijain and Lemonade51 with helping to address some minor fixes, and nice response by Sahara4u to those comments, above. A few recommendations: the title for the sect Notes should actually be Footnotes, as Notes refers to actual citations and Footnotes refers to comments on article text at the end of the article; in addition, I think the article has room enough for a couple more free-use images, if possible.

- Support, but you should change "The list is initially arranged by the most number of wickets taken by a bowler" to "The list is initially arranged in order of number of wickets taken". "Most number" is not gramatically correct English. It should be "highest number", however saying that the table is sorted by the highest number of wickets taken by a bowler implies that bowlers could have multiple numbers of wickets taken, which is obviously nonsense. My suggested version is gramatically correct and makes sense -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:07, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Two issues I have are that there are no third-party sources (which I'm sure must exist for this topic) and the content fork (criteria 3b for FLs) with List of Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles of the 2010s, which covers the same material. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 19:41, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- "A content fork is the creation of multiple separate articles all treating the same subject" - the subject being Hot 100 number-one singles, so the decade and individual year lists will always be content forks of each other. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 19:50, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment (having stumbled here from my FLC discussion page). The list page is indeed meticulously cited, nice job so far by HĐ, however as to the quality of the sources themselves, I think it likely that third-party-sources exist for this info. Are the current sources satisfactory for WP:RS and WP:V? Yes. But still it could only help to improve the page further to buttress those with additional third-party-sources, as well. As far as the existence of the list page itself in relation to List of Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles of the 2010s, as mentioned above by Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars, I think I'd like to hear from additional editors about that element, before weighing in further on that issue.

- Comments
- Her debut single "American Girl" was released in 2013—but the table lists "Trouble" and "Somebody" from Trouble (2004) as singles?
- You don't need the refs in the lead and the photo-captions for stuff that is referenced in the table. Remove them.
- She was named Rolling Stone's "Best Secret Weapon" in 2011—this sentence makes it seem like an official, major honour ("she won for Best Album at the Grammys), when it's likely just an off-the-cuff remark.
- McKee is perhaps best known for collaborating with fellow singer-songwriter Katy Perry—the cite at the end doesn't seem to back this up. I also think it's a bit much to call Perry a "singer-songwriter"; it makes it seem that she is in the mould of McKee.
- "Thanks For Nothing" → "Thanks for Nothing". Audit for similar throughout per the rules of MOS:CT.
- Decapitalise the all-caps titles in the references per MOS:CT. The "(Legal work)" is also unnecessary.
- I urge you to use WebCite or something to create a backup of your BMI refs, just in case they change their URLs suddenly (it's happened in the past with several industry websites).
- Some of the refs are missing publisher name; some are wrongly name "BMI | Repertoire Search". Please audit all your references for errors.
- Not a fan of the separate table for the chart toppers; mostly a redundancy. Instead I suggest two things, choose either: a) list UK and US chart positions for all the songs in the main table or b) create a hat-note or symbol for the chart-toppers (separate ones for UK and US).
- Those three notes right at the bottom need a better home, and also should be alphabetised instead of numbered to prevent confusing with the ref nos. I suggest doing what I did at List of current Indian chief ministers (see below the main table).
- In the "Contents" you should remove the alphabets with no entries; "0-9" and "N", for eg.
- The "Indicates songs written solely by McKee" symbol is unnecessary IMO. That she wrote it solely is self-evident from seeing her name alone. Also it seems to only apply to her Trouble songs.
- "Indicates promotional single release" should be replaced by a hatnote since it's a single occurrence.

- Support (having stumbled here from my FLC discussion page). The list page is quite well referenced throughout, and also has great tabular presentation and formatting that looks high quality to me as compared with previous Featured Lists. One small issue with this particular one: the notes at the end of the list, the four last notes at the end of the subsection Songs, should be contained in their own separate subsection called Footnotes.

Comments
- No need for that bold start in the lead, certainly no reason to have bold links.
- Image captions which are not complete sentences do not need to take a full stop.
- No need to repeat McKee three times in the first three sentences.
- "McKee is well known for co-writing" this sounds like an opinion without a reference.
- ""Dynamite" became the second-best-selling song by a British artist in the digital era." is this claim referenced?
- Notes are typically referenced if they make claims which aren't referenced elsewhere.
- Check ref titles for WP:DASH compliance.
- Avoid SHOUTING in ref titles.
- Check refs have publisher information, e.g. check ref 37 for instance.

- I'd lead in with the 50+ credits and move the number of number ones to later one (probably just a straight switch). You want to define your scope clearly from the outset and then move on to more specific information; as is the opening sentence sets up expectations of a very brief list.
- I'm not convinced the table needs indicators for number one singles; this can easily be set up either in the lead, in referenced captions along the side (for example, the Katy Perry one could be expanded with a list of which five, followed by a ref; this would also fill up a little more white space). As we have it, it just seems odd to focus so up-front on only two markets.
- Where has this woman been all my life?
- Consider alt text for your images to better comply with WP:ACCESS.
- "Eight of these have topped either the British or the American charts" -> I'd explicitly mention and link the UK Singles Chart and Billboard Hot 100 here
- "In 2012, McKee co-wrote three songs on Adam Lambert's album Trespassing and two songs for Ke$ha's album Warrior, "C'Mon" and "Supernatural", the former of which served as the second single from the record." -> Overly long. Best bet might be to name the Lambert songs, end sentence, start a new one for the Kesha songs.
- ""Dynamite" became the second-best-selling song by a British artist in the digital era." -> Big claim, needs a ref. Might also be worth clarifying what the "digital era" is (given that compact discs are digital media, is this from the mid-80s on, or is this from the advent of downloads in chart figures, or somewhere in between?)
- There are songs in the table with no artist or album, which I assume are just owned by a label until they're assigned to an artist; it might be worth clarifying this situation in the lead (it'd be more valuable as information than, say, what song was a single from which album).
- There's a few instances of refs preceded by an unnecessary space.
- I've never seen the point of alphabetical anchors in a sortable table, but that's just aesthetic on my part really.
- Not sure it's optimal to have "N/A" sort in the midst of real entries; would it combine with {{sort}} to be shunted off to the end? If not, don't worry about it.
- If "BMI" is Broadcast Music, Inc., pipe it.
- Remember that the lead and table are due to date soon; information on the new album should be incorporated as soon as it can be reliably sourced.
- Comment I also question whether it is really necessary at all to indicate which songs were number ones in the US and the UK. Why just those two nations? For example, "Let There Be Love" apparently topped the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart, and "Ooh La La" was number one in South Korea. Wouldn't that make them "number-one singles"? That's just my initial thought about this list, I'll give a fuller review when I have the time. Overall, it seems to look pretty good. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 23:27, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - the claim about "Dynamite" by Taio Cruz seems to be based on this source. Although it doesn't specifically say, I think these figures relate to America only, not the whole world, so that should be made clear. Also it seems to relate to "the Nielsen SoundScan era", which is probably not exactly the same thing as "the digital era", whatever that is...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:23, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We are nominating this for featured list because it is a complete and comprehensive list of all municipalities within the Province of Saskatchewan in Canada. It follows the same format of successful nominations for the provinces of Ontario and Manitoba (and |Alberta, currently a Featured List Candidate). We are hoping to ultimately complete a featured topic for all municipalities in Canada. If this nomination and the nomination of Alberta below are successful 4 out of the 13 provinces and territories will be featured lists using this new and rigorous format. Thanks for your input!

- Comment: Stumbled upon this Municipal System History page which has incorporation dates for urban, rural and northern municipalities. I've added the original incorporation dates for the 24 northern municipalities. Though the current lack of the same for the urbans and rurals should not preclude achievement of FL status (it wasn't a barrier for List of municipalities in Ontario), I think these should be added eventually. The sheer number of urbans and rurals makes this a significant undertaking that could occur after FL achievement in my opinion. That being said, I have contacted the Saskatchewan government to ask if they could provide the PDF tables in Excel format, in the spirit of open data, to help streamline the eventual additions.

- What do you think? Do you see incorporation dates as integral to the list of municipalities in Canada pages? Would you like them to be eventually in all the articles?

- As mentioned above, and per the successful outcome of the Ontario FLC review where inclusion wasn't a barrier to promotion, I don't think its necessary to add them before the FL review closes. However, I do think it should be an action item for this article afterwards since the data is immediately available.

Comments
- The lists of urban and rural municipalities are very long with no breaks. Making the name the default field and adding Template:Compact ToC, as was done with Alberta, would make it easier for readers to find a municipality they were interested in.
- Comment is it possible to do a compact TOC that allows links to towns a, b, c, etc, then villages a, b, c, etc? It would be nice to retain the current default sort of cities alpha, then towns alpha, then villages alpha, the resort villages alpha. Hwy43 (talk) 19:55, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- You could post a question on the ToC talk page. I am not sure how it would work. I find ToC helpful when searching long tables, but I do not think it is crucial if you want to keep the default sort.

Support. A good list. Dudley Miles (talk) 16:43, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment from AmericanLemming I recently left a note on the talk page of list of municipalities in Manitoba regarding the placement of the table of contents. Since my questions regard all 13 articles of this type (and particularly those which are FLs or FLCs, like this one), I thought I would bring it up here as well. I have two questions:
- 1. Why is the table of contents on the right for this article when almost all other articles have it on the left?
- 2. Why is the table of contents on the right for the lists of municipalities in Manitoba, Alberta, and Saskatchewan but on the left for British Columbia (and yes, I know BC was promoted to FL status in 2007)? Shouldn't it be consistent one way or the other?
I'm new to the featured list process, so it's quite possible that list articles are more likely to have the TOC on the right for some reason unknown to me. AmericanLemming (talk) 01:46, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- See replies at Talk:List of municipalities in Manitoba#Why is the table of contents on the right?. Hwy43 (talk) 03:14, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- By the way, I've proposed adding a guideline on the position of TOCs on the MoS's talk page; the proposed addition currently states
"the table of contents should be floated left unless there is a compelling reason to have it on the right.""The table of contents may be floated left or right, but general practice is to have it floated left (the default setting)" I'd appreciate any input any regulars at the featured list candidate process have on the proposed addition. AmericanLemming (talk) 04:36, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- What do you think of the TOC placement in List of municipalities in the Northwest Territories? That seems to me to be clearer. If you agree I can make that a standard for all of these lists including this one. Mattximus (talk) 22:41, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- My apologies for getting back to you so late; I delisted this discussion from my watch list because I thought my concerns had been addressed (that is, I learned that it's okay to have the TOC on the right). But about your question, I very much prefer having the TOC where it is in the Northwest Territories article. It looks better and isn't stuck between the lead and the first section of the body. Please do change all of the articles to look like that. AmericanLemming (talk) 02:00, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry Mattximus and AmericanLemming, but it should not go where it is in the Northwest Territories article per #5 at Help:Section#Floating the TOC. Hwy43 (talk) 22:05, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- If there was a way to force the floated-right TOC that is stacked next to images to appear precisely after the first paragraph, let's do it. I've been unsuccessful in my previous attempts. Hwy43 (talk) 01:29, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- @Hwy43: Um, I'm a little confused. #5 states "However, the floating TOC should in most cases follow at least the first paragraph of article text." (emphasis mine) That means in some cases you can have it be otherwise, such as here. I'm inferring that you personally prefer to have it follow at least the first paragraph of article text? Because the guideline doesn't say that it always has to follow at least the first paragraph of article text. Anyway, I'm sure you have you reasons for wanting to have the TOC right-floated and sandwiched right between the lead and the first paragraph of the body, and I am willing to respect your preferences. You've spent a lot more time working on these articles than me, anyway. :)
- We could ask around at the help desk or the village pump about your proposed solution, though. AmericanLemming (talk) 01:35, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- AmericanLemming, actually, where Mattximus put it is exactly my preference (with the dead white space resolved between the two adjacent images, which can be resolved). However, it is my interpretation that #5's "should in most cases" is the alternative to #2's "should be placed at the end of the lead section of the text". #2 goes on to say "Users of screen readers do not expect any text between the TOC and the first heading, and having no text above the TOC is confusing." That last bit is key here. My preference is at the top, but we are constrained by these guidelines. Trying to put it after the first paragraph seems to be the best compromise between the end of the lead and before any text. Hwy43 (talk) 03:30, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- By the way, I've proposed adding a guideline on the position of TOCs on the MoS's talk page; the proposed addition currently states
Continuation of TOC positioning discussion from above
I have started my reply on a new line because, when you need eight colons to indent your reply, it's time to start over. Anyway, I have to agree with you, Hwy43, that putting it immediately after the first paragraph in the lead would be preferable, considering guideline #2. As such, I have asked around at the Help desk: Placing the TOC immediately after the first paragraph in the lead. AmericanLemming (talk) 07:21, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is a particularly notable subject; in line with the NC-17, its interesting to see that relatively few "mainstream" games have ever dared to receive an AO rating, and I bet you most people don't even realize there's something higher than M! I did a lot of cleanup lately, adding some more backstories, filling out references, adding a lead, etc. ViperSnake151 Talk 18:37, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Quick comments by Mattximus (talk) 23:58, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not too impressed with the list itself. The note section only has a few notes, most have a dash, one is blank. Maybe a year column would benefit? What is the difference between "PC", "Windows", and "Windows PC"; all three are under that one column. You have a cancelled game, a game that was re-rated, there seems to be no real criteria for inclusion here. I'm confused.
- These are all video games that were rated AO by the ESRB; how can the criteria for inclusion be any clearer? And I fixed up those formatting issues. ViperSnake151 Talk 00:33, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
- I'd mention when the ESRB started, probably at the end of the first paragraph.
- Might also be worth mentioning its equivalents in other countries, or that it's like NC-17, if you can find sources.
- "was given the AO rating for its violent content, so much so that when its publisher" - 'so much so' what? It was rated so much? Sentence needs reworking.
- Since the platform column is sortable, every instance of each term should be linked.
- I'd add a release date (or at least release year) column, as well as a developer column.
- You seem to have notes only on the non-sexual games- any way to get notes for the others, or would they all just be "digital nudity and explicit sex"?
- The Joy of Sex should sort under J, not T.
- If you add notes to the other games, you can drop the sorting on the notes column, since the result is arbitrary.
--PresN 05:59, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I fixed up the Thrill Kill mention, but I can't seem to find release years for those remaining AO games that are otherwise unremarkable and lacking notes (aside from Lula 3D; which I also got a chance to add to List of video games notable for negative reception as well). This table is sourced directly from the ESRB pages, which don't distinctly list developers or release years. ViperSnake151 Talk 06:04, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from Red Phoenix build the future...remember the past...:
- Tables need to comply with MOS:DTT and utilize column and row scopes.
- Do we have any more info about the games? Usually lists of video games include title, developer, publisher, and year. I'm not pushy about needing a developer column since we have the publisher list, but I think a column with year of release would be helpful and necessary to make this a complete list. I can see PresN noted this, but I would say it's necessary to meet criteria 3a of WP:WIAFL. You may want to try using IGN or Allgame to fill in some of the information on some of these games.
- Instead of having a ref next to the game title, it might be better to place it in a separate column since there are individual references for each title here and not one overarching reference. See List of Sega 32X games for a suggestion on how this might be accomplished, and would neaten up the title field.
- Though not necessary, you may want to place {{portal}} in the See also section to add a link to the Video games Portal, which may be helpful for readers.
- There's an extra ] next to the word Windows in the last paragraph of the lead.

- Reiterating the need for release dates, or at least release years, especially for the blacklinked items. If the only source used does not contain them then it is not an adequate source for an FL, we'll need more. --Golbez (talk) 15:56, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose - no response from nominator or edits to article for a month regarding adding developer or release date to table; that you would have to find another source beyond the ESRB for those is not a valid excuse. --PresN 19:49, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment (having stumbled here from my FLC discussion page). The list page is certainly useful, but valid concerns have indeed been raised above. I think the refs from the Title column should be moved instead to the Notes column, for uniformity with other FL quality list pages I've come across.

You know what this place needs? If you said "more nominations of speculative fiction award lists", you're right! To that end, here's the list for the World Fantasy Award for Best Novella, the award for those stories in that awkward length where they're a bit too long to be short stories but still too short to generally get published on their own, as presented by the biggest player in the Fantasy-specific literary awards. Like always, the list is based off of the dozens of Hugo, Nebula, etc. award lists I've pushed through here in the last few years, with specific attention paid to the comments received at the Novel category nomination from a month ago. Thanks for reviewing! --PresN 23:48, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Another great article from PresN, consistent with his other award lists; have just found a few very minor issues, included below:
- the next-most nominations without winning is five by Kim Newman. -- not a fan of this wording, suggest a re-write
- Per WP:ALSO, why is World Fantasy Convention repeated in the See also section? Ruby 2010/2013 17:18, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Comments from Crisco 1492
- published in English or translated into English. - aren't these both, technically, published in English?
- Why are your novellas in quotes? WP:ITALICS puts "books" (novellas are often published stand-alone, so they count) in italics, whereas short stories are in quotes.
- and K. J. Parker, who won both times they were nominated. - what's with the singular "they"? Is Parker's gender unknown? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:07, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, I was trying to be explicit that the work doesn't have to be originally written in English, just translated and published in that language in the prior year. Remove, though.
- If you notice, some of them are in quotes and some of them are italicized- this corresponds to if the novella, in its original incarnation, was published by itself or as a part of a larger work. This, in turn, matches up with the publisher/publication column- for example, Night Moves is italicized, and the publisher is listed as Axolotl Press, but "The River of Night's Dreaming" is in quotes, and the publication listed is Whispers III (Doubleday).
- That's an interesting way of approaching it. Has any consensus been formally established? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:10, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- To my knowledge, no- the MOS doesn't get any more specific about it, and WP:NOVELS doesn't have any guidelines either. That said, as far as I can tell it's the standard way of dealing with them- stand-alone works get italics, works that are a part of a longer work get quotes. After all, if it's in an anthology a novella is just a long short story, but if it's published on its own it's just a short book. Only awards try to give it a word-count definition. --PresN 18:28, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- First line of K. J. Parker's wikipedia page- "K. J. Parker is an author of fantasy fiction. The name is a pseudonym and the writer's true identity has never been revealed." --PresN 15:37, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets the criteria. I have recently completely updated and improved the article according to WP:FILMOGRAPHY. Earthh (talk) 02:07, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There's not a single reference outside the lead. That means that there's nothing to support any of the information in any of the lists. Have a look at List of awards and nominations received by Vidya Balan for an FLC on a similar topic to see how the information is supported by reliable sources. That's why there is a column provided for sources in the example at WP:FILMOGRAPHY. - SchroCat (talk) 02:59, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The list you cited is not a filmography. This article meets the criteria at WP:FILMOGRAPHY; if you read it, the Source column is an optional field that is to be used when a work may be obscure or difficult to confirm. A film in which an actor starred does not need to be sourced. Take a look at other featured lists such as Clint Eastwood filmography, Christopher Walken filmography, Robert Bathurst filmography or Vittorio Storaro filmography; they do not need sources for films they starred or directed, unless it is a work obscure or difficult to confirm.--Earthh (talk) 14:35, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- See Terry-Thomas on screen, radio, stage and record, David Niven on screen, stage, radio, record and in print and Hattie Jacques on stage, radio, screen and record, all of which are filmographies and all of which carry citations that support the information. These are all recent FLs, whereas the ones you list are between 2008 and 2010 and things have changed since those days: we now prefer that all information is supported by reliable sources. There is absolutely nothing in WP:FILMOGRAPHY that says we don't need to support information that appears in the body. - SchroCat (talk) 14:58, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's been a while since I've nominated an FLC! More than two years! It's great to finally be able to edit again. Anyways, back to the process. I am nominating this list because it first off meets the WIAFL, and is consistent with other NBA head coaches lists. I am also nominating this for FL because I need to finish what I started, and actually complete the NBA head coaches topic so that I can nominate that for FT. If there has been changes to the process or if there is anything I need to be updated on, please let me know. Thanks in advance! --K.Annoyomous (talk) 03:36, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Kevin McHale is listed twice, once for each term. Negates the usefulness of a sortable table.
- I used the MLB managers lists format and created a separate section just for head coaches with multiple tenures. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 10:59, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't understand why you did that. It's redundant and unneccessary. Why not just list McHale in the main table on one line? Rejectwater (talk) 01:02, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- That will inhibit the readers to clearly see the chronology of the position. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 22:12, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- The opening paragraph of the lead reads like a list of trivia. Should focus on the topic at hand.
- I rewrote some of the lead. Sorry to be a bummer, but there really isn't much I can add onto the lead. I made the lead look less trivial, but other than that, nothing much has changed. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 10:59, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The size of the lead is appropriate to the article (I wouldn't object to it being longer, and believe it could be, but I think it is adequate in size). The content of much of the first paragraph, however, is outside the scope. Delete everything from "The team was one of two..." through "David Kahn is their general manager." Replace it with a description of what a Minnesota Timberwolves coach is and what they are responsible for. See WP:LEAD: "The lead should define the topic and summarize the body of the article with appropriate weight." Rejectwater (talk) 01:02, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because it is part of a project for the Lo Nuestro Awards that were considered the "Latin Grammys", before the inception of the actual Latin Grammy Award. References for the first ceremonies are hard to find, I even sent emails to Univision and Billboard magazine to find out about the nominees on the missing years, with no success. This was a hard investigation by Erick and yours truly. I will be attentive to your comments and help to improve the article. Thanks. Javier Espinoza (talk) 07:23, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- I'm not the biggest fan of the "Winners and nominees" table. Is there any particular reason why this style was chosen? I've seen many different ways to do these sorts of tables, and I like Latin Grammy Award for Best Salsa Album the most.
- I think this table is easier to navigate. I also took several LGA list to FL status, with another template, but for this award I tried something different. Javier Espinoza (talk) 21:22, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Not a problem. I'm not personally a fan of that format, but that doesn't have anything to do with the FLC criteria. It's always nice to try things differently sometimes. — Status (talk · contribs) 23:49, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Some external links that need to be corrected.
- If 2013 and 2014 don't have their own articles, I don't think that need to be redlinked in the table.
- Maybe instead of "Multiple wins/nominations", this title could be reworked as "Multiple wins and nominations"?

- Support. A good list. Dudley Miles (talk) 19:29, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Referenced. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 20:27, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Support - seems comparable to other featured timelines. Only one point of concern- "East Pacific—defined as the region east of 140°W—and on June 1 in the central Pacific—defined as the region east of 140°W to the International Date Line" - so the central Pacific is located entirely inside the East Pacific? Looks good besides that. --PresN 19:35, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list status because not only do I believe it meets the criteria, but would also provide a platform to expand the ability for a greater featured content presence for Australian rules football articles (currently out of over 11,000 pages we have only four FAs and one FL). Any feedback will be greatly appreciated as I have never gone through this process before. Thanks, Allied45 (talk) 08:34, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

When User:Killervogel5 started updating the article "Hitting for the cycle" he wanted to make it more comprehensive beyond just MLB. To help him out I put together a list of NPB cycles. The list was always in good shape but I wasn't able to find a reliable source for the cycle list so I never pursued a FL. I was finally able to find one though so I cleaned it up a bit and put finishing touches on the list. I think it looks good now. Let me know what you think! --TorsodogTalk 06:12, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- In the key- "Player recorded a natural cycle" - this sounds awkward to my ears- "Denotes a natural cycle"?
- The italic text thing in the Cycles by franchise section seems like it would run afoul of WP:ACCESS - is it even necessary, given that you give the active dates of the franchise?
- Refs 7,8,11,12,13 are missing the "Kyodo News" publisher bit that you include in 14,15,16
- Consider archiving your online references via a service like web.archive.org or webcitation.org- online refs have a nasty tendency to move, change, or get deleted years later, leaving the list with dead references.
- --PresN 03:36, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- All fixed! However refs 8, 11, 12 and 13 aren't actually from "Kyodo News" articles. It isn't the publisher of The Japan Times, they are a Japanese news agency similar to the Associated Press. The Japan Times runs articles from them time to time. Should I include the actual publisher of The Japan Times, which is The Japan Times LTD, to alleviate the confusion or is that unnecessary? --TorsodogTalk 21:04, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I think so. --PresN 23:14, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Comments from Crisco 1492
- Fumio Fujimura with the Osaka Tigers and Hiromi Matsunaga with the Hankyu/Orix Braves, both with two. - when?
- I specifically left those dates out as to not clog up the lead with more and more dates. I figured they are in the table so why throw 4 more long dates into the mix if I didn't have to. Thoughts?
- That season also saw the only instance of cycles occurring on the same day: on July 1, hit by Atsunori Inaba of the Yakult Swallows and Arihito Muramatsu of the Fukuoka Daiei Hawks. - same game or different game?
- Good point! Different games. I will change to specify.
- Are the Japanese names presented in Western order (Given, Family) or traditional order (Family, Given)? A note might be worth making. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:24, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Western order. I'll look into this and see what kind of template notes are available.

Well, well, what do we have here but yet another Detroit Red Wings Featured List nomination. What is with these guys? This time around we have List of Detroit Red Wings award winners, easily the longest of the bunch and arguably the most impressive (in terms of what the team has accomplished). The team and it's players have taken home 158 awards so far; if a Red Wing hasn't won it, it probably isn't an active NHL award. The list has undergone peer review where all concerns were addressed. save for one regarding a tagging issue with one of the images. I am unconvinced that is a critical issue, but if others feel it is we can address it somehow. Also, I currently have an open FL nomination for List of Detroit Red Wings general managers, however I believe that given the status of that nomination I am within the standard that "[u]sers should not add a second FL nomination until the first has gained support and reviewers' concerns have been substantially addressed." As always I look forward to reading, addressing, and responding to your comments. Regards, and thank you for your time. Rejectwater (talk) 00:29, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Support, having already been through it at the Peer Review. However, a note about File:Red Wings retired Banners.jpg, I did leave a note at Commons about it at commons:Commons:Village_pump#File:Red_Wings_retired_Banners.jpg, but didn't get a response. :( — Cirt (talk) 01:20, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for your kind words and support, and also for trying to get something done with that image. Kind regards, Rejectwater (talk) 23:54, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- You're most welcome, I only wish there was more of a response to help with it, — Cirt (talk) 01:10, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- My two cents is, if you have the time, give it another look. It's a fairly long list and if there is one thing I know about reviewing articles, it's that there is always something that can be improved upon. Kind regards, Rejectwater (talk) 01:41, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Thank you for your help with this issue. Kind regards, Rejectwater (talk) 00:39, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Support. The article is well cited, comprehensive, and laid out fine. All the images have alt text (even if some of them are a little short, like Ted Lindsay). Good article, deserves a star. Anthony (talk) 16:21, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for your kind words and support. The alts were all recently updated per my understanding of WP:ALT, especially the Bush/Blair and Queen Elizabeth examples. The Ted Lindsay image you mentioned is just a picture of Ted Lindsay, and so that is all the alt text says. Kind regards, Rejectwater (talk) 23:54, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Not a lot left for me to complain about. I have only some small nitpicks, none of which would prevent me from casting my support now. Solid format and structure to the article, and incorporates some ideas that I really should go back and update List of Calgary Flames award winners with.
- "...and are one of the Original Six teams of the league." - This reads as if it is meant to be taken literally, as in the Red Wings were one of the NHL's first six franchises. Easily fixed by putting "Original Six" in quotes, thus changing the implication.
- The Red Wings are in an odd situation where, if they should reach the Stanley Cup Finals from the Eastern Conference, could have won the Wales Trophy for three different reasons. I think it would be useful to add and end note explaining that the Wales Trophy was first a divisional championship trophy, then a regular season championship, and now dedicated to the Eastern Conference championship. Especially since we know someone will come along and "fix" this. Also as a suggestion - and only if you (and others) think it a good idea: the Wales Trophy section could be split into two rows, the first showing when they won the American Division, and the second had the most points.
- Question: Do the Red Wings hand out team awards, similar to those awarded by the Flames? Near as I can tell from their media guide, they don't, but I would like to make sure as you are obviously an expert on the team! Resolute 00:40, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Calgary list - it's funny you say that because it was that page and List of New York Islanders award winners that served as the inspiration for this page.
- Original Six - fair enough. Done.
- Wales footnote - I have thought about the note explaining that also and will add it in soon. I don't think the idea of splitting the award into two rows is a good idea; the footnote should explain things sufficiently.
- Team awards - no, I am not aware of anything like that. As you say, there is no mention of any such awards in the team media guide. For a publication that includes the team's all time record in games played on Halloween, I trust that not being in that guide means there aren't any.
- Thank you for your kind words, input, support, and for taking the time. Regards, Rejectwater (talk) 10:06, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments from Crisco 1492
Their most recent team trophy was the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl in 2009, taken in honor of being the champions of the Western Conference. - You just mentioned they are part of the Eastern conference. How can they be champions of the Western Conference?their uniform number retired - what's a good link for this? Retired number, maybe?The section #Individual awards could do with standardising how you write numbers (numerals or words)The second paragraph of #All-Star Game selections needs at least one citationJack Adams Player 1959 none - What's this supposed to mean, no years playing with the team? If he was a manager for the team, then you should give a footnote clarifying how he was involved with the Red Wings. Other people in a similar situation as well.The Red Wings have also made the number 6 of Larry Aurie and the number 16 of Vladimir Konstantinov no longer available for issue, however those numbers are not considered to be officially retired - so why are they not available?- Look for duplicate links between sections, like Gordie Howe, First and Second Team All-Stars, Stanley Cup, etc. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:50, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- West vs. East; have added footnote that explains this.
- Retired number - added wikilink
- How numbers are written - I believe I have standardized the entire page in this regard. Numbers are written out using words in prose sections and in numerals in tables. There is one exception: the retired numbers section. In that section uniform numbers are displayed as numerals which is the way they are used and displayed (ie, Steve Yzerman wore 19, not nineteen). More to follow. Regards, Rejectwater (talk) 22:12, 30 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- All-Star Game selections citations - done.
- Hall of Fame/none - added footnotes for individuals in question. Rejectwater (talk) 01:31, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Have added explanations for Aurie and Konstantinov.
- Duplicate links - the page is currently set up as one link per term per prose section with unlimited links in the sortable tables. You are saying there should be no more than one link per term for the entire article? Regards, Rejectwater (talk) 00:17, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Last one: Only in prose sections outside the lede. Tables should be fully wikilinked. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:14, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from --K.Annoyomous (talk)
- Descriptions should be unsortable
- Is it possible for you to add (#) beside the names to denote how many times the player has won the same award?
- Why fix the widths of the tables? The tables will appear just as good without the fixed widths :D
--K.Annoyomous (talk) 12:25, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Descriptions, unsortable - I disagree. Is there a policy at play here or is this your preference?
- Making the Description column sortable does not add value to the table. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 08:56, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Getting rid of the function certainly doesn't add value. I take it then, that this is your preference. Having no knowledge of any pertinent policy that would apply here my preference is to leave it as it is. Rejectwater (talk) 00:29, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, there is no policy that states that descriptions must be unsortable, and this may be a personal preference; however, the descriptions are not data, and this may only be my opinion, but I just find sorting non-data to be redundant. I also don't recollect any other tables that sort their descriptions except for the two in this article. It would be nice if there was a third-party to comment on this matter. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 22:59, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- add (#) beside the names - yes, it is possible. I am unsure of the value of this and fear it would clutter the table(s).
- It won't clutter the tables, seeing that they are all wide enough. The reason why I had them on the featured lists have I have contributed to is because I, and assuming that others do as well, would like to know how many times each player has won said award. It gives readers a sense of how successful each player was during his time with the Red Wings.
- What I am thinking for this is two additional columns. One for times won by individual and one for aggregrate team wins. This would allow sorting. Readers could see which award has been won the most by individuals, won the most by the team overall, etc. Let me know what you think. Rejectwater (talk) 00:29, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Sounds like a good plan to me! I can't visualize what you are describing, but I think it would be informative. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 22:59, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Fixed width - featured list criteria 5a, visual appeal. Regards, Rejectwater (talk) 00:17, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The huge empty areas are visually unappealing. I can see that you want the table all the same width, but just look at all that extra unneeded space in the Number of selections column for NHL First and Second Team All-Stars! The Team trophies table looks squished, so a fixed width is unnecessary for that specific table. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 08:56, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Unfixing the width of the tables doesn't get rid of any unused area. The tables simply stretch to fill all available space. Fixing the width limits the size of the table, it doesn't expand it. I have fixed the team trophy table to be the same size as the others. Rejectwater (talk) 00:29, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, it depends on the table. If we remove all the fixed width settings, some tables would stretch to fill the whole screen while others would be tiny. The unused space you are concerned with would be empty whitespace on the page rather than empty space in the table cells. Huge, huge chunks of empty whitespace in many sections. Of course, that also depends on the screen resolution and size of the window the browser is being viewed in, which cannot be controlled for... except by fixing the width as a percentage. Rejectwater (talk) 00:41, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The "Team trophies" table now looks out of place with the resolution that I have (1366px width). I suggest that that table alone be left unfixed so that it is visually appealing for common resolutions (~1280px and up), unless there is a better solution. Also, why is this particular table unsortable? I was assuming that it was because the table is short enough for the sorting function to not be needed, but then I saw the table for "Other awards", and that one is sortable. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 22:59, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- For the "Number of selections" column that I mentioned, how about shorten the column title to "Selections" and fix the width to 1%? I think that will resolve the gigantic empty space in that column, and will make the table look more even. Try that out and let me know what you think. --K.Annoyomous (talk) 22:59, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Quick comments (well, ignorant questions mainly)
- Lead says "awards and honors" but the title is simply "award winners", should this be moved to "award and honor winners"?
- "captured the Stanley Cup as league champion" is there another way to win the Stanley Cup other than to be league champion?
- Not any more, but the Cup predates the NHL, it was originally a challenge trophy and for a time it was a championship trophy for the winner of a series between PCHA/WCHL/WHL and NHA/NHL. It was possible to be NHL champions and not win the Stanley Cup. While both of those eras predate the Wings it is part of the Cup's history.
- " team's most decorated player" should that be "individual player" or is he both?
- Not sure I understand.
- " leads goaltenders with three wins of the Vezina Trophy as the league's best goaltender" repetitive use of goaltender.
- Looking at the lead it appears that it is broken down by position so I'm not sure how to re-word in the current format and use the official description of the trophy. I thought about changing the first instance to netminders of goalies but I'm not sure how encyclopedic either one is.
- "uniform retired", I imagine we have a suitable link for this in the lead.
- Linked
- "1954–55" etc wrap onto two lines for me, suggest use of the {{nowrap}} template to prevent this from occurring.
- Added nowrap all of the dates on the team awards table.
- Also, for non-experts, is there a link to "regular season"?
- Linked
- Lindstrom is missing his diacritic. So is Borje.
- There is a compromise at WP:Ice Hockey that diacritic are used on all bios and pages for leagues where that are commonly used. But not used on pages based on leagues that do not use them (most North American based pages). I added pipe links to avoid redirects.
- Sorting on Description, since it's free text, is a little pointless.
- Removed sorting ability
- I would have thought Plus–minus should be separated by an en-dash, not a hyphen.
- These are how the pages are named. I'm not sure what the proper format would be.
- In Safari, "Number of selections" column is far wider than any other, yet it contains only two digits at most.
- Shortened to Selections, which reduces the column size a bit, but I'm not sure how to make it smaller.
- If "Babe Siebert Memorial Game" is so notable, why no article?
- No one has made a page for it yet. Being it's from 1939 the sources are more difficult to find (majority offline) and its less likley to be worked on due to age.
- " with the Lester Patrick Trophy. The Lester Patrick Trophy" poor prose alert.
- Changed second mention to The trophy as to not repeat back to back.
- Image captions which are not complete sentences should not have a full stop.
- Removed.
- Would imagine you could try 3 columns in the refs since so many point at the book and a single page ref.
- Changed to 3 columns
- Ensure retrieval dates are all formatted the same.
- I think that they are all now the same
- Similar applies to publication dates.
- Same as the access dates, though I may have missed one.

Nominations for removal

I am nominating this for featured list removal because it has been tagged for update (for over a year), some descriptions are empty, some are straight up copied from the unesco website with no attribution, some images need alt text and is straight up missing some world heritage sites. 48JCL public (talk) 16:10, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- Tagging Tone for awareness, as they've been working on World Heritage Sites lists for quite a while now. --PresN 20:41, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Remove. As mentioned, I've been working on those lists for a while and somehow the continent-wide lists are out of date and of bad style, compared to what the current FLs use. Also, due to its sheer size, the list is really difficult to maintain properly, as new sites get added every year, endangered list is getting updated occasionally etc. Having coordinates in the table is rather pointless since these sites are often not limited to a single location. Area is also not very informative, and sometimes even missing. Pictures are formatted randomly, sometimes centred, sometimes not. And technically, tentative sites should be mentioned, which probably more than doubles the list. I'd suggest trimming this list down to only a list of sites per country, without descriptions or images, and links to country articles. Speaking of, lists for Peru and Madagascar are not in a good shape and the list in danger is so-so (mostly excessive info in the table, as mentioned above), although better than this one. The three I mentioned are fixable, but this one probably requires too much work to be taken care during the FLRC process. --Tone 22:49, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. The tagged "historical background" section wasn't in the original promoted FL. Nothing it says looks that controversial, but I think I'd be fine with expecting people to read the main Berlin Wall article first if they need background. I've chopped it down and added a basic ref (although not one that covers some of the minor details, but eh, it's probably in one of the longer works exclusively on the Berlin Wall). That said, as a procedural side note. Tastes differ and there will always be borderline tough calls... but... honestly this seems more like an article than a list anyway? Page size reports ~5,700 prose words ignoring the list itself, which is pretty significant and probably longer than the "main" list. This seems more like an article with an attached list than a list with some prose explanation, so possible it should be demoted on those grounds and moved to Deaths at the Berlin Wall or the like. SnowFire (talk) 10:32, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Remove seeing no other edits. Not convinced the prose / referencing of the larger article is up to FA snuff. Also, the URLs have moved to the memorial website (e.g. https://www.stiftung-berliner-mauer.de/de/gedenkstaette-berliner-mauer/historischer-ort/bernauer-strasse ), so it'd be cool if rather than relying on Wayback copies, they were updated, but more of a nice-to-have.

I am nominating this for featured list removal because it fails many of the Wikipedia:Featured list criteria, particularly criteria 1, 2 and 3. The lead text has not been significantly updated since it became a FL in 2013, apart from the addition of mostly unsourced text that also includes random stats and trivia. In addition, the lead and table list captains by titles won, but the main stats source [43] does not have the titles mentioned. In the table, apart from the titles being unsourced, the use of unexplained blue background text, I presume to list current IPL captains as of 2024, violates MOS:COLOUR as it is the sole way of identifying these. It is also not needed, but if colour is kept, it needs to be added to the key section and also use a symbol as per the MOS. Sourcing of this article is also pretty weak in general, since most of the lead text is sourced just to the database stats table. All in all, nowhere near the current FL criteria.
