List of Montserrat national football team results

 * Nominator(s): -- Big  Dom  11:42, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe that it meets all of the FL criteria. The list provides a comprehensive and complete history of the results of the Montserrat national football team. Look forward to all of your comments, thanks in advance for your time. -- Big  Dom  11:42, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Comment the key section should come before the actual list and should be in table form. "In the "Score" column, Monserrat's score is shown first." should be a footnote— Chris! c / t 19:41, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Have put the key first and used a footnote, but from previous experience at FL I'm afraid I don't agree about having the key in table format so I've not done that. -- Big  Dom  12:51, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Many FLs have the key in table format in case you didn't notice. But I guess that is just personal preference, so feel free to leave that alone.— Chris! c / t 18:32, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I meant in my own experience here, I haven't had to put any keys in a table format. Like you say, it's just personal preference so I may as well leave it as it is. -- Big  Dom  23:21, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, I support— Chris! c / t 01:55, 31 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Comments Support
 * next seven matches, before → next seven matches before
 * Done -- Big  Dom


 * What does becoming a FIFA member have to do with the volcano?
 * Split into two sentences -- Big  Dom


 * The friendly match, between the two lowest-ranked teams in the world, ended → The friendly match between the two lowest-ranked teams in the world ended
 * Done -- Big  Dom


 * Is is necessary to say "As a full FIFA member", or can it just say "FIFA"? Was it only a partial member before?
 * Removed "full" -- Big  Dom


 * I think record tables tend to be WLD rather than WDL.
 * The nominator is from the UK, and in the UK (and in fact pretty much everywhere outside the USA) sports tables are always shown in the WDL format -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:00, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've always seen tables as WDL so I guess this one's just personal preference -- Big  Dom
 * Not wishing to pile-on, but yes, WDL is conventional in the UK and even in US publications about European football like Serie A. The Rambling Man (talk) 23:38, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Notes A, B, C, D, and E are redundant to the lead or unnecessary because they can easily be inferred from the table.
 * Removed them -- Big  Dom

Nice list overall. Reywas92 Talk 03:09, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the tips, I have addressed them all now. -- Big  Dom  08:55, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
