List of Boston Red Sox seasons
previous FLC (07:29, 25 February 2008)

Self nomination. I cleaned up the sections and made this more like a FL since the last nom. The lead has also been expanded, and I think this article is ready. STORMTRACKER   94  Go Irish! 12:21, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Much, much better, and much more what FLs are about. Some specific comments.
 * Comments from
 * First para of lead could use citation, as could the claims over their nickname origins, as could the third paragraph entirely. STORMTRACKER    94  Go Irish! 21:48, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Use WP:MOS for guidance on image sizing. For images other than lead images, just use   for landscape and   for portraits.  Consider moving on of the images into the lead.  STORMTRACKER    94  Go Irish! 21:35, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * There's a stray full stop between the key and the table.
 * Get rid of the 2008 row. The lead says it's a list of completed seasons.  STORMTRACKER    94  Go Irish! 21:38, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * If columns are sortable, they should be useful, sorting on Results when you have things like "Tied for..." isn't useful. STORMTRACKER    94  Go Irish! 21:41, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Games Behind should be Games behind and, also, doesn't sort correctly, probably because of the 1/2 character you use. STORMTRACKER    94  Go Irish! 21:41, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Why is Canceled in capitals? STORMTRACKER    94  Go Irish! 21:39, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * And what is the relevance of italics? It's not clear.  STORMTRACKER    94  Go Irish! 21:39, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Image captions, if fragments, shouldn't have full stops.
 * You're using an image which appears to be at WP:CSD. It needs to go.
 * Note 9 should use an en-dash.
 * I don't see the need for one. Could you please be more specific? STORMTRACKER    94

 * Now it's note 13, where you have a page range, it needs to use the en-dash not the hyphen to separate. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:05, 14 April 2008 (UTC) -  Milk's   favorite   Cookie  18:52, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

So, oppose for now, but these can all be fixed. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:58, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Where do you actually get these stats from? Do you have a general reference?  It's not clear.  STORMTRACKER    94  Go Irish! 21:56, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Comments
 * Remove spaces before citations per WP:CITE. STORMTRACKER    94  Go Irish! 20:09, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * At least have the wins and losses sortable. STORMTRACKER    94  Go Irish! 20:08, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Consider the use of the sort template for the Games behind column.
 * Avoid the use of the small text at the top of the table in the key, not needed.
 * MLB should be in parentheses after its first use so people understand the acronym. STORMTRACKER    94  Go Irish! 20:11, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Where is AL expanded?
 * American League. I'm not sure if this is what you mean, though. STORMTRACKER    94  Go Irish! 20:14, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Some more to deal with. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:31, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose I am confused, very, very confused. Please take a look at Boston Red Sox seasons and explain to me how come we have two lists on the same subject. Also by looking at Category:Major League Baseball teams seasons, I notice that most of the MLB season lists are named just "Team seasons". I am opposing until this confusion is resolved. As a side note, I'd like to add that the table at Boston Red Sox seasons provides a lot more useful information than the table in the nominated list.-- Crzycheetah 21:02, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
