Nominator(s): Neonblak talk - 10:50, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets the FL criteria. As usual, any issues will be addressed in prompt manner. Neonblak talk - 10:50, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments:

  • Ref. to Ref(s), as it uses more than one ref at some players.
  • Headers should use scope="col" and the players in the table should use scope="row", not to forget the table cation (+XYZ) and plainrowheaders so they wont center and bold. see the Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster (S) as an exemple from two bellow this list.
  • † and § should be converted to thier templeate for ACCESS (due to JEWS readers), with alt aswell. Exemple ‹See TfM›†, to all that located there.

A note: the use of the plainrowheaders class is optional and the choice of the primary editor, and the § symbol is read properly by JAWS (I assume this is what you refer to above) and does not require substitution by template. — KV5 • Talk • 21:35, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Made the appropriate changes noted here. If the table is fine, I will leave it as is.Neonblak talk - 04:03, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The table does still need row headers, captions, etc. The only optional things are the addition of the PRH class and the swap of symbols for templates. — KV5 • Talk • 01:35, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Table switched over, not sure if this is an upgrade though, but whatever people want :) Still have issues with it, such as the position key needs to moved to the right, player photos don't line-up flush with the table, a large gap between the table and the player photos. If you have any suggestions on how to correct these, please let me know. I will have time later today to work on this.Neonblak talk - 14:17, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Format the table like the Myron Allen entry is formatted. Albacore (talk) 19:56, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Used albacore's fix, resolved the position key issue (deleted it, expanded positions in table), and added team photo for lead, move Hamilton down to list.Neonblak talk - 03:08, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from KV5
Comments from KV5
  • Unbold team name in lead.
  • Years in baseball should not be linked in prose because they are not given sufficient context to warrant it.
  • winning just 22"
  • "Slidin'" Billy Hamilton - his nickname is not "Slidin'", it's "Slidin' Billy", so the more appropriate link would be as follows: "Slidin' Billy" Hamilton.
  • Improve image captions alongside table; they give little context at present. I know previous FLs for all-time rosters have had captions like this, but see the above-linked Phillies "S" roster for more appropriate and explanatory captions.
  • Dave Rowe needs a symbol.

Hope these comments help. — KV5 • Talk • 21:42, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –
  • "then moved to Exposition Park for 1889 season." Feels like it's missing "the" before the year.
  • Repeat word in "He was replaced with with non-playing manager Bill Watkins".
  • John Bates: "He was released from the team following the conclusion of game." Would be better as "conclusion of the game" or "game's conclusion".
  • Jim Donahue: Missing "with" in "then split time at the position Charlie Hoover...".
  • Frank Hafter: "His career consisted of two complete games losses in May 1888." Make "games" singular.
  • Charlie Hoover: "when split time as the team's starting catcher with Jim Donahue." Needs "he" before "split".
  • Chippy McGarr: Typo in "Wester League".
  • Bill Phillips: "In the last of his ten-season career". Feels like it needs another "season" after last.
  • Henry Porter: "Porter led the franchise in many major pitching including...". Another missing word here, before "including". Giants2008 (27 and counting) 02:23, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
All corrected.Neonblak talk - 14:17, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "after beginning the season with win–loss record of 14–36 through 50 games." Missing "a" after "with".

  • The alt on the first picture, "A baseball player is posing for a photograph, five men standing, five men sitting on chairs, and two are sitting on the floor." should be fixed to say "Baseball players..." – Muboshgu (talk) 23:03, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I did that due to the two other Cowboys teams; one in the Union Association (1884) and another in the National League (1886). However, both of those two were only at the "major league" level for one season each. But since I thought they could still hypothetically have their own all-time roster, I pre-emptively disambiguated.Neonblak talk - 10:32, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "the team's player-manager for a period of 56 games " v "1888, he managed 58 games." maybe he didn't play in the last two he managed, but this is slightly confusing.
  • "he led the team with 5 home runs." 5->five.
  • Ref 1 needs an en-dash as the year separator.
