List of awards and nominations received by Chris Brown

I'm nominating this list after its peer review (which is now archived) and I've made all corrections needed to assure this list to meet the featured list criteria. DiverseMentality 06:32, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

• Support - Now this is what I look for in a list - prose in each section rather than just tables. Good job. (Also it meets all criteria.Mitch32^(UP) 18:06, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Resolved comments from SRX

Comments - Good list, two things however. 1)Lists like these explain how they gained to prominence, usually explained in 1-2 sentences. 2)Even though the overall count is in the infobox, there needs to be a sentence stating how many awards/nom he has received, usually at the end of the final paragraph.--S_RX 18:26, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Added both. DiverseMentality 18:38, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

• "Brown has been nominated one time." "one time"-->once. This occurs several times in the article.
• Overlinking of Black Entertainment Television.
• "The awards are presented before the BET Awards annually and broadcast live on BET."-->These annually presented awards are presented before the BET Awards and broadcast live on BET.
• Refs 21 and 28 need a publisher (and publication date if available) and a last access date.
• "Brown has won six awards of twenty nominations." "of"-->from.
• "Brown has won one award of two nominations." "of"-->from. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:50, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't really get what you mean... -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 21:20, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

He means, why do you wikilink every publisher in the references.--S_RX 22:29, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Because there is an article about the publisher? -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 22:54, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Its really about personal choice, so that shouldn't prevent it from becoming an FL.--S_RX 23:20, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

I hope you are correct, because some reviewers insist that every instance should be linked, since you do not know which particular footnote a reader will be looking at. Rlendog (talk) 16:58, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

• The Washington Nationals are members of the National League (NL) East Division in Major League Baseball (MLB). - well this is where they work, but in this sentence, it should be stated what they do and what they are, i.e. a baseball franchise.
• I also don't understand why in the key GM stands from "Regular seasons managed" it doesn't add up, can you elaborate? The G just puzzles me.
• The # Column should be sortable.

There is no use for it to be sortable, since the list is already sorted by #. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 22:52, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

• The lead should also be expanded like in other FL's of this subject. I.e. +where they play, who is the teams owner.

It already says where they play. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 22:52, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

• "The Nationals are currently owned by Ted Lerner, with Jim Bowden as their general manager.[4]" Per WP:DATED
• Link "general manager" to General manager (baseball)
• On a related note, since you mention the GM, it would be great to include a GM table too.

The article isn't called List of Washington Nationals managers and general managers. Also, I didn't mention anything about general managers, I only mentioned about the Nationals executives, which includes the owner and general manager. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 00:56, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

• Acta is the current manager of the Nationals. Per WP:DATED
• It should be "winning percentage", not "Win–Loss percentage", since it only represents the percentage of games won.
• In the table, Gene Mauch has an asterisk by his name, but isn't shaded in green.

Image captions:

• "Manny Acta is the manager of the Nationals since 2007." → "Manny Acta has been the manager of the Nationals since 2007." or "Manny Acta has managed the Nationals since 2007."
• "Felipe Alou (right), shown with the San Francisco Giants, have managed ten seasons with the Expos."

• You still need to change "season" to "seasons" in the Frank Robinson image caption.
• "W–L%" in the table header & key should be changed to either "Win %" or "WPct" to reflect the "winning percentage" comment above. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 03:06, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

List of awards and nominations received by Rufus Wainwright

I've nominated this awards list for Featured List status because I feel it is of quality, and I have corrected problems addressed in a recent peer review session. As far as I know, these are all of the awards and nominations Rufus Wainwright has received, and I believe each one has been cited appropriately. Thanks!

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

Review by SRX

• In 1993, Atlas joined ethnic electronica group Transglobal Underground as lead singer and belly dancer. - +the before "lead singer"
• After the above sentence, it is not stated how she gained prominence solo, it should be noted.

I don't know what else to put. She's famous for her own solo recordings and she never left Transglobal Underground. Throughout the years she has provided vocals for their albums and singles. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 18:50, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

• The album, composed of traditional Arabic and electronic music, reached number one hundred and twenty-three in the United Kingdom. - because the ranking was in a three digits place, it should be in number format versus words (i.e. #100), since it is distracting to read a big number like that in word format.
• In the UK, the album reached number one hundred and twenty-eight. - number as well.
• The album, which features acoustic songs originally performed by Fairuz and Abdel Halim Hafez, reached number one hundred and sixty-two in France. - number as wellS_RX 21:44, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Comments Looks really good. My only complaint is with the prose of introduction paragraph. It goes into alot of detail about each album, but nothing else. No singles, compilation albums, etc. I would forgo going into so much detail about those (who she collaborated with doesn't come up in the list proper, so why should it come up in the introduction), and mention a larger variety of stuff. Other than that, I'd be happy to support. Drewcifer (talk) 01:51, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

I've added your comments into the lead. -- Underneath-it-All (talk) 20:18, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Looks good, so I'm happy to support. However, I do have one more language-based suggestion: the lead is very year-heavy. Most of the sentences begin or contain some form of "In 2002", "In 2004", etc. Try to mix it up, ie "A year later", "The following year", "After a two-year hiatus", etc. It will help it read a little less mechanically. Other than that, great work! Drewcifer (talk) 04:53, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

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

Oppose/Review by SRX

• However, after four losing seasons,[2] the team was sold to a group of investors based in Houston.[1] - it's not grammatically correct to start a sentence with "However."
• I reviewed a list like this before, main reason I oppose; something about the coaches history should be added, like who was the first one, which one led the Rockets to a NBA title? It should also be explained how GMs are different from Coaches, and what they do, and their history.S_RX 21:10, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

With regard to your second point, why do I have to talk about the GMs since this list is about coaches? Also, none of the other coach list talk about the GMs, why should I do that with this list?

• "Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority light rail is a light rail transit system serving the Santa Clara County in the U.S. state of California." "serving"-->that serves.
• "The system is operated by the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, who oversees public transit services in the county." "who"-->which.
• "In 1988 and 1990, the system extended south of Civic Center toward Downtown San Jose and Tamien station." Shouldn't it be "was extended"?
• "In December 1999, the system underwent another extension with the completion of the Tasman West section, began services to Mountain View." "began services to Mountain View" needs a connector.
• "The system extended to I-880/Milpitas in 2001 and to Hostetter station in 2004 as part of the Tasman East extension. " Needs a "was" before "extended".
• "The system currently operated 62 stations. 38 stations are served by the Mountain View – Winchester line, 36 are served by the Alum Rock – Santa Teresa line, and 3 are served by the Ohlone/Chynoweth–Almaden line."-->The system currently operated 62 stations, of which 38 stations are served by the Mountain View – Winchester line, 36 are served by the Alum Rock – Santa Teresa line, and 3 are served by the Ohlone/Chynoweth–Almaden line.

• VTA light rail is one of the largest light rail systems in the United States in terms of ridership. - Ranked #14, I don't believe this sentence is accurate. To the contrary, I believe VTA light rail has been roundly ridiculed for its anemic ridership. --Millbrooky (talk) 16:47, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

• Serving over 32,978 passengers a day - VTA light rail serves more passengers than the exact number of passengers it serves? While technically correct as the latest APTA report says VTA is serving 34,000 passengers per day, perhaps it would be better to just say 32,000 or "as of FY 2007." --Millbrooky (talk) 17:23, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Looks pretty good - Comments

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

• "The category for speculative fiction works has changed a number of times" "a number of times"-->"several times".
• "In early years the genre categories" Could you be more specific than "early years"?

I changed all the grammar ones per the suggestions.

For the colours, i simply wrote the colour name next to the legend (they were already described in the preceding sentence.) Is that now ok?

Thanks!Yobmod (talk) 18:40, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

For the colours, you need symbols (such as * ¤ ‡ †) also. Writing the name of the colors does not help color blind readers. Dabomb87 (talk) 19:47, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

But the colours only enforce the info given by bolding the winners and writing win/nom. Colourblind readers would have no trouble with it: This is not a case of colours being used as the only method to distinguish the winners. Plus colourblind people can distinguish between lavender and white. Even blind readers will have the info, due to it being written out. What would be the benefit of using symbols as a 4th way? or am i missing something on the guideline page (i'd never seen it before, but don't see any requirment for symbols with colours). btw I changed the grey to green to give better contrast, if that's a problem. I want to get it right this time, so the colours work for the other awards lists i'm working onYobmod (talk) 10:24, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

"Ensure that colour is not the only way used to convey important information." (from WP:COLORS). For the rows with the green background color (which is much better than grey by the way), use a symbol. For the rows with white background, don't add any symbol and mention in the legend that the past nominees' rows don't have a symbol. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:05, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

I wrote a sentence pointing out the key, with an internal link, is that ok, or should i still move it? I think it is a bit big to have on top, but is only 30 second job to move if you still think it is needed.Yobmod (talk) 14:26, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't think it is that big. Readers shouldn't have to scroll all the way down to find out those abbreviations mean. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:38, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Ok, i mildly disagree, cos 99% of readers will have no interest in the official category titles, and the abreviations are intuitive, but i moved it to avoid any confusion, as suggested.

current or prvious year? this is not consistant.

I added a fair use image of the medal design. I could include a photo of the actual medal, but it is embossed metal that is difficult to see anything of.

Linked first use of names (but left repeated entries in the table linked).

Year is current to the award, but previous to the ceremony year. I clarified the lead.

List of Governors of Arizona

Previous FLC

Still think it's one of the best works I have here, and I think many who opposed last time simply didn't come back around to address my responses. --Golbez (talk) 23:54, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

• I still do not like the use of fractions in the number of terms served. I also prefer darker colors than the pastel to represent political parties. See Indiana gubernatorial election, 2008#Results for better colors (within Template:Election box candidate with party link). Reywas92^Talk 20:22, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
  • I like those colors better; the pastels are useful for having text over them, but since this doesn't have that anymore, the bolder colors can be used. Do you suggest something like List of Presidents of the United States' showing the term number instead of the fractions? --Golbez (talk) 02:10, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
    • Keep in mind that doing that will render the table unsortable, FYI. --Golbez (talk) 02:12, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
      • I did a "proof of concept" by listing each term, rather than listing how many terms, and IMO it was quite ugly and clunky (And required extensive use of rowspans, which will confuse screen readers and possibly regular readers) What's wrong with the fractions? --Golbez (talk) 22:15, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
• Comment - In the state governors table, the sort function does not work properly for the governor's name or for the "Took office" and "Party" columns. (I wish I could see why it's not working, but the coding looks fine...) --Orlady (talk) 19:57, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Wow, all sorting except for Left Office is broken. That's a head scratcher, I'll bring it up with the tech folks. It was working a few weeks ago when I implemented it, that's for sure. --Golbez (talk) 21:38, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
    • Never mind, I found the problem; "colspan=2" in the Name section, to include the party bar, confused the sorting. It's fixable, but ugly. --Golbez (talk) 21:39, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

• Still surprised not to see the flag anywhere
  • Why do we need a picture of the flag? We have one of the governor. Does every article regarding the state or government of Arizona require a flag, regardless of its relevance? --Golbez (talk) 01:31, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
• Having the notes section smack dab in the middle of the list violates MOS:SECTIONS and WP:LAY#Standard appendices. I understand that other FLs have this issue, too, but IMO that's inappropriate.
  • I'll examine changing this. --Golbez (talk) 01:31, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
    • Done, but I still don't like it. :P --Golbez (talk) 17:25, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
• My opinion (and this isn't a show-stopper at all) is that pictures to the right of tables looks great, but having them to the right of tables and text doesn't work. But that's simply opinion.
  • I'll toy with this. --Golbez (talk) 17:25, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

and struck my oppose. Guess i'll weak support now (weak cosi've only done a cursory review).Yobmod (talk) 18:00, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

If the notes that make specific claims (eg: he dies, he took job elsewhere) are cited, i'll strike the weak too (not becaue they are controversial, but for making finding the info easier).

Everything that is not easily visible in the primary resources (mainly, the NGA link) is specifically cited. If I had a cite for every "he died", then there would be a lot of duplicate "he died"s. Now, if the primary sources contradicted, I would of course make a note of that and cite things - but in this case, they don't. --Golbez (talk) 16:00, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Is there a reason for bolding parts of those 3 citations? It makes them stick out a lot, can they not be italic or normal text?Yobmod (talk) 10:28, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Not my fault; blame the people who designed {{cite encyclopedia}}. --Golbez (talk) 16:00, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Also agree that a flag would look good (not necessarily instead of lead image, but in addition, if there is room). Also, is there not a footer navbox for arizona or arizona politics? 2 footers is not too much to have at all, and would autocolapse themselves, and would certainly make it easier for interested readers.Yobmod (talk) 10:31, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Still see no place for a flag that would look any better than "We just threw a flag on this article without regard for context". As for a footer, I agree; I've added an AZ footer. It's not great, but until there's an AZ government footer, it works. --Golbez (talk) 16:00, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Alright I went ahead and fixed these myself. They were broken for reasons that might not be obvious at first glance. Gary King (talk) 20:43, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

• I removed periods from notes that were non-sentences.
• I found a few "state secretary of state" and shortened them to "state secretary". I hope that's still correct.
  • I changed them to "secretary of state", since I don't need to specify it was the state one. --Golbez (talk) 07:36, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
• Besides the above, though...
• The page provides a useful history lesson, but it needs references.
• The "Most of the area that became Arizona was originally part of the Mexican territory of Alta California." paragraph
  • I trimmed the first sentence ; part of it may or may not have been part of Santa Fe de Nuevo Mexico, so rather than complicate matters, I just said it was part of Mexico. Graf sourced.
• "Arizona Territory was formed on February 24, 1863" paragraph
  • Sourced.
• For the "for" note below the list, perhaps use this instead, and maybe it should be placed at the top of the page instead: {{for|governors of the same region before the Arizona Territory was formed|List of Governors of New Mexico}}
  • That would be a bad place, because it offers no context. Hatnotes need to disambiguate based directly on the name of the article; for example, if there were an article on Arizona Territory's governors, then a hatnote might be useful. But in that case, a certain context is required to let the reader know *why* we care about New Mexico Territory's governors. Also, it's an effort to keep all of these lists looking similar; for something like Colorado, we'd have some very crowded hatnotes (Governors of Kansas, New Mexico, Utah, Idaho, and Texas). --Golbez (talk) 07:36, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Resolved review from SRX

Comments by SRX

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

Since I was talking about Shanahan on the two sentences before, that is why I putted with Reeves. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 00:17, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

In every single article that follows the format, "List of (team) head coaches", they all say exactly the same thing. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 00:38, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

• "Shanahan is also the only Broncos head coach to ever win a Super Bowl, with two."
• "Filchock, Faulkner, Mac Speedie, Jerry Smith, Ralston, and Miller have all spent their entire coaching careers with the Broncos."

Is such a Wikipedia list necessary to include the information in the comments section of the table?

List of premiers of the Northwest Territories

Gary King (talk) 16:09, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

• Comment — sources look good. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 16:11, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
• I understand why you included commissioners during the periods when the Territories didn't have an elected legislature, but I'm not sure if I agree with the inclusion of the Lieutenant-Governors. The LGs are vice-regal positions, and if you are going to mix up viceroys with heads of government, the list should probably be under a different name. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 18:49, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

  I could move them to another list. What do you suggest the list should be named? Gary King (talk) 18:52, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

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

  It's actually kind of hard to tell who was a government leader and who was representative of the crown. This will take some further research. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 16:34, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

  I figured as much. I will leave it be for now. Gary King (talk) 16:45, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

  From the looks of the sources, the people labelled as commissioners and premiers were just that. Therefore, this list should only include Frederick W. A. G. Haultain and the post 1980 premiers. The rest of these people should be moved to Commissioners of Northwest Territories, as the two titles are very different in their formal placement within the government, even if they were performing the same jobs. This would reduce the list to 11 items, which hopefully is still enough to make it featured. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 21:03, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

  Ah, I see. There will be a gap between the first Premier and the rest then. Should I place a note between them, and how should it be displayed? Gary King (talk) 21:06, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

• One change I would like to see is the order of the table. Rather than Image, number, name, the picture and name should be together with an order of Number, image, name. If this is done then I Support. Very good prose. Reywas92^Talk 01:47, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

  Could you clarify that by showing me visually how you would like to see it? The reason I've chosen this formatting is because the other lists in the group are in this format; you can see the other lists here: Template:Canadian First Ministers. Gary King (talk) 03:33, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

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

• "The men's major golf championships (majors)" – "The men's major golf championships, also known as majors,"
• "The four competitions are" – "The competitions are" – since "four" is already mentioned earlier
• "recognized" is American spelling I believe, not "recognised", and I think this article should use American spelling since three of the four championships are American.
• "in 1930 the Masters had yet to be established" – "in 1930, the Masters was not yet established"

• "The men's major golf championships, also known as majors, are the four most prestigious events in professional golf." According to whom are they the most prestigious events?
• "as of yet, no one has completed this feat, although Tiger Woods has held all four majors at once, a feat recognised as the Tiger Slam."
• "Bobby Jones is recognised as completing a grand slam in 1930" Awkward wording.

• "and the PGA Championship was not considered to be a major at that time."
• "Jack Nicklaus holds the record for winning the most majors, winning 18 during his career"-->Jack Nicklaus won 18 majors, more than any other golfer.

Personally I think this sentence is fine the way it is, and the one your suggesting is in my eyes worse than the current sentence. NapHit (talk) 23:55, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

• "Nicklaus also shares the record for the most U.S. Open victories, with Willie Anderson, Bobby Jones and Ben Hogan, each winning this competition four times." The first comma is not needed.

• If you are going to lead with the sentence "There have been 16 head coaches for the Milwaukee Bucks franchise," then "head coaches for the Milwaukee Bucks" needs to be bold and unlinked. I would suggest leading the article thus:

"The Milwaukee Bucks are an American professional basketball franchise based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, playing in the Central Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The team has played their home games at the Bradley Center since 1988.[1] The Bucks are currently owned by Herb Kohl, with John Hammond as their general manager. Since the team was formed in 1968, there have been 16 head coaches for the franchise."

List of One Piece video games

• Support - table issue is resolved from what I see below.--S_RX 01:05, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Support My issues were resolved from the previous FLC, and as long as the table issue is resolved, this list is ready for promotion. Dabomb87 (talk) 05:20, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

• Comments: The list looks like a good start and is close to FL status. Here are a few things that stood out to me.

  Lead

  • The first sentence seems a bit miss leading to me; mainly because I associated "One Piece" to a manga/anime series. I would tweak it to say "The One Piece video games series is published by..."
    • Done. -- Goodraise (talk) 18:40, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Another minor tweak. Feels redundant and just sounds weird to me: "The gGames of the One Piece series have been released..."
    • Done. -- Goodraise (talk) 18:40, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

  List

  • I think I understand the comment about empty space now. However, I think this is a result of the content rather than the format. A sortable table won't use the space much better.
    • Are there any other interesting tidbits about the specific games? Did one introduce something new and different to the series? Does one have any interesting fact about its development?
      • I don't know. I didn't even play the games. Most of the games don't even have an article of their own. So there's no easy way of drawing information from. -- Goodraise (talk) 15:25, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
    • Also, I think the publisher and developer comments can be combined into one statement. This will give the sentences more length and reduce some of the empty space to the right.
      • Done. -- Goodraise (talk) 15:25, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
    • If need be you can remove the {{-}} template to cut down on empty space too. Some editors don't like them, but I don't think they're a problem.
      • Removed most of them. I only added them in the first place to mirror the appearance of List of Castlevania titles. -- Goodraise (talk) 18:40, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Why is Battle Stadium not just a "Related game"? I remember it featuring characters and elements in a basic manner like the Jump Star games.

Hope these comments help. The list is looking good and I'll be happy to support once these issues are addressed. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 17:13, 11 November 2008 (UTC))

I don't know what you mean by "basic manner", but the "O." in "Battle Stadium D.O.N" stands for "One Piece", the "D." for "Dragon Ball", and the "N" for "Naruto". The playable characters and stages, like the title, are close to equally shared among the franchises. While Jump Ultimate Stars and Jump Super Stars feature characters from a wide variety of sources, like Super Smash Bros., Battle Stadium only draws from these three, more like X-Men vs. Street Fighter. However, that's just my subjective way of sorting the games and I wouldn't mind changing it, if this explaination is not convincing. -- Goodraise (talk) 18:40, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply, I didn't notice your question. I guess I've just always looked at the games (D.O.N. and Jump Stars) as the same type. Mainly because they are games focused on Shonen Jump characters with no real plot elements from any one series. The main difference I see is that DON focuses on just three series instead of 20+. I think a combining them into a single section titled "Other titles" would simplify things. I would also add details in the notes sections about what specifically relates them. Maybe number of characters, mention there are stages based on the anime, etc. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 15:32, 13 November 2008 (UTC))

• Done. (Don't worry about replying late. I did not expect a reply until I was done with the other issues. At that point I would have left you a message. Unfortunately, my hands are a bit fuller right now, than they were during the first two FLCs. This list has been up here for so long now...) -- Goodraise (talk) 15:25, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

• Further comments:

  Citations

  • I noticed there are a good number of references for some non-controversial content. I'd say two refs are perfectly fine and that some of the first party sources don't add anything extra to the list.
    • With the exception of reference [2] I used references I already had for everything they covered. That was in the early stages of that article. At that point I did not care about the visual appeal. Since then, as removing them is a lot easier than putting them back in, I left them where they are. Do you think I should remove excessive references? -- Goodraise (talk) 22:36, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
  • I tweaked the placement of citations to cut down on some of the excess, specifically the publisher/developer info. I did about half of the article as an example.
    • Done. (With 2 exceptions related to 2nd next issue.) -- Goodraise (talk) 23:42, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
  • I would argue that if a game was released on a single platform, then a citation isn't that necessary; the citation of the release date normally has that info anyway. But that's just me and it is not a deal breaker by any means.
    • Left it as is for the moment. As long as it's only one reviewer suggesting this, I'd rather not have to put it back later. -- Goodraise (talk) 23:42, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

  Content

  • For One Piece: Pirates' Carnival, I think the discrepancy between the two publishers (Bandai and Namco Bandai) is because the game was released in North American after March 31, 2006 when Namco and Bandai merged. I think this should be clarified in the notes and the lead. Something like, "Most of the games were originally published by Bandai. Following the merger of Namco and Bandai in March 2006, the series has been published under the Namco Bandai name."
    • Now, this is a bit tricky. I've carefully (maybe too carefully) tried not to do original research. Most of the games were released by Bandai Games, which was later renamed to Namco Bandai Games. The sources however don't refer to it under either name. They say Bandai (which still exists as a subsidiary of Namco Bandai Holdings) or Namco Bandai (which could mean either Namco Bandai Games or Namco Bandai Holdings). So instead of deciding which company a source is actually refering to, I only copied whatever name they used. - More generally speaking: In the opening sentence of the lead, I said the games were "published by subsidiaries of Namco Bandai Holdings". That way I don't have to use words such as "most", because all the companies: Bandai, Bandai Games, Namco Bandai Games, and even Banpresto fall into that category. I am not sure if the average reader of the list wants to be informed in such detail about the Namco Bandai Group's inner structure. But if it is desired, then I can elaborate, no problem. -- Goodraise (talk) 23:42, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Other than these small issues, I'd say the list has shaped up nicely. Keep up the good work. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 16:06, 14 November 2008 (UTC))

I think the extra refs amount to overkill and can be distracting. One Piece: Grand Battle! 3 for example. My eyes are drawn to the refs instead of the content.

Now that you mention it, I think explaining the merger is unnecessary and may confuse more than it informs.

Other than the refs issue, the list looks good. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 05:32, 16 November 2008 (UTC))

Fixed. I removed 30 citations from only 3 title entries. I suppose it was a bit much. -- Goodraise (talk) 06:55, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Support: The list has definitely improved and my main concerns have been addressed. Though I think the article still has some minor room for improvement here and there. But I still believe it meets criteria in its current form. Good job. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 16:41, 16 November 2008 (UTC))

Don't those refs go to the book, Almqvist & Wiksells stor-atlas, in the references section? Maxim_(talk) 15:22, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

They do (now that I can see the highlighting), but why do you need to on such a short article? The linking trick is useful when the list of references is so long that people might not find it easily, on this short of an article it's just confusing (at least to me) but it's certainly allowed.

It should be okay if you don't, but it would be nice if you could. Also, why are there three citations for each line?

I've searched all over Google and those English references already there were the only ones I could find. As for the three citations, they don't cover anything specific, they're just there because "the more references the better". ;) TheLeftorium 20:24, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

• There needs to be in the lead some statement as to why the series and this game is so popular, as in other video game lists.
• In the main setlist, one of the songs has a "(unplugged)" - what does this mean?
• In addition to custom songs, players of the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii versions will be able to download new licensed songs for the game. - this should be in past tense.
• What source is verifying the release dates for the DC?
• Why is the color for the column names different from the main setlist?
• Because this list has information that will happen in the future, a {{future}} template should be used.--S_RX 23:05, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
  • The popularity of the series is covered in the main game articles and hasn't been a part of the other GH songlists; I did note what reviewers thought of the setlist, however, to give this some mention of impact. The dates for DLC are confirmed with the references on the pack names. Given that there is no indefinite point where the DLC will stop becoming available, I don't know if the {{future}} tag is appropriate - the list is changing, but most of what is stated in the article is fixed. --MASEM 02:01, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
  • And missed one question: there is no specific information of why Nirvana's "About a Girl" is listed as (unplugged), but I can speculate this is the version from the famous "Nirvana Unplugged" show on MTV - I can't confirm that, however, so it simply is listed as it is in the game (though it should be inside the quotes). --MASEM 14:39, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
    • In response to the first reply, it does not matter, there needs to be some background to show notability of the series, and one way is to show it's popularity or a small sentence or two about the reception of the game itself or series.
    • Were my other technical questions resolved, just curious?S_RX 02:30, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
      • I added something here for the notability, but I still feel this is out of place on this list article as the series impact is covered in Guitar Hero, and the game itself in Guitar Hero World Tour. All the other technical points you mentioned were addressed. --MASEM 15:13, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

List of goaltenders who have scored a goal in a National Hockey League game

Did you know that only nine goaltenders have scored a goal in an NHL game? If you didn't, you didn't read the article. (Stolen from David Fuchs). Maxim_(talk) 03:16, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

• Comment The article was only created half an hour ago, maybe you should have waited a day or so and allowed some of the regular hockey editors to take a look at it. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 03:18, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. It is not stable as other users could possible make changes it to it or correct things, I recommend a copyedit in the prose and a check on tables before coming here, the list should have waited at least 36 hours before FLC.--S_RX 03:21, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't get why this is a valid comment. If the article has problems, then point out the problems. Whether it was created two minutes ago or a week ago, judge it on its own merits. Many of the lists I've made have practically no editors working in that area, and I'm the one bringing them forward. This simply isn't actionable. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 03:44, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

• Another comment The lead says six goalies got a goal by shooting the puck in the net, but there are only five on the list (although it's more than possible I made an error when I made some changes). -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 03:25, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
  • That would be my mistake, which I fixed. Maxim_(talk) 21:07, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Support Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs)—The article would have benfited greatly from a peer review, where most of the little things would have been addressed. However, since those issues were easy to deal with, I fixed most of them in this edit. I have a couple more things to ask: All issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:45, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

• "Martin Brodeur, known for his puckhandling skills" Sounds POV to me.
  • It's a very accepted fact that Brodeur is one of the best ever, perhaps the best ever, puckhandler; do a survey at WT:HOCKEY, and trust me, you'll get a lot of votes for Brodeur. ;-) Also, it's in the third para of his article too. Maxim_(talk) 21:07, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
• "Martin Brodeur's second goal, which was credited to him,"—Why is "which was credited to him" needed? Was his first goal not credited to him?
  • He didn't shoot the puck in; it was an own-goal and the last opposing player to touch it was Brodeur. The wording's a bit confusing I agree; what do you suggest? Maxim_(talk) 21:07, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
    • How about: "Martin Brodeur's second goal was actually an own goal by the opposing team; however, because Brodeur was the last opposing player to touch the puck, he received credit for the goal. It is the only game-winning goal scored by a goaltender." Dabomb87 (talk) 15:14, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
      • Done. Maxim_(talk) 15:37, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
• Refs 6, 7, and 8 (http://www.hockeygoalies.org/) deadlink, and what makes that site reliable?
  • The author cites his sources and he has some hockey background. See this about page. However, I've found better, stronger sources for those three ones, and I have replaced them. Maxim_(talk) 21:07, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
• "Evgeni Nabokov was the first European goaltender to score a goal." Needs a source (If it comes from the book, an inline citation). Dabomb87 (talk) 06:04, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
  • An inline cite is needed when it's an unusual/controversial or challenged fact; in this case, Nabokov was the first non-Canadian or US goaltender to score, as evidenced by the list, and Russia is in Europe, so I don't see the need for an inline citation.

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

Hope this helps. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 01:29, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

• • All fixed.—Maxim_(talk) 15:03, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Well done. The only thing that I would change is leaving no spaces between the names and symbols, but otherwise, I support. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 15:07, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

I tried with no space, but it looked cramped, so I rved. Thank you very much for your support. Maxim_(talk) 15:16, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

• Certainly. Have you tried superscripting the daggers (a la List of Philadelphia Phillies team records)? That helps with cramping a lot. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 15:19, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

• Looks better with the superscript. :-) Maxim_(talk) 15:25, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

• Comment You know, I liked it better with the seperate notes column because that way you could sort by who scored a goal and who was credited with one. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 22:43, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

 Done--Maxim_(talk) 23:19, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

• Support Comment: I have to agree with Dabomb87 on the possible POV in the Brodeur image with "known for his puckhandling skills". Although as hockey fans, we would almost all agree on this, the non-hockey fan would simply not know. I remember when I put List of Vancouver Canucks players up for FLC, I got a similar comment with Todd Bertuzzi and "Todd Bertuzzi became known as one of the NHL's premier power forwards". One of those things that doesn't hurt to include, but could hurt if left out. You could always just snag one of the references from the Brodeur article, as there are a few in there. Aside from that, I fixed the dab/dio issue with José Théodore...GoodDay would be so impressed :) – Nurmsook! ^talk... 03:05, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

 Done--Maxim_(talk) 23:19, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

One more thing, I think the key should be moved to before the table, like we have on most other FL articles. This would improve the flow, as the reader won't have to skip the table to get to the key, and then go back to the table. Instead, they would read the key first, then continue on to the table. – Nurmsook! ^talk... 17:50, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

LarRan moved it for some reason. I've a partial revert of that.--Maxim_(talk) 23:22, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

• Comment original author removed the {{when}} tags I added to sentences which need dates, rather than addressing the problem. Prose isn't great. Modest Genius ^talk 23:12, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

It's the list, there's no point in {{when}} tags, they mess up with the flow. I've asked Risker to go over the prose, although she is busy atm, this is not a huge article, so she'll probably handle within a few days.--Maxim_(talk) 23:19, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

• Yet another comment I'd like to see a bit added to the lead about why a goalie scoring is so rare and notable. Sure it's obvious to us, but it wouldn't hurt for those not familiar with hockey. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 00:54, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

• Done.--Maxim_(talk) 23:22, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

• Yes, now the hard part is framing the sentences so that they are not POV or ambiguous:
• "Scoring a goal into the opposing team's net is very challenging for goaltenders, since it must be scored into an empty net, six feet wide, from the other end of the rink, with sufficient trajectory and speed to beat the defenders. A goaltender cannot cross the centre red line, thus they cannot get close enough to the opposing goaltender to have a chance to score when the net is not empty." Issues:

• "very challenging" I understanding that it is hard to say why goaltenders' goals are rare without some slightly non-neutral language, so I will let "challenging" go. However, can we do away with "very"?
• "must be scored into an empty net"—The way this worded, it sounds like a rule that goaltenders can only score into an empty net.
• "centre red line, thus they cannot get close enough" Comma to semicolon, comma after thus. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:47, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

All fixed.--Maxim_(talk) 01:22, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

• There were nine number-one albums in 2005, including Barrio Fino by Daddy Yankee, which peaked at the top of the chart for 25 weeks, sold nearly 900,000 copies in the United States, reached number 26 on Billboard 200, was named Reggaeton Album of the Year at the 2005 Billboard Latin Music Awards,[2] and won a Latin Grammy Award for Best Urban Music Album. - wouldn't it be the Billboard 200?.

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

• I was not a part of your previous FLCs, so I realize your other lists passed without some of these issues being addressed.
• The column heading "Issue Date" confuses me. It's not the date of the albums release, which is what I first thought. Is that the date the Billboard list is issued? Maybe "Chart date"?.

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

Comments by SatyrTN

• The first instance of "cap" in the lede should be wikilinked
• I'd like to see the table sortable. Since the "rowspan" headers don't work for a sortable table, I recommend adding "Batting", "Bowling", and "Fielding" to the Key. You will need to make use of the {{sort}} template for the 100/50 and BB columns.
• BTW, the "100/50" column header isn't bold like the rest
• Wikilinking the header columns (Runs, Avg, Overs, Runs, Avg) is a bit strange, IMO. I would add them to the Key and wikilink there. The two "Runs" and "Avg" columns should probably be differentiated, as well.
• I Conditionally Support this candidate after some of the fixes above are taken care of. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 21:50, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Mostly done. The sorting issue is a tricky one to solve, and one that's cropped up on other lists. I've completely removed the top line of the table and now it sorts fine. I don't think the top line was necessary, but if anyone disagrees, it can be reinstated. Nev1 (talk) 14:07, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Can I recommend doing the Key like this? As for sorting, are the "100/50" and "BB" columns sorting correctly? I don't understand what those mean, so they may be fine - I'm just checking :) Also, the "HS" field isn't sortable and probably should be? Finally, you'll want to make use of {{sortname}} to sort the Name column by last, first. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 16:30, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

New key implemented. 100/50 and BB sort fine (although it's a shame about the dashes in BB). HS doesn't sort properly, the only way to do it would be to convert every highest score to three digits (ie: 3 would become 003 and 17 would become 017). I've played around with {{sortname}}, but I just can't get it to work, are you sure it can be used in tables, I've only ever seen it sorting categories. Nev1 (talk) 17:29, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

I've added {{sortname}} to the name column and added the sorting capability for the HS column. The HS column sorting automatically interprets numbers (so you don't need to worry about 325 coming before 37).

As an aside, the key still has "an innings that ended not out", which is grammatically incorrect. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 01:29, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Ah, thanks for fixing that (and somehow you got HS to sort properly!)

In cricket, innings is both plural and singular, so to say "an innings" is fine (eg: "he had a good innings"). Nev1 (talk) 01:32, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

List of Milwaukee Brewers managers

I am nominating this list to become a Featured List becuase I believe it meets all FL criteria. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 23:02, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Resolved review by SRX

Review by SRX (talk · contribs)/Oppose - fails to meet the standards of writing and their are faults with the table, fails FL cr 1-3,5

Prose

• The Milwaukee Brewers Major League Baseball franchise has employed 17 managers and 8 general managers (GMs) since its inception in Seattle, Washington as the Seattle Pilots in 1969. - this is the opening lead sentence. In other similar FL's, they state what division they play in, what stadium, where they are from. They don't go directly to the point of the list.
• Take my suggestions that I pointed out above and then place the prose about them being the Pilots and combine it with the second sentence.
• Buck Rodgers managed the team in 1981 when the Brewers won the second-half American League East Division title - link to this "half" division title?
• Rodgers and Harvey Kuenn managed the Brewers in 1982, leading them to win the American League pennant. - so two people managed, both were head managers? Or did one resign and then the other came in, if so that should be elaborated.
• Phil Garner won 563 games from 1992 to 1999, placing him first on the all-time wins list for Brewers managers. Very confusing at the end and sounds bias, so his 563 ranks him first on "what?"
• The manager with the highest winning percentage over a full season or more is Harvey Kuenn, whose .576 winning percentage is sixth on the all-time wins list for Brewers managers. - Get to the point, begin with Harvey Kuenn has the highest winning percentage with .576, which is sixth on the all-time wins list for Brewers managers. Also, how is it the highest if he is only sixth?
• The manager with the highest winning percentage over a full season or more is Harvey Kuenn, whose .576 winning percentage is sixth on the all-time wins list for Brewers managers. - the word "worst" is POV
• Lead needs to be expanded and better written, the first manager should be listed first, the current manager, and those with the record winning %. See current FLC, List of Tennessee Titans head coaches.

Tables

• What do the dashes in the # column mean?
• Source for general managers?
• Can it be elaborated in the prose the difference between the GM and the head manager?

Notes

• The awards need to be integrated as a row/column into the table, see the FLC I pointed out above.--S_RX 04:15, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

• Take a look now. Most of the lead was re-written with your suggestions in-mind. I'm not sure what you mean about bullet #3 (about the second-half title). All "Tables" comments were addressed. The way the notes/awards are indicated is standard for other FL of MLB managers. I see no need for this list to buck the trend. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 05:18, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

• Nope. Still has problems

• The beginning of the sentence states they are in the national league but of what the MLB or the AL?
• So where is the home stadium?
• Ken Macha, former manager of the Oakland Athletics is the team's current manager; he will manage his first Brewers game when the 2009 season begins. - this should go at the end of the paragraph, needs to be in chronological order. + comma after Athletics. Since his first game will be until 2009, I recommend adding a {{future}} template.
• The team's first manager was Joe Schultz. Buck Rodgers managed the team in 1981 when the Brewers won the American League second-half East Division title. - you need a transition. Wow, Shultz was the first manager, so what? Elaborate more on him, or transclude from there to the next sentence. In the second sentence, wikilink to that title?
• Still no explanation for the emdash in the tables under the "#" row.--S_RX 15:05, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

• Indicated Nat'l League of MLB & home stadium, fixed Macha, added {{future}}, worked on Schultz sentence, added em dash explanation to table key. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 16:50, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Final Comments

• Buck Rodgers managed the team in 1981 when the Brewers won the American League second-half East Division title. - I remember reviewing a list in this nature where there were half champions and it elaborated why they were half champs, can that be elaborated here?
• The ref for the GM's should be made into a General one since the same one verifies all of them, possibly into a separate row or indicated below the table.
• Also, seeing the size of the table, is there a way to place the GM table next to the Manager's table?--S_RX 18:34, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

• I added a bit about the 1981 Major League Baseball strike being the reason for the splist season. I removed the references column for the GMs, and put it under the "General" references section. I tried putting the tables next to each other, but (on my 1024x768 display in IE) the managers table was squeezed such that it became visually unpleasing. Also, the current layout is standard for other MLB manager FLs. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 22:08, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

• Weak Support - My review was addressed to meet WP:FL?, but I feel that the article should have been peer reviewed before coming here due to the many prose and misc. issues I pointed out above.--S_RX 00:53, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Comments - sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 17:58, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Resolved review by SRX

Comments --

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

• Done. - I added a sentence very similar to the one you suggested. I think the situation has been clarified. I'd love to add more pictures too, but free images just can't be found. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 00:53, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Comments (KV5)

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

Hope this helps. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 17:26, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

The O.C. (season 4)

I am listing this, as the last in the seasons set. It has completed it's recent peer review and I believe it meets the criteria. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 17:27, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Oppose

Resolved comments from Gary King (talk) 04:58, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

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

• "In an attempt at a new time-slot " – Why would it be an attempt if they actually did it? Should be something more like they "tested a new time slot".  Done
• "anymore" – "any more"; any more than what? please specify, even if implied
  •  On hold Matthew brought this at PR too. I originally had "anymore" but the automated peer review suggested that "any more" was BrE and "anymore" was the AmE version. I am not american so don't know, but would like further clarification and will go with consensus.
    • I think that PR suggestion is for a different use of "any more". It's for something like "He didn't go to the store anymore", not "he didn't get any more than he needed", which must be two separate words. Gary King (talk) 23:43, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
      •  Done, as usual you are correct. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 18:27, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
• "returned to Thursdays" – "returned to Thursday" – there is a "... of every week" that is implied here, that's why  Done
• ""core four" characters" – which four?  Done
• "however executive" – "however, executive"  Done
• "five disc" – "five-disc"  Done
• "The season was also made available to purchase" – "The season was also available"  Done
• "on the US Xbox Live Marketplace and the US iTunes Store for registered users" – "in the American versions of the Xbox Live Marketplace and the iTunes Store" – or something to that effect  Done
• "premiered anywhere on television" – "premiered on television"  Done
• "In the US" – "In the US,"  Done
• "available from October 26, 2006 at 3:01 a.m. ET" – "available from October 26, 2006 at 3:01 a.m. ET onwards" – or something like that  Done
• "In Canada the" – "In Canada, the"  Done
• "on terrestrial" – "on the terrestrial"  Done
• "CTV Television Network, CTV Broadband Network" – "CTV Television Network, CTV"
  • Comment, sentence restructured per point below so this no longer exists. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 18:27, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
• "allowed the episode to be streamed from 12:00 p.m. ET on October 30, 2006" – confusing. So, CTV allowed Warner to stream it? And, stream it where? On CTV's website? I thought Warner owned the program?"
  •  Done Hopefully clarified. Warner allowed CTV to stream it on the CTV Broadband Network.
• "8:30 p.m. (local time)." – there's no three letter timezone code to use here? It should be obvious which timezone this is in without clicking on the link.
  •  On hold The point is that there are three timezone codes to list here - AWST, ACST, and AEST. Programs do actually air in local time so if you lived in Perth it would be 8:30 p.m. AWST, whereas for someone who lived in Sydney it would have been shown at 8:30 p.m. AEST. I used local time as it seemed more appropriate than mentioning all three timezones. Please let me know if you disagree. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 18:27, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

The above issues are only examples from the lead; the rest of the article should be double-checked for similar issues. Gary King (talk) 19:04, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Diff Thanks for the review. I believe I have addressed all your comments. I will try and triple check for mistakes, but I seem to be exceptionally spotting them, as having written it, I just read what I think should be there. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 18:27, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

• "With Lost about to go enter a three-month hiatus it was hoped that a move for The O.C." – "go enter": "enter"; "was hoped" – change to active voice; who is hoping?  Done
• "season; however the " – "season. However, the "
  •  On hold I have been told in the past that "season. However, the" was wrong. See the second comment here. I don't know which version is correct, but am just providing reasoning for my choice. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 09:18, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
• "it's" – "its"  Done
• "the Xbox Live Marketplace and iTunes Store for registered users." – does "registered users" need to be specified? Does either store sell items to non-registered users?  Done
• "The fourth season was also broadcast outside of the United States." – I think I brought this up before, but I don't think this needs to be said. The paragraph can start with "In Canada" and people will realize that it's broadcast outside the US. The reader doesn't assume one way or the other that the show does or does not broadcast outside the US up to this point.  Done
• "the episode could be streamed " – "the episode was streamed "
  • ✗ Not done. I disagree with this one, was streamed seems to imply that people streamed the episode from 3:01 onwards. I don't know if people actually streamed the episode at that time. Unlike being broadcast on television it wasn't definately done at specific times, hence the "could be". Is that reasonable? Rambo's Revenge (talk) 09:18, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
• "the season premiered January" – "the season premiered on January"  Done
• "was first broadcast" – first? so it broadcast on other networks after? Perhaps say at the end of the sentence "and it broadcast on other networks aftewards" or something.  Done

Gary King (talk) 18:44, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

I have now addressed these points. Thanks for looking over this. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 09:18, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for doing a bit of copyediting, I have addressed the above issues and added a ref for the regular directors you marked as {{fact}}. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 16:52, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

The article still needs a lot of work. For example:

• "The fourth season of The O.C. commenced airing in the United States on November 2, 2006 in the United States, concluded on February 22, 2007, and consisted of sixteen episodes." – "The fourth season of The O.C. aired in the United States from November 2, 2006 to February 22, 2007 and consisted of sixteen episodes."

 Question: I don't understand how the current version is incorrect. This is also seems to be a standard opening in season FLs (e.g. The other seasons of The O.C. use it as does all Lost and Degrassi seasons). Rambo's Revenge (talk) 18:31, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

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

Annie Award for Best Animated Home Entertainment Production

After finishing Annie Award for Best Animated Video Game for the FLC contest, I wrote this up. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 07:40, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

• Comment I don't particularily like the formatting of the table. I think you've made it more cumbersome to read just so it could be sortable. There are some cases where sortability just doesn't work and this is one of those. I would prefer to see each year just have one row (using rowspan), that way it would be easier to see which were nominated in a certain year. Admittedly, the sorting is helpful, but I don't think it adds much here since no film can be nominated more than once. I would prefer to see it formatted more like this, with the result column removed and extra thick lines added at the bottom of each year to make things easier to see. -- Zombie Scorpion⁰⁴²² 19:48, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

• I disagree on the sorting part. The downsides to sorting only appears when you get too much redundancy (for instance, List of Nobel Laureates in Chemistry, in which I agreed with your assessment that the table shouldn't be sortable due to the excessive redundancy and mirrored at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Nobel Laureates in Economics), and here, the benefit to sorting (sort winners, studio, directors), outweighs the redundancy in having multiple year columns. That said, I added thicker lines to divide the years up. Is that sufficient? — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 23:09, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

• I don't see how that's necessary with the color. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 02:28, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

• Per WP:COLOR: Ensure that colour is not the only way used to convey important information. Especially, do not use coloured text unless its status is also indicated using another method such as italic emphasis or footnote labels. Otherwise, blind users or readers accessing Wikipedia through a printout or device without a colour screen will not receive that information.

• There's text clearly indicating what is meant in that cell. This line in WP:COLOR only applies in cases in which color is the only identifier. This is not the case. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 22:38, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
• (reply to SatyrTN) But in this case, the color is associated with text ("Nominee" or "Won Annie Award"). In other words, the color doesn't even need to be there, it is used for contrast. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:36, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

• The "Year" column needs to make use of the {{sort}} function so that sorting returns the list in the original order.

And go from there :)

New York Knicks seasons

With two FLs already under my belt, I'm coming back with another seasons list. This mostly follows the format of my previous lists, but has a few differences, most notably sortable tables.

• One of the Basketball Association of America's (BAA) 11 teams during its inaugural season, the Knicks won the league's first game, defeating the Toronto Huskies 68–66 on November 1, 1946. - link to BAA?
  • The BAA link redirects to NBA, so I added a link to the History section of the NBA article. That way, there aren't two straight NBA links in the lead. Giants2008 (17-14) 04:22, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
• The team's best opportunity to win a championship during this period came in the 1993–94 season, when it lost the NBA Finals to the Houston Rockets in seven games. - sounds POV, the beginning needs rewording, I suggest taking out "best opportunity" or reword that in a different way.
  • I did reword that. Giants2008 (17-14) 04:22, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
• Entering the 2008–09 season, the Knicks have not made the playoffs since 2004, when they were swept by the New Jersey Nets in four games. - to wordy, just say they lost versus "were swept"
  • Made the suggested change. Giants2008 (17-14) 04:22, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
• Why aren't the "Knicks seasons, conference, GB, and division made sortable?"--S_RX 00:46, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, the "Knicks seasons" column doesn't need to be sortable, as sorting the "season" column would do the same job. The "conference" and "division" columns don't need to be sortable as well because they have basically the same items in every row. (two items in the "division" column, to be accurate) I guess "GB" can be sortable, but it isn't that important.—Chris! _ct 02:21, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

I made the GB sortable. Since there is a disagreement over whether the other three should be sortable, I'll probably hold off on them for now. Giants2008 (17-14) 04:22, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Don't start the article like this, start with a contextual lead sentence: "The 2003 Atlantic hurricane season was an active Atlantic hurricane season with tropical activity before and after the official bounds of the season – the first such occurrence in 50 years." Do not bold. Move the sentence describing the timeline to the end of the first paragraph.

• 1885-1886, sorting by season puts the replay before the original match and should not do so
  • Fixed
• 1922-1923, attendence is 126,047 (official), does this mean all other attendences are estimates?
  • No, all figures are official, but the official figure for 1923 does not reflect the actual number of spectators present, which may have been anywhere up to 300,000 - see 1923 FA Cup Final for the full story. I'm open to suggestions of a better way to express this......
    • I've now re-done that bit, what do you think.....?
      • (edit conflict) Good I was just suggesting when I got and edit conflict. I would also suggest in the note put that all three of these numbers can be ref'd by "borrowing" the refs from the 1923 FA Cup Final article.
      • Additionally you may want to use ^{[[#fn a|a]]} and then *{{fnb|a}} at the bottom, to make the note linkable.
        • Done
• IMO † should be next to the score not the team, especially considering all the games won on penalties went to extra time, then you can use one symbol instead of two.
  • Changed
• For the italics, it might be worth mentioning when the football league formed (1888) and/or linking "Football League".
  • Done
• In the references works and publishers should be wikilinked where possible. For example
  • Current ref 1 - link The Independent as the work, the publisher would be Independent News & Media
  • In current ref 5, BBC Sport should be linked, and it is the work not the publisher. It would be work=[[BBC Sport]]|publisher=[[BBC]].
  • There are more like these.
    • All done, I think
      • Ref 13 & 16 should be BBC Sport, BBC too.
        • Done
• The reference styles should be consistent. The books listed use a SURNAME, FORNAME style whereas the webpages are displayed as FORNAME SURNAME. In {{cite web}} try using first= and last= instead of author=.
  • All done, I think
• It might be nice to use colours as well as symbols for finals one by extra time or replays.
  • Done

  • Done
• Prefer just "Queens Park reached the final..." to "had reached" (might just be matter of taste)

• Finals. The competition did take place during the First World War: it ran to completion in 1914–15.
  • Done
• When the table is sorted anything other than chronologically, you can't tell what year the Replay lines apply to. FL criterion 4 says "includes—where helpful—section headings and table sort facilities"; are you sure this is helpful?
  • I only made the table sortable because someone said at the PR that FLs now had to be sortable (and I didn't double check to confirm this). I'll have a think about whether I should take the sorting off......
    • I've changed it now - what do you think? Feel free to tell me if it looks rubbish :-)
      • Well, er...;-) No, it's fine; if people want tables to be sortable, they have to accept they're going to be bright blue and not quite as pretty as they probably would be without the sorting. You'll have to link the seasons (for the same reason the venue is linked every time).
        • All seasons now linked (I'd forgotten about that.....)
• It's disconcerting that adding a symbol to a scoreline pushes the scoreline out of alignment (not sure what could be done about it, but it's still disconcerting)
  • As you say, I'm not sure what can be done about this - something additional to just the colour of the cell has to be used, per accessibility guidelines.....
• The annual FA Cup articles have now been renamed to use the endash separator rather than hyphen, so at some point it'd be good to avoid the redirects (not worth going in specially just for that, though)
  • Might do this if I get bored :-)
• References. Probably picky, but in the BBC references, BBC Sport should be the publisher, and the work (if specified, though I wouldn't) would be BBC Sport website. BBC Sport is a division of the BBC, not a work published by it.
  • Done
• And I'm impressed that you've bothered with the publishers for major newspapers, though there's no need. The documentation of {{Cite news}} says adding the publisher is "Not necessary for major publications like The New York Times, but may add credibility for local papers that are part of a family of publications ..."
  • Another editor said the publisher needed to be added, I'm not fussed either way.....

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

List of Marmalade Boy chapters

previous FLC (21:59, 24 May 2008)

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

List of Tennessee Titans head coaches

This is my third list for the FLC Contest. Gary King (talk) 18:12, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Resolved review from SRX

Review by SRX (talk · contribs)

Prose

• For two seasons, the team was known as the Tennessee Oilers before changing its name to Titans in 1999. - Wouldn't it be correct to say the Titans?
• California-native Jeff Fisher is the current head coach of the Titans, and is the 15th person to serve in the position. - What's so notable of him being from California?
• The team's winningest coach is Lou Rymkus with a win percentage of .611. - is Winningest a dictionary word? (I am using Firefox, which has a spelling corrections and "winningest" isn't one of them.) + It would be better stated as The team's winningest coach is Lou Rymkus, who has a win percentage of .611.
• Bill Peterson is the team's least winningest coach with a win percentage of .053. - Check that word.
• Rymkus and Wally Lemm have both won the UPI NFL Coach of the Year award - hmm, since Lemm won that award, he must have done something notable, can it be mentioned?

Notes

• The Titans were known as the Tennessee Oilers from 1997 to 1998 before being renamed to the Tennessee Titans. - Source?

References

• Is pro-football reference a reliable source? Just wondering as I have never seen it used before, is it like the Baseball-reference?--S_RX 21:35, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

• In the key, there are spaces around the en dash, but in the heading of the actual list they are unspaced.
• What type of source is current reference #4 ("Woody Paige" (2005-04-11).)? Is it a book, newspaper, magazine, etc? It needs to be properly formatted like the others.
• I wouldn't object to supporting the article over this, but it might be more aesthetically pleasing if you used {{note label}} and {{ref label}} for the footnote. You can see how this is used in another FLC: List of Indianapolis Colts head coaches. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 23:26, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
• One more thing: The year links for Lou Rymkus and Jeff Fisher don't match the text. I.e., it says 1961, but links to 1962; Fisher's says 1994, but links to 1997. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 23:36, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

• "Rhymkus"—Typo.

• UPI NFL Coach of the Year is overlinked in the table.
• Pro-football-reference.com is not the publisher, it is the work. Sports Reference LLC is the publisher.
• "The Tennessee Titans are a professional American football team based in Nashville, Tennessee. It is a member of the South Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL)." Move these sentences to the beginning of the lead. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:10, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

All done. The "it" refers to the organization, not the individuals in it. "Wally Lemm briefly coached the team and led it to nine straight victories." seems fine to me; it's straightforward, and only uses an "and" to link the two ideas together, so it's not forming any conclusions. Gary King (talk) 21:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Instead of completely removing "Pro-football-reference.com.", why don't you just reinsert it under the work= field? Also, ref 3 needs a publication date. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:38, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Comments from Killervogel5

• In the key, "Loses"→"Losses"
• In the key, you refer to an en-dash as meaning returning to coach, yet it is also used to mean a zero or n/a in the playoffs. First of all, em-dashes are more appropriately used for both of these features in the list, and second, the best thing to do would be to follow the example at List of Philadelphia Phillies managers, etc., wherein that notation is in a note at the end of the list.
• In the key, Win – Loss does not need to be spaced; en-dashes are used to indicate disjunction but spaced en-dashes serve the same function as em-dashes, which is inappropriate for that usage.
• Sports Reference in the references should be Sports Reference LLC.

Weak Oppose

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

• "The Oilers won two AFL championships before joining the NFL as part of the AFL-NFL merger." - The table only has one.

Done. I don't want to link lone years. Gary King (talk) 04:02, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't get what you mean, and why not. You linked the years on the table, so you could maybe link the years in the prose. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 06:09, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Because they don't make it clear what they link to. It's the visual message that it sends, in that the reader won't know where it leads to. If, say, the text I linked was "the 2000 NFL season", however, then that would make sense, but not "And then he coached the team in 2000". Gary King (talk) 15:40, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

List of StarCraft media

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

Support - One question, shouldn't StarCraft be linked to StarCraft (series) in the lead? --TheLeftorium 18:15, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Aye, it probably should be, I don't know why it was delinked. Its linked now. -- Sabre (talk) 18:18, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

• Comment Is there a reason that the toys aren't included in this list? Pie is good ^{(Apple is the best)} 21:44, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

• Two reasons mainly. Its firstly exceptionally difficult to solidly verify the toys and their details to reliable sources (this is about as good as it gets, and there's not much to really say), and the comparable featured lists that this one was based on (List of Final Fantasy media, List of Halo media) don't list toys and that sort of stuff either. I suppose its somewhat debatable to what extent toys fall under "media" as well. I've put in mention of the existance of toys in the intro, but I think that due to a lack of reliable sources to actually fully elaborate on details, individual list entries aren't necessary. -- Sabre (talk) 21:59, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

• Support - I actually expected this list to show up here sooner or later. But I still got a few things.

• "The series has several games which carry the main story arc: StarCraft, StarCraft: Brood War, and StarCraft II." Brood War is not a game. Further down in the lead you get it right, but it's still an inaccuracy that I'd like to see avoided.
• Both Blizzard Entertainment and Battle.net are mentioned and linked in the lead. Why create a "See also" section only for them? -- Goodraise (talk) 18:09, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Dealt with both issues. -- Sabre (talk) 19:12, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

• For the printed media I'd find it appropriate to list the ISBNs. -- Goodraise (talk) 08:41, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

• Done, except for where ISBN isn't valid/yet made known. -- Sabre (talk) 14:45, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

• Ye, looks good. Though personally, I liked the "Media type" column on the outer right. -- Goodraise (talk) 14:55, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

• Alrighty then, I switched them around. -- Sabre (talk) 14:59, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Comments -

• What makes the following reliable sources?
  • http://index.rpg.net/display-entry.phtml?mainid=921
  • http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/catalog/soundtrackdetail.php?movieid=71169
  • http://www.en.game-ost.ru/info.php?id=450
  • http://www.blizzplanet.com/
• Current ref 49 (StarCraft the Dark Templar...) is lacking a publisher.

Otherwise sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 17:53, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

http://index.rpg.net/display-entry.phtml?mainid=921 has been removed. Ref 49 has had the publisher field added. As for Blizzplanet, its basically a small-time Blizzard-exclusive news and fansite, see their about page. I know fansite usage is generally frowned upon, but Blizzard themselves and Blizzard-related people tend to treat as a reputable place, having conducted quite a portfolio of interviews with Blizzard employees and Blizzard authors. I've replaced two usages with an IGN source, but I think it just about meets the criteria for a reliable source when no others are available. I'll try to find some better references for the soundtrack sources, but I'll warn you that trying to find the information for the first soundtrack is rather difficult - it seems to have been sold more for the Korean market. It doesn't seem to be sold anymore, and Blizzard's store isn't held in the web archive to get a primary reference for it. I'll try to find some better references for the two soundtrack sources, but I'll warn you that trying to find the information for that is rather difficult. It doesn't seem to be sold anymore, and Blizzard's store isn't held in the web archive to get a primary reference for it. I'll remove http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/catalog/soundtrackdetail.php?movieid=71169, as that really doesn't seem too reliable, but I think that http://www.en.game-ost.ru/info.php?id=450 may be borderline justifiable as a reliable source based on the willingness of some of the industry's composers to conduct interviews with them. Its very much scrapings at the bottom of the barrel stuff, most searches show up more for illegal torrent downloads than potentially usable source for it.-- Sabre (talk) 19:12, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

I haven't been able to find anything that might actually count as a more reliable source, so it looks like game-ost.ru is as good as it gets. I realise its not an ideal situation, but as I stated above, it should just about qualify as a reliable source for the purpose assigned to it in the article - ie, showing that the soundtrack in question existed. Any more developed usage than that, such as in creation and critical reception, etc, should probably be avoided. -- Sabre (talk) 23:32, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Chief Justice of the Common Pleas

Seems to pass all the FL criterion. Prose is fine, references are good and list is complete and bluelinked. I used List of Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States as a template for the format on the advice of User:Choess, who should probably get a co-credit if this goes through with the amount of cleaning up he did of this article and the articles of the Chief Justices themselves. Ironholds (talk) 23:35, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Comments - sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 17:39, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

• Question: are there any more pictures of Chief Justices available to use? The top one is good, but it would be nice to have some going down the table. – How do you turn this on (talk) 18:26, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

  A few more, yes; are you thinking some kind of system like the List of Nobel Laureates in Literature? I'd considered it, but there (unfortunately) aren't enough to make it look halfway decent. I could probably justify nicking them from the National Portrait Gallery under the "we can't get anything anywhere else you scat-munching bitches" rationale (as you can see I'm not a fan of the NPG). Ironholds (talk) 18:46, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

  Me neither actually :-) I was actually thinking along the lines of this, meaning you only need a few images. – How do you turn this on (talk) 18:49, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

  Ooh, pretty! Image, funfact, Image, funfact.... Ironholds (talk) 18:54, 6 November 2008 (UTC).

• More questions/comments: Why do some of the CJs have no corresponding number? Indeed, why are they numbered at all? Where was the table sourced from - there's not a single citation! You've also given exact dates for date of birth/death – why not for the terms too? Born/died may be better in two columns as well. – How do you turn this on (talk) 18:42, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

  You can see a source in the General Bibiliography for the list; it was put it there or reference it on every single entry. Some of the CJ's aren't numbered because they are repeat services; a justice who served as say, number 32, left and then came back shouldn't really be numbered as number 34. In many cases I don't have exact dates for the service period, I'll try to look that up. Ironholds (talk) 18:46, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

  I suggest then that numbers are removed – unless they are very important? If the source is in the bibliography, it needs to be moved to the references section, and cited to. – How do you turn this on (talk) 18:49, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

  Fair enough on the first point. You want me to reference the article on every entry?Ironholds (talk) 18:50, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

  Yes, is that a problem? If it's the same thing sourcing everything, just put a reference at the top or something. – How do you turn this on (talk) 18:52, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

  No, I'm just worried that the single list reference at the bottom is going to look rather blue, as it were. Ironholds (talk) 18:53, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

  It'll be fine. If not, it can always be reverted. – How do you turn this on (talk) 19:00, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

• Another point: links only need linking once, especially in the table. For example, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal and Chief Justice of the King's Bench are linked at least once in the table, and it's not necessary. There are others too. – How do you turn this on (talk) 19:00, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Alrighty, done that. I'll get on with the images tomorrow if I have time. Ironholds (talk) 20:46, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
    • I've done the images, although there aren't really enough in my opinion; any other points? Ironholds (talk) 22:55, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs)

• "The position of Chief Justice was not initially an appointment"-->Initially, the position of Chief Justice was not an appointment...
• "One would become more senior and respected than his peers" How does one become more senior when they grow older at the same rate as everyone else?
• "from then onwards" Comma after this phrase also.
• "In 1875 the court was reduced to a division of the High Court of Justice, with Alexander Cockburn serving as the first Chief Justice."-->In 1875, the court was reduced to a division of the High Court of Justice; Alexander Cockburn served as the first Chief Justice.
• "The court was dissolved as a body in 1880 when the functions" Comma after 1880.
• "with John Coleridge serving as the first Chief Justice of a fully unified High Court" Make this phrase a separate sentence.
• In the table, full date ranges should have spaced en dashes: "26 May 1814–1 November 1873"-->26 May 1814 – 1 November 1873".
• Forgive my stupidity, but in the first inline citation, what does "ibid" stand for? Dabomb87 (talk) 01:47, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Normally it means a reference to a text previously mentioned; so "Mackay ibid 51", for example, would be "the same Mackay text previously mentioned, just on page 51"; it was a leftover from when I copied the reference over from the Court of Common Pleas article. Ironholds (talk) 15:44, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Done all of Dabomb's concerns. Ironholds (talk) 22:26, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Only full date ranges should have spaced en dashes, not anything else (26 May 1814 – 1 November 1873, but 1309–1326). Dabomb87 (talk) 22:31, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Woops, sorry! I'll doeth that now. Ironholds (talk) 06:24, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Alright, I'm doing that. What about mixed ones? Where I have a complete date for the appointment but not for the removal, for example. Ironholds (talk) 17:57, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

MOSDASH says: "Spacing: All disjunctive en dashes are unspaced, except when there is a space within either one or both of the items (the New York – Sydney flight; the New Zealand – South Africa grand final; July 3, 1888 – August 18, 1940, but July–August 1940)." So yes, the ones which have one complete date and the other is just a year should still have a space. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:25, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Excellent, ta. I'm almost done. Ironholds (talk) 22:35, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Alright, that seems to be done; if I've missed any, poke me. Any other points? Ironholds (talk) 22:55, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

• One more thing: Only image captions that are complete sentences should have full stops (periods) at the end. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:22, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Alrighty, changed; any other bits? Ironholds (talk) 23:30, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Comments from SatyrTN

• Some copyediting is needed:

As such the Chief Justice was one of the highest judicial officials in England,

• Add a comma after "such"

behind only the Lord High Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice of the King's (or Queen's) Bench.Initially, the position of Chief Justice was not an appointment;

• Space before "Initially", and the comma after "Initially" needs to go.

of the justices serving in the court, one would become more respected than his peers, and was therefore considered the "chief" justice. The position was formalised in 1272 with the raising of Sir Gilbert of Preston to Chief Justice, and from then on, it was considered a formally appointed role similar to the positions of Chief Justice of the King's Bench and Chief Baron of the Exchequer.

• The comma after "and from then on" is unnecessary
• There are two wikilinks - "Lord Chief Justice of the King's (or Queen's) Bench" and "Chief Justice of the King's Bench" - that go to the same place, and both are redirects. This is confusing and maybe even misleading.

• The table should be sortable, with the last column unsorted. You will need to use {{sort}} for the dates.

  Done all that, but after much previewing and fooling about I can't get the sorting right. Could someone help me out? Ironholds (talk) 10:28, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

• Thanks for the suggestion. I went on a quest for images for another Sounds list, but never got around to adding the applicable ones to this list. There are now 4 additional player images. I would have added more, but I wanted to keep images in the appropriate sections; spacing was also an issue. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 00:46, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

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

• "(slightly more than €1 million, or US$1.4 million)" Source?
• I am concerned about the use of Encyclopædia Britannica, a tertiary source, to source Wikipedia, another tertiary source.
  • it's not used as a main source. Basically, it's just included because in the past I've had some people complain about having an article rely entirely on one source (especially when it's an official source), so if anyone wants confirmation, there it is.
• "In 2008, the prize was awarded Makoto Kobayashi, Toshihide Maskawa and Yoichiro Nambu " Missing a word.
  • Done.
• Random image check: Image:Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1845--1923).jpg needs an author and date, Image:Erwin Schrödinger.jpg has an obsolete tag, I think Image:Ketterle.jpg. Have you recruited an experienced image reviewer to confirm that the images check out?
  • Done.
• "William Lawrence Bragg is the youngest ever Nobel Laureate, he won the prize in 1915 at the age of 25." Semicolon instead of comma.
  • Done.
• "John Bardeen is the only laureate to win the prize twice, in 1956 and 1972."-->John Bardeen is the only laureate to win the prize twice, in 1956 and 1972.

Sorry for the delay, but the literature list kept me busy. First set:

• Image:Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1845--1923).jpg - missing source, date, author, making license invalid
• Image:Pierre Curie (crop).png - missing date, author, making license invalid
• Image:Albert Abraham Michelson2.jpg - just because it's on other encyclopedias does not prove the license
• Image:G lippmann.jpg - without author, can't use pd-70
• Image:Ferdinand Braun.jpg - same with this one

--Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^(talk) 03:08, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

The first batch have all been removed. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 15:32, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

• Image:Johannes_Diderik_van_der_Waals.jpg - wrong license, might be PD-1923 but not PD-old
  • Fixed.
• Image:Charles Glover Barkla.jpg - licensed under GFDL and claimed PD; no author, so PD-old not proper
• Image:Charles Édouard Guillaume.jpg - no source or author; god-awful image anyhow

--Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^(talk) 03:55, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Second batch is done. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 16:06, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

• Image:Niels Bohr.jpg could be cleaned up via a template, and should have PD-US in addition to the EU tag. Like this one (although that might need EU tag).
  • Done.
• Image:Niels BohrUpOwenWillansRichardsonDownSolvay1927.JPG - god, did Bohr ever change his expression?
  • Apparantly not, is there a problem with the image?
• Image:Broglie Big.jpg - can't use PD-old without an author... another tag accounting for anon author would work, I suppose.
  • What kind of template?
• Image:CVRaman.jpg - using a fair use image of a dead person is shaky in general, but using it in a list as decoration is definitely so. Remove.
  • Wow, how did I miss that? It was not put in intentionally. Removed.
• Image:180px-Werner Heisenberg.jpg - same as above.
  • Same as above. Replaced.
• Image:Erwin Schrödinger.jpg - needs more specific PD tag.
  • Like?
• Image:Chadwick.jpg lacks source, date, and author info
  • Removed.
• Image:Carl anderson.1937.jpg - page needs cleanup, and explanation of what organization took the photo (author).
• Image:Enrico Fermi 1943-49.jpg] - what's with the years after his death? Also, bad tag!
  • Done.
• Image:Isidor Isaac Rabi.jpg - date and author?
  • Removed.
• Image:Wolfgang Pauli2.jpg - missing verifiable source for license
  • Removed.
• Image:Blackett-large.jpg - real author and reason for PD?
  • Removed.

Also, as a general comment, if any of the above licenses are invalid, please mark them as copyvios on Commons so that they're gotten rid of for good. I like everything tidy :) --Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^(talk) 18:32, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

• Many Laureates do not have images by their names, but most of their respective articles do. I would like to see an image by every person. If this is accomplished then I will fully support. Reywas92^Talk 01:30, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
  • I would love for every row to have an image too, but there are two main problems:
    • Any images would have to be free use images (several of the ones you've seen have likely been fair use.
    • Many of the free images out there have outdated tags, and incomplete licensing information and thus can not be used.
  • The lack of images is not due to negligence on my part, I went through every page and added whatever free image I could find. The only way I might have missed any is if they are not on the Laureate's page. If there are any free images with proper licensing out there that I have missed, then by all means please add them. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 01:33, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

• I'm a bit uncomfortable with the "Reason" column having each line start with three different things, either "for", "For", or "[for]". I understand the third one, but not why the others are different.
  • Each quotation is a copy of the Nobel website. Most of them start out with "for", but some don't, so for uniformity, [for] was added. As for the capitalization, I can go through and fix that. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 04:13, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much. Working on the tables now. Jclemens (talk) 04:05, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

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

I have increased the length of all summaries to two or more lines, and I have cleared up any vague sentences. Are the summaries fine now? Corn.u.co.pia / Disc.us.sion 12:56, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

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

Comments from Killervogel5

I've reviewed this list (mostly because my girlfriend would be horrified if I didn't, she's a huge fan) in its entirety, only some little things to fix.

• Section headers (year ranges) should use en-dashes instead of hyphens. Done
• In the lead, correct the following: "The second season decreased to an average of 2.3 million viewers, however it included the series' highest rated episode with 3.6 million viewers."→"The second season decreased to an average of 2.3 million viewers; however, it included the series' highest rated episode with 3.6 million viewers." Done
• "high-school"→"high school" Done
• "The CW President"→president Done

Otherwise, very well done, well-constructed and well-organized. This list meets the criteria and is definitely worthy of promotion. Cheers. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 23:16, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

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

When/If all seasons get articles though, it can/should be reconsidered if each season intro in this LoE really needs to be this long (I am fine with this now as this LoE also serves as a season overview beyond its LoE purpose). – sgeureka ^t•c 08:26, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Resolved review by SRX

Review by SrX

• Rage Against the Machine is a Los Angeles-based band formed in 1991 by Zack de la Rocha, Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk. - it should state in parenthesis who plays what in the band.
  • Don't added these details before, because I thought someone would ask me to remove them.
• The band is noted for its blend of rap, heavy metal, punk and funk as well as its revolutionary politics and lyrics. - how about The band is noted for it's blend of rap, heavy metal, punk, and funk; it is also known for it's revolutionary politics and lyrics.
  • Reworded.
• The full-length spawned the singles "Killing in the Name", "Freedom", "Bombtrack" and "Bullet in the Head". - full-length? Was the self named album full length, if so it should be noted before this sentence.
• Five singles were released from the album, the most successful being "Bulls on Parade". - how is "Bulls of Parade" most successful? Should be stated and sourced.
  • I removed the two sentences, even with references, sounds very strange and not add anything to in the text.
• Tables look fine, all publishers in the refs that can be linked need to be wikilinked.--S_RX 21:22, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
  • Added only on the first occurrence. Cannibaloki 01:24, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

• In the lead, "Rolling star" → "Rolling Star" and "ALONES" → "Alones": per WP:MOS-JA#Capitalization of words in Roman script, WP:MOS-JA#Titles of books, CDs, movies, etc., and related guidelines, titles should use English title casing, and not only an initial cap or all caps.

List of Philadelphia Phillies team records

previous FLC (07:25, 17 September 2008)

As before, I am nominating this list because:

1. I believe it meets the FL criteria.
2. it is a unique list and a unique topic.
3. this list could be a guide for others wishing to create lists of this type.

Because of its unique nature, this list was peer reviewed before nomination. To read the reviewers' input, please go here. In addition, this article has a previous FLC nomination, archived above. In response to the concerns which I was not able to deal with 1 month ago due to moving, I have removed sort facilities from this article because they seem to be more of a hindrance than a help. It would be sorting apples and oranges anyway at this point. Thanks in advance! KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 15:16, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

• It looks great, but I'd really like to see some sorting. It would be nice to be able to sort so you could quickly see how many records are held by the same player, how many records were set in the same year, etc. All you'd need to do is take out the reference row and convert it to a short sentence with a citation at the top of the section. Or, you could just put the citation in the table header by "Statistic" or "Record".-NatureBoyMD (talk) 23:48, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

• I'll take a look at it, but to be honest, I doubt my ability to get it right. Somebody explained the sortname template to me last time, but I still don't understand it. Apparently using the MLBY template screws something up, so that's going to require a huge amount of recoding. There's also the issue of the career tables; what year do they get sorted by!? I don't mind taking out the colspans, not a problem at all, but there are lots of other issues to be considered. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 13:52, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

• You might be interested in looking at another current FLC: Nashville Sounds team records. There, I've got career record years sorted by the player's first season. Sorting by years there probably isn't as important as it would be in the other tables. You might want to replace the MLBY template with the hardcoded [[YYYY in baseball|YYYY]]; it would be a chore, but I see it as a relatively easy fix. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 17:00, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Actually it would have to be changed to [[YYYY Major League Baseball season|YYYY]], but I haven't been able to find any problems with the sorting using MLBY yet. It was mentioned to me in the previous FLC. I will take a look at it tomorrow evening (I won't have time before then because of plans tonight) and see what I can do. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 18:42, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

• "directed by eleven different directors."
• "While The Office was mainly filmed on a studio set at Valley Center Studios..." "While"-->Although.
• The last paragraph of the Production section does not flow well.

• "pop culture obsessed" hyphenate "pop-culture"
• "The fourth season premiere "Fun Run" received a 5.1/12" Is this referring to the share?
• "While the episode "Job Fair" received the lowest number of viewers for the season, at 7.2 million,[31] it and the episode following it, the season finale "Goodbye Toby" both" Comma after "Toby".

1. Shouldn't "season" be capitalized in the title?

   I don't thinks so but I might be wrong. All the other season lists I've seen are uncapitalized. Nergaal (talk) 01:32, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

2. Is it possible to get references in for each episode?

   That should not be necessary since (1) the plots don't require refs, and (2) all the episodes articles in this list are allready GAs, which means they are already adequately referenced, and those refs are found in their respective articles. Nergaal (talk) 01:32, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

3. Is it possible to bold "fourth season" in the lead?

   One of the previous reviewers specifically asked to remove the bloding. Nergaal (talk) 01:32, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

4. Is Reference 5 a reliable source? I don't believe, personally that it is.

   Nice spotting there! I switched it with the official site. Nergaal (talk) 01:42, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

5. De-bold the episode names in the chart - Bold blue links violate MOS and policy I think.

   I don't think this should be an issue since the table uses the same template as any other FL about seasons; this means that all the other similar FLs out there have the same issue. Nergaal (talk) 01:32, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

I will support when things are solved. Good luck.Mitch32^(UP) 22:16, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Comments from SatyrTN

• This looks like a mashup of a list and an article. The paragraphs of text are longer than the actual list itself. Are the first three sections (Production, Cast, and Reception) specific to the season? I believe those sections are overwhelming the actual Episode List. Season 3 has half as much lede text as list, Season 2 and Season 1 seem to suffer the same as this one. I recognize that all three of those reached FL status, but IMO that's a shame :)

Let's see "The fourth season premiere "Fun Run" received a 5.1/12 share in the Nielsen Ratings among viewers aged 18 to 49..." Your are right it refers to a completely different subject. Nergaal (talk) 00:02, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

• The two columns "Directors" and "Writer(s)" - please pick one format or the other.

That was typo. Nergaal (talk) 00:02, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

• The "Notes" section is missing, denoting what "‡" and "†" mean.

This shows how much attention you actually paid while reading the article. Go check it again and maybe you will find it this time. Nergaal (talk) 00:02, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

• I know I'll be a lone wolf here, but even though this is well written and comprehensive, and even though the list itself is in great shape, I can't support what seems to me to be more of an article than a list.

Do you seriously believe that anybody at the FAC will accept the table as a part of an FA?? Nergaal (talk) 00:02, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 22:18, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

• Comment - I am actually confused. I don't really understand the opinion of the above oppose. The user states that the list is more of an article, but how about these FL's: Lost (season 4), 30 Rock (season 2) and The O.C. (season 3)? They too have information other than the list. I am also working on a season list which is very similar to this one, and I would hate really dislike it if someone opposed it for having to much information. After all, isn't that a good thing? Corn.u.co.pia / Disc.us.sion 00:38, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
  • And I'm sorry if I'm sounding rude or harsh, it's just that I'm confused. :-) Corn.u.co.pia / Disc.us.sion 00:39, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
    • As Cornucopia pointed out, this page matches the typical list format of the season pages. There is only one season article to my knowledge that is FA (Smallville (season 1)), and if you compare that page to this page you get a stark difference in format and information. This page, which includes something that I generally don't agree with or think is necesssary, takes things that could easily be presented in list format and puts them in sentences. In other words, when you read stuff like "Production", what you really find is a list of the people and studios involved in making the show (mainly that first paragraph). One thing I mentioned to Cornucopia on their talk page is the reusing of information from page to page. Why do we need to introduce the same series regulars with such detail on every Office related page? This is a daughter article of a larger parent article, and the parent article should be identifying characters. Anyone coming to season four's page is likely to know who the characters are. Unless the characters are new this season, the section is really unnecessary and seems to be used to bloat the page's size. Lastly, why are the episodes the last thing on the page? The page is about these episodes, so it would beg the idea that they should be first. I don't know why there was a restructing of season pages to have the episodes listed last, but it seems counterproductive to the concept of what the page is about (and that is the episodes of this season).  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 04:01, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
      • I mostly agree with Bignole here, although I'm struggling to see what the thing is that he finds unnecessary. This is a list. The "prose" could easily be presented in list format, it just isn't. As for putting the actual list of episodes first, I haven't seen that in any FL, only in the Smallville FA. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 16:17, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
        • What I find to be unnecessary is the repetative issuing of information in each of the pages (and sometimes within the page itself). Do I need to know there were 11 different directors that worked this season (even listing them out), when all I have to do is scroll down and count for myself? It seems like we're treating the reader like an invalid that cannot discern particular information for themselves. Does the reader need a reminder of who the same series regulars have been for four seasons? Stating who is a series regular can be done in the lead. The detail about who they are is covered in multiple pages that act as a parent to this one. Why are we repeating information from the main article about where the show is filmed? So much information is being repeated over and over again on each page, it's unnecessary. Unless there is something special about this season, there is no need to repeat yourself. The first two paragraphs of "Production" are repititious to the primary article, and that is what I'm calling "unnecessary". The Writers' Strike stuff is good, and should be kept most definitely. It's the stuff before that that is needless. If someone is reading each of the season pages, why would they want read the same stuff over and over again each time they move on to the next page.
        • As for the format of the page. As I said, I don't know why editors started putting the episode table at the bottom, it makes no sense when the page is supposed to be about the episodes of this season. Once it started it seemed to become an epidemic because more editors wanted to get season articles created and to FL so they just followed suit with what the first one did.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 05:58, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
          • One of the main issues with this would be an ever-divided opinion on what is "Comprehensive", as loosely defined by the FL criteria. Because of the many FLs that include wide sections of prose on cast and production, many would believe that removing these would prevent the article from being Comprehensive. I must say that I follow this opinion also. Mastrchf (^t/_c) 13:12, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
            • It is comprehensive for the season that you are trying to attain, not comprehensive for the entire show. Comprehensive means "covers all major aspects", but that isn't the same as "repeats the same information on 5 pages". It's fluff, that's what it is. Why people feel the need to add "fluff" to pages is beyond me. What is relevant and comprehensive to season four of this topic is the reception of the topic, what the topic is about, and if there were any changes during this season. Restating the same tired information over and over again has nothing to do with comprehensiveness of season four of this show. You're attributing generalized information about the show to this specific season, and you shouldn't be doing that. Articles should be comprehensive but succinct.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 22:01, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
              • Unfortunately, I'm quite sure most do not treat the season pages as articles of a series. I feel that it's to the ease of the reader to keep each of the sections in, and then let the reader select what they wish to or don't wish to read. I understand completely what you mean, and I too feel that it can be a bit repetitive, but It's not as if the reader is "forced" to read any part. Mastrchf (^t/_c) 22:34, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
• Question: of all 4 of you guys commenting here, mind voting pro or against the present state of the list? Nergaal (talk) 16:54, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Opinion has not been decided. FLs, just like FAs, are discussions and not votes.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 22:01, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

List of awards and nominations received by Radiohead

Radiohead is one of my favorite contemporary bands :) Gary King (talk) 15:42, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Addressed Review by SrX

Review by SRX (talk · contribs)

• They met while attending Abingdon School, a boys-only public school in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. - Abingdon is pipelinked just to Abingdon, just link the whole thing, "Abingdon, Oxfordshire"
• The band have received five BRIT Award nominations but has yet to win one. - comma after nominations.
• Some of the publishers need to be linked and spelled out entirely.--S_RX 21:14, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

I'd rather just link the city name since cities and states are supposed to be linked separately. Comma is unnecessary. The acronym publishers are better known by their acronyms than their full names, like the BBC. Gary King (talk) 00:36, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Comma is necessary because when you read it out loud you need to take a pause before going on to "but". Also, well at least link the publishers.--S_RX 00:58, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

I added the comma, but I still disagree with it. My personal preference is to not link publishers; sometimes people want, sometimes they don't. I assume it's to learn more about the publisher, which may be helpful in knowing if it's relevant and reliable, but in most cases it just causes unnecessary overlinking in the references as they should probably all be linked since you can't tell which reference the reader would land on first.

All done. "As a teenager", to me, seems like he was taking advantage of this stage of adulthood, as if he thought "I'm a teenager so I will go do this" when in fact it's probably more like "I'm going to do this; it just so happens that I'm a teenager." In any case, "While a teenager" is also safer as it doesn't assume anything. Regarding the quote, it's right in the citation. I can't really clarify this further, as I just copy and pasted the quote in my browser's "find" bar and found it on the page instantly. Gary King (talk) 15:22, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

List of Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Opening Day starting pitchers

We are nominating this list because we believe it meets the FL criteria and is consistent with other Opening Day starting pitcher featured lists. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] and Rlendog (talk) 03:21, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Review by SRX (talk · contribs)

• Mike Witt has the record for most Opening Day starts for the Angels, with five. - the first for should be of.

• That doesn't seem to sound right. Just going through some other Wikipedia articles of record holders (admittedly not featured articles) they seem to use "record for" in this context. For example, from Hank Aaron:"His most notable achievement was setting the MLB record for most career home runs with 755...", and from Lou Gehrig:"His record for most career grand slams (23) still stands as of 2008." I think it should say "record of" 3-0 if I was describing his win-loss record, but "record for" number of wins when describing the category he is a recordholder for. Rlendog (talk) 23:24, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

• Addressed. I deleted the phrase "record for" entirely, which should resolve this. Rlendog (talk) 00:26, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

• He has a record of one win and three losses (1–3) with one no decision in those starts. - comma after (1-3).

• Done Rlendog (talk) 23:24, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

• He also has the best won–loss record in Opening Day starts for the Angels with his 3–0 record. - should be win-loss not won-loss. Also, instead of with his 3-0 record how about which is 3-0?

• Done Rlendog (talk) 23:24, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

• The Angels played in the World Series championship games once in their history, in 2002, and they won the World Series that year. - redundant to keep repeating the same thing over and over, --> The Angels have played in one World Series championship game in their history, which they won in 2002.

• The franchise has also gone by the names "Los Angeles Angels", "California Angels" and "Anaheim Angels" at various points in its history. Please provide a source on the various names and consider detailing when these various names were in use.

DONE -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 04:36, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

• No decisions are only awarded to the starting pitcher if the game is won or lost after the starting pitcher has left the game. Clarify that a no decision can also result if a starting pitcher does not pitch five full innings, even if his team retains the lead and wins. We should consider a standard wording describing the no decision.

Just copied your sentence into the article. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 04:36, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

• Please consider sourcing all of the generic summaries of most starts, best record, etc., to the summary from Baseball-Reference, unless more specific sources can be found.

But it's on the list itself though. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 04:36, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

I added the B-R summary as a reference in a couple more places, particularly the paragraph that counts various pitchers' Opening Day starts. Rlendog (talk) 18:32, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

• The Angels have played in two home ball parks. This and the subsequent paragraphs should be sourced. The Angels site at mlb.com has a ballparks history available.

DONE -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 04:36, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

• ...their starting pitchers have 13 wins and 12 losses (13–12) with 2 no decisions - As I see it, we can say "13 wins and 12 losses" or "13–12" but I don't see that both need to be used. This occurs in several places.

I'll just put, 13 wins ad 12 losses. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 04:36, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

• Please note that these are not demands. They are suggestions and recommendations that I hope will be considered constructive. If they make sense and improve the article, feel free to apply them. If not, an explanation should suffice.

Thanks for telling me that, but I answered all of your comments in order to get a support from you. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 04:36, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Alansohn (talk) 03:45, 3 November 2008 (UTC) Review II items:

• The 24 starters have a combined Opening Day record of 23 wins, 18 losses (23–18) and 7 no decisions. - Again use either the "23 wins, 18 losses" or "23–18", probably not both. There's no reason not to mix up the two styles in the remainder of the article.

DONE -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 05:02, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

• They played their first season in Wrigley Field...' Clarify that this is not the one in Chicago. The source came in handy in this expansion.

DONE -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 05:02, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

• The Angels have played in one World Series championship in their history, which they won in 2002. Can I suggest linking "2002" to the 2002 World Series instead of the baseball season article.

DONE -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 05:02, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

• Again, there is no obligation to accept these changes, only that you will consider them. Your disagreement will not dissuade me from supporting the article.

Again, thanks for telling me, but I answered all of your comments in order to get a support from you.

• It was established in Cupertino, California on April 1, 1976 by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak[1] and incorporated on January 3, 1977. - comma after Wozniak.
• Apple's business philosophy is to acquire small companies that can be easily integrated into existing company projects. - sounds POV since there is no source to verify this statement.
• How about in the lead stating how many companies overall were acquired/merged, not just in the U.S.
• Also, how about stating what was the first acquisition and the most recent one.
• Per Template:Reflist#Multiple columns, 3 column format of references should be avoided.
• Other than that, prose and tables look fine. Sources need to be checked by Juliancolton or Ealdgyth.--S_RX 20:39, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

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

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

I've reworded the bit in the lead to imply that not all of the divestments were "parts of the company". I don't think the Divestment table should be split; the reference that I use, for instance, considers them as Divestments as lists them along with the others.

• The Padres first Opening Day starting pitcher was Dick Selma, who received a win against the Houston Astros. how about "earned" versus "received."

The word, "earned", sounds a little bit too POV. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 04:47, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

• Randy Jones and Eric Show ties the Padres' record for most Opening Day starts with four, and both of them combined have an Opening Day record of 3 wins, 3 losses, and 2 no decisions - ties should be singular. Also how about ..and both have a combined Opening Day record..etc

done -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 04:47, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

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

done Check it if I did something wrong. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 04:47, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Jake Peavy was the Opening Day starting pitcher for the Padres since 2006. - 1)Benes and Peavy do not need to be linked again per WP:OVERLINK. 2)You have already mentioned them, you have to just mention them by their last name.

• In addition, although the Padres were nominally the home team on Opening Day 1999, the game was played in Estadio de Beisbol Monterrey in Monterrey, Mexico. - "In addition" is a bad transclusion. How about "On Opening Day in 1999, the game was played in Estadio de Beisbol Moterrey in Monterrey, Mexico." You should say why, to make it seem notable.

I don't really think it's a bad transclusion, since if I put it your way, then they wouldn't know if they were home or away. Also, I don't know why they had it in Mexico. I'll try searching it up. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 04:47, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

I can look at the key all day and still I will not understand why it's necessary to use boldface in this table. Boldface should only be used where WP:BOLDFACE tells you. I don't see anywhere the "use bold to indicate something" guideline.--Crzycheetah 07:27, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

So how do I fixed this? Italics? Not even indicate it at all? -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 07:45, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

• • Why are there <br>'s in the table headers?

fixed I was to make the table smaller, but I changed to now. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 05:05, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

• "The Padres have used 23 different Opening Day starting pitchers in its 40 seasons." - subject and object do not agree. It needs to be "Padres franchise" or "their 40 seasons." One or the other.

• If you are going to link no decision in the key (really not necessary because it's linked above), it should not be linked twice in quick succession. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on!

• Neither the Pat Dobson image nor the Eric Show image have fair use rationales for use in this article, and I doubt that you can provide one because there are other appropriate images already being used to illustrate. Remove.

DONE -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 02:22, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Hope this helps. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 02:13, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Addition (KV5)

• All numbers 10 and below need to be written out (i.e., one, three, nine, etc.). There are a lot of these in the lead.

• In mid-2003, extension to San Francisco International Airport and Millbrae was completed, bringing BART further south into the San Mateo County. - how about In mid-2003, extensions to San Francisco International Airport and Millbrae were completed, which brung BART further south into the San Mateo County. Per tenses.

Fixed, though I use brought instead of brung.—Chris! _ct 02:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

• In additions, BART connects its Coliseum/Oakland Airport station to the Oakland International Airport with AirBART, a shuttle bus service. - addition not additions in this context.

Fixed—Chris! _ct 02:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

• The majority of stations are located in the Alameda County with 19. - how about The majority of stations, 19, are located in the Alameda County.

Fixed—Chris! _ct 02:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

• 10 stations are in the Contra Costa County while eight are in the City and County of San Francisco. - comma after Contra Costa County.

Fixed—Chris! _ct 02:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

• Six stations are in the San Mateo County, though it is not part of the BART district. - elaboration about what "not part of the Bart district" means?

The term "Bart district" is explained in the first paragraph—Chris! _ct 02:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

• The footnotes don't work properly, when I click the [b] for the daily ridership, it doesn't redirect me to the footnote. Same thing for the [a].

Fixed—Chris! _ct 02:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

• All ridership statistics are daily average exits on weekday from April 2008 to June 2008. - weekday should be plural.

Fixed—Chris! _ct 02:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

• Why do you link weekday in note C versus doing it in note b?

Fixed—Chris! _ct 02:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

--S_RX 23:53, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

• The system currently has a total of 43 stations: 15 surface, 13 elevated and 15 subway. - now as a reader who knows nothing about subways, what does elevated mean? Also a comma should be after elevated. Also, wouldn't it be "15 on surface" and "subways" not "subway"?

Partially fixed. Though I don't think I can explain "elevated" more clearly. Any suggestions?—Chris! _ct 02:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Well first of all, what does elevated mean? Plus, a comma is needed after elevated.--S_RX 02:58, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

It means elevated metro station—Chris! _ct 03:40, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

I added a link for elevated station. Hopefully that makes the term clearer to readers.—Chris! _ct 06:12, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Okay that helps, but why pipelink to the glossary when you can pipe to elevated railway?--S_RX 15:09, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Elevated railway redirect to rapid transit. I guess it could work if that page explains what "elevated" is.—Chris! _ct 18:29, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

• The references lack publisher info.

I just checked. Every ref has publisher info.—Chris! _ct 02:43, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

• I don't think Weekday, Night, and Weekend need to be linked at all.

Removed—Chris! _ct 02:43, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

• Image captions are unnecessarily wordy. "View of" and "The" are often not needed.

Fixed—Chris! _ct 02:43, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

• View of station platform of the MacArthur station. Is not a complete sentence.

Fixed—Chris! _ct 02:43, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Comments and thoughts:

• You might want to apply the background colors in the table to whole lines instead of only the first field.

Fixed—Chris! _ct 02:43, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

• I don't know the difference between "Official transfer stations" and "Terminals". Should I have to click the links to find out, or could you explain it right there?

The terms are clear to me so I am not sure how to make them more clear. Any suggestion?—Chris! _ct 02:43, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

• The image in the lead seems a bit too large.

Fixed—Chris! _ct 02:43, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

• How about reshaping the "Citations" and "Bibliography" sections into looking like the "References" section of List of Bleach episodes (season 5)? You might also fit in the "Notes" to make it a "References and Notes" section.

Fixed—Chris! _ct 02:43, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

• Why are the names of the Official transfer stations bolded in addition to the background color? This might be too much formating.

Fixed—Chris! _ct 02:43, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

-- Goodraise (talk) 02:20, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Issues brought up after support was declared:

• The lead sections Image needs a more descriptive caption, as the current one is useless without the actual image.
• The Wikimedia Commons template might waste less space if it were placed higher in the section.

Both addressed —Chris! _ct 05:53, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

• Support: MOS appears to be adhered to. Footnotes look good. Overall appearance is pleasing. Lead section goes into sufficient detail. Supporting materials are rich yet not overwhelming. Image captions are suitable (with exception mentioned above). In my judgement, the nomination meets FL criteria one through six every FL criteria. Therefore I'm now supporting this nomination. -- Goodraise (talk) 03:36, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Comments by Boissière

Another rail list - good work. Just a few Comments

• "...in California consisted of three counties..." - Do you mean "consisting"?

Fixed —Chris! _ct 00:23, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

• "fifth largest rapid transit systems" - should be singular.

Fixed —Chris! _ct 00:23, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

• I don't think that the "Lines" column should be sortable as each cell can contain multiple entries. This seems to be the rule in other FLs.

Fixed —Chris! _ct 00:23, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

• I don't understand the "Authority" bit in the City/Authority column. Presumably it is because of the airport station but I don't understand why it is different (i.e. why isn't the city containing the airport not put here?).

The reason I didn't use the city is that the airport is within another county, not in San Francisco. But since it is generally considered San Francisco, I've change it to San Francisco.—Chris! _ct 00:23, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

• I am not convinced that future stations (even if they are fairly certain) should be in the main list. One problem is that the West Dublin/Pleasanton station slightly screws up the Year opened and Ridership sorting - it always appears first. Either add it in when it opens or maybe have a small "Stations under construction" list after the main one. If you choose to leave it in in some form then, in the description, please replace the colloquial "slated" with "due".
