2016 AFL Rising Star edit

Featured list candidates/2016 AFL Rising Star/archive1

Nominator(s): Allied45 (talk) 05:03, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is now my sixth AFL-related FLC, and follows on from my previous successful nominations for AFL Rising Star and 2017 AFL Rising Star. Allied45 (talk) 05:03, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Not much to pick up on here, but I wouldn't bold Callum Mills in the first table. Bold isn't supposed to be used for emphasis and I don't think you need to mark him out as the overall winner in that table because the second one serves that purpose. Also, I would reverse "Mills became the first New South Wales–born player to win the award, and the third Sydney recipient" and mention his club first. As it is written there is the slight possibility that "third Sydney recipient" could be taken to mean "third player born in Sydney" and I think changing the order would remove that possibility..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:31, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Done and done :) Allied45 (talk) 08:17, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Change the hover/{{Abbr}} text on the Ref. header to "Reference" since all rows have only one reference.

I see nothing else needing attention. Well done. NatureBoyMD (talk) 20:09, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks NatureBoyMD, this is done. Allied45 (talk) 09:19, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from zmbro

Comparing this to 2017 AFL Rising Star, the lead seems short compared to that one. I think you should have the paragraph from 2017 about the nominating process in all these Rising Star lists for consistency; it also gives the reader insight on the process. I also think this would look better because having an image go into the references just looks weird to me.
Sorry for being nitpicky but going along with 2017, put the "round" column in the table in the front

Great job on this. – zmbro _(talk) 03:11, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments Zmbro! In response to your concerns, I was advised in my most recent FLC for AFL Rising Star that the scope in the table should always be in the first column. This is why I have rearranged it to have the player first. Once this FLC goes through, I will use this is the "new standard" and can modify 2017 so it is consistent. In regards to the lead, I removed the extensive explanation about the nomination process and instead linked it to the relevant section in the main AFL Rising Star article. I believe this is better than essentially replicating the same information in 25 or so articles, particularly if there are any changes or updates (it is easier to update in one place!). Again, I can modify 2017 so it is in similar style. I get your point about the images, but it is never going to look the same on all devices anyway. I hope this helps address your comments :) — Allied45 (talk) 10:27, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Makes sense to me. Happy to support :-) – zmbro _(talk) 16:58, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Source review

Mostly AFL sources which are all acceptable. The non-AFL sources, SBS Australia, The Sydney Morning Herald, ABC News Australia, Herald Sun, Jimboomba Times, The Age, TV Tonight, and the Bunbury Mail all pass reliability tests. Sourcing contains consistent parameters. Ref bots don't bring up any concerns as well. ~~My one concern is that there is no clear indication about where the 2005 data is sourced from.~~ DanielleTH ^{(Say hi!)} 16:30, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks DanielleTH, may I ask what you mean by "2005 data"? Allied45 (talk) 10:22, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Allied45: Oh! I'm so sorry, I was source checking two FLCs at once and put that onto the wrong one! I support the FLC, the sources are all good. DanielleTH ^{(Say hi!)} 14:45, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@DanielleTH: No worries, thanks! Allied45 (talk) 08:27, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
