List of Manchester United F.C. players (25–99 appearances)

 * Nominator(s): 03  md  02:16, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because it follows the same format as the two other Man United player lists which have been promoted to Featured List. I would like feedback on any problems but hopefully the nomination will be successful. Thanks. 03 md  02:16, 21 February 2011 (UTC) Comments (some may apply to all similar lists in the series)
 * There is a ton of white space before the table, and more images could be added. Nergaal (talk) 02:24, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
 * What's LYR in the LYR F.C.?
 * Means "Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway", need to see how to add it as the name was LYR


 * "The club was formed... and played their..." mix of singular/plural in one sentence.
 * "in 1908 - the First " en-dash required.
 * "the European Cup.[3][2]" [2][3] please.
 * Worth noting that "Champions of European football" was club football, not national football.
 * An awful lot on Tevez in the lead (four sentences/one image), seems a little biased.
 * "despite making fewer than 50 appearances " why has 50 suddenly become relevant in this list of 25 to 99 apps ?
 * Be consistent with diacritics, Tevez is missing his but Murhen etc seem well equipped.
 * Tevez's caption, where are all those stats referenced?
 * Fixed, stats, still got "titles" to ref


 * Sutcliffe's caption - is a dab, doesn't need a full stop, should be expanded a little.
 * Dab Fixed, need to expand now

The Rambling Man (talk) 18:34, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Expand all captions a touch, and remember not to add a full stop unless the sentence is a complete one.
 * O'Connell total needs looking at.
 * Check refs 1 to 5 inclusive for use of en-dash.


 * "and" appears missing before "four Football League Cups."
 * I thought Amazon.com book links were discouraged?  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 23:12, 1 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Why does Tevez get a big fat caption but not the others?—indopug (talk) 05:15, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Missing source for nationality. Sandman888 (talk) 16:19, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Good spot, but I assume this is in the general reference, which is fine for those players up-to-and-including 2008 (the year of publication of the book) but players post-2008 need to have their nationalities referenced. Same would be true for the previous list (and the next one) in this series.  The Rambling Man (talk) 17:06, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Will do, and yes only those who started from the 2008 season.
 * No, it is not in the book, so I object on missing sources. Sandman888 (talk) 08:58, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, well that's a shame. This info needs sourcing, as Sandman says.  I know the online snippets don't have nationality info, perhaps the paper copy does?  I know my Ipswich version of the same book has that info (because I'm reading it right now) but maybe the MUFC one doesn't.  Either way, it would be useful to hear from the nominator in this respect.  The Rambling Man (talk) 22:16, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I recently got List of Manchester United F.C. players (fewer than 25 appearances) to featured list and this concern was not raised, as it was covered on MUFC Info I believe. But I have also been working on similar lists for Fulham where I have taken a different approach and only stated nationalities if they have played for their country. 03  md  21:30, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry but you'll need to answer this direct question here. Where are the nationalities of the players referenced?  The Rambling Man (talk) 21:58, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
