Nominator(s): Harrias talk 12:43, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel that it meets the FL criteria. It is loosely modelled off current FLs such as List of Israeli football champions. Harrias talk 12:43, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Very nice, just few things,
  • I see you refed the book Altham & Swanton (1938), but I don't see the book listed in any of the refs (ISBN and such). Only book I see refed is the #12 ref which is diff one.

  • Second, Maybe caption (the +) the tables for better understand.
I don't know what you mean, could you explain in more detail? Harrias talk 15:05, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
When you put |+Some info here about the table bellow under {| class="wikitable sortable plainrowheaders"

  • I still don't know what you mean. Harrias talk 18:08, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Third, the image does not have alt in it, should fix it.

The alt should realy say what we see the picture, for exemple, A black-and-white photograph of a man doing something something, holding a XYZ bat and looking at the camera.
The lead it self I find good, and I will support it once those minor from above will be fixed. Also, I seen you added a Bibliography maybe put the Notes by the Editor in that place aswell? and make it the same format as the General and Specific.

  • Wikipedia:Alternative text for images says: Alternative text should be short, such as "A basketball player" or "Tony Blair shakes hands with George W. Bush". and that it is relevant to the article. I don't think it is really relevant that the photo is in black and white, or what he is doing.
  • As regards the bibliography, given that it only contains one book, I don't see a need to split it into three columns, and I don't think it is necessary to include the book from reference 12 given that I only reference it once: the bibliography only contains sources that I have used multiple times and refer to in short-hand notation. Harrias talk 18:08, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support, With those said.

  • "Since then no county has managed to achieve the same level of ascendancy" I think dominance would be better than ascendancy.
  • I've already used dominance, or dominant twice in the paragraph, a third time would be too much repitition I think. Harrias talk 17:21, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Yorkshire hold the record for most championships, with 30 titles" I think titles is redundant as you've already indicated what the 30 is for.
  • The tables need a caption, HonorThe King alluded to this above, but I don't think he made it very clear. I'm not sure if you know how to add a caotion or not so I'll give you an example to be sure. So for the first table it would read:
  • Support meets the criteria. NapHit (talk) 21:18, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Support – "After a meeting of the principle club's secretaries in 1889" "club's" → "clubs'". Other than that this list looks great. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 23:17, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • When sorting by county in reverse, you need to force the single-digit wins (e.g. (2), (3) etc) to sort properly.
  • Rather than a blank for runners up in shared wins, I suggest a N/A is appropriate.
  • Any mileage in quickly discussing the scoring methodology for the championship (i.e. batting, bowling points etc)?
  • I don't think so, only because the scoring has changed so many times over the years: to explain how it is scored now would put, I think, unjustified bias on that system, but to explain them all could take an article in itself! Harrias talk 14:53, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would put the shared years in italics (and add a key) and remove the bold shared:.
  • Hmmm: I'm not convinced myself! As a compromise, how about listing them in the main list, but putting (shared) after the year:

{| class="wikitable sortable plainrowheaders" |- !scope="col"| Club !scope="col"| Titles !scope="col"| Championship-winning seasons |- !scope="row"| [[Yorkshire County Cricket Club|Yorkshire]] |align=center| {{sort|305|{{nobr|30 + 1 shared}}}} | 1893, 1896, 1898, 1900, 1901, 1902, 1905, 1908, 1912, 1919, 1922, 1923, 1924, 1925, 1931, 1932, 1933, 1935, 1937, 1938, 1939, 1946, ''1949 (shared)'', 1959, 1960, 1962, 1963, 1966, 1967, 1968, 2001 |} Harrias talk 14:53, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
