Nominator(s): Albacore (talk) 22:53, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because... next, other nom has no outstanding comments and two supports. Albacore (talk) 22:53, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  1. Huge amount of white space between end of tables and images. I think setting it to 80-85% would be better.
  2. Per WP:GTL notes should come after see also.

Both fixed. Albacore (talk) 21:28, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
For some reason 80% jacked up the layout on my screen, which is a standard screen, though 80% works on other lists, so I changed it to 76%. Will look at this nom more. PumpkinSky talk 23:08, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Would prefer (note, prefer) to see "ten" rather than "10" in the lead image. I believe MOSNUM covers that.
  • "The Athletics formed in 1901 as the Philadelphia Athletics. After moving to Kansas City for twelve years, the Athletics relocated to Oakland in 1969. " merge these two, it reads too clunky.
  • Dab - Eric Young.
  • "on base" -> "on-base".
  • Link steal in the lead.
  • What's a " single-game doubles record,"? link if possible.
  • Link walk in the lead. Assume your reader is, like me, MLB-averse.
  • Simmons caption needs a period.
  • Why is the career column so wide?
  • Cramer's caption needs a period.
  • Can you make it clear somewhere as of what date these stats are correct?
  • Refs 7 and 33 have URLs but no access dates?

One's a link to a book, another to a magazine; I've heard at FLC not to have accessdates when you are linking to an online version of the book. All taken care of besides that. Albacore (talk) 02:22, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure I understand why. If they're accessible online they can have an accessdate can't they? The Rambling Man (talk) 16:58, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed per Template:Cite book. Albacore (talk) 23:38, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –
  • RBI should be spelled out in a lead.
  • The double link in the third paragraph is broken.
  • Check the spelling of Tommy Bryne in note e.
  • Also check the spelling of Rickey Henderson's name in the title of ref 4. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 03:18, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
All fixed. Albacore (talk) 12:05, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
