List of Louisville Colonels managers

 * Nominator(s): Rlendog (talk) 01:45, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets the criteria, and while there are many baseball related featured lists, few involve 19th century teams. Rlendog (talk) 01:45, 22 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Dabs; please check the disambiguation links identified in the toolbox. Dabomb87 (talk) 04:02, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I missed that one in the caption. It's no longer a dab link. Rlendog (talk) 21:19, 24 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Support.—NMajdan &bull;talk 14:00, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Note on alt text The alt text is well done, except for one detail: phrases about the provenance of the image are unnecessary (e.g. "black and white photo"). The baseball card phrase is fine though. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:46, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, the "#" is over-explained—there's a footnote about it as well as a row in the key explaining it. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:47, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your comments. I think I have addressed them.  I admit I am surprised about the alt text comment (this is my first FLC since that became an issue).  I would have thought that whether something was a black and white photo or a color photo would be important in describing the image.  But I am fine taking it out.  I guess I have some work to do on a couple of other lists that included this in the alt text. Rlendog (talk) 01:19, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Support – Meets FL standards after the fixes. By the way, the Hall of Fame link now works properly.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 21:07, 12 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Comments from KV5
 * "when it was considered a Major League from 1882 through 1891" - de-capitalize major league
 * A n explanation of "player-manager" in the lead would be nice so that readers don't have to leave the article, especially since this is from the era when player-managers were both relevant and common.

All in all, well done. Clarification of these two issues will allow me to support this list. KV5 ( Talk  •  Phils ) 17:24, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I took care of the capitalization issue.  For the "player-manager" issue, I did not want to sidetrack the narrative with a defintion (which is relatively self-explanatory) so I added a comment that Clarke played as a Colonels' outfielder while he served as their manager.  See if this works. Rlendog (talk) 20:35, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Perfect. Wholehearted support. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 21:05, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Comment There is a dead link; check the toolbox. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:11, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks like they just changed that link on me. I updated it. Rlendog (talk) 20:34, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
 * The HOF is going through a site revamp right now; thus, every link from that site at the moment is now dead. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 20:41, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
