List of Lincoln City F.C. players

 * Nominator(s): Struway2 (talk) 08:59, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I've been creating dozens of player articles to get the redlink count down (down to about 12 five now, so we're getting there) and staring at the list itself for weeks trying to spot all the deliberate mistakes, and it'd be a dreadful waste of time if I didn't nominate it. This is part one of the Lincoln City F.C. complete player list project (part two might well follow, not convinced part three ever will) split at 100+ appearances as per standard procedure with English football clubs with many hundreds of former players. All constructive criticism gratefully received... Struway2 (talk) 08:59, 9 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Quick comment – Is a page number possible for ref 3? It's to a specific fact, so a cite to the whole book isn't precise enough in this case. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 22:16, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Added. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 22:59, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
 * "Goalkeeper David Felgate is the only man in this appearance range to have been capped by his country while a Lincoln City player" - at this point you haven't actually said what the appearance range is, so this is confusing..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:28, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Fair point, thanks for noticing. Re-arranged. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 11:37, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Support - can't see any issues now -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:45, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment. Can the flag for Lee Frecklington be changed to match the one for Peter Gain? I'm not sure how or when, but some flags have a blue border depending on which template is used. Rather annoying. Most seem to have been corrected now atleast. Walls of Jericho (talk) 16:50, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Are you sure they're different? They do use different templates: Gain uses fbu for the automatic U21 wording, while Frecklington uses flagicon with manually added wording. But I've just tried putting the flagicon one next to the fbu and magnifying them up to enormous, and they both seem to have a border and (to me) look exactly the same. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 18:06, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
 * That's bizarre. When I magnified my screen the blue border for Frecklington changed to grey, like the rest. When I put it back to normal it was blue again. It must be something at my end, either the screen or the browser. Sorry for the inconvenience. Walls of Jericho (talk) 18:52, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Support. Excellent work as usual. Walls of Jericho (talk) 18:57, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
