Hello fellow editors! I am nominating this article because it is a comprehensive yet narrowly-scoped list of the longest living members of the British royal family. Please feel free to share your suggestions and comments here on any improvements this article may need to become a featured list! Thank you in advance. — West Virginian (talk) 12:56, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments
    • "Member by blood" is linked in paragraph 2 but the term is used earlier - link it there instead
    • "She is also the longest-living member by blood" - as this comes after a string of royal women, it is a bit unclear to whom the "she" actually refers, so this could do with clarification
    • "deprived of their British titles in 1919 under the Titles Deprivation Act 1917" - might be worth adding a few words or a note to explain why this was done
    • "Elizabeth II (born 1926), is presently the sixth longest ever living British royal family member, the longest-living British monarch, and in September 2015, the longest ever reigning British monarch" => "Elizabeth II (born 1926), is presently the sixth longest ever living British royal family member, the longest-living British monarch, and, since September 2015, the longest ever reigning British monarch" - she didn't only hold the distinction of longest reigning monarch in that one month......
    • Most significantly, the chronology table is back-to-front - by definition a chronological list should be in chronological order, not reverse chronological order.......
    • Notes b & f and c & g are identical and could be combined
  • Hope this helps! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:44, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

;Comments from BeatlesLedTV
  • Tables need scope cols and rows per MOS:ACCESS (do rows on their names)
  • Add a dash on the empty space in image col

Looks good. BeatlesLedTV (talk) 15:33, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • ChrisTheDude and BeatlesLedTV, thank you both so much for taking the time to thoughtfully review this FLC! I will address your comments as soon as possible. Thank you both again for your guidance and suggestions! — West Virginian (talk) 08:55, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • BeatlesLedTV, thank you so much for your review and for your suggestions. I have addressed them to the best of my understanding. Would you please take a look to make sure that I did this correctly? Thanks again, and please let me know if this list has any outstanding issues that I can address in the meantime. Thanks again! — West Virginian (talk) 16:58, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was thinking more like this for scope rows. I also think it would help to have a lead image; such as this or that. BeatlesLedTV (talk) 18:22, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Looks much better. One more thing. On the individuals that are still living in the first table, change "living" to "present" as it's more consistent with second table and general way of how to do lifespans. (You wouldn't say (1956–living), you'd say (1956–present). Make sense?) BeatlesLedTV (talk) 00:18, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – Looks much better. Great job on this! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 05:16, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –
  • The Portrait columns probably don't need to be sortable.
  • The Duration years and days columns aren't sorting properly, as the 100+-year durations are sorting before the 80-year durations (in effect, by the first digit). Numerical sorting templates should be able to fix this problem for you.
  • The publisher of reference 10 should be italicized, since Guinness World Records is a print publication.
  • The all caps in the title of ref 29 should be removed. Giants2008 (Talk) 23:16, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Giants2008, thank you tremendously for taking the time to perform this review! I appreciate your guidance and expertise. I have addressed each of your comments in the list. Please let me know if you have any further suggestions in the meantime! -- West Virginian (talk) 01:39, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
