List of Bristol Rovers F.C. players

 * Nominator(s): &mdash; Gasheadsteve Talk to me 15:10, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets the FL criteria, and it has already undergone a peer review to address any major problems. There is a small number of red links in the list at the moment, but as this is a list of sportsmen who have made over 100 professional appearances they are by definition notable, and I am in the process of creating articles for them all. &mdash; Gasheadsteve Talk to me 15:10, 12 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Support great work. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:34, 14 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Support Fixed one minor thing with the positional note. Staxringold talkcontribs 22:17, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Comment – List itself looks good, but I am concerned about the Ben Appleby and Dick Pudan images. What proof do we have that they were published before 1923, not just created? They would have to have been published before that date for the given U.S. public domain licensing to be valid.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 16:20, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
 * To be honest it hadn't even occurred to me that the creation date and the publication date might be different, so thanks for pointing that out. The picture of Dick Pudan was cropped from the 1905 official team photo, so was definitely published the same year. I can't find any information on the original source of the Ben Appleby picture however, so although I'm sure it would have been published before 1923 I've got no evidence to back that up and I'll go ahead and remove it. &mdash; Gasheadsteve Talk to me 20:26, 18 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment: The section Players displays fine in Internet Explorer but in Firefox the images appear first and then the list table. Can this be fixed? Alt text is good. Jezhotwells (talk) 06:40, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not having that problem, I assume it must be something to do with the screen resolution - i.e. the table and photos are too wide to fit side by side. Is there any way that the photos can be made smaller if the resolution is lower, so that they fit across the screen? &mdash; Gasheadsteve Talk to me 09:51, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Certainly to do with resolution, I have a relatively small monitor by 2010 standards (15") and I only get the table and photos side by side when I zoom out to a distance that makes reading the text difficult, and editing Wikipedia impossible. Jezhotwells (talk) 16:39, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure there's anything that can be done about it in that case, other than moving the pictures to a gallery at the bottom of the page, but that would just re-introduce the whitespace that they were put there to fill in the first place. &mdash; Gasheadsteve Talk to me 09:45, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
 * This is the minimum that would be required to make it display well at 800x600. But at high resolutions it looks pretty bad. I think the current tradeoff is reasonable. WFCforLife (talk) 14:46, 24 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Support per the peer review. WFCforLife (talk) 14:48, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Support. Nice work. --Carioca (talk) 21:21, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Support – Now that the photo issues I mentioned above have been taken care of, everything looks good to go.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 22:05, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - can't see any issues, per my understanding of copyright the image you removed would have been OK, but it's no big deal, especially now you've found a bunch of others to put in -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:24, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
