Nominator(s): Snowflake91 (talk) 14:10, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because all the issues from the previous nomination in 2017 were addressed, and the article meets WP:WIAFL criterias. Snowflake91 (talk) 14:10, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Allied45
  • In the second paragraph of the lead, it states the "first official match" is in 1992 and "first competitive match" is in 1996. Is there a difference between official and competitive matches?
    • "Official" is any game that is recognized by FIFA as official, namely a friendly matches, while the competitive matches are World Cup/Euro qualifiers; removed the word "official" for the first game. Snowflake91 (talk) 10:10, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "and is one of the smallest nations ever to qualify for the World Cup." --> ambiguous, is it smallest by population, size etc.?
    • Fixed, now includes "by population", also changed "nations" to "countries". Snowflake91 (talk) 10:10, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Slovenia was eliminated in the group stage of the competition on all three occasions." --> this refers to two seperate competitions, should be "Slovenia was eliminated on all three occasions in the group stage of these competitions."
  • Change "List" section heading to "Players"
  • Add a table caption to the players list. I would suggest something like "Table of Slovenia players, with appearance details and statistics"

Overall, list looks good! Allied45 (talk) 09:39, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Giants2008 (Talk) 22:06, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comments –
  • "the governing body of football in Slovenia. Slovenia...". Try not to have the country name repeat from the end of one sentence to the start of another, as it makes the prose look repetitive.
  • The fourth paragraph is stubby at one sentence. It would look better if it was either merged elsewhere or expanded upon.
  • The Milanic photo caption requires a citation, as the stat of five appearances for Yugoslavia isn't supported anywhere else in the article. There is a note saying he represented Yugoslavia, but it doesn't list how many matches the players in question competed in.
  • The title of ref 3 has all caps that need to be fixed, as well as an apparent typo in "UERO".
  • Ref 7 (SB Nation) is to a blog site which I don't think is a reliable source. Surely there's something stronger than a blog to say Slovenia is one of the smallest World Cup participants. Such statistics were all over the news when Iceland made it last time, so there should be something else available.
  • The publisher of ref 8 should be italicized, since The Irish Times is a print publication. Giants2008 (Talk) 16:38, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Done all, however that first sentence may still be weird. Should there be two separate sentences, or is now fine with a comma? Snowflake91 (talk) 17:16, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – The sentence from the first comment (the one you were worried about) looks all right to me, and my concerns have all been adequately resolved. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:06, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, nice work. --Tone 15:44, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
