List of Maryland Terrapins football honorees

 * Nominator(s): Strikehold (talk) 15:37, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I think it meets the criteria. Strikehold (talk) 15:37, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Support – looks good to me, very informative, useful and accessible. That's quite a compliment, as I know absolutely nothing about either American football or the Terrapins. Cliftonian  ( Talk  •  Contibs ) 17:14, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment - Got two questions. Why is the All-Americans table aligned center? And is there a reason why the tables are not sortable?— Chris!  c t 23:00, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Not really. Is that better? I nested the key and All-Americans table inside an invisible table and aligned the table to the left margin and centered the key above it.
 * For consistency and appearance mainly. The All-ACC table is really long, and would make scrolling a pain, so I cut it into thirds. Making it sortable like that would defeat the purpose of sorting (if that makes sense). Ditto the UM Hall of Fame table. Strikehold (talk) 23:30, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, I see what you mean. I am closed to be able to support, though I would like other more experienced reviewers to look at the prose before supporting.— Chris!  c t 00:27, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Support — I was asked to do a pre-FLC review and copy edit, which I performed. Even with that, I didn't find very much to fix. It's a clean and clear list that simply looks nice. JKBrooks85 (talk) 23:57, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment – During a review I did before this came to FLC, I noticed two photos that were licensed as in the public domain, but no evidence existed on the images' pages that they were published before 1923, as stated. Has an effort been made to research this further?  Giants2008  ( 17-14 ) 21:55, 20 June 2009 (UTC)


 * For everyone's awareness, Giants2008 is referring to the lead image (Maryland/Johns Hopkins) and the last image (Curley Byrd). Both were without a doubt produced before 1923, but there is a question as to whether they were actually published before then. The source (Univ. of Maryland library system) is not clear on that point. I replaced the lead image with one that was published in 1915, and am looking for a suitable replacement for the Curley Byrd image. I might also send an e-mail to the Univ. of Maryland to see if they can shed light on the publication dates for the two images in question. Strikehold (talk) 16:42, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Still haven't found a definitive answer to this, so I removed the picture. I believe this addresses the image issue. Strikehold (talk) 07:15, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 20:53, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:50, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Support – I gave this a pre-FLC review, and it looked like a very strong list even then. The FLC process has strengthened it further. There was one New York Times reference without an access date, but I added one myself to expedite my support.  Giants2008  ( 17-14 ) 18:03, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
