- Support, as my comments have been addressed. Holiday56 (talk) 14:00, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Support,
with one query: using "NA" for unknown directors implies there was never a director for the video. I would suggest using a dash instead with a note at the bottom for what the dash denotes (unknown director). Otherwise,great work and full support. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 21:16, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- As n/a is an abbreviation for "not available", I think that it is fine to use the template in this context, as the article for n/a itself says that it is typically used to "indicate when information in a certain table cell is not provided... because the answer is not available", and the template is usually used when editors cannot find the director's name in a reliable reference; therefore, it is not available. I Am Rufus • Conversation is a beautiful thing. 06:53, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Very well, seems reasonable. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 10:09, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Ayrton Senna, the last man to die at the wheel of a Formula One car.
- Untrue. Firstly, he technically died whilst out of the car receiving medical attention, but more importantly, two drivers have died in F1 cars since 1994, in non-Championship events. The sentence above the table List of people who died during a FIA World Championship race weekend, or elsewhere while driving a Formula One car means that they should be included. They both used to be on this list but were removed for some reason. Either they should be re-added or the wording changed to exclude deaths outside World Championship events. This would involve the removal of 14 drivers currently on the list. The two drivers were John Dawson-Damer, killed in a Lotus during a hillclimb at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2000, and Fritz Glatz, killed driving a Footwork FA17 in a EuroBoss race in the Czech Republic in 2002. Bretonbanquet (talk) 21:23, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I see those two have been re-added - there may be some objections to that, as there were previously. The discussion is still on the talk page. My point is that either they should be included or the criteria should be worded to explain clearly who is included and who is excluded. I don't mind either way, so long as the list matches the criteria. Some people wanted the two later deaths excluded as the cars involved did not conform to the F1 regulations as they were written at the time of the accidents. But that would also exclude the Indy cars of the 1950s (which never conformed to any F1 regulations) and any modified cars used in testing. It's a complicated subject. Bretonbanquet (talk) 21:42, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I've added them back as you've noticed. Yes I read the discussion page, there seemed to be a preference for what having the list in its current guise. I think the way it is now the best way to do it, I think its clarified in the text, the list refers to people driving an F1 car regardless of where it is etc. I'll try and make it clearer. It certainly is a complicated issue, but I think this is the right way to go. NapHit (talk) 21:47, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree with you. Hopefully if someone objects, we can figure out an easy way to keep everyone happy. Bretonbanquet (talk) 21:52, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Oppose for now: needs a bit more copyediting:
- "It was not until the 1960s these were first introduced. Helmets and overalls became mandatory and the FIA assumed responsibility for safety at the circuits.[2] Steps were taken to improve the safety of the Formula One car in the 1970s. The cockpit opening was enlarged allowing the driver to escape quicker in the event of an accident and outside mirrors became mandatory.[" I think these four sentences need to be merged into two, to clearly explain that #2 refers to the 60s, and #4 to the 70s.
- done NapHit (talk) 13:47, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- "49 drivers have died..."
- You haven't specified your issue with this. NapHit (talk) 13:47, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- "This list includes drivers who have during a FIA World Championship race weekend, and those who have died while driving a Formula One car outside of the World Championship. " this is a bit confusing. you mean the list includes BOTH drivers who died during the weekend and those who died outside of them but driving a F1 car?
- Yes, the list contains drivers who died during a Formula One race weekend and those who have died elsewhere while driving a formula one car, the sentence seems clear to me not sure how it could be clearer. NapHit (talk) 13:47, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- "Track marshals and other race attendees, who have died as a result of these accidents are not included in the list. " is there an estimate on how many people died during accidents but were not the drivers?
- Don't think so, had a look around, couldn't find any reliable estimates. NapHit (talk) 13:47, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- "(there have been two fatalities outside of World Championship Grands Prix) " perhaps change this into a footnote and clearly explain who are the two
- done NapHit (talk) 13:47, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- mention that two drivers died in the 1960 Belgian Grand Prix and 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.
- Not sure, i don't what the lead to start reading like a list of facts. NapHit (talk) 13:47, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- mention that '58 is the year with most fatalities (4)
- Don't think it's necessary, lead already states fatalities by decade, don't think we need to elaborate further. NapHit (talk) 13:47, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- By circuit needs to include also the number of times the circuit has been used. Fatalities by constructor needs to have columns with how many seasons the constructors were active
- Not sure this is necessary, the tables are there to state the number of times fatalities have occurred at the circuit, don't think we need to overload either table with more information. NapHit (talk) 13:47, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I think there should be an age column also
- Again, not sure about this either, not sure its necessary, I think it would be adding too much information to the table. The reader can click the link to the article if they want to know their age. NapHit (talk) 13:47, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nergaal (talk) 00:47, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the comments Nergaal, I've addressed them all. NapHit (talk) 13:47, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- You adressed some of them, but mostly discarded them. Nergaal (talk) 23:37, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I think discarded is a bit harsh, whether I disagreed with them or not, I addressed them one way or the other. I just don't think there is a need to flood tables and the lead with loads of information. Wikipedia is not a statistics site adding more information to the lead is unnecessary as it adequately summarises the table. Listing more would not make the prose flow. With the tables, I'm not sure an age column is necessary, the reader can click the person's article to find out, it would be information overload, likewise with the other suggestions for the other tables. I know you're comments were well-intentioned I just don't think it would be practical or necessary to include the suggestions I've highlighted. NapHit (talk) 23:50, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Support – meets all 6 criteria. Great work. —Bloom6132 (talk) 03:49, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comments – Don't think I've ever had a list I nominated for delisting come back to FLC before. Interesting occurance, and the sourcing certainly looks much better than it did when the list was at FLRC.
- Comma after "Track marshals and other race attendees" probably shouldn't be there.
- The number starting the sentence "49 drivers have died..." would be better off spelled out. I've never thought that numbers starting sentences are a good thing, and I think that is why Nergaal commented on it. Giants2008 (Talk) 23:23, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the comments Giants, I've addressed them both. NapHit (talk) 23:29, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
quickie something I missed earlier, the 2002 EuroBOSS Series season (although red) would be a more accurate link than just EuroBOSS Series wouldn't it? Even if you had to create a stub which remarked upon the fact that a driver was killed in an F1 car during the season? The Rambling Man (talk) 14:31, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Yep, I agree changed to a redlink. NapHit (talk) 15:18, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Support I don't agree with many of Nergaal's points in the opposition. I'm very happy indeed with the standard of this list, definitely FL quality. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:40, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

;Comments:
All my comments have to deal with the lead, save for the last comment. 1) The lead has numbers, such as 25, then "twelve." Be consistent. 2) A little too much detail for the HOF eligibility, IMO. Also, it's stated 13 of the current club members are "disqualified" for the Hall for the current time being; is disqualified the same as "ineligible" because I think the latter is what should be used. 3) The first sentence of the doesn't seem to be particularly controversial, yet it has 3 references. 4) I just got done reading a full sentence's worth of HOF eligibility requirements (last paragraph), yet I have to have it explained to me when Sosa and Bonds will be eligible? I think the reader would be able to figure it out on their own. 5) Perhaps too much weight given to the club and a player's HOF chances? I think "two of whom made it on the first ballot" is giving way too much credit to this feat and a players HOF enshrinement. There are a number of factors, some even off the field, that go into a player's induction; again, too much weight given to this one club IMO. 6) The lead lists the number of players who accomplished the feat in 2011, yet the caption of the Kinsler picture states he is the "latest." I would make the caption even more specific, stating "the latest of the five players to reach the club during the 2011 season." Zepppep (talk) 08:48, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: The Kinsler image caption seems inaccurate. Technically, he was not the most recent to join the club, since he did so in 2009. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 17:52, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- You're right. Didn't notice that. Would you suggest me delete the Kinsler pic, or replace it with Ellsbury and label him the "most recent non-repeat player"? —Bloom6132 (talk) 19:14, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Replacing with Ellsbury's fine, though if you want to keep Kinsler (which I'd narrowly prefer just because it's a better pitcure, but it's entirely up to you), then change it to say latest to repeat the feat. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 21:45, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Done. —Bloom6132 (talk) 05:00, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding the numbers in the second paragraph of the lead section, note the following from Wikipedia's Manual of Style regarding numerals: "As a general rule, in the body of an article, single-digit whole numbers from zero to nine are spelled out in words; numbers greater than nine, if they are expressed in one or two words, may be rendered in numerals or in words... However there are frequent exceptions to these rules. ... Comparable quantities should be all spelled out or all figures: we may write either 5 cats and 32 dogs or five cats and thirty-two dogs, not five cats and 32 dogs." Since the first two sentences in the second paragraph are comparing numbers of players, it would be appropriate to use numerals for the numbers. isaacl (talk) 22:33, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- When sorting in ascending order for HR, I would expect it to sort secondarily by the SB.
- I'm sorry, but I don't know how to do this. Could I trouble you to clarify this for me? —Bloom6132 (talk) 16:06, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Help:Sorting#Secondary key has instructions on how to achieve this, but I think they're backwards. It seems to me you have to sort the table based on the primary key first, then hold down the shift key while clicking to sort based on the secondary key. isaacl (talk) 16:34, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks Isaacl. Holding the shift key down does work. Does that mean there's nothing else that needs to be added into the table syntax? —Bloom6132 (talk) 16:38, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, I didn't notice that there were some footnote symbols after some of the entries. This will also throw off sorting (and may be why simply sorting on the secondary key first and then the primary key is not working). See Help:Sorting#Numeric sorting with hidden key for information on inserting a hidden sort key (I've seen this used in an article somewhere but I can't remember where now; if I find it I'll point you to it). isaacl (talk) 16:50, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- See the Template:nts page and select "What links here" under the Toolbox section in the left hand side bar to see examples. Basically I think you just need to wrap all the numbers in the nts template. isaacl (talk) 17:03, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm still completely confused about the nts template. Anyways, pressing the primary key (i.e. HR column) first, then holding the shift key for the secondary one (SB column) actually works for me, even with the symbols (the ^, am I right?). It sorts Alex Rodriguez first (who has 42 HR + 46 SB) before Canseco and Bonds (who both have 42 HR + 40 SB each). The caret symbol doesn't seem to affect the table. I'm not sure about others, but it's working for me. —Bloom6132 (talk) 17:44, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Clicking on the secondary key first then the primary key should also work. I believe all you need to do to use the nts template is to replace each number with {{nts|number}}. isaacl (talk) 17:59, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Is the addition of the nts template absolutely necessary? Adding the template complicates matters a whole lot further and the current format of primary key –> shift+secondary key works perfectly. My theory is that only when the current format doesn't work should the nts template be added. —Bloom6132 (talk) 18:10, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Not sure what is generally expected in a featured article/list; however, I can see how the original commenter might feel that the ability to sort by clicking on the secondary key then the primary key may be important to preserve, given that some people may rely on this and not know about using the shift key. It is after all supposed to be an example of the very best that Wikipedia has to offer. isaacl (talk) 18:31, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- I'm wondering now if you need to use a hidden sort key, like we do on many cricket lists where, say, hitting 100 runs off 40 balls is better than hitting 100 runs off 41 balls. I know this is all a bit of drag, if you and the other editors here don't think it applies to baseball lists, then I'll defer to you, but if you look at one of the recently promoted cricket "List of centuries..." lists then you'll see how they sort stuff invisibly... The Rambling Man (talk) 13:58, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The nts template should be good enough, as I understand it, since all that is needed is to mark up the value in a way that extra trailing text won't affect the sorting. isaacl (talk) 14:41, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, it's the double click that I haven't ever used before... The Rambling Man (talk) 14:49, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- It seems to work for me: I clicked twice on the "SB" heading to sort in descending order, then clicked twice on "HR" to sort it in descending order, and players with the same number of home runs are ordered in descending order of stolen bases. isaacl (talk) 14:33, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- That's the problem. Because even without the nts template, you would still have to click the SB first before the HR (basically, it's sorting exactly the same way as it would have without the template). What TRM wants here (if I'm not mistaken) is for one to click on the HR list and have it automatically break ties based on greater # of stolen bases. —Bloom6132 (talk) 14:51, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Yep, exactly that. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:02, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I understand now. Though it can be done with a hidden sort key, personally I wouldn't recommend it, because it would make the table sort in a non-standard way, and so would confuse those who expect to be able to control the primary and secondary keys themselves. (I appreciate that those who know how to control the sort keys may be less than a majority of readers; it is a tradeoff in assisting with making Wikipedia easier to use from an overall perspective through a common interface versus trying to satisfy a specific local need. Unlike the cricket case, the desired sorting can be achieved by picking the right columns to sort.) isaacl (talk) 15:24, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Now that we can agree that the NTS template does nothing for the table and that we shouldn't use the hidden sort key, can we just leave this table alone and consider this comment resolved? —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:42, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The nts template ensures that sorting will work correctly even with the trailing symbols on the numbers, and so I would recommend keeping its use. Regarding the original comment, since The Rambling Man agreed to defer judgment to other editors, personally I think it can be considered resolved. isaacl (talk) 15:50, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not sure sorting in a "non-standard way" is a bad thing here. When the secondary sort is just seemingly random, it's unhelpful. For sports (like cricket) where there's a clearly defined secondary sort (and once again, that may not be the case for baseball, but hey...) we should use the tools available to us to do that. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:16, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The sorting is a "stable sort", meaning that the original table row order is preserved where there are ties in the chosen primary sort key, and so the order is not random. In this case, it means the original chronological ordering is preserved. Adding a hidden sort key to the home run column, for example, that combined home runs and stolen bases would break the stable sorting, and prevent the user from choosing certain combinations of sort keys. isaacl (talk) 16:23, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- But this "stable sorting" is unhelpful in many cases. I appreciate you telling me how it does sort though, a mystery solved. What combination of sort key would it prevent that would actually be useful? I'm thinking of the reader here, not a scientific approach to tables... The Rambling Man (talk) 16:38, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Assuming the hidden combined key is added to the home run column, sorting using home runs as a primary key and any column other than stolen bases as a secondary key would not work. For example, sorting by home runs and then by year would not work. Also, it would not be possible to sort by home runs as the primary key in one direction and by stolen bases in the other, such as in descending order by home runs and ascending order by stolen bases as a secondary key.
- Stable sorting is what allows someone to sort the table with any number of sort keys, by sorting the table sequentially from the least-significant key to the most-significant one. It's a common technique used by users of, for example, spreadsheets. (Using the shift-click technique is probably more convenient for readers, since they can click on the column headings starting with the most-significant key downwards, but with the current interface, it isn't very discoverable.) isaacl (talk) 16:56, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- (A clarifying note: when I said stable sorting preserves the original table row order, I meant the order before the sort, and not the original order when the page was first loaded. So when a table is first sorted by the secondary sort key and then the primary one, ties for the primary sort key are resolved by the secondary sort key, due to the stable sorting.) isaacl (talk) 17:04, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. How many general readers know about "shift clicking"? Virtually none of them I'd suggest. I think for certain tables it's much more convenient for our reader to force the sorting. What about Olympic medal tables which should always sort by golds, then silvers, then bronzes, when sorting by each type of medal? The Rambling Man (talk) 17:20, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, as I said, using shift-click isn't very discoverable. The standard technique of sorting by the least-significant key first, and so forth up to sorting by the most-significant key last remains available. Editors do force sorting by organizing the original table in the order deemed most useful (I won't go into details on the medal table sorting here, since it is off-topic). Making a column with one value actually be a combination of two columns for sorting purposes takes away the ability of readers to choose their own sort order. If only one order is ever desirable, then the ability to sort can be removed entirely. isaacl (talk) 17:38, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I disagree on two grounds. One, I may wish to sort by surname and by "best performance" where "best performance" is defined by most homers then most stolen bases, or most stolen bases then most homers. So removing sorting is inadequate. Secondly, I don't think Olympic medal tables are off-topic. They have a "traditional" sort mechanism, which doesn't follow the "stable" sorting you describe, yet they're just dandy. There's no good reason why other lists with such "traditional" sorting should be denied helpful and intuitive sorting. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:00, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree with you that it's important to give readers the ability to define their own sort keys. I believe the article should not pre-determine that they must always sort based on a combination of home runs + stolen bases, though. If readers want to sort the table by home runs, then surnames, then stolen bases, they would not be able to do so with the home run column actually sorting based on a combination value of home runs + stolen bases. Or if readers want to see who has the most power while being slow on the base paths, they would want to be able to sort in descending order of home runs and ascending order of stolen bases. I apologize if I've failed to explain the term "stable sort" adequately: it is not a sorting order and so does not relate to the concept of sorting by a pre-determined combination of values. It just means that when you choose a new sort key, ties are not broken randomly, but are based on the current order. You need this to be able to support sorting on surname then another column, as in your example, whether or not the other column has a hidden sort key value.
- Regarding Olympic medal tables, I'm not sure that when sorting by silvers, all readers want ties for silvers to be broken by golds, then bronzes. (To be honest, I'm not sure who would sort by silvers anyway.) Nonetheless, it is possible for readers to sort an Olympic medal table using any set of primary, secondary, tertiary, etc. keys. To sort by silvers, golds, and bronzes, for example, the reader first clicks on the bronze heading, then the gold heading, then the silver heading. isaacl (talk) 18:41, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I think there probably is a solution to my issue, just one that needs proper explanation to all readers. Currently the Mediawiki software is clearly not mature enough to achieve what we need without intricate coding. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:45, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- In cases where the desired sorting is based strictly on the existing columns, and not on calculated values (such as a percentage based on two columns), I think the most beneficial approach is to educate readers on how they can sort on multiple columns. This gives them the flexibility to decide on any ordering they want. In this case, they can first sort the table based on stolen bases, then sort it based on home runs. isaacl (talk) 18:56, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Interesting, so a % of two cols is okay? Or any other formula? That would be the case here or for the cricket lists I've been talking about. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:04, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- In terms of making the sort order obvious to readers, personally I would prefer that the result of the actual formula (be it a percentage, or something else) be a column in the table, and then readers can explicitly click on that column and get a sorting based on it. That way it is crystal clear what the sort order is. (I don't want to digress too much in this featured list review, so perhaps we can take further discussion on sorting in general elsewhere?) isaacl (talk) 19:10, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- No, I understand. It's really important to the FL community that we resolve this, there are hundreds, if not thousands of lists that use slightly more intricate sorting to resolve the shortcomings of the software, would like to take this further. Your place or mine? The Rambling Man (talk) 19:20, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- TRM, as per your previous comment and Isaacl's request above, may I please request that this point be deferred to him and me. The issue seems to be more about an overall WP MOS formatting issue that is still unsolved, rather than this specific list violating any existing WP guidelines. In addition, the discussion thread is becoming excessively long for readability purposes (especially given that this is now an FL community issue). However, if you believe this thread must stay, feel free to keep it. —Bloom6132 (talk) 19:43, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because having done much work on the article, including starting a peer review and applying necessary changes, I believe it finally meets the criteria for becoming a featured list. Holiday56 (talk) 15:12, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Support – Lead is well written, tables are properly formatted and sourcing is consistent and professional. I did a few tweaks if you don't mind, but otherwise great work. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 21:02, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
One quick query: using "NA" for unknown directors implies that the video never had a director. I've seen other FLs use a dash instead and have a note at the bottom ("—" denotes an unknown director). That should clarify any confusion with the directors.—WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 21:13, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]- Since n/a is also an abbreviation for "not available", I think it would be fine to use the template. Many featured lists alternate between using the template and notation. Holiday56 (talk) 05:14, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Sounds reasonable. I'm okay then. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 10:09, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel that this list meets the criteria and is loosely based on FL List of Test cricket triple centuries. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 10:07, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

*Not sure why you need a No. column in the first table as it sorts the same as the date.

Try not to start a sentence with a number, like in "14 players have have scored 90–99 runs in an innings".Also fix the double word in that sentence.What makes Itsonlycricket (references 3 and 5) a reliable source?Giants2008 (Talk) 20:17, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: - There "strike rate" is mentioned but I found it pretty less use and if I wan't to know balls faced, I will have to calculate. If I were reading an article on centuries (regardless of format), balls faced will be an important thing for me and most of the readers would want to know that how many balls were faced. Thus, instead of including SR, I believe that balls should be kept or both. TheSpecialUser TSU 12:36, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

* The lead caption should use "have" rather than "has" in the first sentence. And "out" is not required in the last sentence.

Mostly technicalities to work on there, although the lead in general could do with a polish. Harrias talk 11:04, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

While you can create works based upon the original work, so called "derivative works", you can only release such a work under some license if you are the derivative work's copyright holder, which you are only if your changes/additions to the original work, unlike mere cropping, meet the threshold of originality.
