Featured list candidates/2023–24 figure skating season/archive1

Nominator(s): Bgsu98 (Talk) 12:20, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because all of the information has been properly sourced and tables have been formatted to comply with Wikipedia's MOS. Bgsu98 (Talk) 12:20, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

How come you used so many external links for sources for some of these tables? The international tables, except for the cancelled international competitions, are all pointing to external sources instead of following the format (references in that row instead) used by the rest of the article
Date formats are inconsistent in references, consider adding {{Use mdy dates|July 2024}} to the top of the article under the short description
Inconsistent linking of works in references, an example of this is
Access dates missing for a number of sources
Links should be archived once the bot is back up
A number of references use "ISU results" as the website and "International Skating Union" as the publisher. It makes more sense to use just "International Skating Union"
Some refs need to be downcased, such as 74, 76, and 77, so the names are not entirely capitalized
A lot of these references to social media posts are dead with no archive link available, such as refs 7, 10, 16, and 24

I think there's a fair bit of work that still needs to be done on this article. Please ping me when you reply. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:52, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey man im josh, with regards to your first question, I don't know. That is how these season articles have always been set up. Is there any benefit to providing a link versus an imbedded source? If not, I will convert them all over to sources. Bgsu98 (Talk) 17:31, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the delayed response @Bgsu98, I missed yours when catching up on my pings yesterday. See WP:CS:EMBED, which is about avoiding embedded links. Additionally, I think it makes sense to be consistent throughout the list and for the tables to not have different reference styles. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:10, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense. I have begun replacing the links with proper sources. Bgsu98 (Talk) 14:17, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey man im josh, thank you for improving the source formats. I will finish converting the dance links over this weekend; I had new teacher orientation all this week and haven't had much time for Wikipedia. Bgsu98 (Talk) 14:07, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey man im josh, I have finished converting the links to proper sources for the ice dance section, which should complete everything. Please let me know if there is anything else I need to address. Bgsu98 (Talk) 05:21, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Accessibility review (MOS:DTAB)

Tables need captions, which allow screen reader software to jump straight to named tables without having to read out all of the text before it each time. Visual captions can be added by putting |+ caption_text as the first line of the table code; if that caption would duplicate a nearby section header, you can make it screen-reader-only by putting |+ {{sronly|caption_text}} instead.
Please see MOS:DTAB for example table code if this isn't clear. I don't return to these reviews until the nomination is ready to close, so ping me if you have any questions. This is not a full review, and does not result in a support vote. --Pres N 15:36, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
PresN, those captions should all be included now. Thank you for catching those for me! Bgsu98 (Talk) 14:06, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This nomination has been open well past the time it would normally be closed, so in order to move it past the finish line, pinging everyone involved who has not formally closed their review: @Hey man im josh:. Please support/oppose/recuse as appropriate. --Pres N 14:13, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regretfully, at this point in time I think there are too many inconsistencies for me to support. Some of the issues include

Dates in some of these tables not sorting properly (alphabetically instead)
Inconsistency between tables (many sortable while others are not)
A lack of sort names in so
Inconsistency in reference formatting

It's a good list, and I believe it to be accurate, but I don't believe it meets our expectations for featured lists at this point in time. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:19, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, with no prose supports after multiple months, I'm going to have to close this nomination. Feel free to renominate in the future. --Pres N 16:09, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
