List of Fulham F.C. players edit

Featured list candidates/List of Fulham F.C. players/archive1

Nominator(s): 03 md 05:23, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because after a peer review I think is ready to become a featured list. Any comments are appreciated. 03 md 05:23, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

There will no doubt be some discussion over the title (e.g. should it include "(100 appearances or more)")
Personal preference but I don't like links to our Category space being presented like that (I'd pipelink it, but I know you can't in that template) - similarly I don't like seeing the # link either, it's okay for those of us who know what that means, but it's confusing to non-Wiki-expert readers. I'd opt for not using the "see also" template, and write it out as you like, still indented and in italics, but taking advantage of pipelinking, e.g.
"This article is about players who have made more than 100 apperances for Fulham. For a list of all Fulham players, major or minor, with a Wikipedia article, see the Fulham F.C. players category. For the current Fulham first-team squad, see current squad."

Done.

Lead image could be made larger, and could use alt text. I think the caption could be reduced too.

Done - feel free to alter the alt text as I have not used it much before.

"They initially played at Fulham Fields before a move to Craven Cottage in 1896. They played their first ..." merge.

Is that what you meant.

"pass the 100-appearance mark..." when did he do this?

Found the best ref I could for that.

"Half back" is a dab link.
"ordered by the year in which they debuted for the club and then alphabetically by surname" not true, initially 1905 has Threlfall ahead of Collins... There may be others!!
"Int. country [nb 1]" remove space between text and note.
"for 2002–03 and 2009–10 are" can we have "the" after "for" and "seasons" before "are" here please?
Gibbon has no "Wales".
I don't think "None" should sort between Netherlands and Northern Ireland. Probably should sort dead last or dead first.
Albert Sewell's ref needs an en-dash.
Same with fifth gen ref.
Refs 1 & 3 have double full stop, you'll need to "trick" the template here...
Refs 10 to 22 (ex 21) need en-dashes in number ranges in the titles...

Comments –

The 1902–03 season link would be better served as a link to that season's FA Cup.
Players: "This list contains players who have made more than 100 appearancs for the Fulham". Remove "the".
"The figure for league appearances and goals...". Should "figure" be plural? It's talking about two stats.
No need for the repeat competition links in the second paragraph.
The last three general references are formatted as if they were external links. Is this meant to be a form of shorthand? If not, I recommend formatting them just like regular citations.
Reference 8 has a formatting glitch in the publisher.
Authors have a mix of styles in whether the first or last name comes first. Pick one and stick with it. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 22:25, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose – After almost three weeks, my issues remain unaddressed along with those of two other reviewers. At a time when FLC is pushing 40 lists, we can't afford to leave stagnant noms here. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 21:05, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Source(s) for international appearances?
Re bluelinks: Roberto Herrera seems to be an Argentinian dancer and Gary Barnett a player of American football; are you sure all the other links are correct?
Several of the links to the Times Online multipage piece are wrong (the number range in the reference title doesn't match with the page the url points to).
Please be consistent about whether you're using both work and publisher for references to the same work (e.g. #2 references Independent Online as a work without publisher but #6 does have a publisher). There's no real need to have both, for well-known works, but whatever you do, check they're correct: compare the publishers of #3 and ##11–20: one of them has to be wrong.
It says the stats are correct as of 19 March, but the accessdates for the current players' Soccerbase pages are all 23 January...
There are hyphens in the career dates column that should be endashes
I'd call Trevor "Tosh" Chamberlain just Tosh Chamberlain, that's his common name

hope this helps, Struway2 (talk) 15:35, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
