List of Cardiff City F.C. managers

 * Nominator(s): Kosack (talk) 19:08, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I've given it a complete overhaul in the last week or so to expand, reference and tidy the existing base. I believe this now brings into line with other similar managerial lists. Look forward to any comments. Kosack (talk) 19:08, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Further comments from ChrisTheDude
 * "manager Jimmy Scoular reached the semi-final of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1968" - the team reached the semis, not the manager
 * "successive relegations to the Fourth Division under Alan Durban" - were they twice relegated to the Fourth Division (which the wording implies), or were they relegated twice and ultimately wound up in the Fourth?
 * "the outbreak of World War II saw" - the outbreak of a war doesn't have eyes. I suggest using "led to"
 * "Burrows moved on in 1989 after leaving" - last two words are probably redundant
 * "Cardiff finished 22nd during the end of his first season" - I've lost track of which division they were in at this point so might be worth re-stating it
 * In two of the notes, the word "both" is redundant
 * Not a quality query, but just a query - what the heck was the Century Cup? I've never heard of it.  Is it actually significant enough to mention?
 * Think that's it from me -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:39, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the further comments, I believe I've amended all of the issues raised. Kosack (talk) 19:48, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Comments from NatureBoyMD
 * Lead: "In the 1960s, Cardiff began competing in European competition..." The "competing"/"competition" repetition is a little clunky. How about something like, "In the 1960s, Cardiff entered European competition..."? - Done
 * Lead: Link the first instances of "caretaker managers" and "managers". - Done
 * 1939–1995: "Spiers had previously been assistant manager under Frank Buckley at Wolverhampton Wanderers but his move to Cardiff was his first managerial appointment." Add a comma after "Wanderers". - Done
 * 1939–1995: "Spiers had agreed to take a cut in wages during wartime but the Cardiff board refused to restore his original wages after the end of the war." Add a comma after "wartime". - Done
 * 1939–1995: "The board were able to persuade Spiers to rejoin the club and he led a side built around players brought through by his youth system to the First Division in 1952." Add a comma after "club". - Done
 * 1939–1995: "He left the club in 1958 to manage Swansea Town and was replaced by his assistant Bill Jones who had previously managed Barry Town and Worcester City." Place commas before and after "Bill Jones".- Done
 * 1995–: "He was unable to prevent the club's relegation from the Premier League and a poor start to the following campaign led to his dismissal in September 2014." Place a comma after "League". - Done
 * Table: Neil Warnock has an extraneous empty cell needing removal. - Done
 * Table: Bill Jones has an honour as "runner-up". All others render this as "runner s -up". - Done
 * Table: Fred Stewart, Jimmy Andrews, and Eddie May need their honours changed (for example) from "2 Welsh Cup" to "2 Welsh Cup s ". - Done
 * References: Several references use title case (ex 3, 37). Others use sentence case (4, 10, 13). The General refs all use title case. They should all use the same style.
 * Everything else looks good to me. NatureBoyMD (talk) 21:20, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review, made a start on these. Will finish the rest asap. Kosack (talk) 08:34, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I think I've addressed all of the issues above. Let me know if there is anything else. Kosack (talk) 10:13, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Support Well done. NatureBoyMD (talk) 12:44, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
