List of University of the Philippines Los Baños people edit

Nominator(s): Moray An Par (talk) 15:14, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because it sufficiently lists notable UPLB people. Moray An Par (talk) 15:14, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Quick comments on a first glance.

My browser makes the images appear first and then the tables creating masses of white space. I'm using Safari for Mac.
"director" is a disambiguation link.
Lead is a little short, could use bulking up a bit in my opinion.
As of 2009 in the lead. It's now heading to mid-2011. Can we update that?
Put (UPLB) after the first use of the full title in the lead.
Is this list complete? I doubt it so perhaps consider using the {{incomplete list}} template.
"Sergio Osmeña III" has a discipline of a very wide horizontal line. This should just be an en/em-dash and should be noted as to why.
"Agribusiness management" or "Agribusiness Management"? Probably the former. What does that mean?
Avoid superscripts, so 20^th should just be 20th.
Don't think you need to link "singer".
Or Theater actor.
Or spider.
or president...
When did LLD become a "relationship"?
Something odd going on with the image of Sirindhorn. Some red link text, comments to the left of the main image... not sure what that's all about, but it needs solving.
"has had 7 chancellors." seven. Are they notable? If not, why are they in the list? If so, why aren't they linked to articles (or red-linked)?
Names should sort using the {{sortname}} template so they use surname rather than first name.
Use en-dash in year ranges, e.g. refs 36 & 37 need to be 1895–1986 not 1895-1986 or 1895 -1986.
That applies to chapter ranges too (e.g. refs 41, 42).
Ref 45 has a bare URL.
About.com is not reliable. I'm not sure about a number of the sources you use, but I don't have time now to go into detail. Perhaps if you fix up the above, I'll see what I can do on a ref check.

I have addressed the above concerns. I'll find a replacement for the About.com reference. I personally believe that UPLB chancellors fail the WP:Professor test, and are not independently notable. I'll integrate Emil Q. Javier into the faculty list. I'll also find an update summa cum laude list. As for the lead, I based it here List of Wilfrid Laurier University people. What other information would you like mentioned? I'll do these when I get the time later.

I think the list is sufficiently comprehensive, at least, according to Wikipedia articles. I came up with that list by searching all BLPs mentioning UPLB. I just then searched outside references to confirm it. But that doesn't mean that that's all the notable people from UPLB. I'll search alumni forums for list of other alumni. Maybe I'll find a number who are notable, and have Wikipedia articles. Moray An Par (talk) 05:34, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I have included additional personalities in the list but I also realize that these must not be all. So I added {{dynamic list}} at the top. What other concerns are there that I still have not addressed? Moray An Par (talk) 08:03, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

It's great that abbreviated versions of the college names are given right after they're first used, but they probably don't need to be included in the wikilinks. A little less blue text isn't a bad thing sometimes, and they can still be placed right after the colleges they represent.
~~Minor point, but reference 4 should go after the comma.~~
Above a couple of the tables there are hatnotes with definitions. In both the hyphen should be an en dash. Minor style issue, but FLs should get all the style issues right.
- The dash that was put in is the wrong one. If you use the list of symbols at the bottom of the editing page, the en dash is to the left of the one you're using. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 16:24, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Reference 11 should have the publisher (Philippine Daily Inquirer) in italics because it is a printed publication. Any time there is an article from a newspaper or magazine, the publisher should be italicized. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 18:31, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Moray An Par (talk) 03:33, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Moray An Par (talk) 01:23, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Number of summa cum laudes updated to 2011 per The Rambling Man's request. Moray An Par (talk) 16:51, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The tables need table headers and scope tags to comply with WP:ACCESS. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (accessibility)/Data tables tutorial for instructions.

Ref 42 has an added period to Inc. Albacore (talk) 22:43, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done removing the dot (.) after Inc and putting scope tags. As for the table headers, are they really needed? I am yet to see a featured list on university-affiliated people that uses such. Moray An Par (talk) 04:37, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They are needed to comply with WP:ACCESS. However, once they are added, the subheaders can be removed. The "name" column throughout the article needs scope row tags. Albacore (talk) 12:07, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Forgive me for being dense but did you mean:

! scope="row" | {{sortname|Nilo|Alcala}}
| Undergraduate || Development communication || [[Musical composer]] || <ref name='Nilo Alcala'>{{cite web | url = http://nilo_alcala2.webs.com/profile.htm | title = Nilo Belarmino Alcala II | publisher = Official website of Nilo Alcala | accessdate = 2011-04-21 }}</ref>

Moray An Par (talk) 13:01, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Albacore (talk) 21:40, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I feel it weird though. Even List of alumni of Jesus College, Oxford doesn't use it. Is this a new guideline? Why wasn't this required for other FLCs? Moray An Par (talk) 02:25, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
