I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it meets the criteria despite limited information even in a club book. Aaroncrick (talk) Review me! 22:27, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • You use VFL without explaining it.
  • "The club Best and Fairest award ..." isn't it "The club's..."?
  • You talk about the Best and Fairest a bit, but then launch into "Dick Reynolds won the Brownlow Medal..." what's that awarded for? And I'm guessing it's not an Essendon award, so for non-experts you should offer us some context...
  • Don't relink best and fairest, and be consistent with the capitalisation.
  • "a club record " hyphenate club-record.
  • Instead of just "Premiership" for the key, perhaps you could say "Essendon won the AFL Grand Final" or similar, to make it clear to non-experts what you mean.

Comments –

  • The VFL/AFL link redirects to AFL, so that doesn't have much use. Also, I remember seeing somewhere that slashes are discouraged in text. Maybe try a dash?
  • Hyphen for "record equaling".
  • Remove comma after Kevin Sheedy.
  • "Despite no player kicking 1000 career goals, full-forward Matthew Lloyd, is the clubs leading goal-kicker with 925, ahead of ruckman Simon Madden with 575." Couple of issues here. Lloyd didn't score 925 despite no one having 1,000, so I don't get that sentence. Also, change "clubs" to "club's".
  • Change semi-colon in last sentence of lead to a regular comma.
  • Any reason the names are sorting by first name rather than last? Is this a custom for Australia-related lists that I'm only discovering now?
  • Check 1937 Crichton Medal winner for a broken wikilink.
  • Crichton Medal is given as W. S. Crichton Medal in the lead and W.S. Crichton Medal (without spaces) in the table. I'd imagine it should be the former throughout, since that complies better with our naming guidelines and avoids a minor redirect. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 19:15, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
