List of Boston Red Sox Opening Day starting pitchers
I based the format of the article off of List of Seattle Mariners Opening Day starting pitchers which has FL status. All references are reliable, and featured list criteria appears to be meet. -- Mr.crabby   (Talk)   01:40, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Comments - sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:38, 18 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * Tie in baseball? It's interesting and needs to be explained better given that there is no such page here at Wikipedia.
 * Changed link, I'll try to figure out why that game was a tie -- Mr.crabby   (Talk)   21:29, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Update:I've found a source explaining the tie and have included a brief description and reference in the lead. -- Mr.crabby   (Talk)   00:01, 23 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Currently, the table covers the left side of the images because these images are too big. I am leaning towards opposing because of this problem.
 * Really? I'm not having that problem on my cumputer. Maybe someone who is can help me out a correct the sizes, because I'd just be guessing what the correct size would be. -- Mr.crabby   (Talk)   21:29, 22 September 2008 (UTC)


 * You were forcing a 200px image size to all images.-- Crzycheetah 04:37, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * A huge over-reliance on one source. How many times did you cite that Baseball-reference page? 60? Try finding some other websites if possible.
 * I'll try to find alternative sources to include -- Mr.crabby   (Talk)   21:29, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Support Great work, well done NapHit (talk) 14:48, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Weak support - can we avoid use of small fonts in the table? The Rambling Man (talk) 08:15, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Is there an official policy on the matter? The small font was removed from List of Florida Marlins Opening Day starting pitchers, but personally I think it is more visually appealing when it is smaller. -- Mr.crabby   (Talk)   20:43, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You have to weight up pure aesthetics versus accessibility. Some may find smaller fonts harder to read. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:24, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I started a thread about this this at WP:ACCESS a few weeks ago. The thread is here. It was merged with this one, which is a few months older. The answer, in short, was "resize your screen". I doubt this is what you're looking for, TRM, and neither was I. :( Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 08:26, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Support - looks good to me, well written, well referenced and no obvious mistakes. If I find anything I'll add it (or just go ahead and fix it).   jj137   ( talk )  22:23, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
