List of Toronto Blue Jays managers
previous FLC (08:36, 17 July 2008)
I am re-nominating this article because I believe it actually deserves to be promoted to featured list material. Annoyomous24 20:38, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- Comment I can't verify any info in the "playoffs" column. Needs sources. DONE! --Crzycheetah 21:25, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- Not done! I still can't find it.--Crzycheetah 02:03, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- I hope this way would work. Annoyomous24 00:48, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
It would, but I think listing just one link would be even better. It took me 5 mins to find it. ;)Put it as an in-line citation in the "playoffs" column.--Crzycheetah 01:48, 20 July 2008 (UTC)- DONE! Annoyomous2403:54, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
- "Number of coaches" is ambiguous and should be changed to maybe terms of coaches(?)
- GC should be changed to GM (games managed)
- Crzycheetah 03:15, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
- Done the second bullet. I don't think it's ambigous since almost all sports list related to coaching use it so I don't think it is going to be a problem. Annoyomous24 20:19, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
- DONE! Annoyomous2403:54, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

- Comments
- They are the first and only team.. - the second part of this sentence is redundant.
- With the fellow Canadian franchise ... - this sentence should be reworded better.
- He is followed by Bobby Cox with in both categories with 648 games and 355 wins - Should be reworded
- Gaston is the only... and Cox is the only... - either these two sentences should be reworded better.
- The fact that Cox won 1985 AL Manager of the Year is not sourced.
- Whenever I click on the "c" footnote, nothing happens because there is no 'c" note in the notes section.
- 2008–Present → 2008–present
- The "Playoffs Information" reference should be cited from the "playoffs" column instead.

- Done all but I don't get what you mean by The "Playoffs Information" reference should be cited from the "playoffs" column instead. -- K. Annoyomous24 23:32, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
Object.The list says Bobby Cox has 293 losses but the reference says 292. The list says Jimy Williams has 522 games coached but the reference says 523. maclean 00:52, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- They must have miswrote it. I fixed it on the table. Annoyomous24 01:32, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- The mantra at Wikipedia:Verifiability is "verifiability, not truth" which is why we insist on Wikipedia:Reliable sources. I understand that Baseball-Reference.com has been accepted in previous FLs as reliable, however, we will require a better source here to verify this list. maclean 02:26, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- I actually added up the wins and losses and it adds up to what is on the table. Also, there is a second reference which backs up baseball-reference.com. The second reference is more reliable from the stats stand point. Annoyomous24 02:44, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- It's considered WP:OR. You need to change current references #5 and 6.--Crzycheetah 07:54, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
- CHANGED REFERENCES FOR BOBBY COX AND JIMY WILLIAMS! -- K. Annoyomous24 20:38, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

I give this list my conditional support, based on the outcome of the comment below. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 00:45, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
- Why isn't the table sortable?
- In one of my previous FLCs, someone told me that you shouldn't sort the table for sports-coach related lists.
- I don't know who told you that, but I'm in an FLC right now for the Phillies managers, and I had to sort that one. The FLC criteria state that the table... "is easy to navigate, and includes—where helpful—section headings and table sort facilities." (from WP:WIAFL).
- Your FLC has a different format than mine. if I sort my table, it'll look messed up. Check for yourself. -- K. Annoyomous24
- I'm aware that our FLCs are certainly different, but the table is still able to be sorted. Click here for more info.
- DONE! but I have a problem that I've been trying to fix all day. That problem is that I can't put the first row back to its original position. -- K. Annoyomous24 00:47, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
