I've spent the last two or three weeks working on this list and feel that it now meets the FL requirements, let me know what you think..... ChrisTheDude 12:33, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I contributed at the peer review and almost all of my comments have been dealt with. One left, a minor one, the {{Cite book}} template, when using it for the same reference repeatedly, I'm not sure you need to repeat the ISBN etc. I'd just use the author surname, the name of the book and the page number...

Oppose The lead could certainly be more than a mere explanation for the criteria for inclusion. Circeus 00:06, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment List of Arsenal F.C. players, List of Liverpool F.C. players, List of Manchester United F.C. players and List of Aston Villa F.C. players are all Featured Lists and have leads which simply set out the criteria for inclusion. Could you elaborate a little on what else you think could/should go in there.....? ChrisTheDude 07:02, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Right now we're talking about _this_ list, not the others. And it could start with mentioning how many players it includes, possibly stuff like longest careers, most goals etc. Circeus 16:25, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - I've expanded the lead per your comments ChrisTheDude 22:20, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - Support. Nice extra adding the mention in the table. Circeus 19:20, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

~~Comment~~ The "Record" column gives "Most League appearances", "Most League and Cup appearances" and "Most goals scored". Is the latter for League and Cup appearances, and shouldn't there be "Most League goals scored" too? Oh, and Wally Battiste had two spells at the club - this explains Triggs' book giving 152 appearances. Mattythewhite 19:14, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed the Battiste point. Brian Yeo holds the record for most goals both in League games alone and in all comps, I'll change the table to reflect that..... ChrisTheDude 21:57, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One really minor thing left - Batiste needs the years for his second spell. Mattythewhite 14:49, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gah, you can tell I made the last round of changes late at night. Sorted now..... ChrisTheDude 14:55, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support Good job. Mattythewhite 15:06, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support Looks good. Follows the previous footy lists and builds on them. It meets all the criteria as far as i can see. Good work. Woodym555 15:42, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support Good lead, clear, non-messy table layout and well referenced. I might have been tempted to note "most appearances by an outfielder", as it's usually goalkeepers who hold the overall appearances records, but that's a minor matter. Struway2 | Talk 12:24, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, I've added it in ChrisTheDude 12:48, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
