List of Benet Academy alumni

 * Nominator(s): Edge3 (talk) 16:40, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Hey all. This is my first FLC attempt (and the first list I've worked on), so I'd really appreciate some feedback! FYI a huge chunk of the lead is just a summary of the main Benet Academy article. Thanks, Edge3 (talk) 16:40, 1 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Support —Mrwojo (talk) 23:50, 4 April 2011 (UTC); I do have some comments though:
 * It wasn't clear to me that "the school enrolled only men of Bohemian or Slovak ancestry" referred to the Czech college.
 * I'm not an expert on this, but aren't those three ethnicities related in some way?
 * Non-graduates should have an "N/A" or em dash to indicate that the Graduated column is intentionally without a date.
 * Em dashes added
 * A sortable table would be convenient.
 * Porter Moser has a period at the end of his description unlike all others. Because they aren't complete sentences perhaps the few descriptions that use periods should use commas or semicolons instead? (Just a thought.)
 * Period removed from Moser entry; semicolons added between phrases within entries
 * Thank you so much for your support! I've addressed most of your concerns listed above; I'll work on the sortable table shortly. Edge3 (talk) 02:45, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Sortable table enabled. Edge3 (talk) 03:04, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Why is this list titled "people" and not "alumni"? Nergaal (talk) 04:42, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah I really don't have an explanation for that. I moved the page. Edge3 (talk) 13:34, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I fixed up all the redirects etc. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:20, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Comments –
 * What makes BoxingScene.com (ref 22) a reliable source?
 * I can see why you would be suspicious of that source. I've replaced it with a (hopefully) better source.
 * Ref 10 gives the page number as pp., when it should just be p. (single-page cite).  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 00:24, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I switched the parameter.

Thanks for your comments! Edge3 (talk) 14:45, 10 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your comments. I have added a brief explanation of the em dashes and separated the ref section into two columns, as you suggested. As far as I know, no current or former faculty member meets our notability guidelines, so I don't think a "notable faculty" section is warranted. Please feel free to raise any other questions or concerns. Edge3 (talk) 01:09, 21 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I addressed all of your comments above. Thanks! Edge3 (talk) 14:53, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
