List of French Open Men's Singles champions

 * Nominator(s):  BLUE DOG TN 06:14, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because it is up to the same standards the other three articles are that are FL List of Wimbledon Gentlemen's Singles champions, List of US Open Men's Singles champions, and List of Australian Open Men's Singles champions, which I was the one who got the last two up to FL status. I know that I cannot get some scores because they were not official slam tournaments, and are unsourced anywhere on the web, which means I would have to do original research for Pre-1925 tournaments. This is not allowed on wikipedia. I know their is disputed champions, which are the 1941-1945, and are only listed here as historical figures, but the slam does not recognize them as champions. The scores and runners-up for this time period are unknown! BLUE DOG TN 06:14, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
 * If you site grammer as your oppose tell me how to fix it, or what needs to be fixed, which if you don't do that fix it yourself.
 * Note that it's not the reviewers' responsibility to "fix" the entire article. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:15, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I know that, but the last time some just kept on saying grammer for their oppose, which how am I suppose to know what grammer they are speaking about,! I will fix it if they point it out, but if they don't point it out what exactly it is I cannot fix a mystery. BLUE DOG TN 00:20, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is often helpful if reviewers provide examples. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:49, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Quick comments
 * Ilie Năstase and Robin Söderling should sort as Na... and So... repectively.
 * I fixed this. BLUE DOG TN 14:08, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah but don't remove the diacratics, it's part of the name. Instead keep them and read about and use the sortkey parameter in Sortname and use that. Rambo's Revenge (talk)  16:37, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Made the appropriate corrections to include the diacratics and sortable in the right places. BLUE DOG TN 21:18, 14 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately there is some serious double about the Lendl photo, other  images are okay.
 * I removed it. BLUE DOG TN 14:08, 14 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Note f needs a source that doesn't list them. You give sources that do list them but as they are disputed, you need evidence of them not being included as well.
 * I addressed this. BLUE DOG TN 14:08, 14 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually I realise this is actually in the general references. You can leave it as is if you want, but it might be useful to point the reader there in this case.
 * Sourcing. What is your source for the set scores. Ref 5 doesn't give them. Ref 10 gives a few but ones such as 1891-1895 and 1904 are completely unsourced.
 * Can't find them, so tell me if you want me to delete them because they were here by someone else before I got here. BLUE DOG TN 14:08, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Well the "threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth". That said I suspect with some digging you might find them. Books, is there a winners board at Roland Garros? This seems to cover 1904. Additionally, this seesm to suggest the first final was 6-3 6-2 (not 6-4). Regardless, it should be reliably sourced.

 * I will have to go to the library to check and see if I can find some sources on the score late next week, until then, I will just fix grammer errors in this article! BLUE <sub style="color:#FF0000;">DOG TN 01:48, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * What is the status on these comments? Dabomb87 (talk) 22:28, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * The information is still not verified as yet. <b style="color:#E32636;">Rambo's Revenge</b> <b style="color:#FFA500;">(talk)</b>  23:46, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I've refrained from getting too involved in this review, but I'm pretty much on the same page as Rambo. I would be able to support if this were dealt with. WFCforLife (talk) 07:09, 6 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Note f: Few things I noticed here. A space is needed after references 4 and 5, the bold italicized DISPUTED should be toned down, and "souces" is a typo.
 * Fixed, I hope BLUE <sub style="color:#FF0000;">DOG TN 01:32, 27 February 2010 (UTC)


 * References 14 and 15 need publishers.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 00:18, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Fixed, I think, so BLUE <sub style="color:#FF0000;">DOG TN 01:32, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
