I am nominating this former featured list, as I believe that all the issues pointed out at the FLCR are solved. Tomcat (7) 11:41, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. Meticulous referencing, good formatting. Also, SCIENCE! — Cirt (talk) 03:50, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –
  • Scope rows needed for table.
  • They are not needed because blind users will easily locate the row.
  • Under Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility, scope parameters are required for tables. Per WP:DTT, scope rows "clearly identifies headers as row headers" and enable headers to be "associated to corresponding cells." Presumably, it helps screen readers detect the row. —Bloom6132 (talk) 21:14, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Add table caption
  • Also not needed as the header already does the same, and the screen reader is presumably able to detect it.
  • The pictures on the right-hand side appear a bit too big. It would be preferable to use the thumb
  • Support – meets all 6 criteria. Great work! —Bloom6132 (talk) 14:04, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • First "the" in "by the December 15 of the nominating year..." should be removed.
  • Nik Szymanek photo needs alt text. Giants2008 (Talk) 23:35, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • For the Szymanek alt text, could the "bracelt" typo be fixed as well, please? Giants2008 (Talk) 17:12, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - as the contents of the "field" column are left-aligned, could the title be too? That's the only thing I can see right now........ -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:42, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think the headers are always centered and I am not sure how to change the alignment.--Tomcat (7) 12:42, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • In my opinion it looks really silly. Is there really nothing that can be done to change the alignment of the header? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:53, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
