This has been made in the mold of List of Norwich City F.C. Players of the Year, which has recently passed FLC and feel it meets the FLC criteria. Thanks, Mattythewhite 22:20, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from The Rambling Man (talk · contribs)

Yeah, nearly there.

  • Worth noting that Fenton died suddenly.
  • Ref 15 can be reused instead of 17.
    •  Done Merged references using ref name. Mattythewhite 11:21, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Otherwise I can't see much room for improvement. The Rambling Man 11:16, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • The Voting mechanism has to go in the lead, as it is much too short to justify a section of its own. Also, the wording of the lead reads a bit awkwardly in places. I've taken the liberty of having a go at copyediting it in my Sandbox, if you'd like to have a look. (Please don't feel obliged to use any of my changes, moving the voting mechanism bit up into the lead, however you do it, is the important thing.)
  • You could perhaps include where the presentation is made (at an awards dinner, before a match, ...).
  • I have looked for a source which says where it is presented, but cannot found one. However, I have added some more information on the presentation of the award. Mattythewhite 16:12, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • The summary tables would look tidier if you centred the numbers so they weren't cramped up to the left of quite a wide column.
  • In the Summary by position table, the note against Forward says "Includes strikers and wingers." The only player listed as a winger, Brian Pollard, has his playing position wikilinked to Midfielder, but he's totalled in with the forwards. You need to decide which you want him to be.
  •  Done I've changed Pollard to midfielder and counted him as that in the summary table. Also, in this table, I've renamed the "Forward" column to "Striker" so it keeps consistent and is clear. Mattythewhite 16:18, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments
    • Same comment as for Ipswich re: linking positions
      • Same response for Ipswich - the table is sortable so wikilinking every row makes perfect sense. The Rambling Man 07:43, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Same comment re: "notes". Not sure what the point of notes # 12 and 13 is.
      • Same response for Ipswich - notes are to substantiate claims of international caps and belong next to each instance of each player because the table is sortable. The Rambling Man 07:43, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
