I am nominating this for featured list because... I feel it meets all the criteria and matches other MLB Opening Day starting pitchers lists. Astros4477 (Talk) 19:49, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

  • In the first sentence, the "team" right after "franchise" should be dropped.
  • The en dash in the first sentence of the third paragraph shouldn't be unspaced according to the MoS. It should be spaced or made into a larger em dash.
  • In ref 2, the publisher shouldn't be italicized since MLB isn't a print publication of any kind, but an organization. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:16, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –
  • I see "Stadium in italics with ‡ for home game" in the key, but don't see this applied to the table, since the Spiders didn't play a home game. I suggest maybe changing the wording here, since it seems confusing and unnecessary to mention home games when there weren't any.
  • "Sports Reference, LLC" in refs 1 and 4 – remove comma in between.
  • Could I trouble you to help review my current FLC, please?

  • Support – meets FL criteria. Great work! —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:51, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • I'd switch " that played from 1887 to 1899 and were based in Cleveland, Ohio." to "that were based in Cleveland and played from ..."
  • "from 1887 to 1888" does this actually mean "in the 1887 and 1888 seasons"?
  • "Opening Day" is over linked in the lead.
  • "a score of". This seems entirely redundant to me.
  • "from 1891-1899" see WP:DASH and WP:YEAR.
  • While the key may be generic to these lists, it features a number of items that will never be used here so I suggest you ditch them.
  • Should add a note about the perceived confusion over the location of the Opening Day of the 1888 season...
