List of 2006 Major League Baseball all-stars
This seems o meet all FL criteria. « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie  21:09, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Comment I think there needs to be some sort of divide between the National and American league tables. You could turn it into two seperate tables, or add some sort of thick line/narrow blank column between columns 2 and 3. Drewcifer (talk) 21:27, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, what about including their positions? Players are added to the roster based on position, correct? Drewcifer (talk) 00:12, 22 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I do have most of the positions in the lead. « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie  00:14, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well I actually haven't read the lead yet. Busted! =)  But technically speaking the lead should summarize the rest of the article/list, but not introduce anything new.  So that info should be in the table in some way, right? Drewcifer (talk) 00:44, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay. Done. « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie  02:21, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * How are the rows organized? For instance, why is Alfonso Soriano on the same row as B.J. Ryan?  The fact that everything is in one table necessitates a bit more structure.  Table-wise, I'm honestly more akin to the style of 2006 Major League Baseball All-Star Game.  Which leads me to a related question: why do we need this list anyways?  It's already done in the other article, and in my opinion better. Drewcifer (talk) 02:32, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Oppose Due to my comments above and (so far) a lack of resolution to them. To recap, I have three over-arching issues:
 * This list is made redundant by 2006 Major League Baseball All-Star Game. This list contributes nothing the article does not, and is in fact inferior (IMHO) to the list contained in the larger article which is formatted more carefully and logically, aesthetically more pleasing and readable, and contains more information.  The only thing this list does that the article does not is add a bunch of pictures on the side, which isn't particularly compelling to me.
 * The formatting and structure of the tables is arbitrary and seemingly haphazard. This is mainly due to the fact the both leagues occupy the same horizontal space in the same table.
 * Lastly (and this is a new one), the sorting does not work at all. I believe this is due to the common row at the bottom with the source, but I'm not too sure about that. Drewcifer (talk)


 * Comment Can the table in Key be fixed so the color fills the entire cell? Gary King ( talk ) 23:55, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Ya - done. « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie  00:07, 22 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment The main article for this list still has a table. Why can't the one here be moved there? Then, that article would be a lot more useful. -- Scorpion0422 06:04, 22 June 2008 (UTC)


 *  Comment Oppose If we're listing the all-stars separately, then what should we have at 2006 Major League Baseball All-Star Game?--Crzycheetah 07:47, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * As I've already said, I don't think this page is necessary. 2006 Major League Baseball All-Star Game should have these tables.--Crzycheetah 17:38, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: The source at the bottom of the table should be in a "references" section, like Wikipedia instead of the seemingly misplaced [5] as it is now. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden  18:39, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Remove the overlinking of Teams from Team columns, link the teams the first time they appear in the table. --<font face="Comic Sans MS"> Gman 124 talk 00:02, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
