1952 Winter Olympics medal table[edit]

Nominator(s): Strange Passerby (talkcont) and H1nkles 03:33, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Original contributor: Andrwsc informed.

Another FLC from me, this time with H1nkles and an Olympic medal table list rather than a medal winners list. I think this meets the FL criteria; including 3b, as despite having only 13 entries, the main article is already very comprehensive and an FA and the prose here would probably be rather out of place to squeeze in there.

Resolved comments from Parutakupiu (talk) 19:55, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
;Comments:
  • In the first instance of "National Olympic Committees" you provide its abbreviation, but then you never use "NOC" again in the rest of the page ("nation" is used instead). If you don't intend to use NOC again, you don't need to give the abbreviation, but if I were you I would change all the "nation" instances for "NOC" which is more correct, in my point of view.
  • "There were 10 nations that won more than one medal." → "Ten NOCs won more than one medal."
  • Fixed, I left one instance where I felt "nations" worked better than NOC.
  • "After a 16-year ban from Olympic competition..." Sixteen? You mean since 1936? But there were no Games until 1948, so one cannot consider it a ban during that period. From what I know, Germany's ban began with the 1948 Olympics, the first after the Second World War. Try to clarify this.
  • Good point, changed "ban" to "hiatus"
  • "They won gold medals in both and two- and four-man bobsleigh events."
  • Oops good catch
  • "These medals would mark the first Olympic medals for the Netherlands." → "These medals were the first-ever Dutch medals at the Winter Olympics."
  • Fixed
  • figure-skater → figure skater;
  • Fixed
  • "... men's free skate program.";
  • Fixed
  • "They did this by dominating dominated the cross-country events...";
  • Fixed
  • That ref #2 anchor just below the medal table looks a bit lost there. Can't you find a better place?
  • Moved to the end of the introductory paragraph. Not sure of a better place for it but I agree, where it was wasn't good.
  • 1950-1990 → 1950–1990 (en-dash not hyphen);
    • That's a direct quote off the Olympic website; i.e. the IOC uses "1950-1990" with a hyphen. I'm inclined to not use an endash here as such, but would welcome other opinions. Strange Passerby (talkcont) 17:09, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Could you move ref #21 and #22 anchors to the end of the sentence? Ref anchors that source non-contentious material are better placed at the end of a sentence as per WP:INCITE;
  • Fixed
  • Specify that ref #5 is a Word document file;
  • Fixed but please check and see if it fits what you're talking about.
  • I noticed that you have two refs that come books (available online). Since you only use each of those sources one time in the Notes section, you could provide the full source info in this section, instead of the References section. Usually, that's only helpful if you have many refs from different pages of a book and you don't want to give the entire source info every time you use it.
  • Fixed
  • Any reason for the link to the "Historical Dictionary of the Modern Olympic Movement" lead to a section on the 1956 Winter Olympics?
  • Good catch, I don't know how that happened. I fixed it.

Comments
  • "30 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) participated in ... Of the 30 participating NOCs," repetitive and dull.
Fixed
  • "one medal, and athletes from eight of these won" unclear about "these" - reiterate NOC here.
Fixed
  • "There were 10 NOCs that won more..." -> "Ten NOCs won more..."
Fixed
  • "did not disappoint their fans " not encyclopedic.
Removed statement
  • US or Brit Eng? You have "meters" and "digitised" which are incompatible.
Fixed, I couldn't find "digitised" until I looked in the refs good catch.
  • Suggest linking "nordic combined" in the Highlights section.
Linked
  • "alpine skiing. She placed second" -> "skiing, placing second..."
I have a tendency to break up sentences, which is a bad habit, thanks for catching that one.
  • "eight out of a possible 12" 12->twelve here.
Fixed
  • Can we clarify that "hockey" is actually "ice hockey" for international readers?
The hockey has been iced
  • "Soviet team began to compete" do you mean that they actually entered the competition or that they became competitive? Not 100% clear for me.
I changed to the Soviet team entered the competition, which is to say that they had not previously competed. I hope that is more clear. If not I can change again.
  • "1950-1990" en-dash.
    • This was also brought up above by Parutakupiu. "1950-1990" is a direct quote from the IOC database, which is why I'd prefer not to change it to an endash, but if the consensus is that it should be changed, that's fine. Strange Passerby (talkcont) 02:26, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • For the record, Dabomb87 changed it to an endash using a script earlier, which I missed. I'm fine with leaving it as an endash, since it's already been changed. Strange Passerby (talkcont) 02:29, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • en-dash in ref 15 too.
Fixed

  • Highlights: "when she won three medals in alpine skiing, placed second in the downhill and third in the slalom and giant slalom." "placed" → "placing"? Seems to work better that way after the comma.
Fixed
  • "These medals were the first-ever Dutch medals at the Winter Olympics." Remove first "medals" as a redundancy (two in the same sentence, both serving as the subject).
Fixed
  • Comma after Jeannette Altwegg?
Fixed
  • In reference 18, Sports Reference is missing an s after the first name. Minor, but worth taking care of. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 22:25, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

1908 Summer Olympics medal table[edit]

Nominator(s): Miyagawa (talk) 12:08, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel that it is now inline with the existing Olympic medal table FLs (i.e. 1896 Summer Olympics medal table and 1976 Summer Olympics medal table). I've done some touchups back and January and some more recently, although most of the referencing was completed over a year ago (but fortunately archived).

While I believe it is inline with existing FL medal tables, it has been a couple of years since the most recent one was promoted, and so I'm more than happy to make changes. Miyagawa (talk) 12:08, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Would expect dates to be in British format, although as an international event, I'm torn.
  • I wondered about this myself, and decided in the end to stick to international so as to match the other medal lists.
  • Lead image doesn't need a full stop, and for medals do we talk about obverse rather than reverse like we do for coins?
  • Fixed.
  • "and an increase from two medals" from 2 to 146, certainly does qualify as an increase. Just reads a little strangely to me.
  • change the and to a semicolon, which I think improves it a little.
  • "occured" is missing an r. And I'm not keen on "dominance occurring" either.
  • Changed this to "Success occurred for the British team..." as on second read through it wasn't very npov.
  • Sorry, I don't like that much either, it's a little too passive. The British team were successful... they made it happen, it didn't just occur, you know what I'm trying (badly) to say? The Rambling Man (talk) 09:33, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • No problem, I've switched it to "Particular success was achieved by the British team..." Miyagawa (talk) 20:51, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "men's 400 meters" -> metres.
  • Fixed.
  • Actually, if you're sticking with international English, I guess this should be reverted back to meters. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:33, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Bronze col doesn't sort properly.
  • Nor does rank.
  • Inserted sort templates for those two, so it should all work fine now.
  • Refs 2 and 5 need an en-dash.
  • Fixed.

  • "The host nation, United Kingdom, dominated the medal table". Should "the" be put before the country name, like in the third paragraph?
  • Corrected as per suggestion.
  • "they only did not win the middleweight silver medal." This is the only part of the whole text I'd consider a touch wordy. How about "they won all but the middleweight silver medal."?
  • Thanks, every time I'd looked at the sentence I wasn't happy with it but couldn't think of a better way to say it. Have changed it to your suggested prose.
  • Medal table: "This information is provided by the IOC however the IOC does not recognize or endorses any ranking system." Three points here, two for the list in question and one for me. First, there should be some form of punctuation before "however"; I'm partial to the semi-colon here, but a comma would also work. Second, "endorses" should be singular. Third, does the IOC's (lack of) endorsement go for all the tables or just this one? This is different from the other Olympic medal table FLs I can recall, including one I worked on.
  • Fixed as suggested. Regarding the lack of endorsement, it's something that is listed on the archived olympic site here. But I wouldn't go as far as listing it on other articles unless the IOC state specifically somewhere that they don't recognize the table as a ranking system.
  • The links to the IOC's website are all dead. Would switching the deadurl=no parameter to yes get the WebCite links to be the main ones in those citations, so I'm not clicking on a dead link when I hit the first avaliable link to check a fact?

Oppose. Sorry to take a dump in the punch bowl, but I have now read both the List and Article versions of the 1908 Olys. Both are short. I think much better to combine the two and make the best "larticle" you can, not worrying about classification. Then run it through whatever process makes sense. Probably here (they are more liberal and will put up with a lot of prose in their list, as opposed to fancy shmancy article people and the converse). Other than that, it looked clean. Much prettier than the Campaigns of Suleiman. I guess a little thing, but "front and back" or "obverse and reverse", no? I really think you should combine the list and article. Found myself wanting more prose in this thing. And heck, how much list is really here? A medal table? I think Sandy would take that fine at the bottom of an article (we have aerospace articles with tables that dense at the the end.) but here is fine too. But I think the artifical split is a waste when we have a short article and...a table. Sorry...totally heart love of the topic. not love of star-collecting though.TCO (reviews needed) 06:24, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's not an issue of server space but of different pages or same pages. The advantage of same page is compare and contrast and ease of navigation. Advantage of separate pages has to do with topics that have grown over long or are very different. However in this case we have two articles (the nominal list and nominal article) that are both very short and very similar. I honestly think the reader is better served by combination. HAve the best table in the article and the best prose in the list. And that means combine. And if it gets unGodly long, split. But you are not there, yet!TCO (reviews needed) 06:56, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The problem isn't that there isn't enough room to place every medal table on every main Olympic article. The issue arises when you realise that you have 1908 Summer Olympics, 1908 Summer Olympics medal table, Bids for the 1908 Summer Olympics, List of 1908 Summer Olympics medal winners and then all the little nations at the 1908 Olympics articles. For every single Olympics there are a set of these and its become standard practice to split them all up in this way. Miyagawa (talk) 17:37, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Have to say that I disagree with the opposition in this instance. It's not like the main article has three lines of text and then the top-10 table. To me this is a valid split from the main article. It would be questionable if this was a 10- or 11-item list, but 19 is just enough that I don't think this is a 3b violation. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 19:06, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
My comment was not meant to be procedural. Just looking at the the articles, the article article and the list article, there is a big overlap of content and both are "short". I honestly think that from a reader standpoint (nothing to do with "rules") that benefit is made from merging. The 1908 Olys are a mystery to the modern reader. More than a century ago. Splitting what little content we have...is not helping.TCO (reviews needed) 19:11, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of stutterers[edit]

Nominator(s): PumpkinSky talk 22:47, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it meets or is close to FL status. I asked Dabomb87 to preview it and fixed concerns (see his talk page). He's already run his script. This is my first FLC so please keep that in mind. I assure you I'll work through all concerns as best I can. reviewed List of municipalities in the San Francisco Bay Area.

  • Remove period/full stop from lead image caption; it's not a complete sentence. (done)
  • "Stuttering, (alalia syllabaris)," - remove first comma (done)
  • "stuttering is unknown, both genetics" - comma should be a semicolon (done)
  • "essentially no 'cure'" - is "cure" quoted from somewhere? If not, remove the quotes. (done)
  • "Examples of people who were stutterers include:" - too wordy, consider Some stutterers include and remove the colon (done)
  • The dynamic list template should either be a hatnote or above the first table (hat preferred). (done)
  • Only one paragraph in the lead is not long enough. More coverage should be given to the contents of the list. (done)
  • Lifetimes with dashes should not be open-ended. It should either be 1982–present or born 1982. (done)
  • Years requiring "BC" should have a non-breaking space between the year and BC; ranges which cross between BC and AD need to have both notations. (this breaks the DTS template Dabomb told me I had to use to get BC dates to sort correctly, I think it's more important and better to not break the template)
  • Tables do not meet WP:ACCESS requirements (rowheaders and such); see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (accessibility)/Data tables tutorial for further information and directions. (done as best I understand it)
  • Copyedit all of the tables carefully; I see a few mistakes like "King George" instead of King George VI, "Muhammed Ali" instead of Muhammad Ali, and "fashion dessigner" instead of fashion designer. (done)
  • "American banker." - remove full stop/period (Vernon Hill's row) (done)

Hope these comments help. — KV5Talk • 02:19, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the input. I've marked the ones I did. Others will be done later today. I don't know what a hatnote is so I moved the dynamic list thing. What exactly do you mean by contents of the list to be in the lead? PumpkinSky talk 10:08, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
By a hatnote, I mean that the note would be the first thing in the list, above the lead and lead image, but where it is now is fine. As to the contents of the list, basically what would be helpful to the list's lead would be expanding and providing some further sourced information on some of the more famous stutterers, like the ones you've listed. They should be in their own paragraph (a featured list should ideally have 3 or more lead paragraphs). For example, you can talk about Demosthenes' pebble therapy; another suggestion would be to address King George VI's stutter, and you could even reference that a movie was made about it (all with references, of course). — KV5Talk • 11:17, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Worked all. Pls review again. PumpkinSky talk 23:43, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Really good job on the lead. I think it's much more explanatory now. (tks)
  • Open-ended dates still exist. (done)
  • Tables still need row headers; directions are in the tutorial above. (sorry but I simply don't see what's wrong, can you fix one so I can see)
  • "American diver." - remove period/full stop (done)
  • Check your formatting on dates: an example would be "10BC–54AD" - this should be 10 BC – 54 AD (again, that breaks the dts template Dabomb87 says I have to use to get BC dates to sort properly, maybe he and you can sort it out, because I don't know how to please two both of you on this)
  • "19??–present" - I don't think this is appropriate, but I don't really have a suggestion for something better. (agreed, leave as is)
  • "Greek Orator" - orator is not a title; no caps (done)
  • More explanation would be better in captions than just simple names. (done)
Hope this helps. — KV5Talk • 00:40, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think it is a very nice article, and I am this close to pledging my support, but I have a little question: Is there any reason that the last sentence of the lead ("Many people had...") doesn't have a citation after it? Bobnorwal (talk) 18:25, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I almost put a ref there but didn't because several of the people listed outgrew stuttering. But since you brought it up, I've added one, unused in the list before, from the National Institutes of Health, certainly a reliable source. It actually says MOST children outgrow it, vice many, but I've okay with saying many. If you want to change to most, that's fine. PumpkinSky talk 23:24, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • "to the point where an untrained ear can not identify a problem". Should "can not" be one word?
  • Cole Sprouse: "American actor, twin of Dylan Sprouse, became the richest teenage twins in the world". He was only part of the twins this describes, so an adjustment is needed.
  • In the Athletes table, Tiger Woods is listed before Bill Walton. This goes against the alphabetical order used everywhere else.
  • Winston Churchill: The note has either one parentheses too few or one too many.
  • Carly Simon: "recipient of ... Grammy Hall of Fame" isn't proper grammatically, I don't think. Try separating it from the other awards in this sentence.
  • Arthur Blank: Spell out NFL in his note.
  • References 25, 35, and 62 have parts of their titles in all capital letters, which they shouldn't be.
  • Reference 22 is missing a publisher (appears to be the Huffington Post).
  • Publisher of reference 25 (Entertainment Weekly) should be italicized since it's a printed magazine.
  • Publisher of reference 33 shouldn't be Chron; this is the Houston Chronicle, a newspaper. Italicize this one too.
  • Publisher of reference 34 should just be ESPN, not ESPN Sports.
  • Should be a space in GolfDigest in ref 37. The name of the magazine is Golf Digest.
  • If PEDA in ref 47 is an abbreviation for something, it should be spelled out.
  • What makes http://houbi.com/belpop/groups/arno.htm (ref 51) a reliable source? As a BLP in a sensitive list, it's particularly important that all of the sources are OK in reliability terms.
  • I see Time and TIME as publishers. Make them consistent throughout; I would de-cap the latter one (ref 62) myself.

Also, for the information of the other directors, I spot-checked sources for some of the entries since this is such a potentially problematic list if done wrong. Everything I looked at checked out. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 00:45, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed all except for the Churchill one because I don't see what you're talking about. Can you elaborate? PEDA seems to stand for nothing and be a take off on "teaching" as in pedagogue. Houbi.com is a Belgian Rock Music archive site. If this nor another ref is suitable I'll just move it to the talk page list and note it needs a better ref. PumpkinSky talk 01:22, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The Churchill note has parentheses like this: (1940–1945, (1951–1955). I'm thinking that the one before 1951 should go. As for Houbi, I don't think it's the best site to be using for an FL. If an alternate can't be found, moving it onto the talk page is probably the best solution. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 19:12, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of Front Mission media[edit]

Nominator(s): PresN 18:44, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi all, it's back to video game lists for me! Back in December LegaiaRules whipped up this list, and in March I restructured it after List of Final Fantasy video games, an FL I wrote. I didn't get a response from Legaia when I asked him if he wanted to nominate it a few months ago, so now that I'm done with the Hugo lists here it is! This list encompasses everything made relating to the Front Mission video game series, which is much more popular in Japan than in English-speaking countries. Have at it! --PresN 18:44, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from J Milburn (talk)
Generally looking very nice. A few thoughts-
  • "List of Front Mission media" should be "List of Front Mission media". I forget how that is done; have a root on Template:Italic title
This should be done with ((DISPLAYTITLE)). Regards.--♫Greatorangepumpkin♫Share–a–Power[citation needed] 20:01, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • "genres besides tactical role-playing into genres" Repetition
  • Can I ask why you have italicised the names of the mechas?
  • Ooh, tricky. The (fictional) convention depends on whether you treat them like ships (italics) or tanks (none); looks like the Gundam pages don't italicize so I'll go with that. Fixed. --PresN 20:57, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The line produced seven action figures, with re-releases of these figures sporting new paint schemes. Toy distributor Palisades released these figures overseas within days of the North American release of Front Mission 3 in 2000." Ref?
  • Turns out that for some reason, finding an RS on a small toy line released a decade ago by a bankrupt company is... nearly impossible. I got one that says that Palisades released them here; anything more needs non-notable hobby websites. --PresN 20:57, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • There's still one reference to it, sorry. J Milburn (talk) 10:35, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of Japan"?

  • The publishing company for the Korean versions of the novels. --PresN 02:20, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't understand footnote 43 ("Front Mission Dog Life & Dog Style 06 (프론트 미션 도그..6권". HaksanPublishing.)
  • Fixed; the "l" was missing from "url="
  • Hobby Link Japan?
  • Japanese retailer/wholesaler that sells action figures, models, and books in Japan and North America. It's a commercial source, used to verify that the product ever existed/who made it and when. --PresN 02:20, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mora?
  • Japanese online music retailer a la iTunes; I think it's superfluous to the iTunes ref so removed. --PresN 02:20, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of buildings by Charles Holden[edit]

Nominator(s): DavidCane (talk) 22:46, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This list is a companion to the featured article on British architect Charles Holden and presents a comprehensive list of all of the buildings built to his designs (many of which are listed buildings) as well as the cemeteries and memorials he designed for the Imperial War Graves Commission following the First World War. The layout of the page has been influenced by Grade I listed buildings in North Somerset, although I have not included grid references for the buildings as some of the buildings are private homes and others are not precisely known.

      • Does it also include all unbuilt buildings/projects? bamse (talk) 10:58, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        • The unbuilt projects are also complete. The list includes all of those for which he had a commission, but which were subsequently cancelled. There were a number of unsuccessful competition designs which are not included here (some are mentioned in the main article), but, for an architect working in the public sector, Holden seems to have been unusually lucky in that almost all of his projects reached completion. The most significant one that was not completed as originally conceived was the large scale plan for the University of London.--DavidCane (talk) 13:02, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Many of his buildings have been protected by being listed." and "Many of his buildings have been granted listed building status..." seems doubled.
  • I am not sure how familiar readers are with the meaning of "being listed". I think this should be explained shortly in the lead.
    • I have added a note and the listed building article is wikilinked in the test.--DavidCane (talk) 00:49, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • I realized that the listed building article was wikilinked. I just don't like to read another article in order to make sense of a sentence. The present note ("protection...") is good and gives an idea of what the listed status means. If possible, maybe you could mention "Special Architectural or Historic Interest" somehow in this or in an additional sentence. bamse (talk) 09:12, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • References should be added to the lead.
  • Holden's competition-winning Tudor Revival design for Bristol Central Library was described by as "one of the great masterpieces of the early Modern Movement" By whom?
  • "Grade I/II/II*" should be defined somewhere or their meaning wikilinked (if possible).
    • Note 1 covers this briefly and the listed building article in detail.--DavidCane (talk) 00:49, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Empty table cells should be filled with ((center|—))
  • The "Buildings" section should get an intro in the same way as those of "Cemeteries" and "Memorials".
    • Done.--DavidCane (talk) 23:54, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • What does "...influenced by European architecture." mean? Is Holden's architecture not considered to be European? bamse (talk) 10:36, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not sure how relevant the numbers of casualties/missing in this context are.
    • It gives an idea of the range of sizes of the cemeteries that Holden worked on.--DavidCane (talk) 00:49, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why is there no "Year" column for the last two tables.
    • Other than the odd year, the available data for the cemeteries does not provide dates for their completion. The memorials were constructed at the same time as the cemeteries they are in, but it is not exactly certain when they were built either (just circa 1928).--DavidCane (talk) 00:49, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Both are memorials to the missing from New Zealand. reads a bit strange. Possibly the New Zealand Expeditionary Force should be mentioned and wikilinked here.

bamse (talk) 22:48, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tending towards support, but I'll have another look at it in a couple of days. One immediate suggestion would be to move all images of buildings into the "Buildings" section and to have a generic image for the lead such as an image of Charles Holden or a map of building locations or an image of a typical stylistic element. bamse (talk) 10:56, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Had another look...and only one minor complaint.

For future situations: memoire-du-cyclisme can be considered a reliable source. It is backed by an organisation, the members are not anonymous, the content is not user-generated (except the forums), there is contact information, and the information is regarded highly accurate in the cycling community.

  • The wins and losses are the same nos?
No, wins are 9,945, losing 9,954; approximately .500
  • Hank Aaron's picture would serve better in the led.

  • Where and how the table keys are being used except for the last one? Can you please explain?
Yes, the asterisk is used in the Individual single-season records for triples. The others are abbreviations used throughout the article.
  • The column "Braves career" contains date ranges only which needs to be crippled per MOS:DATERANGE. For eg: dates within same century should be 1954–74, instead of 1954–1974.
Per what, specifically, in the MOS? A link would be helpful; MOS:DATERANGE is nonexistent.

  • "This list documents the superlative records and accomplishments of team members during their tenures as Atlanta Braves in Major League Baseball's National League East." The team wasn't always in Atlanta, and wasn't always in a division. A more accurate ending would be "of team members during their tenures as Braves in MLB."

There was, but then it became a deadlink =/. So I decided to make it like a tree link.

  • I notice you have a lot of secondary sources (rather than primary, like the awards' direct website). Could you try and convert the citations to the award show's direct websites (instead of sites like Awards Daily)? Primary is always better
A problem there is that quite a few of the award ceremonies cited in the list are pretty low-key and do not even have official websites, or posts about the nominations/wins get updated/removed soon (such as the Saturn Awards). Like for example, the Las Vegas Society and St Louis awards's websites only lists its winners [10] [11], which would be fine if 127 Hours had won all of its nominations. However, for something like the London Critics Circle I could source it through their official site, but with The Utah one, I used indieWIRE instead.

List of accolades received by The Young Victoria[edit]

Nominator(s): Ruby2010 comment! 04:31, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it to be completed and of sufficient FL quality. The lead summarizes the actual list while also adding new, relevant information (i.e. how many Oscars costume designer Sandy Powell now has etc). For the list, I strove to double cite everything with a primary and secondary source (with a few exceptions due to not being able to find suitable references). I modeled the article after other FLs based on film accolades, such as here and here. Please note that this is my first FL. Thanks to everyone for looking it over!

Comments: a few minor suggestions:

  • "The film starred Emily Blunt, Rupert Friend, Miranda Richardson, Mark Strong, Jim Broadbent, Harriet Walter, Paul Bettany, and Thomas Kretschmann, while Martin Scorsese, Graham King, and Sarah, Duchess of York served as its producers.[1]" I think that this sentence should be spilt. (ex . Martin Scorsese, Graham King, and Sarah, Duchess of York also served as its producers.")
  • There are quite a few instances of using "the film" or "it/its" in the first paragraph. I think it would be better to refer to it by name more often (A GK Films production, The Young Victoria was; The Young Victoria's theatrical release occurred)
  • Since the first paragraph also begins with The Young Victoria, you might wanna start the second different (for example: Vallée's movie has garnered)
  • There seems to be some overlink in the refs. (Variety in ref 4 and 7; Digital Spy in ref 32; MTV in 35; The Guardian in 18 and 20 and The Times in ref 15)
  • Not quite sure what you mean here. For consistency's sake, all the works/publishers for the refs are wikilinked (common practice in most articles). Unless you mean something else?
Per Wikipedia:OVERLINK, a work/publisher should only be linked once. (for example, if you cite People/Time Inc for ref 10 and then use EW/Time Inc for ref 52, the latter TI should not be linked)

List of Tennessee Volunteers head football coaches[edit]

Nominator(s): Patriarca12 (talk) 16:48, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it meets the FL criteria as I modeled it after a similar list on the same topic (List of Alabama Crimson Tide head football coaches). Any comments are greatly appreciated to perfect this. Thanks for the consideration! Patriarca12 (talk) 16:48, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Why are Division I and Football Bowl Subdivision separately linked to the same article?
Good call. Removed one of the links.
  • coach in compiling a record of twelve --> coach while compiling a record of twelve
Fixed
  • in seasons coached and games won --> in total number of seasons coached and games won.
Fixed
  • Is it necessary to bold the names in the table? We know that the list pertains to the coaches. You can probably included "plainrowheaders" in the table declaration and scope="row" in the rows
Done
  • Dates within the same century should be crippled. For eg: 1902–1903 --> 1902–03.
I do not necessarily have an issue with changing this. However, many of the other college football coaches lists include the full, not abbreviated years. If we do decide to change it here, I would like some sort of consensus for how the others should be formatted for consistency purposes.
That seems reasonable.
  • In the key box it says "elected" for the Hall of Fame. Inducted is always a better word.
Done
  • The Football Guide book, does it have any isbn, issn etc?
This is the annual media guide published and distributed by the UT athletic department. I cannot find an isbn or the like for it though.
Anything else? Like volume, issue date etc? — Legolas (talk2me) 05:43, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Added the Eds per the guide.
  • REf 5, online source should not be italicized like 2010 NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision Records.
Not quite sure how to format this. I thought it was correct in that it is an on-line version of the official record book, not just an on-line PDF.
If that is the case, make 2010 NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision Records as the main title of the url, not the pdf one because that's misleading. — Legolas (talk2me) 05:43, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ahh. I think I have this straightened out now.
  • Alt needs to be a little more explanatory I feel.

If I may step in on the next-to-last comment up there, I believe reference 5 may be part of a larger book. Italicizing the book title is correct if that's the case.

Comments – Scraping the bottom of the barrel to find anything to add to the above comments...
  • In the last sentence of the lead, I would remove the comma after Dickey's name. This is the only place in the lead where a serial comma is used in a list-like sentence; the change would make this consistent with the rest of the lead. Punctuation before a ref would be nice, but is no deal-breaker.
Fixed
  • Key: Second word of National Championships should be decapitalized as a non-proper noun. The lead doesn't capitalize it.
Fixed
  • Note 4: Put an en dash in "win-loss percentage", just like if an actual figure was given.
Fixed
  • Minor, but the state in the general reference from the school ("TN") should be spelled out.
Fixed
  • In reference 5, unless "The" is listed before National Collegiate Athletic Association as the publisher of the reference, remove it. Also, I don't think the abbreviations are needed here and in ref 15, since there are no other cites to items from those publishers.

Comments - In addition to the concerns above:
  • Johnny Majors last season was in 1992, when the SEC debuted divisions. Major's field for division championships should have "0" instead of the em dash.
Done
  • Commas are needed between separate tenures
Done
  • Coaches prior to 1916 should have em dashes for post-season stats, as the first bowl game, the Rose Bowl, wasn't played "openly" until then.
Done
  • Derek Dooley's term should read "2010–present" not simply 2010.
Done
Footnotes added
  • The SIAA did not award conference championships. From 1896–1920, coaches were not able to compete for a conference title so em dashes are need till then.
Done
  • The Southern Conference does not recognize conference champions until 1933. Again, coaches during up to 1933 were not able to compete for a conference title so em dashes are needed during that time.
Done
  • Unlike modern athletic conferences, the SIAA did not feature a separate conference schedule. The SIAA was more or less held a similar role to the present day NCAA regulating competition. Win, loss, tie, and percentage records need em dashes during SIAA seasons.
I do understand this concern. However, UT does make note of their SIAA victories in their media guide as conference victories. Since it is listed in their official sources, I feel they should be included in this article. Ultimately, I will agree to any sort of consensus on the issue though.
I was looking at the "All-Time Coaching Records" on page 162 of the media guide you listed as a general reference. Where did you find conference records for SIAA and Southern Conference games? NThomas (talk) 04:34, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Don't really know what I was thinking here. Guess I still had the LSU list I recently created still in mind which does list SIAA records in their media guide. For this I went through the individual season records in the guide from 1899–1922 in calculating SIAA records. If this is not appropriate for FL status, I do not have an issue with removing the information. Patriarca12 (talk) 10:43, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of songs in Rock Band 3[edit]

Nominator(s): –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 22:35, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because... erm... I think it meets the criteria. :) It has a well-defined scope (the songs on the Rock Band 3 disc), good prose (in my opinion), a lead which explains what the list is, and it looks nice. I recently added in the images which are next to the list as a way of making the article look more appealing than just a list... although the images are just of the artist, and not necessarily related to thee in-game song beyond that. If people in the discussion feel that they should be removed, I don't really mind. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 22:35, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think we need to borrow from the RB3 reception to talk about the critical response to the setlist, since that can be discussed in depth. Also, it may be worthwhile in talking about the DLC that HMX has considered Rock Band (and RB3 itself) to be a game platform that they can support indefinitely with songs, and while they are't pushing an RB4 out this year. --MASEM (t) 22:31, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Adding reception would make sense, sure. I'll try and add something later today or tomorrow. The way that HMX considers the series to be a "platform" seems like it belongs more in the Rock Band 3 and Rock Band (series) articles to me, though. I wanted to make the DLC section in this article focus specifically on what can be used in RB3 and what RB3-specific DLC is like, rather than discussing DLC for the platform as a whole, since that is (or should be) discussed in the series article and Complete list of downloadable songs for the Rock Band series. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 12:18, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Announcements: "The full setlist list was formally announced on August 25th on the Rock Band website." Don't think you need to put "list" if "setlist" is right behind it. Also, the th should be removed from 25th.
  • In the Queen photo caption, get rid of the contraction (isn't).
  • Downloadable songs: "Downloadable songs since the game's release includes, when appropriate...". "includes" → "include"?
  • Is it Pro Guitar or Pro guitar? I see the former in the table notes and the latter in the downloadable songs section.

    • done. Looks like the archive error was a copy-and-paste mistake. Anyways, I'm using "Pro Guitar" now because that seems to be how Harmonix capitalizes it at this page of their website.

The formatting of the Track_listing section should be fixed. The long vertical list of images doesn't make sense in context and ruins layout. Maybe a gallery would be better? Diego Moya (talk) 14:19, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the input! I think as a gallery it wouldn't look very good; how nice it looks probably depends on monitor size. As I said above, I'd be happy to remove them... do you think that that is the best course of action? I can't think of a better place to put them, and they're really just decoration with some "fun facts" in the captions so removing them doesn't really detract from the article. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 15:44, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm against deleting content for no good reason. No, it just needs to be put in a different format. The problem is that at standard resolution (I'm at 1024x768), at anything other than with a maximized window they don't align with the table so they look like a "long right-aligned list of photos with whitespace on the left". Maybe they could be scattered around the article so they aren't together, or their text could be extracted and the images placed in a gallery. Something that don't force HTML text reflow to mess up with the list structure. Diego Moya (talk) 18:01, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ooh... that is problematic on 1024x768 displays (my monitor is much wider than that, so the end of the images actually lines up perfectly with the end of the table). I'll look into it. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 21:51, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, in order for the table to look good on both 1024x768 and *whatever-my-15.6-inch-display-is*, all but like one or two images need to be removed. The remaining images, then, seem kind of out of place. I'd happily put them in a gallery, but I don't think a gallery here would pass WP:IG. I've removed the images for now (and since the captions are really kind of trivia-ish, the info isn't really needed in the article). I'd just added them before the FLC so the article looked nicer, but they do really make it look ugly on some displays. If you have any ideas as to how they, or the information in the captions, can be kept, I'd be happy to add it. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 22:14, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That same guideline suggests moving them to commons, and there's a template to link to them.i wouldn't like the pictures lost because of my feedback.Diego Moya (talk) 23:40, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the pictures are on Commons, but not in a single category. I mean, what would it be? "Pictures of artists featured in the Rock Band series"? It seems kind of arbitrary. They aren't screenshots or anything, and IIRC most of them are already in the article about the pictured artist. Begins to regret having put them in in the first place.Drilnoth (T • C • L) 12:56, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yea, from past discussions, we don't classify songs as being part of Rock Band or GH through categories, it would make no sense for the artists (or even photos of articles) to be categorized in the same manner. --MASEM (t) 13:23, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Up to seven players but only five instruments mentioned? Can you do multiple vocals or something? I guess so, considering the table says up to 3 vocal parts, worth expanding on this in the lead.
  • " the full Rock Band library consisting of over 2,000 songs by the time the game was released." is that referenced anywhere?
  • Any reason why Amy Whinehouse sorts by A and not W (which you'd normally expect for solo artists performing under their "own" name)?
    • That's how it sorts in-game (only "The" and "A" at the beginning of a name change the in-game sort order, to my knowledge, and those are accounted for in the table). I can change it because it isn't that big a deal, but I feel that reflecting the game's sort order would be worthwhile. The same goes for David Bowie, James Brown, John Lennon, etc. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 18:15, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    • I've removed the column. It was added by User:Wiki helper guy a little while ago (presumably to be consistent with Complete list of downloadable songs for the Rock Band series) and I filled in the fields. Thinking about it more though, I don't really see much point in keeping it; on the DLC list, it can be used to see what songs are compatible with Lego Rock Band, but that can't be saids for RB3 songs. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 18:24, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of Victoria Cross recipients (G–M)[edit]

Nominator(s): Woody (talk) 17:51, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Quick on the heels of the recently promoted A–F list, this is the second of the three alphabetical lists. The errors pointed out in the A-F list have been fixed here as well and I think it meets the FL criteria. Thanks for your time, Woody (talk) 17:51, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments quick ones
  • No images of the recipients?
  • Don't mix date formats in the references.
  • "a single action was 7" - > seven.
  • Why doesn't Temp. Corporal sort the same as Corporal?
  • Same with Lieutenant. In fact, perhaps you could explain the sorting of the Rank column to me?
  • Refs - sometimes you have pp.x and sometimes pp. x (i.e. there's a space sometimes, others not).

The Rambling Man (talk) 19:48, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The VC lists don't have images for two main reasons, 1) there aren't that many images of the recipients available, 2) they would make the table far too large to be navigable. Fixed the date and 7/seven. With regards to the refs it is the ((LondonGazette)) template that puts the spaces in. Personally I prefer no spaces but if you think it needs to be consistent I can add spaces to the non-template refs?
The sorting is fairly simple in its logic, it sorts by rank (using the Nato codes ie. OF-1 etc) and then seniority. (ie inter-service seniority so Navy, Army then RAF) So, take the corporals as an example, all of the corporal ranks are together and sorted alphabetically, Naik and Lance Daffadar are the Indian ranks for corporal which is why they appear between Corporal and Temp. Corporal. I could perhaps do some sorting trickery to make all of the Temps./Acting/Substantives sort together if you think it appropriate? The Lieutenants is a slightly separate issue in that there are Naval Lieutenants and Army Lieutenants with different ranks so they sort differently. Woody (talk) 11:55, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps (and this is just personal opinion, of course) you could add a note explaining the sort order? The Rambling Man (talk) 19:11, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
We have "The rank column lists the rank of the recipient at the time of the action and it sorts by rank and seniority of service and not alphabetically." Do you reckon I should expand on what rank and seniority of service mean. I wrote as someone with military knowledge and looking at it that sentence now, it probably does need some explanation. Woody (talk) 19:19, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think a shade more explanation wouldn't go amiss. The fact you had to refer me to Nato codes means that to a general reader, it could be difficult to grasp. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:23, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
How does this sound: "The rank column sorts by the rank of the recipient at the time of the action. This column sorts by the comparative rank of the recipient within the British Armed Forces command structure. Within the British Armed Forces the Navy is the Senior Service, followed by the Army and then the RAF." Woody (talk) 19:43, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That sounds perfectly splendid. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:52, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Jolly good, now added. Ta, Woody (talk) 20:19, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not quite understanding what you are asking? What do you want the reader facing text to be? I think the text should remain as is (Indian Mutiny) as that is what the sources used call it and that is what the British Armed Forces refer to it as. The specific list List of Indian Mutiny Victoria Cross recipients is at that title for precisely the same reasoning. Woody (talk) 17:17, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No I am happy with Indian Mutiny just a comment that some now consider it POV, but as the sources call it that change to support. Jim Sweeney (talk) 17:26, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

1972 Summer Paralympics medal table[edit]

  • Is there a translation for what DVS means (i.e. the German which when abbreviated becomes DVS)?
  • "This medal table ranks ..." as the last sentence in the opening para, this seems out of place, perhaps move this into the second para.

*"were awarded in 187 " the article appears to be written in predominantly BritEng, and I would therefore expect the word "medals" after "awarded" here.

    • Um, I don't think 575 athletes won medals, so "575 were awarded medals" would be wrong. Presumably, number of medals awarded across the 187 events was 575. Strange Passerby (talkcont) 08:49, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Typo in ref 2 - internationl.
  • I think this is a better ref for the javelin throw, and it should be 18.50 m, not just 18.5.

That would be beyond the scope of this list -as you say this article is about the medal table, listing every event in which only one or two medals were awarded is no more relevant here than listing every event where a gold medal was won. If it were only one or two events (as at modern day Games where 3 medals are almost always awarded) then it could be done like this but at the early Paralympics events with only one or two entrants were very common - Basement12 (T.C) 18:41, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I can tell it was known as both the Paralympic Games and International Stoke Mandeville Games (aka World Games for the Paralysed). The Games took place every year serving jointly as the Paralympics every 4 years (see the list at IWAS World Games) - Basement12 (T.C) 18:41, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of National Treasures of Japan (writings: Chinese books)[edit]

Nominator(s): bamse (talk) 15:28, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is a list of manuscripts of old Chinese books that have been designated as National Treasures of Japan. Three types of manuscripts are included: those created in China, those copied in Japan and some of the oldest printed editions from the Song Dynasty. The list has been modelled on other featured National Treasure lists. bamse (talk) 15:28, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Giants2008 (27 and counting) 22:15, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
  • Add "the" before "7th century Tang Dynasty"?
  • "or are Chinese printed edition." "edition" → "editions"?
  • Usage: Add "by" to "sortable pressing the arrows symbols"?
  • Chinese manuscripts: Excess word in "One of the most most well-known missions...".
  • Don't need a second Tang Dynasty link here.
  • "Twenty Chinese books National Treasures...". "books" → "book"? There's something similar in the next section.
  • Wang Bo collection vol 29, 30: Comma needed after "one verse from the biography section".
  • "Elegant Orchid" isn't sorting in the intended order, perhaps because of the quotation mark.
  • Japanese manuscripts: Period missing after "At first the curriculum consisted mainly of Confucian Classics and Chinese history".
  • "consisted of Chinese works and scholarly collections were dominated by Chinese secular works." Add "that" or "which" before "were dominated".
    • This would change meaning. In this sentence "collection" has the meaning of "library", so "scholarly collections" is a subset of all libraries. Would it be clearer if split in two sentences: In the Heian period, the majority of works held in libraries (both those produced in China and those copied in Japan) consisted of Chinese works. Scholarly collections were dominated by Chinese secular works. or if "collections"->"libraries"?
  • Kanen: Is "the Three Kingdoms of Japan and (symbol) China" missing anything, or is this correct?
    • Removed the "symbol". Nothing was missing.
  • In this table: the books by Oe no lekuni don't seem to be sorting properly by author (diacritics will cause this).
  • Song printed editions: Remove comma after "when a large number of dharani known as Hyakumanto Darani".
  • No need for a second Chinese Classics link in this section.
  • The third table has some odd sorting in the format column. May need a sort template for the numbers.
    • The format columns are not meant to sort by numbers (which would be less useful, because, say how do you compare three scrolls with two books, etc). As explained in the Usage section the format columns sort by the type of manuscript: "books/scrolls/other". As for the third table, all entries are of the same ("book") type, so sorting is not really useful here. If you wish, I can make that column unsortable in the third table. bamse (talk) 19:59, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note 2 is missing a period at the end.
  • Notes 6 and 7 could use some "a"s in "designated as National Treasure".
  • Note 12: Add apostrophe at end of "monks"?
  • References 20, 25, and 59 could use PDF designations, like ref 3 has. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 14:56, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes its done as I can see, however another query. Some of the books have just the year of the publication while some have exact dates. As far as I can see for them, Google books did not list any date when they were written. Can you please correct them? — Legolas (talk2me) 05:53, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I used this tool for creating the bibliography. Honestly I don't know where it takes the month/day information from, so I asked the creator of the tool (who has not been active on wikipedia since May 7, 2011). Since year information is sufficient and since the tool sometimes created wrong dates (day=32), I got rid of the months/days. bamse (talk) 12:42, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks. As for the red links, these are temples and museums which house or own National Treasures and as such are relevant and will get their wikipedia article eventually. I am planning to create articles for all shrines/temples/museums that have National Treasures of Japan. In fact, I recently wrote Omura Shrine and Anraku-ji (Ueda). It'll take some time before all of them have a wikipedia article though. In order not having to put back wikilinks later, I'd prefer to leave the red-links in there unless that's an issue for FLC. bamse (talk) 08:39, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
In this narrow issue, I have to disagree with Boneyard90. I would have thought that Wikipedia:Red link suggests a kind of fuzzy logic? In each instance, Bamse is likely able to explain and defend the red link as a positive element in the current state of this article. For example, in the Japanese manuscripts section, the red link for Daigaku-ryō caught my attention. This was an article I intended to create some time ago -- in fact, I thought I did create this article at the same time I developed Yushima Seidō; but I was distracted. The red link served as a reminder and I immediately set about creating a stub ... which is a good example of what a red link is supposed to do. --Tenmei (talk) 13:14, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I wonder if one or two sentences might be added to the last paragraph of the introduction of this article (and its corollaries)?
  1. The comprehensiveness of the current list is explained clearly, but I wonder if some kind of caveat like ((dynamic list)) would be perceived as timely? as an invitation? as a distraction? Some variation on these words is worth considering: "This is an incomplete list, which may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries."
  2. I also wonder if the overview of this subject would be enhanced by a sentence which explained that the official listings do evolve as part of an on-going process? Compare National Treasures of Japan#Designation procedure. In other words, the Agency for Cultural Affairs is likely to designate one or more additions to this list in 2012 or at some other time in the future. Compare National Research Institute for Cultural Properties.
  3. I wonder if a "See also" section should mention Independent Administrative Institution National Museum, Tokyo Research Institute for Cultural Properties, Nara Research Institute for Cultural Properties, etc.?
These suggestions present issues of judgment and focus. --Tenmei (talk) 12:17, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your suggestions and support. As for ((dynamic list)), my understanding is that this template is for lists that are inherently incomplete (List of female tennis players,...) and whose inclusion criterion often is the existence of a wikipedia article. This list however is complete and in fact is not changing on short timescales. In the 21st century, between one and five National Treasures were designated each year. There are 13 Lists of National Treasures of Japan, so any of these lists is updated on average only about once in 4 years due to new designations. I added a see also section per your suggestion (didn't know we had an article on "Independent Administrative Institution National Museum" and in fact had never heard of this title before). As for your second suggestion, it is kind of implied by the language and tense used in the intro: "...have been designated...", "...items are selected...". Do you think that a more direct statement is necessary? bamse (talk) 12:53, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No changes are necessary. These suggestions only demonstrate engagement with an open-ended question -- musing, speculation, wondering about what might be marginally better? Your good judgment is unquestioned.

As you know, the last sentence of National Treasures of Japan#Designation procedure is: "In the 21st century, between one and five properties were designated every year.-- 国指定文化財 データベース, Database of National Cultural Properties.

Is it likely (or possible) that a reader might profit from reading a variant of this sentence at the end of the last paragraph of the introduction? It's just a question? "No" is a reasonable and acceptable answer. --Tenmei (talk) 15:02, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, it would be good to have a sentence like that referring to "writings: Chinese books" only (i.e. to the items in this list). However, due to the small number of Chinese books NT (56 versus more than 1000 NT as a whole), I feel that we can't have a meaningful statement like this because of a lack of statistic samples. (Does this make sense?) bamse (talk) 15:13, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Let's agree that this is a trivial issue; and yes, I defer to your good judgment. In the future -- perhaps in 2012, we may revisit this if you or I stumble across an on-point citation in a credible source? --Tenmei (talk) 16:46, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed! bamse (talk) 20:55, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of Croatian submissions for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film[edit]

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it meets the FL criteria and closely resembles similar FL articles such as List of German submissions for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and List of German submissions for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

  • "It was not created until ... Award, was created for non-English speaking films" - "created" in quick repetition.
  • Is it Marshall or Marshal? Our own article redirects Marshall back to Marshal...

The Rambling Man (talk) 16:30, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Introduced" is now used to avoid repetition.
  • "Marshal" is correct per multiple sources, including film.hr, The Guardian and IMDb. Fixed accordingly. GregorB (talk) 16:47, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on the name of the organization that selects these films. It looks, from what's on the talk page, as if a Wikipedian translated the name of this organization themselves. And then the initials obviously don't match. I assume they represent the name in the original -- but then there's no mention of what that is... Honestly, I don't know the style guidelines on this, but I'd like to see it resolved before I can pledge my support. Bobnorwal (talk) 02:08, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The organisation's full native name is Hrvatsko društvo filmskih djelatnika or HDFD for short, which literally translates as Croatian Association of Film Workers. Since an official translation of their name does not seem to exist there are several variants used in English, and Film Artists' Association of Croatia seems to be the most common [23], [24], [25]. I've added the full native name to explain where HDFD comes from. Timbouctou (talk) 02:59, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment overall, the article appears well written, comprehensive but not overwhelming, containing a properly weighted lead. In those terms the first three FL criteria are in my opinion met. I would prefer to see the last sentence of the second paragraph cited - the references are already there in the table, but still... Otherwise the nomination seems fine to me.--Tomobe03 (talk) 20:31, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, I'm not sure about that. The last sentence of the second paragraph would require eight references which would make it look like an overkill. Besides, the lede is just a summary of the body per WP:LEAD and shouldn't require referencing if what it states is supported by sources in the body. Timbouctou (talk) 13:35, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, WP:LEADCITE does provide for omission of citations in the lead on "case by case basis" if there is such a consensus. I personally don't think this to be a contentious issue really. Should a handy source amalgamating the information become available I suggest using it in this place, just to dot all the i's and cross all the t's.
Support, as I see no other issue left to address at this point. Good job.--Tomobe03 (talk) 22:00, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    • Since achieving independence from Yugoslavia, Croatia has submitted 19 films... - This sentence should have an end date, something like "as of 2011, Croatia has submitted 19 films since independence..."
      • Fixed. It's as of 2010, the 2011 submission is yet to be determined. Timbouctou (talk) 05:52, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • In the references, frst citation is for submissions and the second one is for nominations, is this a correct guess on my part? There should be such note that states it clearly.
      • Yes you are correct. I've added a note and it should be fixed now. Timbouctou (talk) 05:52, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Current reference for Countess Dora's submission leads me to the home page of the official website of croatia-film where I don't see anything that shows that film was submitted. A note in the reference should be added to navigate the reader to the right page.
      • Um, I'm not sure what to put in the note. It is a partially translated flash site talking about the Croatia Film production company. Assuming you clicked the English-language main page, you should go to Production→Awards and Recognitions and then in the window that opens scroll down to the year 1993 and "KONTESA DORA" where it says Hrvatski predstavnik za Oscara (Eng: Croatian submission for the Oscar award). I don't know why that bit is not translated. Timbouctou (talk) 05:45, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        • The simplest way would be to change the title of the link to "Croatia Film - Production - Awards and Recognitions". That would help the readers to go straight to production.--Cheetah (talk) 06:30, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster (L)[edit]

Nominator(s): — KV5Talk • 13:24, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Current open nomination has three supports and no open comments. As always, concerns to be expediently addressed. We're past the halfway point (this is list 10 of 18 in the series). — KV5Talk • 13:24, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - thought I'd take this opportunity to learn a bit about how to read baseball stats!

The Rambling Man (talk) 17:05, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ironic that the answer to question 1 is math, while the problem with question 2 is that I can't do it.
I've fixed LaJoie. As to Lush, it's a simple math problem, just requiring some addition and then division, as well as knowing where to look. On Lush's page at Baseball-Reference, there is a table entitled "Standard Fielding", which lists games played by position in each season. From 1904 through the midpoint of 1907 (all the portions labeled PHI for Philadelphia), Lush played in 64 games at first base (62 in 1904 and 2 in 1906), 54 games at pitcher (7 in '04, 2 in '05, 37 in '06, and 8 in '07), and the rest in the outfield.
The games at each outfield position are designated in the second "G" column of that table (to the right) as, for example, "0-6-16", meaning 0 games in left field (the leftmost number), 6 in center field, and 16 in right field. In sum, Lush played 51 games in right field and 11 games in center field for the Phillies. 64 1B, 54 P, 51 RF, and 11 CF equals 180 total games; 64/180 = 35.5%, and 54/180 = 30%. As per the footnote, "players are listed at a position if they appeared in 30% of their games or more during their Phillies career", so even though Lush played almost as many games in right field as he did at pitcher, he didn't break the bright-line criterion (there are very few players who break the line at three positions), and his contributions on the pitcher's mound were arguably greater due to the no-hitter he threw.
If I've jargoned you out, let me know. — KV5Talk • 01:43, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments quick ones...
  • Don't think you need the cap note at all, the title (including "captains") is clear and unambiguous. Perhaps include the articles you link to as See also links if necessary.
  • Don't like "This list of..." to start with, we stopped doing that a year or so ago.
  • "captained France national football team to victory a" in English we'd say "captained the French national football team to victory"
  • 2 dab links - mediator, Pierre Bernard.
  • " only 104 have served as captain of the national team." ditch "only". 1 in 8 isn't "only"-worth, and this is really POV.
  • You link the first football to Football (soccer) then have a direct link to association football. Don't overlink, and be consistent.
  • Merge first two sentences of the History section.
  • 1904... went on .. in 1895.. back in time?
  • "The team's next captain after Canelle was Pierre Allemane. Allemane had previously captained the..." -> "The team's next captain was Pierre Allemane who had..."
  • Explain FIFA before you abbreviate it.
  • "in a major international competition " what is a "major international competition"?
    • It is listed as a reference right next to the statement and explained there. — JSRant Away 23:16, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "alternated between the duo of Zinedine Zidane and Patrick Vieira" no need for "the duo of"
  • On my screen, Henry's picture is forcing the references to be squashed up on the left hand side. Consider using ((clear)) if you want to keep the image.

  • History: "The first player to captain France in a major international competition while playing under FIFA was Andre Francois. Francois...". Try not to have the names repeat like this in the sentence transition.
Done. — JSRant Away 21:51, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Same goes for "One of the first permanent captains of the national team was Jean Ducret. Ducret...". This could probably be made into a single sentence without much trouble.
Done. — JSRant Away 21:51, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Don't need to link World War II twice in the span of two sentences. It may not even require a link at all, since it's such a well-known subject; how helpful is the link?
Done. — JSRant Away 21:51, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "the captaincy regularly alternated between Zinedine Zidane and Patrick Vieira. Vieira...". This is like the first two comments from me. Switching Zidane and Vieira around in the first sentence seems like the easiest possible fix.
Done. — JSRant Away 21:51, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't understand "injuries propelled his stint as captain". Propelled in this context would mean something different than what I think the intention is (that the injuries prevented him from serving as captain at that event). Was "curtailed" or similar what you meant?
Done. — JSRant Away 21:51, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • List of Captains: We already know from the title of the page that this is a list. Does it really need to be repeated here? I feel this would be better served as Captains, which is a bit simpler.
  • In references 7, 9, 21, 25, 27, 30, 34, and 41 should all have the publishers italicized, as they're all printed publications.

Oppose for now – Very surprised to find myself here because I had high expectations for this list. It's as comprehensive as any list I've seen, and the referencing is of good quality. However, there are too many prose glitches at this time for me to be comfortable seeing a promotion here.
  • "which achieved her global recognition." I'm not sure about this; how about "gave her global recognition."?
  • Very minor point, but in the lead photo caption, the "a" before MTV Video Music Award should be replaced with "an" (the one before the Grammy is fine as is).
  • "The Billboard Music Awards is sponsored by Billboard magazine...". "is" → "are"? Check the others awards too, because many of them appear to need similar edits.
  • Elle Style Awards: Should "the" be added before Style Icon Award in the prose?
  • Golden Apple Awards: Definitely add "the" before Sour Apple Award in the prose.
  • Golden Globe Awards: Remove "for" from "Madonna has been nominated for six times".
  • Japan Gold Disc Awards: "including five times Artist of the Year award". → "including the Artist of the Year award five times"?
  • MTV Awards: "Madonna has been honored for Artist of the Millennium in 2000." "for" → "as"?
  • MVPA Awards: Add "the" again, this time before Music Video Production Association.
  • NRJ Music Awards: Missing "was" in "Since the show created in 2000".
  • Pollstar Concert Industry Awards: Another "the" needed before "concert industry". Also remove "for" before "thirteen times".
  • Porin Awards: Should "The Polin is Croatian music award" be "The Polin Award is a Croatian music award"? Also, add another "the" right before the group names.
  • Recording Industry Association of America: "for selling more albums than any other female artist in rock category during the century." Add "the" before "rock category".
  • Rockbjornen: "one of the largest newspaper in Nordic countries." Make "newspaper" plural.
  • The Sun Bizarre Readers Awards: "The Sun Bizarre Readers Awards is a polling awards...". Lot of singular/plural confusion here. How about "The Sun Bizarre Readers Awards are polling awards..."?
  • TRL Awards: Add "a" before Lifetime Achievement Award in text?
  • VH1 Do Something! Awards: Remove apostrophe and s from VH1 in the first sentence.
  • VH1 Fashion Awards: Do the same here, and add one more "the" before "most fashionable".
  • Remove all caps from reference 4.

I'm certainly willing to re-evaluate things once these are looked at, and this is a list that will probably deserve a star when that happens. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 02:57, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Where is entrepreneur referenced?
  • Ok, a general comment, things like her date of birth, place of birth etc isn't referenced in the lead. I guess this is because you think it's fine because it's referenced in the main article. I'm not sure that's okay if this is supposed to be a standalone list. For instance "which gave her global recognition" is not referenced here.
  • "Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy" why only the first half linked?
  • "one of her most critically acclaimed release," -> "releases" and prove it.
  • "the second top-selling female artist in the United States" ever?
  • "To date, Madonna ..." probably best to put a "As of July 2011" or similar here.
  • "American Moviegoers' Awards" with or without apostrophe?:C
  • " Madonna has won Best Actress award for her role in Evita (1996).[4]" no need (imo) for "has".
  • "for favorite shows, performers and moments " is this a quote? it sounds very chintzy. Can you reference it directly please.
  • "was the official industry award ceremony in Greece," for what? Referenced?
  • ASCAP - a general repetition of "annual" since you've said that in the higher level section.
  • "Year-End Charts. " are they capitalised for a good reason?
  • What's a Boxscore?
  • "Best International Female in 2001 and International Female Solo Artist in 2005.[17]" table says 2006.
  • No need to abbreviate ZPAV as you never use it subsequently.
  • "are presented annually since 1941" -> "have been presented..."
  • "usually in recognition not of performance but of behavior" needs a reword and a citation.
  • "Madonna has won the Sour Apple Award " remove has.
  • HFPA - see ZPAV note above.
  • Hungarian awards, same album nominated twice in consecutive years?
  • BASCA - see ZPAV above.
  • "are a major music award" who said "major"?
  • And I guess it should be "a music award ceremony held.."
  • "The Juno Awards is a major music ceremony.." again, major? etc.
  • LVFCS - see ZPAV.
  • "to give recognition to Asian and international icons in achievement, cinema, fashion, humanitarian, and music" (a) must be a quote ("icons" is not encyclopedic) and (b) "icons in ... humanitarian..."? Not grammatically correct.
  • " to celebrate both local and international acts" again, must be a quote from the award people. ref needed.
  • "Nominated artist and work" should that be "Nominated artist or work"?
  • Not sure EMA is ever used as an abbreviation.
  • " to celebrate the top music videos of the year." quote again.
  • "It was first held at the end of the summer of 1984, and originally as an alternative to the Grammy Award in the video category." is this cited?
  • "to honour " sudden switch of ENGVAR.
  • "Madonna was awarded by the magazine as the Artist of the Decade in 1989" -> "Madonna was given the Artist of the Decade award by the magazine in 1989"
  • "to acknowledge the efforts and creativity of musicians in the online world, and the creativity of music industry designers and programmers" sounds like a direct quote, so cite.

Thank you for the comments RM, I have addressed each and every one of them. The MTV Asia Awards have been removed since it was sourced to Madonna's brother Christopher Ciccone's book, which I presumed will be COI as per RS. Nominations and Wins have been updated accordingly. As for the description of the awards, some of them were sourced by the winner/nomination pages at the end of the description, I have made them in-line. For the rest, new sources have been added. As for the grammar issues, I have done to the best of my abilities, wherever you find discrepancy, I'm open to any suggestion that you have. For the lead description of Madonna's bio, I have added some sources, while removing the bit about entrepreneur as that would open another can of worms. Its not exactly related to the award page also since she never received any award for it, and to bring it in context would have been difficult, hence removed. — Legolas (talk2me) 07:04, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • "the newly-formed Commonwealth of Massachusetts elected John Hancock as its first governor." The hyphen after -ly should only be there if it's in a compounding part of a sentence. It's borderline as to whether that's the case here.
  • Popham County: "and was replaced by Ralegh Gilbert. Gilbert...". It would be better without the repetition in the sentence transition.
  • Governor-General of New England: Hyphen in "recently-failed" is one that I'm pretty sure should be removed.
  • Massachusetts Bay Colony: William Phips doesn't need a link here since he was already linked in an earlier section.
  • Dominion of New England: Charles II was linked in the last section, and also doesn't need a second link later.
  • Province of Massachusetts Bay: I see another Phips link and a "newly-formed" that matches the one in the lead.
  • At the bottom of the table, the page range needs an en dash.

Comments from WFC

The list is excellent, and most of the nit-picking has already been covered. Just a few loose ends to clear up before I support.

  • Richard Greene's article states that he died in October 1622, but this list says November 1622. The former might be wrong, but if it's correct, I assume that he didn't remain as governor for the extra month? There may be one or two other situations like this, I didn't check everyone to see if they had died.
  • On that note, it's possibly worth denoting where someone died in office, for instance with a †. This would have the added advantage of helping a reader more easily understand why there is sometimes a more detailed date within the same table, such as the May 1657 entry in the Plymouth table.
  • For notes 57 and 58, de facto and de jure tenures appear to be different. Assuming this to be the case, would it be possible to give the latter as part of the notes for completeness? —WFC— 15:51, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your review! A few comments in response:
  • Greene's date of death is actually uncertain. Bradford's record, on which the Greene article relies, implies it occurred in September or October 1622. I have adjusted that date in this article to reflect the uncertainty. Sanders is described as Greene's replacement, but no precise date of assumption is given.
  • I've added indications when various officeholders died in office or left without immediate replacement, and added more detailed dates to the Plymouth table.
  • As far as the de jure ends of the royal governance are concerned, I've not seen any source indicating when the Gage and Oliver commissions were formally terminated. (This information might exist, but it's probably buried in the colonial office records. Gage's biographer John Alden, for example, does not report when his commission ended, only noting that he continued to technically hold the office at least into 1776.)

1998 Asian Games medal table[edit]

Nominator(s): — Bill william comptonTalk 15:27, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The list contains sufficient entries, completely sourced, good accompanying prose, images, etc. In nutshell meets all of the FL criteria. I'll try my best to answer each query rises during the course of nomination, thanks. — Bill william comptonTalk 15:27, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I guess there is no standard. Some use "these", while at many places "this" is also in use. Even on Wikipedia there is no fixed convention, I guess I'll have to discuss it with my project members (WikiProject Olympics), for now I've made it neutral with "This edition of the Games".
Resolved earlier comments from Strange Passerby (talkcont) 11:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
*Oppose for now. I disagree that there is "good accompanying prose", at least right now. Some comments: Strange Passerby (talkcont) 11:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Removed
    • "competing in 376 events in 36 sports and 44 disciplines" — "in 376 events in 36 sports" or "in 376 events in 44 disciplines", but there's no need to mention both, imo. Strange Passerby (talkcont) 11:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done
    • "This Games remarked as the debut of three new sport events—squash, rugby union and cue sports—in the list of Asian Games sports, squash was included after the seven years of lobbying by Asian Squash Federation." Grammar. Semicolon before "squash was included", perhaps. Strange Passerby (talkcont) 11:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done
    • "Athletes from 33 countries won at least one medal, leaving eight countries without a medal, and 23 of them won at least one gold medal." This sentence reads weird. You've taken "athletes from countries" and "countries" and put them in the same sentence, and to compound that use "of them" later in the same line. Of what? Athletes? Strange Passerby (talkcont) 11:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done Change to NOCs
    • "South Korean athletes claimed 164 medals in total, including 65 golds and earned second spot in medal table." Grammar - remove the comma or add a second one after the gold medal clause. Strange Passerby (talkcont) 11:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done
    • "Host nation Thailand improved its medal table rank three folds as compare to last Asian Games held in Hiroshima, where it finished at the twelfth spot." It's "threefold", not "three folds"; I'm also not convinced you can use threefold on position. Threefold means "three times". Strange Passerby (talkcont) 11:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done
    • "two bronze medals were awarded per event in ten sports: (...) sanshou event of wushu" An event is not a sport. Use "wushu (sanshou event only)", perhaps. Strange Passerby (talkcont) 11:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done
    • "Additionally in swimming, there was a three-way tie in men's 100 m freestyle event, thus three bronze medals were awarded; also a tie for second position in women's 100 m freestyle event meant that no bronze was awarded." Grammar: "also" is unnecessary here. Strange Passerby (talkcont) 11:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done
    • "In wushu, a tie for silver medal position in men's changquan discipline of taolu event" What? An event is categorised under a discipline, which is categorised under a sport. How can an event have different medal disciplines? Clarify. Strange Passerby (talkcont) 11:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done
    • "also a three-way ties in the men's nanquan discipline of the same event, meant that three bronze medals were awarded." Again, extraneous "also"; "three-way ties" is grammatically incorrect; remove the needless comma after "event". Strange Passerby (talkcont) 11:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done
    • "In gymnastics events many shared medals were awarded; a tie for third place in—horizontal bar, pommel horse, rings, women's vault and women's floor exercise—meant that two bronzes were awarded for each event and no silver was awarded in pommel horse." Emdash is used incorrectly here. There is no need for it. Rephrase entire sentence. Also explain how a tie for third place led to no silver being awarded in the pommel horse event. Strange Passerby (talkcont) 11:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done
    • "A four-way tie for second position in parallel bar meant that no bronze medal was awarded." Use "In the parallel bars event", or "on the parallel bars", but not "in parallel bar". Strange Passerby (talkcont) 11:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done
    • The "Changes in medal standings" section needs a total rewrite, I cannot understand a single sentence of it. Likewise rewrite the accompanying note, which is also hard to understand. Strange Passerby (talkcont) 11:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've tried to make some changes, please take a look.

Still needs some language cleanup and copyediting, imo. Still numerous grammar issues and sentence structure problems. For the most part the minor issues have been settled but I'd like to see the article read more like readable English before supporting. Strange Passerby (talkcont) 12:57, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Now the article has been gone through copy editing, would you please reconsider your opinion? — Bill william comptonTalk 22:07, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Nitpicking here, but "33 NOCs won at least one medal (23 won at least one gold medal); eight did not win any medals." – don't start a sentence with a number. I would also rephrase "forcing the country to share last place in the medal table with four other nations." to something like "placing the country joint-last in the medal table". Also, the single note left in the article remains pretty poorly written and hard to understand. Once these three points are fixed, I'll support. Also note that I can't speak for WP:ACCESS but that distribution map might or might not have some issues. Strange Passerby (talkcont) 01:53, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Changed the whole line to "Athletes from 33 NOCs won at least one medal, and athletes from 23 of these NOCs secured at least one gold; athletes from eight NOCs did not win any medals", rephrased the line as you suggested and tried to rewrite the note (if still seems skimpy, then please change it as you think would be appropriate). WP:Access or more precisely WP:Color shouldn't be a problem as color is not the only method used to show the medalists, accessible symbol like * (gold medalist), † (silver medalist), ^ (bronze medalist) and # (no medal) are also used there. I'm really happy that you are helping in the improvement of this article and if still you need something there, then please mention. — Bill william comptonTalk 05:09, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"Athletes" is repeated a bit too often in that sentence now. I'd prefer "carried out" over "executed" for the note. I'm not convinced the "for instance" bit is really necessary. Other than that, looks fine. Strange Passerby (talkcont) 11:24, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I also felt the redundancy of "athletes" there, but I didn't have any other way to implement your recommendation together with retaining the information, now I've replaced "athletes" at one place with "contingents". Replaced the "executed" with "carried out", and removed "for instance".
I actually meant the entire bit after "for instance". Why single out only Nepal and not Syria as well? But then listing both would make the note quite long and unwieldy. IMO the bit stating Nepal's medal won is not needed. Once this is done, I'm ready to support. Strange Passerby (talkcont) 08:46, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • "This medal table ranks the participating NOCs by the number of gold medals won by their athletes.[4]" seems a bit odd in the lead. Especially when the table is sortable.

List of number-one EPs (UK)[edit]

Nominator(s): Rambo's Revenge (talk) 18:20, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Vinyl EPs are dead, but they had a life in the 1960s and even their own chart. Hopefully it is up to standard and maybe even slightly interesting. I realise I've been away, but assuming I haven't missed the introduction of any new "scope" or "alt text" type standards, I believe it is up to scratch. As always all reviews are greatly appreciated. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 18:20, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - no images..........? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:53, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't add one because any actual EP or cover would be non-free and I don't think justified under WP:NFCC#8. As for artist images, all images of The Shadows are truly pathetic. Ditto for The Beach Boys (their article used copyrighted ones + a rubbish older one meeting Regan). I don't really want to use the Beatles image because it seems to be in the lead of many of my FLs and that's a bit boring. I've put in an image of someone who never got a UK number-one outside the EP chart, is that okay? Rambo's Revenge (talk) 20:42, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nope just an unclear statement. It was referring to the fact that RM used to publish singles & albums charts, then stopped them and began publishing RR's. I've made this explicit now. Hopefully it's okay. Good catch though, Rambo's Revenge (talk) 16:56, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - welcome back by the way...!
  • Caption: 8->eight.
  • You directly cite the "died out" quote but not the "third vinyl format" quote. Any reason?
  • Singles is overlinked in the lead.
  • Should you also link format the first time rather than the second?
  • Link NME in the lead. Would it have been called New Musical Express in 1952?
  • I thought "disc" was the US spelling of disk?
    • Spelling of disc shows this is quite confusing. Although the use in computing—disc is used for optical media (CDs etc.) and disk is used for magnetic media (hard disk etc.).[32]—may suggest that the magnetic gramophone records would be "k" I have strong evidence to the contrary: Cliff's EP is called Cliff's Silver Discs, Continuum (UK origin) use "disc" in the Credo hosted reference cited, publications such as Record Mirror[33] and NME[34] used "disc" in their publications. Although I haven't managed to find an online Record Retailer scan but am fairly confident it would use the same spelling as other British periodicals at the time. Also, in this artile the usage of "disc" always refers to the music certifications introduced by Disc. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 21:24, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Any reason why Magical Mystery Tour isn't in italics if it's an EP in this context?

The Rambling Man (talk) 17:02, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done all but one, and I'm pretty sure my response to that point is adequate.
Done deal dude. Your response is "adequate"...! Good to have you back. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:26, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure about that. There might not be a well publicised EP chart outside the UK but just a quick google search turned up this Billboard article from October 1957 mentions a Billboard weekly listing of the top 10 selling EPs and refers to it as "the new EP chart". Just because a Wikipedia article doesn't exist doesn't mean it didn't happen. There weren't any lists documenting the UKs most followed charts in the 60s until I made them. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 12:32, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Grammy Award for Best Native American Music Album[edit]

Nominator(s): Another Believer (Talk) 21:19, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets criteria and closely resembles other Grammy lists with FL status. I specifically request feedback regarding the necessity of the Nationality column for this particular list. The category honors Native American music--it appears to be the case that award-winning performing artists are American, though I could not find enough information about all of them to identify which Native American tribes they belong to, if any. It would certainly be possible for non-Native American artists to release a Native American music album and win, but given the award category has retired with all Native American recipients, is the column necessary? I would just state in the lead that all performing artists were American, but I cannot find a source making this claim. In my opinion, a Producer(s) column would be more appropriate than the Nationality column given the number of award-winning compilation albums in which producer(s) received an award. Thoughts? Thanks, as always, to reviewers for your assistance. Another Believer (Talk) 21:19, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Contador is the youngest to win all the Grand Tours, and he completed the feat in 14 months which is the shortest amount of time that anyone has won the Grand Tours in" yuck, "Contador is the youngest, at xxx years, and quickest to win every Tour, completing the feat in 14 months."

  • Grand Tours or grand tours? Consistency.
  • "t is rare for cyclists to ride all grand tours in the same year; in 2004, 474 cyclists started in at least one of the grand tours, 68 of them rode two Grand Tours and only two cyclists started in all three grand tours." perhaps "... one of the Grand Tours, 68 rode two and two cyclists started all three..."?

It comes up automatically in the Cite4Wiki tool; it's probably not necessary but doesn't really hurt or violate anything. Albacore (talk) 20:46, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
What if the webpage is updated in 2012, will it automatically update the date to 2012 to stay true to its words (last update)?--Cheetah (talk) 22:00, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Probably not, removed. Albacore (talk) 00:33, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

*Comments:
    • "This list documents the " this probably has been brought up already, but not a fan of adding stuff like "this article" or "this list" in.
    • The lead is a bit weak, though not sure what could be added in.
Added a sentence.
    • any reason why the only refs are B-R or a couple mlb.com stat lists? Ideally we should be putting in at least one third-party source to these lists.
3rd party source added. Albacore (talk) 17:53, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

These are all things I probably should have seen and brought up in the Mariners' FLC, as re-reading that I see the same issues. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 16:03, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Mariners records article has a longer lead, as well as a 3rd party source (ref 3). Albacore (talk) 17:53, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
How so? Albacore (talk) 17:24, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've implemented where I think they'd be best suited, feel free to revert if you disagree. Afro (Talk) 18:05, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Undone, I don't see how Source[1] doesn't look professional. Albacore (talk) 20:04, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well to me it'd be different if it was the information was derived from said source (like I've seen in many articles), but since its just Source and citation italicized it seems so out of place. Afro (Talk) 21:56, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
