List of Bristol Rovers F.C. managers edit

I've been working to get this article up to featured list status, and I'd appreciate any feedback on what work needs to be done to acheive this.

Many thanks. — Gasheadsteve ^{Talk to me} 18:56, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Use en-dash for year ranges.

Expand the lead to give a brief overview of BRFC managers throughout the year.
- Lead has now been expanded to give more detailed information. — Gasheadsteve ^{Talk to me} 07:40, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
While it's not essential, if this is to become FL then it should be bringing a number of related articles together in one place. This article links to 10 missing articles, including Bert Tann who was the longest serving. I'd recommend filling out the other articles.
Beware of early Soccerbase references, their stats only work for games in their database...
- I'm aware of that thanks, I've only used Soccerbase stats since 2001 in this article because of their unreliability for older games. — Gasheadsteve ^{Talk to me} 20:18, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hope they help. The Rambling Man 19:34, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for that. I'll work on expanding the lead tomorrow. — Gasheadsteve ^{Talk to me} 20:18, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just a few points......

The first sentence doesn't seem to be gramatically correct, maybe try "This is a list of Bristol Rovers F.C. managers since the club appointed its first full-time manager in 1899, along with...."

In both that sentence and the last sentence of the lead, the club should be treated as a singular noun ie "the club has...." rather than "the club have...."

Was Prince-Cox a captain as in an army captain? If so, maybe link the word "Captain" to an appropriate article, or alternatively include it within the wikilink of his name, as currently it looks (to me at any rate) like it's saying that he was the team's captain but with incorrect capitalisation of the word "captain"....
- I've removed the word 'captain' from the article. He is usually referred to as Captain Prince-Cox, but I've never seen any explaination to whether this is Army, Navy, or even a self-bestowed title, which wouldn't surprise me as he seems to have been quite a colourful character! — Gasheadsteve ^{Talk to me} 08:04, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I concur that the redlinks need to be filled, even if only with stubs
- I'm working on this at the moment. — Gasheadsteve ^{Talk to me} 08:04, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
"More success followed in the 1952-53 season when Bristol Rovers longest serving post-war manager" - missing apostrophe on Rovers'
- Fixed — Gasheadsteve ^{Talk to me} 08:04, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'd also suggest reducing the size of the image, as at the current size the quality is terrible

Hope this helps, anyway......... ChrisTheDude 07:37, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
