List of Faroe Islands national football team results

 * Nominator(s): Argyle 4 Life  talk  00:47, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

It has been a while since I've been here, for a variety of reasons, but recently I have felt like doing something different and I believe that this article meets all relevant criteria to become a featured list. If anyone has any queries or spots a mistake then I'll endeavour to correct them as quickly as I can. Argyle 4 Life talk  00:47, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

 Comments Support –
 * "and entered its first major international competition later that year; the qualifying rounds for the 1992 UEFA European Football Championship." Semi-colon would be better off as a colon.
 * Done.
 * A bunch of references have hyphens that should be converted to en dashes.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 21:20, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I think I've got them all.

Thanks for the review. Argyle 4 Life talk  15:25, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Comments. Couple of picky things is all.
 * In the lead, suggest spelling out UEFA and FIFA the first time they're used, with the abbreviation in brackets. The non-football reader might possibly be thrown by the Faroes joining FIFA, which happens to share its initials with the Faroe Islands FA.
 * Done.
 * In the Results Key, could you wikilink Own goal.
 * Done.
 * In the Scorers column, would the dashes look better left-aligned with the scorers? this may be just a matter of personal taste.

Matter of interest, if anyone reading this who knows why empty cells have to contain a dash could point me towards the relevant guideline, I'd be grateful.

**I did have them blank initially and then added centred emdashes when KV5 said it would be preferable. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 08:46, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
 * In the Att column, could you display n/k rather than an emdash where the attendance figure is unknown? to me, the dash implies none, or inapplicable, rather than unknown.
 * Done.
 * You won't like this one. Do you think the home/away/neutral code should have its own column, for sortability?
 * If the table wasn't so wide then I probably would have. Venues and competitions would be squashed into multiple rows and I'm not a fan of that.
 * The 1996 Yugoslavia games should show the FR Yugoslavia flag, not the SFR, which wasn't used after 1992.  works:
 * Thanks for that. God bless flags. They met in 2001 as well so I've changed them too.
 * Thanks for your comments, always appreciated. Argyle 4 Life  talk  13:06, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Support. Appears to meet criteria, and nominator has, as usual, been prompt and willing to respond to reviewers' valid concerns. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 20:22, 21 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Support All my quandaries have been suitably addressed, great work. NapHit (talk) 20:10, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

 Comment, close to Support: The sorting on the "Score" column seems a bit random. May I suggest using to sort by goal margin for (+1, +2) and against (-1, -2)? So for example a 1–0 win would be sorted as "+1" and a 2–3 loss as "–1". Just an idea. Otherwise looks great. —Cliftonianthe orangey bit 19:08, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I like that. It'll take a while and I'm short of time tonight, but I'll have it done tomorrow. Argyle 4 Life  talk  22:13, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Good stuff. If it's a heavy load I'm happy to help you out. —Cliftonianthe orangey bit 07:50, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
 * All done, how does it look? Thanks for the offer of help. It didn't take too long. Argyle 4 Life  talk  12:18, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
 * The sorting was still funny, but I fixed it. It uses letters now; 0=n, –1=o, +1=m and so on. I'm upgrading to support; well done! —Cliftonian<b style="color:#ff3300">the orangey bit</b></i> 13:29, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
