List of Fulham F.C. players

 * Nominator(s): 03  md  05:23, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because after a peer review I think is ready to become a featured list. Any comments are appreciated. 03 md  05:23, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Comments
 * There will no doubt be some discussion over the title (e.g. should it include "(100 appearances or more)")
 * Personal preference but I don't like links to our Category space being presented like that (I'd pipelink it, but I know you can't in that template) - similarly I don't like seeing the # link either, it's okay for those of us who know what that means, but it's confusing to non-Wiki-expert readers. I'd opt for not using the "see also" template, and write it out as you like, still indented and in italics, but taking advantage of pipelinking, e.g.
 * "This article is about players who have made more than 100 apperances for Fulham. For a list of all Fulham players, major or minor, with a Wikipedia article, see the Fulham F.C. players category. For the current Fulham first-team squad, see current squad."
 * Done.


 * Lead image could be made larger, and could use alt text. I think the caption could be reduced too.
 * Done - feel free to alter the alt text as I have not used it much before.


 * "They initially played at Fulham Fields before a move to Craven Cottage in 1896. They played their first ..." merge.
 * Is that what you meant.


 * "pass the 100-appearance mark..." when did he do this?
 * Found the best ref I could for that.

 * "Half back" is a dab link.
 * "ordered by the year in which they debuted for the club and then alphabetically by surname" not true, initially 1905 has Threlfall ahead of Collins... There may be others!!
 * "Int. country [nb 1]" remove space between text and note.
 * "for 2002–03 and 2009–10 are" can we have "the" after "for" and "seasons" before "are" here please?
 * Gibbon has no "Wales".
 * I don't think "None" should sort between Netherlands and Northern Ireland. Probably should sort dead last or dead first.
 * Albert Sewell's ref needs an en-dash.
 * Same with fifth gen ref.
 * Refs 1 & 3 have double full stop, you'll need to "trick" the template here...
 * Refs 10 to 22 (ex 21) need en-dashes in number ranges in the titles...

Comments –
 * The 1902–03 season link would be better served as a link to that season's FA Cup.
 * Players: "This list contains players who have made more than 100 appearancs for the Fulham". Remove "the".
 * "The figure for league appearances and goals...". Should "figure" be plural? It's talking about two stats.
 * No need for the repeat competition links in the second paragraph.
 * The last three general references are formatted as if they were external links. Is this meant to be a form of shorthand? If not, I recommend formatting them just like regular citations.
 * Reference 8 has a formatting glitch in the publisher.
 * Authors have a mix of styles in whether the first or last name comes first. Pick one and stick with it.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 22:25, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose – After almost three weeks, my issues remain unaddressed along with those of two other reviewers. At a time when FLC is pushing 40 lists, we can't afford to leave stagnant noms here.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 21:05, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Source(s) for international appearances?
 * Re bluelinks: Roberto Herrera seems to be an Argentinian dancer and Gary Barnett a player of American football; are you sure all the other links are correct?
 * Several of the links to the Times Online multipage piece are wrong (the number range in the reference title doesn't match with the page the url points to).
 * Please be consistent about whether you're using both work and publisher for references to the same work (e.g. #2 references Independent Online as a work without publisher but #6 does have a publisher). There's no real need to have both, for well-known works, but whatever you do, check they're correct: compare the publishers of #3 and ##11–20: one of them has to be wrong.
 * It says the stats are correct as of 19 March, but the accessdates for the current players' Soccerbase pages are all 23 January...
 * There are hyphens in the career dates column that should be endashes
 * I'd call Trevor "Tosh" Chamberlain just Tosh Chamberlain, that's his common name
