List of Minnesota Twins managers
I believe this list meets all the FLC criteria. Thanks in advance. KV5 •  Squawk box  •  Fight on!  22:17, 7 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment. Please review Johnny Goryl's entry (1980-81). The link to the ref is dead but I doubt he managed 458 games in two half seasons. -maclean 19:27, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Fixed the link and the record - I really don't know how that happened. ✅ KV5  •  Squawk box  •  Fight on!  19:53, 9 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment It gives the managers in text in chronological order, but why not in the lead point out 2-3 of the most famous.  Like Tom Kelly and Walter Johnson ( just guesses ).  I think that is more valuable than the sentence about player-managers which could instead be one of the transition sentences in the history section.Pirate Argh!!1! 05:08, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Walter Johnson was mentioned, along with Bucky Harris and Joe Cronin, in the historical section about Hall of Fame managers. In addition, Tom Kelly is also mentioned as having won the World Series in 1987 and 1991. I did do a slight expansion for Kelly, mentioning that he is second to Harris is both games and seasons managed. Beyond that, to talk about relative fame is toeing the NPOV line, and I certainly don't want to cross that. KV5  •  Squawk box  •  Fight on!  12:25, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Support Looks much better.--Crzycheetah 20:21, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comments - looks very good, just a couple of things.
 * In the table, WPct, this is IMO sloppy, why not just W%?
 * This is the way I've always abbreviated winning percentage; it's still linked and explained, and personally I don't like using symbols in the headers. I personally think that looks sloppy, I think we obviously just have an aesthetic difference of opinion here. KV5  •  Squawk box  •  Fight on!  02:13, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Statistics current through 2007 season - what does this mean?
 * Basically, it means that statistics from the ongoing (current) season are not included, per criterion 7. That's standard across featured lists that involve team/personal records that rack up throughout the baseball season, which is very long. KV5  •  Squawk box  •  Fight on!  02:13, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
