Epic effort, and good to see it all coming to a successful looking conclusion here! Couple of minor comments:
- What is a "position player"? This should be clarified with a note or a link.
- "One player, Bucky Walters, has made 30% or more of his Phillies appearances as a pitcher and a position player." – Did he as both a pitcher and a position player in 30% of his games? Ie, only pitched for part of the game, and uhmmm.. positioned for the rest? (My ignorance shines brightly with this question I think!) Harrias talk 14:14, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Last sentence of first paragraph explains the difference between position players (the "offensive players") and pitchers. As to Walters, he played as a pitcher in >30% of his appearances, and at another, non-pitching position (primarily third base in this case) at >30% of his appearances. — KV5 • Talk • 14:21, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Right; it's not clear from the article that "position player" means the same as "offensive player", so I still think some clarification is needed. For the Walters sentence, I had assumed the other version, so again I think a clarification is needed, though I'll admit, I'm at something of a loss as to how it would be worded. Harrias talk 14:37, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I'll take care of the link, although I do have to go back through the entire series and do it now. I mulled over that wording when originally writing and it's the best I could come up with. — KV5 • Talk • 16:21, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments – Some silly mistakes littered
- Check italicization of online versus printed sources. You have Billboard non-italicized in many of them. : Done
- Allmusic should always be in capital. : Done
- Promotional singles: Why include the dance and korea charts if its not present in the other sections? A discography should contain 10 biggest market constant charts, and should not vary according to the artist's acomplishments in a varibale genre or market. : Fair enough, removed
- Same for other charted. : Done
- No capital lettering in reference titles please even though the original reference might show it. : Done
- In the infobox, why not change the "As featured artist" to "Featured singles"? A consistency would be maintained. : Done
- Billboard link for "If We Ever Meet Again" has the title as "Timbaland Perry Billboard..." lol : Done
- Consistency between MTV reference formattings. : Done
- Consistency in including RIANZ with Radioscope reference or not. : Done
- What is the need for reference #2 to be formatted with {{harvnb}}? Its a single journal reference.
- Dutch Top 40 website is actually published by Radio 538, while MegaCharts is the one who compiles it.
Overall a clean effort, well teh sanitizer was wrong. lol. — Legolas (talk2me) 12:11, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I have cleaned up the two points that the nominator was not able to understand. Over all good to support this. One question, how did you nominate this article since the talk page shows a red link to the nomination page? — Legolas (talk2me) 06:17, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Seems like another silly mistake, I corrected the article talk page. — Legolas (talk2me) 06:19, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Unlink singer-songwriter and musician Done
- I wasn't able to access ref 45, if it does require a subscription then you should make a note of that in the reference. Done (reference was deleted as I deleted the chart per comments raised above.)
- "(behind Michael Jackson and his album, Bad)" how about "behind Michael Jackson and his Bad album"? or just remove the comma
- I think it's better how it is, though perhaps removing the brackets altogether would be worth attempting. J Milburn (talk) 08:10, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment I'm a little confused. Here, Ur So Gay is listed both as a promotional single and an extended play, but both links lead to the same article which calls it a promotional single. What's correct? Pancake (talk) 00:33, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- It's both. It was released as an EP, but the song itself was released as a promotional single for the EP. The actual articles on here are crap. Ur So Gay is an ep, "Ur So Gay" is a promo song/single (not an actual single). - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 00:39, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from Michael Jester:
- Great work on the article, however, I have one comment. Where are the references about her "albums" that failed to be released (referring to the ones in the first paragraph in the lead)?
—Michael Jester (talk) 07:23, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]- They are at the end of the first paragraph, reference number 2. "She subsequently recorded an album at the age of seventeen with producer Glen Ballard and record label Island Def Jam; the album failed, and was not released. In 2004, she signed to Columbia Records and started work on her third album, but was dropped again before it could be released. Perry eventually signed to Capitol and released her debut pop album, One of the Boys." is all sourced with that reference. - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 07:26, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Alright, that's fine. I now feel I can Support. Great work on the article.

Taking a break from the team records articles, those are becoming tedious. Only real issue I can see with this list is that not all the year references offer producers/personnel for the nominees.

Support with one caveat: It seems odd to have the images end so soon. Are there any other images you could add so that they can be seen while reading the whole list? Ruby comment! 18:44, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Added another image. On my viewing platform the photos are above the table, so I hope this addresses the concern. Albacore (talk) 22:52, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I'd recommend alphabetizing the Nominees column by artist's last name. For example , the order for 1994 would be Cleese, Grover, Sesame, Various artists, etc. In the Performing artist(s) column, I do not believe the sort name template is necessary for all names where multiple occur (the template is only needed for the first name; others can follow without using the template). For example, for 2000 only Greene would need the sortname template. Other reviewers, feel free to correct me this I am wrong. I made a few edits to the list, mostly to make it consistent with other Grammy-related FLs. --Another Believer (Talk) 04:57, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The "Nominees" column is sorted by the title of the work. Does it matter which way it's sorted (i.e what's the benefit from sorting the column by the performer's last lame)? As for the sort names, leaving them there, to my knowledge, doesn't hurt the sortability of the table. Albacore (talk) 23:50, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- OK. I suppose just for the sake of consistency, as all other (to the best of my knowledge) Grammy-related FLs are sorted by artist name in the Nominees column. As for the name sorting, it seems to me having a sort template is unnecessary if it is nonfunctional. --Another Believer (Talk) 04:12, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Ordered the nominees by last name. Albacore (talk) 14:12, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I removed the unnecessary sortname templates and support this promotion of this list, assuming all other reviewers' concerns are addressed. --Another Believer (Talk) 22:33, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Opening sentence, we know its a club from its full name, so the rest of it doesn't make sense. And a club is a collective word, hence shouldn't be plural. Try, "Tranmere Rovers Football Club was founded in 1884, and was/is based in Birkenhead, Wirral."
- I disagree with the second half of your comment. The discretionary plural is commonly applied to sports teams in British English. Whilst I don't think either form (singular or plural) is more correct, I tend to prefer Tranmere/the club/the team are... U+003F? 21:43, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- though the directors continued to pick the team --> What is the significance of this phrase? Were the directors supposed to be involved in picking a manager also? Its not clear.
- Changed to "continued to choose the team for each game". Is that clearer? U+003F? 21:43, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- where they were, again, founder members --> you don't need the commas here. works fine as a continuous sentence
- he introduced an all-white strip --> This is not clear, was it the cloths or mascot or waht?
- Replaced strip with kit, is that more clear? U+003F? 21:43, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- and making 241 appearances --> appearances as?
- Reordered sentence for clarity. U+003F? 21:43, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Betweem Aldridge and Parry, there seems to be no mention of the intermediate managers? What did they do wrong?
- I don't think it's necessary to mention all the managers. As it stands, the history focuses on those who've won something. U+003F? 21:43, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Why is the "To" column not sorted?
- There should be a heading for the column containing references to the statistics.
- 1913–4 --> 1913–14
- Check the date ranges in the notes section. 1939–1942 should be 1939–42.
- In the references, what is "Footy Mad"?

- Do you refer to tranmererovers.co.uk, currently used in three refs? That's the club's official website, so it's hard to see how it could not be reliable for info on the club...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:43, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Finally, alt text for Image:Bert_Cooke.jpg is wrong. Please see WP:ALT. — Legolas (talk2me) 19:09, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

U+003F? 21:43, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]It was changed to |alt=Black and white photograph of a man wearing a flat cap and a suit, but I think this is wrong too, as per the context example.

- What makes Historical Football Kits (ref 17) a reliable source?
- I would argue that the site has a comprehensive and well-researched kit history for all British teams. But I don't know how to be certain of its reliability, other than the rather tame note that it's used on other featured pages (such as Arsenal F.C.) But if it's not good enough, I could change "these have been Tranmere's usual colours since" to a weaker statement about these being Tranmere's colours today. U+003F? 09:28, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- HFK creator David Moor is a published author on the subject of football kits (see here) - does that help at all....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:19, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Not 100% sure one way or the other. I think I'll leave this out so other reviewers can have a look. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 21:14, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Please don't strike a reviewer's comments before they've had a chance to look at the changes. It goes against FLC instructions and creates problems if further work is needed on an issue (it happens more than you'd think). Giants2008 (27 and counting) 18:04, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –
"13 years after the start of the first world championships had been inaugurated." Last three words feel redundant to me."The first championship in 1962 awarded points from first to six place". "six" → "sixth".Also, the comma after this should be a semi-colon, I think."Stefan Dorflinger won the second most championships second with four." Excess "second" here, and there's a missing "and" immediately after the comma here."Swiss and German riders were second with four and Dutch riders were third with three". The Dutch riders would be fourth, not third, since there was a tie for second.Now it doesn't say how many wins the Swiss and German riders had.Giants2008 (27 and counting) 21:05, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Really should double-check the changes, anyway I've fixed it. NapHit (talk) 21:56, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Don't need to link the 1962 or 1989 seasons twice in the lead. 1989 is actually linked three times.Footnotes A and B: Is the serial comma being used or not? It is for A, but not B. Should be consistent in both.Giants2008 (27 and counting) 21:25, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because it incorporates all of the comments from the three previously FL promoted SEC coaches' lists (Alabama, Auburn and Tennessee). Hopefully I have caught most of the issues, but there is always something after a fresh set of eyes looks at it. Thanks to all who take the time to look at this as all comments to better the list are greatly appreciated. Cheers! Patriarca12 (talk) 23:34, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- George McLaren is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame. He went in as a player not a coach. Maybe change the Key to read "Elected to the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach" 09er (talk) 04:33, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Done. Thanks for taking a look at this! Patriarca12 (talk) 09:38, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Patriarca12, the prevailing standard is to note HOF induction as either a player or a coach (e.g. List of Michigan Wolverines head football coaches). So, I reverted your change to the table key and added the HOF notation for McLaren. You may want to add a note to qualify McLaren's induction as a player, as a I have done for Jim Crowley here: List of college football coaches with a .750 winning percentage.

Ref 22 doesn't say Arkansas lost the bowl game in question, and the list doesn't have anything mentioning it. I'd say it could use another reference.Giants2008 (27 and counting) 22:21, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Added an additional reference regarding the actual loss. Thanks for taking a look at this! Patriarca12 (talk) 02:40, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The table is too wide for my screen, forcing me to scroll sideways to view the whole table, which is less than ideal. Could you remove the no wrap element in the awards section to remedy this? I appreciate it would make that slightly more difficult to follow, but on the other hand, it would make the whole table easier to see! (The Lists you mention in your nomination all have this problem too. I wouldn't oppose on these grounds, but I think it would be a better list if the width fit on a 1280 screen.
- Done.
- "..since it began play during the 1894 season. Since.." – A bit repititious on "since", could you replace one of them with another word? In fact, the last sentence of the first paragraph would probably be better phrased differently anyway. Harrias talk 16:55, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – In the first sentence of the second paragraph, the "and 24 with" part doesn't work that well when looking at the sentence as a whole.

Initially a quick DYK because I loved the lady in the red dress, I made this list into a proper job, with refs, alt text, scopes, no dabs, etc etc etc and had a bloody good time while doing it. I defer to the community now to decide if it's of any use as a featured list. Rest assured, real-life aside, I'll do whatever I can to ensure the nomination succeeds, and thank each and every one of you good and handsome people for spending your valuable time reading this nomination, and more so if you can spend some time reviewing the list.

- You have the first reference of BBC News as unlinked, however all the The Guardian references are linked. Any reason? To maintain consistency, you should have the first instance of every new work and publisher linked, else don't link any one at all.
- I'm linking them all because there's no guarantee which reference will hit to start with. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:43, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I believe per WP:ACCESS there should be a scope="row" for the primary sortable column.
- Done, I selected the fellows themselves as the primary sorting col. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:53, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, since it is just four columns, I do think you can hard-code a width value to extend the table. For narrow-screen monitors its fine, but for wide-screens, the table appearts squeezed to the extreme left, and the photos to the extreme right. Since we cannot move the photos around, we can extend the table a bit more, I believe.
- Have made the cols slightly wider but I just don't want them to be too wide for our minimum supported resolution, hope that's okay for you? The Rambling Man (talk) 10:53, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, can you find some secondary reference for the inductions other than those from BFI? Its not a mandated thing, but I generally believe in supporting primary along with secondary too.
- Where I can I have, I've only used the BFI where I had too... I will have another look though since it was a few months back that I collated the list originally. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:43, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
