List of roller coaster rankings[edit]

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because… I wanna make sure everything is right in the article, this is only my second nomination.

Not sure "rankings" is an appropriate title, because it implies that there may be dynamic changes in position. A suggestion: "List of Roller Coaster Superlatives and Rankings". Note the capitalization, as well.Klantry01 (talk) 19:46, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well there is. There are changes in each table almost every year. I think "rankings" is fine.--Astros4477 (talk) 22:02, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is that all for your comments?--Astros4477 (talk) 15:24, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments: Overall pretty good, the list should be ready for featured list candidacy soon. Some specific comments:

  • "This list of roller coaster rankings" WP:MOS is against this due to it being "boring", so I'd rewrite it or something

  • WP:DASH concerns with "Magnum XL-200", hypten should be en-dash, please check

  • Same goes for some references, like ref. 15
 Done Themeparkgc  Talk  23:16, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "many" to "numerous" for a more engaging prose
 Done Themeparkgc  Talk  23:16, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Add table captions to the tables, including the key, per WP:DTT
 Done--Astros4477 (talk) 02:26, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Table doesn't meet WP:ACCESS, add scope cols and rows to ensure it does
All the tables do have scope cols and rows.--Astros4477 (talk) 02:11, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Remove the "." dots after numbers in tables, as it is unnecessary
 Done Themeparkgc  Talk  23:16, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unlink all countries per WP:OVERLINK, as done in the tables
 Done Themeparkgc  Talk  23:50, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "USA" to "United States" for better prose
 Done Themeparkgc  Talk  23:16, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Record Held" held should not be in capitals per MOS:CAPS
 Done Themeparkgc  Talk  23:16, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Would suggest creating a "Ref." section in table, and adding the references that are just after the tables in there, some do already have that, but others don't, so add to all, and please check
 Done Themeparkgc  Talk  23:50, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just a suggestion, but aligning references in the tables that do have them right now to the center would probably be a good idea
 Done Themeparkgc  Talk  23:19, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Some have no references in "Ref." header parameter, ones that do right now have it

  • "Poll rankings" tables certainly don't meet WP:ACCESS, "Top 10 Steel Roller Coasters of 2012" and such should be as a table caption per WP:DTT
 Done--Astros4477 (talk) 02:26, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Add related portals to the see also section with {{portal box}}, see WP:PORTAL, or add to the end of article using {{portal bar}} after the templates
 Done Themeparkgc  Talk  23:16, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Any external links?
 Done--Astros4477 (talk) 02:36, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • In there, I would add a {{Commons}} template
