This article comes as part of a series on Centre College's presidents that I have been working on for over two years now. After getting a handful of the biography articles to FA, I wanted to go ahead and try to get the list to featured as well - much of the format of this article was inspired by List of presidents of Georgetown University, also an FL. I hope that I have provided an adequate amount of detail on the office's history and the men who have occupied it. Any and all feedback would be much appreciated!

Drive-by comment edit

There's something really weird going on with the "name" column. If I sort on that column, the order I get begins Adams > Beatty > Moreland > Morrill > Blackburn. It seems completely random.....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:47, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisTheDude Really weird indeed. I think the "Rev." prefixes were messing with {{sortname}} so I've taken the latter out and defined the sorting stuff myself. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 18:53, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

More comments edit

"Both Youngs, who were father and son, in addition to McChord, Lewis W. Green, and William C. Roberts, are the five Centre presidents to have died in office" - this reads a little oddly to me. I would change it to "Five Centre presidents have died in office: both Youngs, who were father and son, McChord, Lewis W. Green, and William C. Roberts."
Note a isn't a sentence, so it doesn't need a full stop
That's all I got! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:26, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisTheDude Thanks Chris! Both done as recommended. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 12:20, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

750h edit

Hi PCN02WPS, this is my first FLC contribution, so excuse me if I make a few mistakes.

In the third paragraph, "John C. Young" should be changed to "Young" since he's already been introduced.
With the three pictures next to the take, do we need to link their articles? They've already been linked at least twice within the article.

- @750h+: thanks for taking a look. I removed the links in the captions but I'd prefer to leave Young's full name since there was another Young (his son, in fact) and in the previous sentence they are mentioned together as "both Youngs", leaving "Young" open to ambiguity at that point.

Image review from Z1720 edit

I added a page number for File:Hillcrest House, Centre College, 1927.png
Recommend replacing the Craik House image with Craik House, Centre College, West Main Street, Danville, KY - 51985279388.jpg, as it shows more of the building. Maybe one day we can get an unobstructed view.
File:Centre_College_Kentucky.jpg doesn't have alt text
px not used.

Comments above. Z1720 (talk) 15:57, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720: Added alt text and replaced the Craik House image as recommended - I have considered taking a picture myself but those pesky trees make quite the obstacle. As for the last comment, I was under the impression that fixed px sizes weren't good to use on images, but perhaps I am wrong. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 15:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support Sorry for the confusion about the px: you are correct, px is not recommended (and we should use upright instead). I was just noting for the coordinators that I checked for this and found no concerns. Z1720 (talk) 17:12, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
