East Carolina Pirates football seasons
I believe this list is useful, comprehensive, factually accurate, stable, uncontroversial and well-constructed. It is the first list that covers this much information. I believe it also complys with WP:MOS and has a photo.  P G Pirate  01:17, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Support. Support as nom.  P G Pirate  14:51, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Support. This list compares well with the list of Iowa Hawkeyes football seasons that has already reached featured status. I'd strongly suggest inserting in-line citations in your lede paragraphs (I personally think they should have been used with the Iowa list as well), but other than that, I really like the color coding and the streamlined nature of the list. Excellent work. JKBrooks85 (talk) 02:09, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Note This user was asked to support this nom. -- Scorpion0422 18:51, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Indeed I was. I wouldn't have given it if I didn't think it was deserved, however. The article is pretty much the same as the Iowa Hawkeyes football seasons article, and if that article can make it, there's no reason that this one can't as well. JKBrooks85 (talk) 05:05, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Your vote should be discounted. Blatantly asking people to support a nom is a huge no no in my books because what's the point of the process if you can just get project members to support it? -- Scorpion0422 04:02, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe my actions in improving the article speak for themselves. Regardless of what was asked for, I followed correct procedure in examining the article, making suggested changes, and giving support. JKBrooks85 (talk) 22:24, 29 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Support - a lot better than when I found it. Good work to both JKBrooks and PGPirate... The Rambling Man (talk) 07:54, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * User:B's list:
 * The coloring is confusing. I don't think you need a separate color for NSC championship vs SC championship since each row tells what conference they were in. (In other words, pick one color for a conference championship.)
 * Also, for the last two seasons where it says they finished 2nd in CUSA, is that second overall or second in the division? I'm assuming that CUSA does the same thing the ACC does where there are only divisional standings now and there are no conference standings any more.  So the table should indicate in some fashion that these are divisional standings, not conference standings.  Suggestion: change the conference label to "CUSA Eastern" (or whatever the name of the division is) - that way it is obvious what you are talking about. - B and I are trying to come to a consensus to this question.

 * Fixed My last thought is that there is a little inconsistency with how "things that don't exist" are indicated. Ties were done away with in the 1990s and so that entire area is empty (no cell borders).  The coaches' poll didn't exist before 1950 and so that entire area is empty (no cell borders).  But then, during WWII when ECU didn't play football, that area has cell borders.  It's at least worth considering making it rowspan=4 colspan=7 and having a message ECU did not play football due to WWII or something.  That way, it's more consistent with other things that didn't exist.
 * Regarding this sentence - "In 1965, the school's administration decided to join the Southern Conference", is this the best way to phrase it? Did they walk in to conference headquarters one day and say, "we're joining"?  Were they invited and they accepted the invitation?  Did the administration (as opposed to the athletics department) make the decision?  Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it sounds like this sentence is embellishing on history when the only thing we know from the sources given is that the school joined the conference.
 * Agreed, rewrote sentence, and found cite.  P G Pirate  01:52, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
