EFL Championship Manager of the Month

 * Nominator(s): Officially Mr X (talk) 22:24, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because a lot of work has gone into keeping this list up-to-date, and complimenting the main list with interesting prose and relevant images. Several editors have contributed significantly to this list, and it exemplifies lists of its type.

 * Comments'
 * Those two one-sentence paragraphs in the lead definitely need to be merged into the existing paragraphs somewhere rather than floating in glorious isolation
 * "For sponsorship reasons, since its inception it has been known as the Coca-Cola Manager of the Month award, with the company sponsoring the league from 2004–2010.[2] From the 2010–11 season, the league was sponsored by npower and the award has been known as the npower Manager of the Month.[3]" - loads wrong with this bit.  The first sentence implies that it is still sponsored by Coca-Cola, which it isn't.  The second sentence implies that it is still sponsored by nPower, which it isn't.  You need to rework this whole bit into a grammatically correct and up-to-date record of what the award was called and when.
 * Any chance you could make the photo captions a bit more varied? At present they essentially all just say "X has won the award N times" over and over again
 * "The below table lists all the people that have won on more than one occasion" - maybe "all the managers" rather than "all the people".....?
 * First and third references under "general" are dead
 * Ref formatting is very inconsistent. Ref 3 has "The Football League" in italics but most others do not.  Same with Sky Sports.  Some refs have the source as "The Football League" and others just have "Football League", while the ones towards the end suddenly go more specific and have "EPL Championship" (which is wrong anyway - it's not the EPL Championship).  Some of the Sky refs have "Sky Sports" but others have "skysports.com".  Multiple different date formats are used, in some cases within the same reference!  Basically the refs section is a bit of a mess.............

Oppose for now, concerned about sourcing.
 * Formatting of references needs to be consistent. Is it DD-MM-YY or YY-MM-DD? Some sources use 'Football League' others are 'www.football-league.co.uk'. BBC Sport uses the work parameter on some FNs, and in others the publisher.
 * A few dead links
 * guardian.co.uk → theguardian.com
 * Why is there no mention of Football League First Division Manager of the Month, the precursor?
 * Tables could do row and colscopes for accessibility, per MOS:DTT. Lemonade51 (talk) 16:50, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

You haven't responded to any of the reviews from the past few weeks; if you aren't able to respond soon I'm going to have to close this nomination. -- Pres N  04:09, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
