List of Seattle Mariners seasons

Featured list candidates/List of Seattle Mariners seasons/archive1

Nominator(s): Sounder Bruce 07:30, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The third in a series of Seattle sports team season lists, freshly expanded and cleaned up in the hours since my last list passed its review. The Mariners are the only MLB team to not make the World Series and only recently ended a record playoff drought; they are the ultimate underdogs and the subject of a multi-hour YouTube documentary that resonated with a lot of people. This list's format is inspired by existing (but very old) baseball season FLs, with some modern tweaks borrowed from other sports FLs (particularly the NFL's).

Comments

Image captions both need a full stop
- Fixed.
"the 21-year playoff drought was the longest in the North American major sports leagues" - is it still?
- No longer, added some clarifications.
"After the Washington Nationals won a National League title in 2019" => "After the Washington Nationals won the National League title in 2019" (existing wording could be taken to mean that multiple NL titles were on offer in 2019)
- Fixed.
" A players strike was called" => " A players' strike was called" -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:46, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Fixed. @ChrisTheDude: Thanks for the review! Sounder Bruce 07:06, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the "Key to colors", I suggest removing World Series champions and American League champions since they are not used at all in the article. If they are required in the future then they can be added back. Same with WS MVP – World Series Most Valuable Player Award in "Key to awards".

That's all. -- EN-Jungwon 11:02, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@EN-Jungwon: Author links have been added and citations archived. The key is meant to be consistent across all MLB lists, so I don't think their removal is necessary; other sports FLs have similar unused key items. Sounder Bruce 19:47, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Image review

Both images are properly licensed and have alt text, so the image review passes. Nice work on the article. Support. -- ZooBlazer 22:52, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Source review – After the fixes from earlier in the FLC, source reliability and formatting both look okay to me. Reference 29, which is to a Sports Illustrated article after the sale that turned a magazine I love into a dumpster fire, is one that I might question under normal circumstances, but Tom Verducci easily qualifies as a subject matter expert, so I'm not worried about that cite. Something to keep in mind for future uses of SI, though, as I'd be surprised if RSN doesn't declare post-sale SI articles unreliable at some point.
