  • I don't like this sentence. In the second tournament in 2004, the competition became more "international" with winners from Asia, Europe and North America finished in the prize winning places. "became more international?" Isn't this already a international tournament? Yes only 2 continent winners were in the early stages but it's still international, reword this in a format that says the same but in a different way. Done
  • Japanese Saeka Matsuyama won the violin part to the final and Xiaotang Tan from China came in first place in the piano category. - violin part to the final? You mean she won that part to go the final? Done - Meant to say "in the final".

• What makes the following reliable sources?
  • http://www.hollywoodupclose.com/news/music/story/tiesto_crowned_king_of_tmf_awards/
• Per the MOS, link titles shouldn't be in all capitals in the references (current ref 16).

Otherwise sources look good, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 14:43, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That reference changed since I last saw it; it was using an Elle magazine website; it now appears to redirect to another site owned by the same company. I've updated the publisher to reflect this; the information on the actual page is the same as it was before, it's just that the site has changed. Gary King (talk) 20:57, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• "The list includes clubs that are current members of the Premier League, who lost their Football League after being admitted, and those which lost their status by other means." The middle bit doesn't make sense.
  •  Done Reworded. Mattythewhite (talk)
• Would it be more helpful with the Soccerbase league table links, to link to each club's last Football League season table? For instance, the Thames F.C. reference links to the current Premier League table, and my instant reaction was that the link was wrong, till I looked further down the page to find the dropdown for league tables including Thames. If you add the seasonid parameter to the url, you could link to 1931/32 Div 3S, their last FL season.

  • Where would you say these notes should be displayed? Mattythewhite (talk) 13:04, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • In a column of their own; two possibilities
      1. add a narrowish column that just says Relegated/Not re-elected/Resigned/Liquidated/whatever it is, then if it's worth going into more detail, do it in the footnotes section, like you've already done with Leeds City and Maidstone, or if not just add a reference. Relegated clubs would source to the existing Soccerbase ref anyway so for those you wouldn't need another ref.
      2. add a column the same width as the Current status column (make them both 25-30%) and put any detail in the column.
    • If you think either of those would work? While I think of it, you don't really need the word Currently in "Currently playing in..." column entries, the heading already says Current status. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 14:08, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Killervogel5

Big problem with the club source and national source columns. Using external links means that there is no reference list at the bottom of the page to refer to. The short "Notes" section should actually be "References", and all of these links should be converted to references using the ((cite web)) template so that they appear in this section. This is the only problem I see with the list, but it's a big one. Currently, I oppose, but will reconsider if this is corrected.

Additional comment: "club's 100 year centenary season" - redundant, just say "centenary season". Remove "100 year".

Oppose from Killervogel5

The article did have a massive reference list at the bottom, but the problem was that other references became swamped with about 250 player profile references around them, It is really just a way of keeping it organised and tidy. Sunderland06 (talk) 19:26, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay KV5, thanks for pointing out about the embedded links, I would never have guessed it was a MoS violation, anyways... I've added the international profiles to references. I was wondering if a general reference for stat cat, where all the club profiles come from with the usual accessdate, and then if I pointed it out again in the club profile column that all the club profiles come from stat cat, with accessdate etc. So it would keep the embedded links but as if they were references, seeing as though they would be covered by the general reference.

Comments from Killervogel5
Just a couple of things.

• "The first competition was won by Fiorentina who beat Rangers 4–1 over two-legs to win the 1961 Final" - Two legs should not have a dash because it refers to the two legs (it's not an adjective like in two-legged final). Also, any reason why two-legged is linked on its third occurrence instead of first?
• "with Lazio triumphing over Real Mallorca." - I really don't like the use of "triumphing over" here, seems a little WP:WEASEL or WP:NPOV. I would use "defeating" instead.
• This isn't a deal breaker by any means, but could you tell me why you use footnotes for other victory notes and in the two-legged final, you don't? I might feel better if there was a footnote saying Fiorentina won 4-1 on aggregate.
• In the references section, use semicolons to make sections (;General references) rather than subheadings.

Other than that, the list itself looks good!

Review by Killervogel5

The only reason there are notes for certain matches are that these matches finished in a draw and were decided either on penalties or in a replay, so a note is required to explain this. Also in the two-legged final there is a column underneath which tells the score. Thanks for the comments. NapHit (talk) 18:38, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - your lead says the season ended Nov 30 but the list says the season ended Dec 3. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:28, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • This tends to be a little confusing. You see, the National Hurricane Center designates the Atlantic hurricane season to officially begin on June 1 and officially end on November 30. That is the period when most tropical cyclones form in the basin. However, it is not unprecedented for storms to occur outside of those dates, similar to the way snow can fall before or after the winter months. Hope that clears it up some. Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 12:37, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I understand that I think but the wording in the list contradicts itself directly so it's a source of confusion. The Dec 3 entry reads "ending the season" while the lead says "season, which officially began on June 1, 2004, and lasted until November 30" - perhaps it needs a footnote or something to avoid this confusion. Also, Charley and Danielle are bold once each, why? The Rambling Man (talk) 12:40, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Boldings removed. I must have missed them when removing the others. Also, I reworded the list to specify that November 30 was the last storm of the season, not the official end. Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 12:59, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • Super job, thanks. Final question, might have asked it already - why not use the ((convert)) template for guaranteed consistent conversion and non-breaking spaces per the MOS? The Rambling Man (talk) 13:04, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
          • • As wind speeds in storm reports are most often rounded to the nearest five mph, using ((convert)) would give a specific, non-rounded conversion. Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 13:11, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
              • Have you looked at using sigfig in the template? You could round to the nearest 10 kph for 323 kph->320kph by using sigfig=2? The Rambling Man (talk) 13:35, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
                • I'm terrible with templates, so I can't seem to figure out how to work that parameter, but I'll continue to tinker with it. Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 13:51, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
                • That template would not be precise enough. The original sources have a resolution of 5 kph/mph/kt, so using convert, even with sigfig=2, modifies the value of the conversion away from the original source. Titoxd^{(?!? - cool stuff)} 21:51, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
                  • I thought since the original sources would all be imperial (being US-sourced), then they'd all be in mph. I've checked quite a few and they're all that way. Converting to kph doesn't need to be to the nearest 5kph, what's the logic behind that? 1mph is nearly 2kph so if you were really keen to make a logical rounding, kph should be rounded to the nearest 10kph. But frankly I'm not sure why the rounding of the converted unit needs to take place at all. Right now you have arguably incorrect conversions through an arbitrary rounding. And in the list there currently exists " 45 mph (72 km/h)" which isn't resolved to 5kph either...You also have "240 miles (390 km)" where 240 miles is 386km (so rounded to the nearest 10km?). Are there cut-off points which I'm unaware of where you round to nearest 1, 5, 10 etc? Can someone advise? The Rambling Man (talk) 09:11, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
                    • Yes. Maximum sustained windspeed measurements and position fixes are provided by the source material by using the original value in knots, rounding it to mph and km/h, and then rounding up all the values to the nearest 5 or 0. This is due to the resolution of the grid used by the National Hurricane Center and other Regional Specialized Meteorological Centres in tropical cyclone forecasting. There are other measurements, like recorded peak gusts at measurement stations, that can be converted to the nearest unit because these measurements have a higher resolution than the position and max winds measurements. Essentially, we follow whatever value the source uses, and we don't see a problem with rounding up or down manually. Titoxd^{(?!? - cool stuff)} 19:15, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well whoever "we" are, your rounding is not explained clearly and is inconsistent. It appears that numbers below 100 (?) are rounded to the nearest unit. Rounding to the nearest 5 or 0 seems to occur at an arbitrary point too. Your sources here appear in mph to the nearest 5mph, it doesn't mean the converted values have to follow any such rule - it just compounds the error. What's wrong with the ((convert)) template which provides consistently correct answers to a definable sig fig? The Rambling Man (talk) 21:39, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We = WP:WPTC. Again, whatever rounded value is used by sources operationally (like this source for a current storm) is what we tend to use. Note the in the link, the NHC says that 40 mi = 65 km/h, while with convert, it would be 64 km/h. ((convert)) is unnecessary, and would introduce deviation from sources; I would object to this article being promoted if the template were used for this purpose. Titoxd^{(?!? - cool stuff)} 21:47, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, the penny has finally dropped! In that case, may I suggest a footnote which says all conversions are as per the source information? That way we all win - you can avoid using the template and I can shut up about the dodgy conversions! Is that a deal or is that a deal? The Rambling Man (talk) 21:52, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • I agree with Haha, this is a list of their seasons not a article about their seasons. This should probably be discussed with the Baseball project.
  • I feel the note about the "key" should be placed in the "Year by year" section.
  • May I suggest making a small table at the top of the "year by year" section that can serve as the key, and it will eliminate the long list of notes, which are mixed with the key and other notes about the information.
  • Another suggestion, placing the "general references" incorporated into the table as a extra row. Like in the table at 2008 WWE Draft.
  • Why is their an extra column in the table, yet it is not used?

--S_RX 22:33, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I made a table with all the abbreviations from the notes. The note about the key wasn't really needed after that, so I removed it. I also added a reference at the bottom of the table and removed the others, since they weren't needed (the ref covers all seasons). Opinions on the name are split 1-1 at WT:BASEBALL, and I'm watching that closely. My only question is where the extra column in the table is; I don't see it.

  • My ignorance, but if you can only win or lose in regular season games, how can you finish 1/2 a game behind?
    • Because games can be rained out, or stopped due to darkness in the old days before stadiums were lighted. See the aforementioned 4-0-1. Games can't really end tied anymore, except for this one. Teams always try to make up postponed or suspended games, but some still end up cancelled. One of the baseball season FLs explains how the Games Back column is calculated.

Comments from Killervogel5

• Stand-alone years in the lead and the table that are linked to "baseball years" (the ((by|YYYY)) template) should be linked to the corresponding "Major League Baseball season". You can replace the current template with ((mlby|YYYY)) to link to those seasons.
• In the key, you should put a footnote explaining what "games back" means for non-experts.
• The following terms should be linked in the table headers: division should be linked to Division (sports), league to List of organized baseball leagues, wins to Win (baseball), losses to Loss (baseball), win% to Winning percentage, and GB to games behind.
• Baltimore Orioles regular season records at the bottom should use the same date format as the rest of the table (YYYY–YYYY); don't abbreviate dates by leaving out the first two digits.
• Rather than putting the reference row at the bottom of the table and the references next to "Totals", make those references (#64-66) general references.
• The statistics for the 2008 season are incomplete. It should either be removed from the table or completed.
• To combat the whitespace issue, I would move the Murderers' Row picture up into the Table Key section. That way, the black and white picture is not right next to all the color pictures. Aesthetically, I think that would look better.
• As per WP:DASH, en-dashes should not be used "when the nearby wording demands it, e.g., he served from 1939 to 1941 and not he served from 1939–1941, in which from and to are complementary and should both be spelled out." This happens twice in the lead, "from 1974–1975" and "From 1921–1964".

• Overall, this is a good list.
• Since "seasons" is part of the title, the lead section should use the word fairly early and provide a link to Season (sports).
  • I extended the third sentence to provide a season link. Giants2008 (17-14) 17:55, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • That looks good. --Orlady (talk) 18:33, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• I don't like the way the "Totals" section at the bottom of the table looks. I haven't compared other "seasons" lists to see how it's handled elsewhere. However, I wonder if the summary of the records should be broken off into a separate table.
  • As a note, the Totals section here is handled in the same way as the other three baseball season FLs. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 02:11, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'd prefer to keep a similar format to the other baseball season lists, but if necessary I could try to build a small table for the all-time records. Giants2008 (17-14) 17:55, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Well, the fact that this was done in other FLs doesn't mean that it's the ideal way of handling the information. Even an excellent article can be improved. [wink]
        Given my WP display preferences and other display settings on the computer I'm using right now, the word "Totals" sits in the middle of a table cell with dimensions 2.9 inches high by 2.7 inches wide, and most of the table rows to the right occupy 2 lines (one of them is lines). That looks really dumb. Comparing with other MLB seasons lists, I see that the Red Sox list does not include this kind of information (that's a problem with that list, IMO); Philadelphia Phillies seasons has a less complicated history and thus a less complicated summary; and St. Louis Cardinals seasons has a complicated history, but because there are no images to the right of the table, the display is not bunched up the way it is in the Yankees article. I think the Yankees table would be more aesthetically pleasing if the summary of the statistics were in a separate table, and that some other sports seasons articles (such as Chicago Bears seasons) would also be improved by creating a separate table for summary statistics. (However, the format looks fine in articles such as Indianapolis Colts seasons.) --Orlady (talk) 18:33, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• What is the purpose/function of "References:[64]" at the bottom of the list table (in the "Totals" section)? (It seems out of place.)
  • I believe this is a general reference for the entire table. This has me confused, because I added it in response to another reviewer's suggestion. You are the second reviewer to tell me this should not be here. Giants2008 (17-14) 17:55, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

However, I think that it would be even better to provide a comprehensive note something like the following: "These statistics are from New York Yankees History & Encyclopedia,[64] except where noted, and are current as of August 12, 2008.

Thanks for your comments, a few responses: As for the opening sentence, it's the same opening sentence as all other FLs I've checked. I can change it if you feel it's necessary but I'm hesitant to break from convention. 170 m is the cut-off point for both the list and the navbox template, each FL seems to have its own cut-off depending on the city's amount of skyscrapers. As for the list width: I'm not sure how to make the tables the same width as the completed buildings one (which has a gallery at the side keeping it to a certain width), so if anyone knows how to do that it would be appreciated. Although other FLs also have different sized tables. --Joowwww (talk) 18:19, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Breaking from convention is good. And don't worry, as an FL director I wouldn't encourage you to do something that would end with the FLC failing.

I like it this way... looks good. I think that having Tim Duncan as US and USVI is unnecessary. I think that it could just be USVI with the footnote from the bottom and that's all. The footnote explains that he plays for the US internationally, and it explains that he's a citizen of the US... the US designation really is redundant. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 17:42, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chrishomingtang said that since he is a citizen of the United States, his nationality should be both. I still think it should only be ((VIR)) but he doesn't agree. -- K. Annoyomous24 _{GO LAKERS! Please reply on my talk page. Thanks.} 17:45, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you; redundancy has no place in a FL. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 17:46, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Plus, we need a verification that people who are born in Virgin Islands automatically become US citizens. --Crzycheetah 21:29, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The legal precedent for that is jus soli, or "right of the land", so that's what you should probably look for to find a reference for this. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 21:40, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Now sourced—Chris! _ct 23:11, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Now it can be just the ((VIR)) template with the footnote; no need for double nationalities. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 12:56, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should show double nationalities because it is clearer. Every other award pages are like that.—Chris! _ct 19:21, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Standards change. WP:FLAG states that "If these rules allow a player to represent two or more nations, then the eligibility rule that is most apt should be applied; most often it is the place of birth." In other words, one flag per person. Also, "Where flags are used in a table, it should clearly indicate that the flags represent sporting nationality, not nationality." KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 20:10, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So what should we do? -- K. Annoyomous24 _{GO LAKERS! Please reply on my talk page. Thanks.} 23:18, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I will change it.—Chris! _ct 23:23, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If Ben Gordon has a dual citizenship with both  United Kingdom and  United States, should we put both or just one? Also, if Patrick Ewing was born in Jamaica, but became a naturalized citizen of the USA before entering the NBA, should we put his born country or the country he was naturalized to when getting that award or honor? -- K. Annoyomous24 _{GO LAKERS! Please reply on my talk page. Thanks.} 00:03, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My preference would be that the correct nationalities be linked when they occur. For example, Hakeem Olajuwon is Nigerian. It should be Nigeria until such time in the table as he became a naturalized citizen. At that time, it should be changed, and the first year should have the footnote. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 00:08, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chrishomingtang told me that we need to use the flags of the nations they were born in. So do we use the nationality that they were when getting the award/honor or do we do what Chrishomingtang said? -- K. Annoyomous24 _{GO LAKERS! Please reply on my talk page. Thanks.} 00:10, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is confusing.—Chris! _ct 00:11, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chris, you said that we need to use the flags of the nations they were born in. on WP:FLAG, it writes most often. -- K. Annoyomous24 _{GO LAKERS! Please reply on my talk page. Thanks.} 00:12, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See the "Use of flags for sportspeople" section, where it says "Flags should illustrate the highest level the sportsperson is associated with. For example, if a sportsperson has represented a nation or has declared for a nation, then the national flag as determined by the sport governing body should be used (these can differ from countries' political national flags). If a sportsperson has not played at the international level, then the eligibility rules of the international sport governing body (such as IRB, FIFA, etc.) should be used. If these rules allow a player to represent two or more nations, then the eligibility rule that is most apt should be applied; most often it is the place of birth."—Chris! _ct 00:14, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment The table really should be sortable. Make a note about the 1999 lockout and remove all colspans and rowspans.--Crzycheetah 06:08, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But how is Chrishomintang and I supposed to tell the readers that there were ties in three of the years? -- K. Annoyomous24 _{GO LAKERS! Please reply on my talk page. Thanks.} 06:24, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The lead states it right now.--Crzycheetah 09:00, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DONE! -- K. Annoyomous24 _{GO LAKERS! Please reply on my talk page. Thanks.} 17:35, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted to the original version mostly because of aesthetic reason. I just don't think we should force the table to be sortable. Also, since some award pages also use colspans, we should keep it consistent.—Chris! _ct 18:23, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FL criterion 4 is "Structure. It is easy to navigate, and includes—where helpful—section headings and table sort facilities." It should be sortable if possible. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 18:42, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chrishomingtang, I think we shouls sort this table. As KV5 said, it needs easy navigation. If we don't, I just wasted 30 minutes sorting for no apparent reason. -- K. Annoyomous24 _{GO LAKERS! Please reply on my talk page. Thanks.} 18:45, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the table should be sortable if possible. But since we have colspans and rowspans to show that there are joint winners and the lockout in 1999, sortable table is not possible. Removing colspans and rowspans to force the table to be sortable is not a good idea either as readers might be confused with two 2000 award winners and no 1999 winners in the table. K. Annoyomous24, I am sorry that I wasted your 30 minutes, but I still think the original version is better.—Chris! _ct 20:43, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As Crzycheetah explained, those things are explained in the lead, which is why it's perfectly kosher to go back to the sorted version. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 20:55, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, those things are explained in the lead. But I think the list, especially a featured list, should also express the same things in the table. Is table sort function really that important here? I don't think readers will found the list hard to navigate if the table is unsortable. In fact, it is quite the opposite. Readers, who only look at the table, might be confused by the fact that there were two 2000 award winners and no 1999 winners and have to refer back to the lead for explanation.—Chris! _ct 23:00, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Crzycheetah, this portion is originally your review; what do you think? KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 23:15, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(→)Chris, you're right! Whenever readers get confused about anything, they can always refer to the lead. That's what the lead is for; it is a place where one finds answers. The sorting helps us find the names we're looking for quicker and see what team is represented the most. I am for the sorting function.--Crzycheetah 08:24, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, then how do we show co-winners if colspans can't be used?—Chris! _ct 04:56, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I don't want to use the sorting is that other award pages don't have sorting as well due to the use of colspans. Some examples are NBA Rookie of the Year Award and J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award, which also show co-winners.—Chris! _ct 17:47, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Colspans are usually used whenever we want to avoid repeating same info over and over. In this case, colspans are not used to indicate co-winners, they are being used just for the purpose of spanning; no more no less. The co-winners are mentioned in the lead, so if there is any confusion, the lead is there to help. As for other award pages, they should be sortable, as well.--Crzycheetah 23:01, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I will reluctantly change all of them to sortable tables.—Chris! _ct 01:21, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done —Chris! _ct 01:44, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, you're not done. You forgot to link the unlinked on the table. If you want me to do that for you, I'll be happy to. -- K. Annoyomous24 01:49, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, I mean I am done with the sorting. Linking the unlinked is another thing. :) And yes please help me with that. Thanks—Chris! _ct 01:54, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DONE! -- K. Annoyomous24 02:13, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comments
  • "...hurricane season, documents..." - comma unnecessary.
  • "most active Atlantic hurricane season in recorded history." this statement needs a reference.
  • "a record 4 storms " - four.
  • " effectively persisted " - did it effectively persist or actually persist?
  • The bold text is hideous. I don't want to see it used that way at all.
  • Shame Punta del Ingles has no article.
  • Nor Boca Madre.
  • "1430" needs a comma, i.e. 1,430 - are you using the ((convert)) template for all these?
  • Same for 1065.
  • And 1000.
  • "not reflected operationally" means what?
  • Don't think Category:Timelines is needed if you have Category:2005 timelines.
• The Rambling Man (talk) 11:01, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Addressed

Comma removed from the lead

"most active" claim cited specificially

"a record 4 storms" spelled out, but that necesitates that "a record twenty-eight tropical or subtropical storms" also be spelled out: Comparable quantities should be all spelled out or all figures

Commas added to numbers over 1000. I don't like the convert template because it makes the edit box difficult for new users.

All instances of "operationally" are revised for clarity. There were several, and were all equally unclear.

Category removed.

Not addressed

The two redlinks. I'll see if I can find enough to make articles for them.

I think that the bold text of storm formations, upgrades, and landfalls is standard throughout Tropical Cyclone timelines and I would like to discuss it at the WikiProject before changing it. Feel free to contribute.

Plasticup ^T/C 12:10, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you point me to another FL with this level of bold text please? Thanks. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:20, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As an FL director you know better than I do that there is no such article, but you also know that a lack of precedence is not an argument. I think that it is reasonable to allow the WikiProject have a full discussion on this matter. There is no sense in me making an arbitrary change now and then another change when the project develops a consensus. It might be prudent to revisit this particular issue in a couple days. Plasticup ^T/C 12:44, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, as FL director I am not commensurate as to the content and style of all 880 featured lists. Yes, by all means discuss this with the wikiproject but take heed, articles in breach of the WP:MOS will not be promoted. Simple as that. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:45, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nor would I expect them to be. The wikiproject is very active; I expect that we shall have an alternative within a couple of days and implemented shortly thereafter. In the meantime I look forward to the continued improvements that always come with featured content reviews. Plasticup ^T/C 12:51, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would also urge you to consider that you're using one method of identification for three different properties ("...all storm formations, upgrades, and landfalls are bolded...") and think about how accessible the emboldening really is when we also have WP:MOS#Colors ("...It is certainly desirable to use color as an aid for those who can see it, but the information should still be accessible without it....") and WP:BOLDTITLE#Bold title ("... Do not link words in the bold title..."). While not directly applicable here, the spirit of all this is that you can easily find another, more accessible and less aesthetically poor way of conveying this information. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:04, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't look like the wikiproject discussion is going to turn up a solution, so I have gone ahead and stripped the bold text from the main text. Let me know what you think. Plasticup ^T/C 15:30, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
