List of UEFA Cup winners edit
I'm nominating this list for featured list status as I believe that the list meets all the necessary requirements to become a featured list. Thanks in advance for your comments NapHit (talk) 19:08, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - in the key, "Champion won by after extra time on a penalty shootout" is grammatical gibberish. It should probably be "Champion won by a penalty shootout after extra time" - ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:07, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments
- See my comment re:Primary sources in the European Cup list. I'm guessing there's a couple more of these lists to come so please address these comments on those too.
- Don't like the "pictured here" - it's pretty clear what that image is.
- I'd like to understand the scope of the competition as early as possible in the lead rather than the inaugural winners.
- Shouldn't the heading "Two-legs " be "Two-legged finals" or "Finals over two legs"?
- Since the first table is unsortable you have a load of overlinking going on.
- Not sure I'm keen on the different table types being used.
- Be consistent with headings e.g. Country in first table, nothing in the second.
- In the first table, "Home Team" could just be "Home team". Same for away.
- "most successful teams" table = "Runners-Up" - just "Runners-up" please.

I'm a bit confused by this list. It says it's a list of UEFA Cup winners, but the tables appear to contain a list of finals, where much more width is given to the name of the stadium, the city and the country where the final was held than is given to the winner. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 17:37, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The list is similar to List of Super Bowl champions where the venue and the location of the venue are included, essentially it is still a list of winners as the finals are a match, therefore having a list of winners without the scores and runners-up in my opinion would make the list incomplete, I could remove the venue and location if you wished but I feel it would be to the etriment of the list. Also there is more width given to the venue and city, as they are generally longer than team names. NapHit (talk) 17:45, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't have a problem with the other information being there; it ought to be there. I just think 1) too much width is devoted to the venue, and 2) the actual winner isn't highlighted in any way. For instance, do the stadium and the city/country need to be in separate columns? they used not to be when this table was on the main UEFA Cup article. Or if you think they ought to be separate, could a line break be added between the city and the country? (Afterthought: not sure how much that'd help with Monchengladbach...) The Superbowl article is different, in that the teams are coloured by Conference and there's no need for flag/country columns, so it's easy to pick out the important items on each row. Not that I'm advocating colouring the table in, you understand, how the Superbowl list does it runs counter to MoS for a start, but perhaps each winner could be bolded to make it more noticeable? See what you think. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 18:30, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- More comments (separated from above to avoid confusion)
- Not sure how much the 2nd and 3rd sentences would mean to readers who didn't already know how the UEFA Cup works.
- As you're calling them Internazionale in the table, perhaps you should in the lead as well.
- Move the Fairs Cup disclaimer to the end of the lead.
- You've changed the page title to "winners" but still use "champions" in the key and the by-country table.
- Bit of a stutter over penalty shootout in key :-)
- Would it look tidier if the individual column widths in the two finals tables were fixed, so the single-final table followed on cleanly from the first one?
- And, would it be clearer if the flag/country column for the second-named club came after the club name column rather than before? so you got club: score: club in the middle without flags interfering with the match result.
- 1979 and 1980 have got themselves messed up.
- Why does the Single finals table need to be sortable?
- Typos at 1993 winner line, 1994 Salazburg.
- In 2001, Liverpool won on golden goal, not aet.
- Don't think you say anywhere what the numbers in brackets after the club names mean.
- In Most successful clubs table, Red Star Belgrade has a Serbian flag and Casino Salzburg is called Red Bull Salzburg.
- Why do we need flags in that table at all?
- In By country table, for consistency Nation column should be called Country.
- I appreciate why you've sought out a variety of sources, but perhaps the UEFA page for the 1989 final would be better than an unofficial Napoli site.
- Newspaper references should have the name of the paper as a work rather than a publisher. And ref #26 should be BBC Sport rather than BBC, for consistency with the other BBC Sport refs.
Hope some of this helps, cheers, Struway2 (talk) 20:25, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- In 1995, could use a note as to why Juventus played their home leg at the San Siro.
- You may not be aware that citations can be attached to footnotes in the same way as to anywhere else in an article (I wasn't until recently). See for example West Bromwich Albion F.C. seasons footnotes F & G. Seeing as you've found out why they didn't play at their own ground, seems a shame not to prove it. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 21:07, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
- "that was" in the opening sentence is redundant
- Widen the "nat" columns so the flags and ISO-3 names are on one line.
- You've used the emdash in this list for "empty" cells, but the endash in the Champions League list. Assuming you're going for a WP:FT (or even just because they're similar lists), they should be consistent.
- "years won" and "years runners up" columns don't need to be sortable as they only sort by the first year given
- There's a typo in the website name on reference 33

- Thank for the comments Matthew I've dealt with them all now NapHit (talk) 16:44, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- You're welcome. I added 1% to the column widths of NAT, because they still weren't on one line. I haven't tried it on different screen sizes or anything; it may be worth doing
{{nowrap|{{flag|ENG}}}}, or{{nowrap|{{sort|{{flag|ITA}}}}or whatever. I'm not too sure how to do it exactly. Anyway, I can support without it. Matthew Edwards (talk • contribs • email) 06:09, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved stuff from Mattythewhite
- Comments
- Paris needs wikilinking.
- "...losing the final"... - "in" needed.
- "Italy has provided..." - this sentence seems a bit repetitive and could do with rewording.
Otherwise, looking good. Mattythewhite (talk) 11:55, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Now comments have been dealt with. Don't feel there's anything left to comment on. Thanks, Mattythewhite (talk) 19:09, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
