We are nominating this for featured list because it's up to FL standard.—Chris!c/t 20:26, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment To begin with I would both make it clear that the underclassmen are rare (lead the sentence in a way like "While most of those drafted were upperclassmen...", and a footnote (or another sentence) explaining the "hardship" rule. Staxringold talkcontribs 04:28, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I've rephrased and added more information on the eligibility for the draft. — Martin tamb (talk) 13:42, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Took a look at the rest and found some serious prose issues in the one paragraph that was left. I'm concerned, to say the least.

- What makes http://www.thedraftreview.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=854&Itemid=103 a reliable source? Giants2008 (27 and counting) 21:15, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I think this can be removed. There are enough refs to support the list.—Chris!c/t 22:28, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I know that it is not considered a reliable source, but every time I expanded the older draft articles, I always used this website together with NBA.com, APBR and basketball-reference. This website has some information that are not found in the other three main references, but I always support their info with another external references (see ref #7 and #17 which support the info from thedraftreview about 22nd and 31st pick). I know it shouldn't be listed as a reference but I just want to give the website credits for their information. However, if it should be removed, then I wouldn't oppose the removal. — Martin tamb (talk) 07:18, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I just removed it. So, hopefully everyone is satisfied.—Chris!c/t 01:45, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: First thing I noticed was that there is nothing about the draft's legacy. Was it considered a good or a bad one? (Doesn't look like it was good from what I could see but maybe there's something written) Doesn't have to be much but I'm sure there's a couple sentences written somewhere. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 17:31, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think anything can be added. This year seems to be an average draft.—Chris!c/t 22:28, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- That's fine. What I would like to see added though is a note of the NBA Draft's delay to the 24th as a result of the John Brisker conflict.[2] Looks like it happened more than once that year so perhaps only the delay itself needs a mention rather than each time it happened. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 23:07, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Ok, I added a footnote.—Chris!c/t 02:19, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because... I worked on it about a year ago. Decided to try and raise it to FL status since it is long enough now. I completely re-did the article and I'm still looking for extra refs to add. I'm apart of the wikicup. Also, if anyone would like a list reviewed, just bring it up here or on my talk page and I'll find time to review it.--WillC 12:49, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- This was once nominated before, but when it was in list form as List of FIP World Heavyweight Champions. It is long enough now that the problems from it are no longer problems. See Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of FIP World Heavyweight Champions/archive1 for more info.--WillC 15:23, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comments –
Should be a hyphen in "ROH promoted", I believe.- Done--WillC 06:38, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"A new champion is to be determined on April 17, 2010 at FIP's Southern Stampede event." It's now April 19. Surely an update of some kind is required?- Yeah, I just recently updated the article. FIP had yet to update their site and no site has reviewed the event yet since it hasn't been released on DVD at this time. New champion has been added.--WillC 06:38, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Footnote 1: Remove apostrophe from second "wrestler's".Giants2008 (27 and counting) 19:17, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]- Done--WillC 06:38, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- "Being a professional wrestling championship, the title is won as a result of a predetermined outcome of a wrestling match. " do you have a ref for this?
- Pretty much common sense in wrestling, but placed in since it is significant to the title. I could find a ref if needed, but it has never really been a problem before with any other article with explanations of this sort.--WillC 06:38, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Common sense to you I agree. It's not like any other "professional ... championship" though, is it? The Rambling Man (talk) 07:42, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Well it is like all other pro wrestling titles, but sports titles that would be a no. I'll start looking for a reference. Though the majority seem to know pro wrestling is scripted, so I would think it would be obvious.--WillC 07:16, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list so I could use this page as a base for other seasons of the anime. As for the web cite archives, they are currently down since they're changing servers. DragonZero (talk · contribs) 03:24, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment None of those are requirements for an anime episode list as seen here List of Bleach episodes (season 10). DragonZero (talk · contribs) 05:23, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- That is curious. I'm not much of an anime fan and haven't looked at those lists. But cartoons like The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Avatar all have such information on them, as do sitcoms and other television shows. But since it seems that anime shows don't, I'll strike that out. I have also crossed out the infobox note, since it seems that anime lists don't use that either. I would have thought that all episode lists would be uniform. In any case, the rest of the list seems fine so I'm giving my support.--haha169 (talk) 01:24, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
- Sources, my word, just one or two third-party sources in English out of 50. This is a problem as it's impossible for 99.9% of us to verify the information in this list.
- The series is only in Japanese and thus has only Japanese sources which are the most reliable. This has not impacted whether an anime could be featured list or not. Sides, the Japanese sources mostly consists of episode number, kanji titles, and dates. DragonZero (talk · contribs) 08:26, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- FL standards change, so no need to refer to other FLs. How do I verify the synopses? The Rambling Man (talk) 08:55, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- And I'm uncertain as to how you can use Wikipedia for references 3 to 6 inclusive."
- From the anime and manga project group, I learned that the episodes themselves can be used to source the theme music. DragonZero (talk · contribs) 08:27, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't see how you can use Wikipedia to verify Wikipedia, regardless of what the project group says. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:28, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- If you want, I could unlink the links to the episodes,. I'm trying to show that the source is first party from the episode themselves. Other Featured anime lists also follow that. DragonZero (talk · contribs) 08:31, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't get it really. Whether other lists use this approach or not is not particularly relevant here. What's wrong with a wikilink? Why have a reference that I have to scroll down to find which then takes me back up to the list to an episode? And I find it odd that those references have Detective Conan as the work, some directors mentioned, and yet still link to Wikipedia. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:55, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The cite episode templates have the directors, the reference have Detective Conan as the work since the English adapation, Case Closed, follow a different numbering than its original counterpart, Detective Conan, and I wanted to avoid original research. I could change it to Case Closed if prefered. DragonZero (talk · contribs) 08:59, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Half the lead talks about theme music. I'd rather know about the series, the characters, the stories etc.
- "Notes and References" should be "Notes and references".
- Fixed. DragonZero (talk · contribs) 08:26, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- As I said before as I can verify the content of the list, I don't really think there's much point in me reviewing the episode synopses because they could be inaccurate.

- This essentially means the large majority of WP:FLs from WP:ANIME should be delisted due to an almost complete lack of of English sources and a general lack of Japanese online sources that come from reliable sources. Disregarding my own personal beliefs in this, am I correct in assuming this? ɳOCTURNEɳOIR talk // contribs 18:22, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Well that's for the community to decide. If a list has virtually no English sources, I'd like to know how I can verify its contents. A reasonable request, no? The Rambling Man (talk) 18:24, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Get Japanese editors to verify them for you? I realize this is a tad unlikely, but Japanese sources shouldn't outright rejected. ɳOCTURNEɳOIR talk // contribs 19:02, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not rejecting anything, outright or not, I'm simply stating that this is English Wikipedia, and to have featured material which is utterly unverifiable to English readers seems a little strange. Also, see WP:RSUE... The Rambling Man (talk) 19:06, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Only logical. I'll have to reconsider this myself. Cheers, ɳOCTURNEɳOIR talk // contribs 19:25, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Well the information is unavailable in English. You could go ahead and oppose if you like, I won't be able to fix it. DragonZero (talk · contribs) 08:15, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Well please note that I'm not the consensus, just a single person suggesting that a list almost entirely referenced in a foreign language doesn't meet our guidelines. If others are happy and support then so be it. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:43, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list. It has grown greatly since several years ago and I believe that it now matches the WP:FL? criteria for featured list. I have used List of Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow characters, another FL, as the main template for this list because there is very little precedent for character-related featured lists.
This list is well cited. It has an engaging lead and is written in prose. All images are tagged with rationales. Let's begin the nitpicking. --haha169 (talk) 03:37, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Not much left to say, references look good and a few more copy edits to make it more stoic would make me support it strongly. Looking at List of Naruto characters might help you there and may provide more suggestions. DragonZero (talk · contribs) 06:40, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment There is a dead link; please check the toolbox. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:49, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The cite template requires the original dead link when providing an archived link. That particular dead link has an archived equivalent. --haha169 (talk) 03:42, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]- Sorry, Syfy seems to be removing its articles lately for some reason, and I confused this with another Syfy article which I had found an archive of. I have removed that cite since there was no archive on Wayback Machine and it wasn't seemingly necessary. --haha169 (talk) 04:10, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
