List of 250cc Motorcycle World Champions

 * Nominator(s): NapHit (talk) 20:27, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe that list meets all the criteria necessary, after some hard work NapHit (talk) 20:27, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Comments


 * This is a List of 250cc Motorcycle World Champions, yet the lead talks more about MotoGP. Why?
 * I'd like to know what 250cc means.
 * The "Poles" column doesn't sort properly.
 * Fixed NapHit (talk) 16:37, 9 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Is there a rider that actually won three championships in one year?
 * Nope NapHit (talk) 16:37, 9 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Why are the next three sections needed? If I sort the main table by rider, I'll know how many times he won. Same thing with "by constructor" and "by nationality".
 * It is easier to navigate in my opinion, as the information is in front of you, instead of having to count up stuff yourself. NapHit (talk) 14:57, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd put the bibliography in front of the citations. When I clicked on the first ref, it brought me to "Marshall. p. 289" and it took me a while to scroll down to find out who the Marshall is.
 * The retrieval date of the current ref # 27 is... 2001.
 * Is there any categories that could be added, as well?
 * No not that I can see

 * Is it possible to sort the Spanish flag as "S" instead of "E"?
 * I think it is but I think it should stay the way it is. NapHit (talk) 14:57, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * What's the reason? Why should Spain be listed under 'E"?
 * Well for one thing that is what the template lists it as, and I'm not sure how to alter it, and it is referred to as Espana regularly so I see no problem with it. NapHit (talk) 18:35, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Done all your requests. NapHit (talk) 14:57, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Support It's definitely a good list.--Crzycheetah 03:38, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

 * All done NapHit (talk) 18:31, 12 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Support – My comments have been addressed, and the list was very clean to begin with.  Giants2008  ( 17–14 ) 21:13, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. I'd still prefer if the constructor's flags were removed, but can understand why you put them there. Dabomb87 (talk) 04:45, 15 August 2009 (UTC) Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:56, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Comments The point system mentioned at the prose is the current point system. I believe that in the older years the point system were different. According to Alex Barros article, there were 3 different point systems. However I haven't had time to confirm this and find a reference, but I think it should be noted that the point systems weren't always the same. — Martin tamb (talk) 06:23, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
