Laureus Spirit of Sport Award

 * Nominator(s): The Rambling Man (talk) 13:52, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Penultimate nomination in the Laureus World Sports Awards family, probably the shortest, but still just about sustains a list format. As always, I'll endeavour to address each and every concern raised as soon as practicably possible, thanks in advance for your time and energy. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:52, 5 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Support. --Tone 18:11, 6 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Support – Link BBC Sport in ref 7. Other than that nothing. Great job! Can't wait for the rest! BeatlesLedTV (talk) 16:58, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Done, thanks, just one to go! The Rambling Man (talk) 18:04, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

Support – Neat work as always! Just the solitary one left! MWright96 (talk) 07:54, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Support Comments from JennyOz

Hi TRM, just a few...

Infobox Prose
 * first awarded 2000 - 2005
 * Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:16, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * "...Boston Red Sox who won their first World Series in 86 years" - slightly ambiguous, I had to search to find if they had won it 86 yrs ago or had been in comp 86 years and this was their first win. Only fix I can think of is 'first World Series since 1918'
 * I'll replace "in" with "for", hopefully that'll do it? Most RS seem to favour that kind of approach.  The Rambling Man (talk) 20:16, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Perfect! JennyOz (talk) 03:32, 8 January 2018 (UTC)


 * "Since its establishment, the award has not been awarded four times, in 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2013." - Maybe 'The award was not given in the years 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2013.' And maybe move to end of first paragraph ie where you already speak of its discretionary status?
 * Have reprhased, not exactly per your recommendation, but let me know. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:16, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Rephrase fine, might look better at end that para? JennyOz (talk) 03:32, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Aha, I misread, done, how does it look? The Rambling Man (talk) 07:51, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Table
 * "...comprise five individuals and four teams..." - four individuals and five teams
 * Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:16, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * "...was the English Premier League football team Leicester City F.C." - could insert 'winning' between League and football.
 * Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:16, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Strange to see the Sports not wlinked in this one - intentional?
 * No, all linked now. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:43, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * 2007 FC Barcelona Notes - insert 'children's' before AIDS?
 * Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:43, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * 2008 Dick Pound - Ref says Chairman but his and WADA articles say President
 * Replaced, but refs are lacking, added another ref. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:43, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * David E Newton book this online is better ref? Bio starts p198, 199 says president and 200 mentions Laureus. (Weird that lots of places on web double up the "A Reference Handbook" in the book's name but inside front cover at this link shows it definitely only appears once in title.) JennyOz (talk) 03:32, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok, used that reference, thanks for digging it out! The Rambling Man (talk) 07:51, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Refs
 * 2014 Afghanistan cricket - ref doesn't mention Kenya, more swift rise, almost insurmountable odds (ie spirit)
 * Used the Cricino quote. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:44, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Ref 11 chinadaily - needs separator before date
 * Don't get this one, sorry. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:47, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * No problem. fixed pipe in between your edits. JennyOz (talk) 03:32, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Template - fine
 * Ref 15 - title Winners 2013 - 2012
 * Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:47, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Ref 16 Winners 2013 - giving me 404 - swap to newer version? (Or do we just rely on archived copy in this situation?)
 * Normally that's the point of the archive.... The Rambling Man (talk) 20:47, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

NB The table for Discretionary awards on Laureus World Sports Awards has Raí winning in Spirit for 2012 but should be Sport for Good. Magic Bus in 2014 is swapped with Afghan cricket team.
 * Fixed, thanks for that. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:50, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

That's it I reckon. Can't wait to 'break through' last one! JennyOz (talk) 18:01, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * , I've done my best to get to all your concerns, there are just a couple of issues that need clarification for me. Many thanks.  The Rambling Man (talk) 20:50, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I've added 4 follow-up comments above. Regards, JennyOz (talk) 03:32, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

I think I'm done, if you don't mind having a quick check? Thanks again. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:51, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
 * , Everything looks fine. (I figure you decided to keep the duplication in the title of the Newton book.) Happy to sign support to this list. JennyOz (talk) 12:38, 8 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Support – And that is last one ! Well done and bring on the FTC nom. Cheers – Ianblair23 (talk) 00:51, 11 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Infobox: "Location	Monaco (2017)" Citation?
 * Added. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:17, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * "despite being 5,000-1 outsiders" A) Not sure a hyphen is right there, and B) "Outsiders?"  I may be letting my American ears work here, but that word sounds wrong given they were one of the 20 teams in the Premier League that year. Courcelles (talk) 17:39, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Replaced with "to". And no, they were very much considered "outsiders" in the "outside bet" sense.  Try Googling it. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:17, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * thanks for your comments, responses inline above. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:17, 11 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Source review passed, kicking out this last one. -- Pres N  17:43, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
