I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets the description of a featured list. NatureBoyMD (talk) 02:21, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment – Reference 17 should include an indication that the page is in PDF format. Other than that I'm not finding anything to complain about. Solid work. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 23:27, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Done. NatureBoyMD (talk) 01:14, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • Support – Was waiting on the comments below to be resolved before supporting. Now that they have been, I see no reason not to do so. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 23:04, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

*Comments:
    • Newspapers should be linked when referenced, i.e. Evening Independent, The Gadsden Times, etc.
      • As far as I know, no guideline has ever required that. Dabomb87 (talk) 13:59, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        • I'm holding off on doing this one. This is the first time I've been told these should be linked. If it's a deal-breaker, they can be linked, but I don't see the need. NatureBoyMD (talk) 18:51, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Normally I'd ask for lead citations, but since it's all information that's mentioned in the tables and cited there, I don't mind it.
    • There is variation between having citations in the table in the final column and having a group of cites in the last sentence preceding the table. It looks a bit odd, as I would prefer the tables be consistent.

  • References have been relocated to tables. See comment above concerning newspaper links. NatureBoyMD (talk) 18:51, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • "A few Sounds players " reads a little colloquial to me, perhaps "A number of.."?
  • No need to repeat first names of people you go onto to mention e.g. Ray Durham -> Durham in subsequent mentions.
  • I'd prefer the col widths to be the same in each category from section to section.
  • Sometimes you have more than one ref so I guess, for those tables "Ref(s)" would be a more appropriate heading.
  • Any reason why "Hustler" is in capitals in "Best Hustler"?
  • Is there a key for 1B, 2B etc?

The Rambling Man (talk) 20:02, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Most changes made per above. The title, "Best Hustler," is capitalized here because the Southern League capitalizes it here. I made column widths for names, positions, etc the same width in each section (awards, all-stars, and league leaders). However, I couldn't figure out how to make the "Ref" and "Record" columns a fixed size and unsortable. Can someone help out with the proper syntax? NatureBoyMD (talk) 02:59, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I finally got the fixed width/unsortableness to work. NatureBoyMD (talk) 18:06, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Recipient (in Southern League (1978–1984) table) doesn't sort correctly in Safari (it'll be down to the en-dashes). The Rambling Man (talk) 19:06, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Review
  • "Three team managers have won Manager of the Year honors (Stump Merrill, Rick Renick, and Frank Kremblas). " -- I understand using parenthesis for the other sentences, but it would be better if you used a colon here IMO.
  • "Three players have been chosen as the MVP or "Star of Stars", as it was sometimes called, for mid-season all-star games: Duane Walker (1979), Ray Durham (1994), and Ordóñez (1997)." -- that "Star of Stars" statement, IDK it seems a bit POV-ish, especially with the "as it was sometimes called". Is there a reference to directly source that?
  • Wouldn't the Southern League Reference be published by Minor League Baseball?
  • Great list overall, just those small issues above.--Truco 503 17:49, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Bullet 1 & 3 done. I don't have a reference that actually reports the name change but you can see here that the name changes twice from 2003 to 2005. This shows that the winner was designated "MVP" in 1988 and became "Star of Stars" in 1989. Should I reference those pages, reword, or leave as is? NatureBoyMD (talk) 18:06, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • For verifiability, I would source that just so no future conflict arises.--Truco 503 16:00, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
