Nominator(s): SounderBruce 09:07, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For this Leap day, I am nominating a list that involves some leaps, or rather jumps. The Seattle Storm are one of the most successful WNBA teams, with four championships to their name, and have played through 24 seasons since their debut in 2000. This list of those seasons is modeled after existing FLs on NBA team seasons as well as more recent FLs on team seasons from other sports; it is also the fourth in my series of Seattle sports team lists after the Sounders, Seahawks, and Mariners. I believe it meets FL standards but am happy to make sweeping changes where necessary. SounderBruce 09:07, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey man im josh

Source review: Passed

  • Reliable enough for the information being cited
  • Consistent date formatting
    • Your date formatting is good and consistent, but could you add {{Use mdy dates|date=February 2024}} under the short description? That way if anybody adds sources later on it should still end up properly displaying whatever date formats they use in refs.
  • Consistent and proper reference formatting
    • Seattle Times is subscription based, please use the url-access parameter to indicate this
    • Washington Post is subscription based, please use the url-access parameter to indicate this
    • Ref 17 – Work parameter should be "The News Tribune", not "The New Tribune"
  • Appropriate wikilinks where applicable
  • Spot checks on 11 sources match what they are being cited for

Other comments:

  • Season sorts funny. The cells that have a background colour are sorting to the top.
    • Added a hidden sortkey to fix it.
  • I'm thinking the rounds in the playoff results column could and probably should be sentence case instead of capitalized.
    • I am following the project norms for basketball rounds and think the title case works better here; as this issue has been particularly contentious as of late, I don't want to pick a side until the discussion is resolved.
  • What determines what order you put put names into the award column? I'm looking at 2018 specifically and it looks like they're sorted by first name, whereas 2010 doesn't follow this.
    • The sorting is based on the name of the award, which has the added bonus of putting the most important award (MVP) first.
  • Not a deal breaker at all, but would you consider adding abbreviation links in the awards column using Template:Abbrlink?
    • Added.
  • Is there another picture or two you could add?
    • I don't think there's enough room for another picture, since the table is full width on a lot of lower resolution screens.

That's all I've got. Good work! Hey man im josh (talk) 14:25, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hey man im josh: Thanks for the review. I've replied to your comments and made the appropriate changes to the list. SounderBruce 17:44, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I guess I just have a large screen and see extra space for images! Support. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:48, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from ZooBlazer

Overall the article looks pretty good, so I have just a few small things that I think need addressed.

  • I recommend adding archives to all the refs
    • Waiting until all of the links do get archived, as the article is new and hasn't been picked up by the bot crawlers.
  • but the team were eliminated in the Western Conference Semifinals - Should it be the team was eliminated? I know it can be kind of weird with sports teams, but "were" would make sense if it said "the Storm were eliminated", but using team, "was" definitely sounds more natural to me.
    • To maintain consistency in the use of plurals, "were" works best here.
  • I'm not sure adding the 2024 season to the table adds much at this point. At least from what I've seen from other team seasons articles, that would make more sense to add after the 2024 season
    • Removed.

That's all I have. Like I said, overall it looks good. -- ZooBlazer 01:28, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ZooBlazer: Thanks for the review, I've replied to your above comments. SounderBruce 03:08, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since the only thing not done is the one that can't be done yet, I'm happy to support since archives can easily be added when possible. Good work. -- ZooBlazer 03:15, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
