Thoughts
- The fact that the main article is titled "Winners of Wikipedia’s biggest award still haven’t received prize money" but it isn't mentioned it weird. This shouldn't be a puff piece and it feels like we are pulling our punches
- WMF press releases aren't high quality sources
- The Harvard Government School source is a press release
- The youtube video should be a better source
- A bunch of sources are missing bylines
I'm slightly unsure if this should redirect to Wikimania if we can't cite everything with secondary sources --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 13:31, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Guerillero, I have made the changes you suggested. Some of the sources can be used as a primary source and I have added new sources. According to this Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wikimedian of the Year (2nd nomination), the list is notable. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 16:58, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Oppose on sourcing and NPOV grounds. This needs to be sourced to something better than PR blogs from the WMF, Russkiy Mir, and Creative Commons. Further there are still inconsistencies in the citations and tweets being used as citations. On the NPOV front, the lead is devoid of any criticism while relying on a piece titled titled "Winners of Wikipedia’s biggest award still haven’t received prize money." --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 18:44, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Guerillero, I have cut down the use of WMF sources. Also, I have fixed the issues raised above. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 12:18, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I only noted one thing:
- "She started to creating articles to "better represent women and people of colour"." —-> That should be "started to create" or "started in order to create".
That’s about it. ~ HAL333 15:50, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- @Guerillero: Us FLC closers could use some input on whether your objections have been addressed to your satisfaction. A couple of the sites you described as unreliable don't appear to be in the article at the moment, and the number of WMF sources has been reduced, if not eliminated (I count four).

Support on sources Source review
This FLC is listed at the FLC page as needing a source review so here goes:
- Ref 1 (The prize money article) states that in 2012 the award was named the "Jimbo award" so the award wasn't always called "Wikimedian of the Year".
- They are referring to this. But it wasn't an official name.
- Ref 2 (kyiv post) - that URL is not completely loading for me - perhaps it is an issue on my end but the linkage needs to be investigated.
- It seems to be loading for me.
- Ref 4/5: pass
- Ref 3&6: are in languages I do not speak so AGF
- Ref 7/8: pass
- Ref 9: Is listed as a Cite web but shouldn't it be a Cite video? And the video itself lasts 15 minutes - is there a way to cite the specific timestamps that back up Ref 9?
- Added a new source
- Ref 10/11/12/13/14: pass
- Ref 15: AGF, in a language I do not speak
- Ref 16/17/18: pass
- Ref 19: Is a link to a video and uses the cite web template. This should probably be a cite web and have time-stamps that deal directly with the information that is being backed up.
- Added
- Ref 20/21: pass
- Ref 22: This link does not mention Wikimedian of the Year. It states the award was "Positive Wikimedian of the Year."
- Added a new source
- Ref 23/24: pass
Once the few issues mentioned above are dealt with or explained I will be able to Support on Source review. Shearonink (talk) 05:49, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hopefully the third time's the charm for this one, which was archived after drawing no responses on its previous two candidacies. It's another short-lived pro-wrestling championship from the early 1990s. I'm aware that there's a degree of overlap between this and List of WWE Cruiserweight Champions, but this is a more thorough look at a separate entity which is only in hindsight considered one and the same with the latter so I don't believe that's going to be an issue. The article was given a copy-editing tag-team by Zppix and Baffle gab1978, and follows the same layout as the FL WCW International World Heavyweight Championship. Thanks for looking at this to anyone who takes the time. GRAPPLE X 16:05, 30 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments
- As the opening paragraph is only one sentence, I would merge it with the next one
- "WWE, who purchased WCW's assets in 2001" => "WWE, which purchased WCW's assets in 2001"
- "Morton and Pillmen contested" - typo
- "Pillman successfully defended the championship against Tom Zenk at the May 17 WrestleWar event in Jacksonville, Florida; before being defeated" - that semi-colon should be a comma
- "would depict any maneuver performed from the top rope of the ring as illegal and resulting in disqualification; this effectively ended the appeal of the light heavyweight style" - I don't think it's quite right to say it ended the appeal of the style, as the style would still have been appealing but essentially wasn't allowed to be used. I would say "effectively ended the viability of the light heavyweight style"

Comments from Harrias
The crossover is with List of WWE Cruiserweight Champions (1991–2007) and WWE Cruiserweight Championship (1991–2007), rather than the List of WWE Cruiserweight Champions article you linked, as far as I can tell. I appreciate your comment that it "is only in hindsight considered one and the same". But our current articles treat them the same, and I struggle to see why the prose and brackets can't be merged into WWE Cruiserweight Championship (1991–2007), especially given the current short length of that article, while the list entries are already provided at List of WWE Cruiserweight Champions (1991–2007). It seems to me to contravene 3(c) pretty obviously. Can you convince me otherwise? Harrias talk 12:00, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Source review by MPJ-DK
Since this FLC Is in the orange box at the top of the FLC page I am going to do a source review since it has to be completed before it can possibly be passed for FL. Note, I have my own FLC nomination if anyone wants to reciprocate (not required). Note, while I am part of the WikiCup I am not looking to claim points for the source review I'm going to do. MPJ-DK (talk) 18:09, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- General comments
- 7 out of 15 sources are primary, from WWE who now owns the championship. That is almost 50%, which seems less than ideal for Featured content. Keeping in mind that WWE has a tendency to write history as they want it, which is not necessarily the same as how it happened.
- Online World of Wrestling- WP:PW/RS lists it as "unreliable" and thus needs to be replaced
- wrestling-titles.com - is generally listed as "unproven" source wise, but I know that their pre-2000 content is mainly built on the "Wrestling Title Histories" book, which is considered about as good a source for championship history as there is, so I'll say in this context that is a reliable source.
- Is there a location for the 2 book sources?
- This is where using so many wwe.com articles gets dicey - they all refer to the championship by the wrong name, proving that their "fact" aren't as factual as a Featured List requires.
- Source review oppose - Grapple X unless the above issues are addressed. MPJ-DK (talk) 15:43, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @MPJ-DK: With the work that ChrisTheDude has done, how do you feel about the sourcing now? Harrias talk 12:06, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Image review
- File:WCW Light Heavyweight Championship.png - Fair use argument is appropriate, lines up with other championship belt images used on Wikipedia. Since the championship was abandoned in 1992 it is unlikely that a free use image of someone with the championship belt is available to use.
- File:Jushin Thunder Liger.JPG - APpropriately tagged, has been on commons since 2015 with no indicators of copyright issues

- The Rambling Man I am happy to try and get this one over the line. One WWE ref (the current number 9) is needed precisely because it references the fact that WWE re-write history to suit their needs (it supports the statement that they regard the light heavyweight champions as cruiserweight champions).

Comments and support from Chidgk1
[edit]As someone with no knowledge or interest in this subject but who would like to get it sorted as I see mine is the next oldest:
- Instead of "The WCW Light Heavyweight Championship is a defunct ..." why not simply say "The WCW Light Heavyweight Championship was a ...."?
- Instead of " its subsequent lineage would end" why not simply say "it ended"?
- "During this time" is confusing - should it just be deleted or is it explaining some partial time - I don't understand.
- "Among Watts' edicts was a new rule that would depict any maneuver performed from the top rope of the ring as illegal and resulting in disqualification; this effectively ended the viability of the light heavyweight style, even though the matches involved in the championship picture had been considered "outstanding" by the fans." confuses me. Does that mean the fans got bored with it after the new rule and stopped watching on TV so the advertisers pulled out? Did only that style become unviable - did the new rule not apply to the lighter weight wrestlers? Presumably the heavier ones could not jump off the top rope anyway? I realise that it is not really a sport but a kind of pre-choreographed show, but for people new to the subject it is a little confusing.

Great idea - one of my favorite actors
- As this is a list of her performances perhaps most of the pictures should be related to one or more performances (like the pic of the theatre is), for example are there any good pics of her on a set? The pics already there are great but maybe it would be more interesting for the top pic to be different from the top pic on the Sigourney Weaver article. Also perhaps add a performance name in some pic captions if relevant. Perhaps add more pics if there are any which are good enough quality.
- Done
- Why are some of her earlier theatre roles blank?
- The sources are rare, nearly nonexistent.
- In Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny did she sing or was she the announcer? Did she sing in Das Lusitania Songspiel? If she sang is her singing ability significant enough to be mentioned in the lead?
- I wish I had some good sources and reviews on it, but I don't. ~ HAL333 04:37, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Please add "trans-title" on the foreign refs e.g. Benvenuti
- Done
- Perhaps the note in "In 2009, Weaver reteamed with James Cameron on Avatar, which became the highest grossing film of all time.[note 1]" could be integrated in some way e.g. "In 2009, Weaver reteamed with James Cameron on Avatar, which for a decade was the highest grossing film of all time."
- Done
- Should The Investigation: A Search for the Truth in Ten Acts be added?
- Done Thanks for mentioning that. I remember when they did that but I had completely forgotten it when I was writing this. ~ HAL333 04:13, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- I've just checked ref 7, and it lists two number ones for each week, one Romanian and one international. It might be worth mentioning this in the article and clarifying that the songs listed here are the most-broadcast overall...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:56, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- @ChrisTheDude: Thank you for the suggestion, I really think it's a great solution actually. However, I chose to not color the cells for those other key rows since then, the table would be colored all the way and it'd be exhausting to see. Plus, the song of the year is Romanian, so it'd need two colors. I'm aware this list may be a little complicated to understand, so I revised the lead a tiny bit: "Media Forest has been publishing 'four rankings which list' the top ten most-broadcast Romanian and foreign songs on Romanian...".

Comments from Aoba47
[edit]- I have always been told to avoid using fixed image sizes (i.e. the 200px for the Black Eyed Peas image) so I would remove that.
- For this part, (In that year, eight and 11 singles were listed by Media Forest), I would say "In 2009" instead, and I would either represent both numbers through words or numerals, but having a combination of both in one sentence looks rather odd to me.
- I agree with ChrisTheDude's most recent comment above.
- The break used for the "featuring Nicole Scherzinger" part of the chart looks rather odd to me in some views. Is the break completely necessary for any reason?

Can take this later in the day. Therapyisgood (talk) 13:43, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- File:Tyler Austin on September 8, 2016.jpg, File:Aaron Judge on September 8, 2016.jpg, File:Garyga.jpg, File:Daniel Nava on July 15, 2010.jpg, File:Adam Wainright.jpg need personality rights templates at the Commons.
- Not a big deal to me because someone reviewed it but the source of File:Daniel Nava on July 15, 2010.jpg is dead. Can you try to archive?
- I can see that File:Adam Wainright.jpg is OK but Commons:Template:Flickrreview should be added to the Commons page for a reviewer or an admin to review, or a bot.
- Not required but would suggest archiving the source for File:1898 Michael Griffin.jpeg and File:Hoyt-wilhelm.jpg
- Although MLB was founded in its current iteration in 1903, statistics from the National League, American League and American Association that were recorded before that year have been retroactively recognized as major league. Do you have a source for this? Who recognizes them as major league? I'm surprised the Players' League isn't in this although they were found by MLB to be a major league in 1968 (see Lewis).
- No source required per FL List of Major League Baseball players with a .400 batting average in a season (promoted in 2017). —Bloom6132 (talk) 22:18, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- One hundred and twenty-five different players have hit a home run in their first at bat of a Major League Baseball (MLB) game to date I think "to date" isn't how we're supposed to demarcate time, try using Template:As of
- Again, permissible under FL List of Major League Baseball single-inning home run leaders (promoted April 2020). —Bloom6132 (talk) 22:18, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Both players are recognized by whom?
- Major League Baseball. —Bloom6132 (talk) 22:18, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- their first and their last major league at bat. not sure we need the second their.
- Removed. —Bloom6132 (talk) 16:16, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Paul Gillespie and John Miller perhaps add "first baseman" to John Miller ie first baseman John Miller to differentiate Miller from the pitcher or Ox Miller.
- Brackets are not included in prose text unless more than one person of the same name is mentioned. This is not the case here. —Bloom6132 (talk) 22:18, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Paul Gillespie and John Miller are the only players to hit a home run in both their first and their last major league at bat.[12][13] Those were the only home runs that Miller ended up hitting during his stint in the MLB I think you can combine these with a semicolon
- That would take the word count to 42. I prefer not to go over 30 words in a sentence. —Bloom6132 (talk) 22:18, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Another user merged the two sentences, but dropped the total word count to 36 by rephrasing. I've kept that change. —Bloom6132 (talk) 16:16, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- On the other hand, Gary Gaetti, with 360, hit more home runs perhaps "has hit". As of when?
- Not necessary, because an FL is supposed to be up to date per WP:FLCR. —Bloom6132 (talk) 22:18, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Indicates the player was a pitcher maybe "Indicates the player was primarily a pitcher", certainly could have played other positions in career.
- Doesn't matter if he could have played other positions in career. What matters here is the position he played in this specific game (which is what this symbol covers).
- Indicates the home run was hit on the first career pitch of the pitcher or of the batter?
- Of course the batter. Otherwise this list would've been titled "List of Major League Baseball pitchers who have given up a home run in their first major league at bat". —Bloom6132 (talk) 22:18, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Indicates the home runs were hit in consecutive at bats could be more specific for which home runs, ie first in a plate appearance if I'm implying right.
- First home runs in an at bat (not plate appearance, which include walks, HBPs, sac flies, etc.). Should I re-word to "… home runs were hit in consecutive first at bats"? —Bloom6132 (talk) 16:16, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- As of the most recent season. Again, not necessary, because an FL is supposed to be up to date. —Bloom6132 (talk) 22:18, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not sure note E is essential, ie the Red Stocking switched leagues a few times but we don't note that on Tebeau.
- I still think it's best to clarify the league switch. I don't want some editor down the line who wasn't aware of the league switch changing it to AL thinking that I had gotten it wrong. I can change it to a hidden comment if you think that'll be better. —Bloom6132 (talk) 16:16, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Have you looked for the times for the box scores for Tebeau and Griffin?
- The box scores are not available. Here are the links from Retrosheet and Baseball-Reference.com to prove it. —Bloom6132 (talk) 16:37, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose I will oppose for now due to the lack of inclusion of the Players' League in these stats even though the PL was a major league. Therapyisgood (talk) 19:24, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- The exclusion of the PL in this list goes against 3A. Some of the comments (ie "That would take the word count to 42. I prefer not to go over 30 words in a sentence") amount to IDONTLIKEIT.

Good – as I said above, I'll leave it to the FL director or his delegates to decide whether they pertain to FL criteria.

I've done my best to address most of your remaining concerns. —Bloom6132 (talk) 16:37, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Umm, "Major League Baseball" is capitalized, which means that it refers to players in the leagues collectively known as Major League Baseball (MLB), and not to other leagues which are considered by historians to be "major leagues", such as the Pioneer League. For this reason, Therapyisgood's complaint is baseless. Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:57, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Giants2008 and PresN: I'm leaning towards pulling the plug on this one and nominating afresh. I feel this is being opposed on grounds that are beyond the scope of FL criteria. Frankly, some of the comments are bordering on absurd and have never been demanded of me in all my previous 24 successful FLCs (including 4 promoted this year). I, of course, assume good faith, given the fact that the reviewer only started editing in November 2019 and may not be all that familiar with the FLC process. However, the fact that they took me to ANI citing "General dickishness" (which was rightly SNOWCLOSE'd 17 minutes later) reinforces my belief as to the ridiculousness of these comments. What do you guys think? —Bloom6132 (talk) 02:59, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Alright, a couple points:
- Starting with content: to hit the big one off the bat, I feel that since this list is explicitly for "MLB", not "major league" baseball, that it's okay that it covers the leagues that became MLB and not the "major" leagues that did not. Might be nice to expand that note to mention why NL, AL, and AA are included (because they formed the MLB), but you don't need to add the Player's League.
- Expanded note. —Bloom6132 (talk) 16:16, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Not wanting to go over 30 words per sentence is... unusual, but as long as everything is grammatically correct there's nothing wrong with not wanting to join concepts with a semicolon.
- Another user merged the two sentences, but dropped the total word count to 36 by rephrasing. I've kept that change. —Bloom6132 (talk) 16:16, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Not content: "I don't have to do this because I didn't have to in a prior FL" is not a valid argument. A successful FLC is an indication that reviewers didn't have a problem with something; it doesn't mean that you are exempt from editors asking questions in the future. It's completely reasonable to ask for a source for a statement even if it was unsourced in prior FLs- if you don't think it needs to be sourced, explain why. As someone who also has a large FL series I know it can be frustrating to have a concern raised on something that has been fine for years and a dozen lists, but sometimes it happens and sometimes it's valid. FLs aren't perfect.
- Please don't dismiss reviewers' concerns due to reasons outside of those concerns (e.g. because of their "newness" or ANI drama)- if the concerns are valid/invalid, they are such regardless of whatever else is going on with that user. --PresN 15:14, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @PresN: Thanks for the comments. I've addressed your first point and the second point got resolved by another editor who improved the sentence by merging and rephrasing. I've also addressed most of the reviewer's other comments, but I feel the rest (i.e. re images) is beyond my expertise. Should I withdraw this nom? —Bloom6132 (talk) 16:16, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Director comment – @Bloom6132: Sorry I didn't get back to you before. I see that Pres has given you some assistance. If you still want me to withdraw the nom, let me know and I'll close it over the weekend, when I do my next batch of closures (assuming Pres or TRM don't get around to it first). If not, I'd be happy to let it run, as it hasn't been open for too long and could use more time for a consensus to develop one way or the other (especially on the Players League issue). Regarding the image, I'd treat it like we normally handle Flickr images. If it was reviewed in good faith while the link was alive and the photo isn't an obvious copyvio the reviewer missed, my inclination would be to say that the image is okay for use. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:42, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Giants2008: thanks and no worries! I think I'll let this nom run and see how consensus develops. Hopefully that'll give the reviewer a reasonable amount of time to revisit the feedback they gave. —Bloom6132 (talk) 09:26, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- The sentence
On the other hand, Gary Gaetti, with 360, hit more home runs than any other player to hit one in their first at bat.
seems awkward, mainly in the way it refers to home-runs. I can’t think of a better way to reword it, and it’s not absolutely necessary, but I think it could be improved.

- Source review – The reliability of the references looks fine to me. One small formatting issue sticks out: ref 2 could use a page number, if one is available, for verifiability. If it's one of the more recent Google Books links that doesn't include the page numbers, including the chapter name in the cite would work fine for me.

There are now 47 of these country number ones lists at WP:FL, so here is the possible #48. In 1966, David Houston had a lengthy run in the top spot - the artist who would achieve the next run of the same length was at this point still 23 years away from being born....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:51, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments
- The sentence "The next unbroken run at number one of this length would not occur until 2012." seems somewhat awkward, particularly the two prep phrases at the beginning. I understand that you were trying to diversify it from the Taylor Swift sentence in the third paragraph. It's not a big deal, but reworking it couldn’t hurt.

The latest Cardiff City F.C. related list I've been working on. As far as I'm aware, no other internationals list has been promoted to FL status, so there's no basic template to follow but I think I've matched the standard up to previous promotions. I look forward to any comments. Kosack (talk) 18:08, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments on the lead
- Five pretty short paragraphs looks too many - suggest merging some
- "Jimmy Blair became the first Cardiff player from outside Wales" - maybe say "the first Cardiff player to represent a country other than Wales", as earlier players may have been from outside Wales (in terms of place of birth) but played for Wales
- "Alf Sherwood became the club's highest capped international player in the decade following the end of the Second World War" - this reads like he was the highest capped player in that decade specifically. I presume that is not what you mean?
- "Five Cardiff players were selected in the nation's 23-man squad for the competition, Colin Baker....." - comma before the first name should be a colon
- "Tony Vidmar became the first Cardiff player from outside the British Isles" - similar comment to above
- "Chris Gunter is the youngest ever Cardiff player" - think the word "ever" is unnecessary

- Comment These "club's internationals" lists seems a little off to me. They're almost like the "club's foreign players" lists we deleted earlier, except they also include some domestic players. Plus, footballers get called up by their national team for various reasons besides club performance if that is what is supposed to be implied in the list. That's just my best guess to be honest. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 23:00, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not sure what relevance that has here really, international lists have been through AfD in the past and have remained.

Source review from Harrias – pass
I will claim WikiCup points for the review.
- "Davies, Gareth M; Garland, Ian (1991)." is included in the Bibliography, but not used.
- As part of note b, it's one of the sources used to provide the statistics for the table. Kosack (talk) 06:23, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Ref #3 cites "Hayes 2002", is this meant to be "Hayes, Dean P. (2004)"? - Fixed
- What makes the website "Northern Ireland Footballing Greats" a reliable source?

In this case, delving a bit deeper, I can't see that the source provided actually backs up the statement that "Goalkeeper Tom Farquharson remains the only Cardiff player to have appeared for two international sides, having represented both Ireland and the Irish Free State in the 1920s." It does say that he played for both Ireland and the Irish Free State, but I don't see where it says that he was the only Cardiff player to have appeared for two international sides. If the source is only being used to establish that he played for both Ireland and the Irish Free State, we have much higher quality sources which also say that, such as this or this.

- Why is "Holt, Nick (2014)" included in the specific references, rather than the bibliography? A page number needs including for this source.
- When a book is referencing a single fact, I tend to just include it as a specific red rather than list it in the bibliography. Unfortunately, as it's from Google Book, I don't have a page number. Kosack (talk) 06:23, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- As a side note, Estonia and Latvia are probably too short to transform into the FLs at the moment (I remember opposition in this regard when nominating List of World Heritage Sites in North Macedonia) but because of the tentative sites and maps they still deserve separate articles. With Iceland's nomination getting good support, Lithuania and Sweden in a while should therefore be the last from the batch. --Tone 18:13, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I could understand why "leeway" was given for the examples above. But 6 total items seems to be cutting it.

Comments by Dudley
[edit]- "Intense logging activities in the 17th and 18th centuries caused the dunes moving towards the Lagoon". "caused the dunes moving" is ungrammatical.
- Curonian Spit. The description is mainly about the site's preservation and its natural importance. As it is a cultural site, I think you need to cover its architecture.
- "but human occupancy of the area continues to the present day." This is a bit misleading. The citation says "until modern times" and that since the cultural reserve was established in 1989 economic activty has been banned and the settlement managed for heritage protection.
- Trakai. More about its natural importance would be helpful.
- "During the Interwar period, Vilnius was administered by Poland, so Kaunas was designated the temporary capital of Lithuania." Although you have said above that Vilnius was the political centre, it would be helpful context to refer to it as the historic capital. Also "so Kaunas was designated" is a non-sequitur. Another town could have been chosen. Perhaps "During the Interwar period, the historic capital of Lithuania, Vilnius, was lost to Poland, and Kaunas was designated the temporary capital."

Source review – pass
[edit]- All 10 sources used are sourced to the UNESCO World Heritage Centre. WP:SOURCE (part of WP:V) requires us to "Base articles on reliable, independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." There is no doubt that the UNESCO World Heritage Centre is a reliable published source with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. However, for the purposes of this list, it is not independent. For this article to meet WP:V, it will need a number of third-party, independent sources to verify the information within it. Harrias talk 22:43, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Harrias: I'll add some more sources, however, essentially they will always reference the list at least indirectly. We've had such discussions at previous lists nominations and this approach seemed acceptable. --Tone 09:16, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- That's fine. Ultimately, with this sort of list, we're always going to lean heavily on the primary source, but as long as there's a good smattering of third-party sources, we're fine. Harrias talk 09:18, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Boston Marathon is the oldest, and arguably most prestigious, marathon in the world. It was formerly a featured list, but was demoted in 2012 and had serious sourcing and MOS non-compliance issues. I have completely overhauled it a followed the style of my recently promoted FL, List of winners of the New York City Marathon. As always, all feedback will be greatly received.

Feedback from User:Sillyfolkboy
[edit]- Lead
- "The length of the marathon was not fixed" – need to clarify that "the marathon" in this context refers to the distance in general rather than the Boston marathon.
- The lead paragraph does not address the subject of the article: the winners of the Boston Marathon. This material describing the history of course measurement is best placed at Boston Marathon and only needs to be mentioned briefly here as an explanation of why some winners had their course records stripped.
- I had trimmed the discussion about various distances away. Harrias talk 10:07, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- This list makes no mention of the handcycle division. Handcyclists have received full winner ceremonies since 2017 and the division was well populated several years prior to that (see here for more info).
- While they give them full winner's ceremonies, they do not list them on their list of champions. As such, it is difficult to gather when they first considered them "official finishers" of the marathon. From what I can see there were handcyclists taking part at least as far back as 2001, but at least some of these are described as "exhibition races". In the absence of the BAA or another reliable source publishing a list of winners, I am worried that it is going to be too difficult to ascertain the scope for this. While the Berlin Marathon is recognised as a significant handcycling event, this does not appear to be the case for Boston. At the moment, I would err on the side of either omitting it entirely, or including it, but only with results from 2017 onwards. Harrias talk 10:07, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- The race recognises winners in visibility-impaired, mobility-impaired, and masters age categories [10]. How does the list intend to treat this fact?
- Again, winners of these categories are not listed in the BAA list of champions. And again, without official guidance, it is nigh on impossible to establish a scope. Runners in all these categories are considered part of the open division, so they are subset, so I would lean towards including these in a separate list, if the relevant information could be found. Harrias talk 10:07, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- The lead makes no mention of the athletes with the most wins at the Boston Marathon, bar Clarence DeMar. The most successful athlete of each division is key information for this topic.
- Added this in. Harrias talk 10:07, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Worth mentioning that Jean Driscoll has the record for most consecutive race victories at seven.
- Added this in. Harrias talk 10:07, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- The lead does not mention that Geoffrey Mutai won in 2011 with a then-fastest ever time of 2:03:02.
- Added this into the lead and the table. Harrias talk 10:22, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- There is no mention that Yamada's 1953 win was initially considered a world record.
- Added, and the same for Viskari a few years later. Harrias talk 10:34, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Probably worth mentioning that Eugene Roberts was the first wheelchair finisher in 1970 but was not recognised as a wheelchair winner.[11]
- Added this in. Harrias talk 10:07, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- "Suh Yun-bok set the only IAAF-ratified world record in the men's open race" – need to clarify that this means the only mens IAAF world record not the only IAAF-ratified world record.
- Clarified. Harrias talk 10:07, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Worth stating that these world records were not official records at the time, but were retrospectively recognised as world records by the IAAF on January 1, 2004 (see Marathon world record progression and page 612 of the Stats handbook). The IAAF has also rebranded as World Athletics so the new name should be used.
- I have added a note in regarding this. Harrias talk 10:38, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Worth mentioning that Rita Jeptoo is the first and only winner to be stripped of the title.
- This information is already presented in the table; I'm wary about overburdening the lead. Harrias talk 10:22, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Worth mentioning the periods of success of certain nationalities in the elite races, from early North Americans, to mid/late 20th century Europeans, to current-day East Africans.
- List
- Surely the Key should be a sub-section within the Winners section rather than a section of its own?
- Good point, done. Harrias talk 13:49, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- The "Course notes" column of the men's division list is entirely about distance. This column should be simplified to "Distance".
- Per the above, the N/A values in the above column should be replaced with the marathon distance and the column should be made sortable as numeric data.
- Done both of these. Harrias talk 14:02, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- The years on the list are only partially linked to the yearly articles. I would suggest adding links to all editions. Yearly articles are already present in the German and Dutch Wikipedias. (FYI – I've been creating these articles recently and will resume with the Boston article set once the Berlin Marathon is complete).
- Captions
- "Men's Open" or "Men's open"?
- Redundant to state "new" world/course record. The setting of one indicates that already.
- "Robert Kipkoech Cheruiyot had"?
- "and 17-year course record."?
- Tidied all these captions. Harrias talk 14:11, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Would it be useful to include an external link to the BAA website at the foot of the page?
Ping me once you've worked through the above or if you have any question. On a sidenote, several of the points I've mentioned above also apply to List of winners of the New York City Marathon so it's worth addressing that too. Happy to give a further review on that talk page rather than reopening the Featured List process, which would be a bit of a faff. Thanks for the work so far! SFB 15:55, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- @Harrias: Nearly all the above is good with me. On the handcycle winners - the BAA has officially recognised these since 2017 and made official announcements as such[12][13], so I'd definitely include the 2017–19 winners, plus a note simply stating that there were earlier exhibition handcycle races (I haven't located the year of first the handcycle entrants either, btw). All other changes are good, though this sentence is a little ambiguous so I'd explicitly note the years that were retrospectively recognised: "The first six victories in the women's open division were officially recognized in 1996."

Comments from Harrias
Right, I missed all the individual articles at GA, as I hadn't finished watching the series, so I'm looking forward to looking this over. I will claim WikiCup points for the review.
- In the lead, why is "The Mandalorian" and "The Child" in quotation marks, as so, but The Armorer and The Client aren't? In fact, this is pretty inconsistent throughout the whole article.
- I used quotations like this whenever the character was being introduced for the first time in a lead or character entry, but did not use quotation marks on second references. I felt this worked, but if you disagree I'm happy to remove the quotation marks, just let me know. — Hunter Kahn 20:59, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- "..with stunt actors Brendan Wayne and Lateef Crowder performing.." Avoid noun plus -ing.
- Changed. — Hunter Kahn 20:59, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- "The droid later join the Mandalorian.." Should be "joins".
- Fixed. — Hunter Kahn 20:59, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- "..with some critics calling.." Noun plus -ing again.
- Changed. — Hunter Kahn 20:59, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Refs #78 and #137, International Business Times is generally considered an unreliable source.
- Removed. Fortunately, it was only used to cite information that already had other sources cited, so no substantial changes were needed after its removal. — Hunter Kahn 20:59, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Ref #202, Jezebel is generally considered an unreliable source.
- Removed, which only required the removal of a single sentence that didn't have a major impact on the article. — Hunter Kahn 20:59, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Overall, a very nice piece of work. I concur with TRM that it suffers from citation overkill, and could do with some trimming away, but other than that and the minor points I have raised, it looks really good. Harrias talk 10:48, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

*Source review – There are a couple of formatting glitches in the list of citations that could use fixing. First, ref 60 looks to have some faulty piping in the listed publisher. Second, ref 144 has some weird italics; the publisher (Vanity Fair) doesn't have them, but the title and access date have them for some reason. The source reliability mostly looks fine, but is it possible to find something stronger than a tweet for ref 143? That's a weak primary source, and I wouldn't be surprised if some notable publication mentioned this for such a prominent series. Other than these issues, the sourcing is okay, although I suggest looking at the link-checker tool, which is flagging several links as being possible dead. Any that are dead should be archived or replaced, although the one orange link I tested (the Newsweek one) seemed to be in working order. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:31, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel its structure and formatting mirrors the other lists I have successfully nominated to FL (e.g. bishops of Hong Kong, archbishops of Vancouver and Toronto), and it now meets all 6 FL criteria. —Bloom6132 (talk) 23:54, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Support A really solid article. The only thing I noticed, and this is quite a stretch, is that you linked "cardinal" in one of the captions, but you didn't link any other positions in any other captions. ~ HAL333 01:36, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Also, is there a latin term for the position that you could put in the IB, like at Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Quebec? ~ HAL333 18:07, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @HAL333: It'd be Archiepiscopus Quebecensis, but it's not in widespread use nowadays (the results on Google Books all date to documents issued before the 1960s). And it messes up the infobox (I tried it with this edit) because I think the Latin parameter is only intended for articles on arch/dioceses (and not arch/bishops). —Bloom6132 (talk) 20:55, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]- Add a short description.

- The lead image could do with a caption, just to clarify that it is of Lacroix.
- Done. —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:37, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Both images in the infobox need alt text.
- Done. —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:37, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- The infobox mentions the Cathedral-Basilica of Notre-Dame de Québec, but this is not referenced, nor does it appear in the prose or table.
- Added ref (re-used from lead). —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:37, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- "..held the position for seven months (1925–26)..": Non-abbreviated years are generally preferred.
- Fixed. —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:37, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I am confused about why, if Jean-Baptiste de La Croix de Chevrières de Saint-Vallier was appointed on July 7, 1687, François de Laval did not resign until January 24, 1688?
- According to Laval's DCB bio (ref 6), "When his resignation had been accepted, Bishop Laval agreed to remain bishop of Quebec until the consecration of his successor, Abbé Saint-Vallier". That occurred on January 25, 1688 (the day after Laval's resignation became official). I've added a footnote (like the ones below) to clarify the situation – hope that works. —Bloom6132 (talk) 21:48, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Could you add the footnote to de Laval's resignation date, and make what is in that quote clear: that he agreed to stay on after his resignation? The current footnote that was added, "Saint-Vallier received episcopal consecration on January 25, 1688." wouldn't help me if you hadn't explained it. Harrias talk 08:12, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Harrias: Added. Would you like me to remove the other footnote on Saint-Vallier's date of consecration? —Bloom6132 (talk) 10:26, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- If you feel it is superfluous, feel free to remove it, but I'm happy with both coexisting. Harrias talk 11:05, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- "As of 2016 Men's T20 World Cup," => "As of the 2016 Men's T20 World Cup,"
- "(then World Twenty20)" => "(then called the World Twenty20)". Also no reason for the name to be in italics
- "This is the first and only instance in the championship where" => "This is the first and only instance in the championship when"
- "until he had broken his own record" => "until he broke his own record"
- "The second and third batsmen to score a century in the championship were....." - why is it important to note the second and third players to score a hundred?
- Sorry, it just totally gone out of my mind, actually the first three centries makes all the three bastemen to achieve the feat of becoming players who scored centuries in all the formats of the game, a very rare feat in cricket. Gayle's being the first. Added the info and see if needs any correction. Dey subrata (talk) 21:32, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- "Brendon McCullum is the highest individual scorer in the Men's T20 World Cup, scored 123 runs" => "Brendon McCullum is the highest individual scorer in the Men's T20 World Cup, having scored 123 runs"
- "As of 2016, " - this is still true, so say "as of 2020"
- Because this is world cup, happens after 4 years, and last time held in 2016 and the 2020 world cup is yet to start. This one is not like the last list. Dey subrata (talk) 21:32, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, but just saying "as of 2016" could make the reader think that there have been more world cups since then (the article doesn't say that it is only held every four years) and the article just hasn't been updated.

- ChrisTheDude, I think to add "the most recent to take place" would be better, since ICC yet to decide to hold the T20I WC as 2 years or 4 years event. Please check the above point also, if any correction needed in the added lines. Dey subrata (talk) 08:45, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Harrias
- "..is the international championship of T20 cricket. A T20 International.." Spell out "Twenty20" on these two occasions, including the abbreviation in brackets after.
- added in the first sentence, (T20) in the first sentence fulfills the purpose of the second sentence for which the the short form is used so that can be used later in the paragraph. However, ICC now call it as T20, no more as Twenty20. Drat8sub (talk) 01:00, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- No they don't. They have rebranded the competition to use "T20", but the format of cricket is still called Twenty20 and Twenty20 International. Both abbreviations need defining, per MOS:ABBR. Harrias talk 07:29, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Harrias, correct, was prejudiced by the world cup name change. Fixed the name thing. Drat8sub (talk) 20:56, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- "This century also made him the first player to score a century in all three formats of international cricket." The last century you mentioned was the 2016 one, but this presumably refers to his 2010 one.
- The Key table needs to be made accessible with row and column scopes, and a table caption.
- "Inns." is actually "Inn" in the list.
- "refers to whether the player's team won or lost or if the match was drawn" None of the matches were drawn, might as well remove this.
- We can now use {{asterisk}} as an accessible symbol.

Fifth in my ongoing series of "animals in a family" (FLs felids, canids, mustelids, and the pending procyonids), we continue through Carnivora with the recognizable Ursidae, aka "bears". This one is the smallest yet at 8 extant species, though it still has dozens of subspecies and over 100 extinct species. The animals are fairly non-diverse: they range from "big" to "very big", all look more or less like a "bear", and besides the polar bear like to hang out in forests. While the giant panda famously only eats bamboo, many of the other species have a fairly specialized diet, though even then they'll often eat a fairly wide variety of things if they get too hungry. For the first (and probably last) time in this series, we actually have population estimates for all of the species, which is nice. The list format is based on the prior lists and reflects FLC comments. As always, thanks for reviewing! --PresN 02:59, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- "File:2010-kodiak-bear-1.jpg could be larger in the lead in my opinion. It's a bit small to me.
- It's standard thumbnail size, so it's whatever your personal settings are- overriding that is generally not recommended as it messes with mobile browsers (MOS:IMGSIZE).
- Why are you citing a book on the History of Music in Russia for the specifications of the lead?
- For the 7 words prior to the cite- "some bears have been trained for entertainment".
- There is no generally accepted classification of extinct ursid species according to who? why? have any been proposed? which classifications do exist?
- I can't really prove a negative, this is a phrase I've had to use in the prior lists as well- almost no animal families have overall classification schemes for extinct species. People find new species, give them a name in a paper, maybe a decade later someone says it should actually be in a different genus, etc., but there aren't any general overview papers or books for ursids that cover the entire family and try to organize things that I can point to. It's just a pile of individual species/genera; the paleobiology database at least collates all of that into one location that doesn't contradict itself. I can remove that sentence and let it stand without it, but I can't cite anything to show that there's no classifications out there.
- Bolding of the Subfamily violates MOS:BOLD

- Comment - Just a quick comment, but sentences like "All listed species are extinct; where a genus or subfamily within Ursidae comprises only extinct species, it is indicated with a dagger symbol " shouldn't be in the body of the text, but as a note (either footnote, or in Notes section, or even could be reworded into a legend if you so choose). Mattximus (talk) 23:25, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- I think this should be called List of bears (redirects here). While the other lists needed to use the Latin family name because there were multiple types of animal common names within the family, in this case it's a single type and the English name is more accessible to readers.
- I disagree. I think keeping consistency with the other (currently) 7 lists for Carnivora is important, and that this one family has a common name that matches the whole family shouldn't change that- redirects are easy. It also makes it clearer that this is a list of "bear" species, not individual bears.
- "A member of this family is called an ursid or a bear." This should be reversed perhaps with explanation to "A member of this family is called a bear or an ursid, from the Latin ursa." But even then, it's sort of tautologial. It's not that family members are called ursids or bears, it's that bears comprise this family; the classification came after they were named.
- Flipped to be bear or ursid. I'm not sure about the "ursa" bit- it's not directly from ursa, it's from Ursidae, which is itself derived from "ursa", but so is Ursinae, Ursus, Ursida, and Ursoidea, and Ursid doesn't derive from any of those. Additionally, that "bear" maps to "ursid" is almost an accident for species- when the name arose for these animals, it did not apply to, say, the giant panda- but that's a "bear" now. It originally just meant "brown bear", because that's what's in Europe, and it turns out after we started calling all 8 species "bears" because they looked like they were, that for once that was correct, so the common term for the family continues to match. (As opposed to, say, the red panda... which isn't a panda, or a bear.) Tons of the common names for groups of animals no longer make much sense with modern dna analysis- in canidae, for example, what animals are "fox" vs. a "dog" or "wolf" is pretty loose compared to the actual genetics of the situation as soon as you get out of Europe. Additionally, how animals are divided into families/genera is nowadays based on their genetics (with, granted, a lot of historical weight), and not on what the common English name for a group of animals is called- saying that all members of Ursidae are bears because the term "bear" is the basis of the family, as opposed to the genetic situation, just isn't correct.
- The note "All extinct species or subspecies listed alongside extant species went extinct after 1500 CE, and are indicated by a dagger symbol" does appear applicable and should be removed.
- It is applicable- the U. a. crowtheri (Atlas bear) subspecies of the brown bear has it.
- Avoid redlinks in the Prehistoric ursids section, else redirects to the subfamily may be appropriate.
- Why, beyond aesthetics? While I avoid redlinks for species names, as the chances of any one of them getting an article is scant and the sea of red difficult to parse, genera (even prehistoric genera) are good and likely candidates for articles (as evidence, many of them do have articles). WP:REDLINK.

- Brown bear range also includes parts of Europe.
- For polar bear link "supratidal" and maybe "intertidal".
- Link less well known food e.g. "beluga whales", "kelp"
- I agree with Reywas92 above about the name of the article and so maybe the first 4 sentences could become something like:
"Bears make up/comprise/ the family of mammals called Ursidae in the order Carnivora; including the giant panda, brown bear, and polar bear. The many living/extant and extinct bears are also known as ursids, from the Latin ursa. Bears are widespread across the Americas and Eurasia ,mostly (living)/ :most live in forests, though some species live in grassland and savana, and polar bear habitat is arctic and surrounding sea/polar bear habitat is arctic (ice) land and sea/polar bears live in the Arctic." or "Bears, being classified by scientists as the family Ursidae in the Carnivora order of mammals, are also known as ursids, from the Latin ursa. Many species are already extinct but the polar bear and giant panda survive for now. The brown bear thrives across the forests of North America and Eurasia; and there are less well known species, some living in grassland and savana."
- What about the overlap with the Bear page as questioned on this article's talk page?

If you have not already done so perhaps you could take a quick peek at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of active coal fired power stations in Turkey/archive1 Chidgk1 (talk) 17:48, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Finally getting back to this, starting with these comments: did the links and fixed the map caption. I disagree about renaming the page, and will discuss further below Reywas92's comments. The talk page comment is from 2013 and reflects a very different page. --PresN 02:59, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comments by Dudley
[edit]- I think the lead should cover diet.
- Clade should be wikilinked.
- "if a range map is not available, a description of the bear's range is provided". Why do you say this when all species have both?
- A first class list. These points are minor. Dudley Miles (talk) 12:45, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Dudley Miles: Added diet to lead, linked clade, and removed that sentence (it's part of my default template for these lists, but accidentally didn't get dropped when it turned out all species had a map). Thanks for reviewing! --PresN 16:24, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from TRM
[edit](WikiCup entry)
- The IUCN table leaks badly into the next section which then pushes the Classification diagram down. Are all the IUCN categories with zero relevance here needed?
- I've modified the template to let me suppress the "other categories" section, since that's all 0 for this family. The main categories should stay, though, as readers shouldn't be expected to know what the 7 red list categories are (e.g. that there's a step in between "least concern" and "vulnerable".
- In Ursids section, giant panda and brown bear are overlinked.
- Unlinked
- "500-1,000 " should be en-dash.
- Fixed
- Over what period are the population trend icons based?
- I can't find how the IUCN defines it; I believe it's a snapshot, e.g. at the time the assessment was last updated what was the trend. They're major directional markers, not transitory.
- Where, for example, is "(H. Milne-Edwards, 1870) " etc. referenced/explained?
- The "authorities" are from Mammal Species of the World, e.g. here's an online version of the Ursidae section: [20]. I can add explicit cites if you think I should? The names/dates are weird in the bio world, sources just slap them next to the latin names as if it's common knowledge that "H. Milne-Edwards, 1870" first described the Ailuropoda genus.
- Likewise "David, 1869" etc.
- The range map e.g. of giant panda, doesn't seem to closely match that provided by IUCN.
- Updated the image, after reminding myself how to use Inkscape...
- "2,500-10,000" en-dash.
- Fixed
- It may be worth including a year for when the estimated populations are being given.
- It's implicitly the date of the citation; I can pull it into the text explicitly if needs be.
- I may have asked this before, but how are the range maps accessible to screen readers etc? Is the information available in another form?
- You did, which is why all the maps have a text description above them- e.g. "Andes mountains in South America", to cover both screen readers and if the reader doesn't recognize the area displayed on the map.
- How do the already-collapsed lists meet MOS:COLLAPSE?
- My understanding is that they way I've done it is fine because it doesn't collapse for screen readers, mobile devices, etc- on those it's expanded and can't be collapsed.
- "Tribe" suddenly appears, perhaps link to Tribe (biology)?
- Added in the summary paragraph.
