I am nominating this for featured list because I found it interesting, sourced everything nicely and hopefully did a reasonable job of sorting etc.. Thanks for your time in reviewing. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:21, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On my screen the image of Jesse Owens is longer than the text next to it, creating some annoying white space between the lead and the table.
- I guess this is because you are operating at a reasonably high horizontal resolution. The only possible solution is to make the lead image a bespoke size (it's currently an upright|thumb) or delete it altogether. Which would you prefer to see?

  - Hmmm... I guess! I never really think of my work laptop as being that wide, but I suppose 1280 is larger than the norm! I should probably stop using my PC screen (1680 width) to design pages! I'm not too sure to be honest, because having the image much smaller would limit its value I think. I suppose I just have to put up with having a bit of white space when using a wider monitor. I'll give it some more thought, but I've switched my comment to support in the mean time anyway, it's a nice list. I won't hide this under a resolved header so that other people can offer any opinions on this topic.Harrias ^talk 18:27, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yeah, it's easily done. And some people don't like the space between the table and the column of images, but it's either that or stick them right to the side of the table which looks odd if you have an image in the lead which is over on the right-hand side. Difficult...! The Rambling Man (talk) 18:40, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Can you make the reference column unsortable.
- Done, good spot (I blew it when I added accessibility code!) The Rambling Man (talk) 16:18, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Otherwise no real issues from me. Harrias ^talk 15:52, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments Harrias! The Rambling Man (talk) 16:18, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support The only problem I have is whitespace between end of lead and first header (I use Chrome). It's not that nice. Adabow (talk · contribs) 09:57, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Comment~~ Support – ~~Only issue I see is that reference 2 doesn't include a publisher.~~ Giants2008 (27 and counting) 21:11, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Dang, it was there but there was no = sign between it and publisher. Fixed now, thanks! The Rambling Man (talk) 08:53, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support cannot see any issues with the article. Arsenikk ^(talk) 21:28, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
