List of New Jersey Devils seasons

 * Nominator(s): Anthony Hit me up... 03:36, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

The list is fully cited, and matches the standard of List of Calgary Flames seasons, List of New York Islanders seasons, and List of New York Rangers seasons. Anthony Hit me up... 03:36, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Image needs alt text, and the highlighting for the team achievements needs symbols in addition to shading - follow the example of List of New York Rangers seasons, though I don't think the dagger that denotes SC champions needs to be used three times per row. (And yes, I'm aware that the Flames list needs to be updated in this fashion as well - standards have since changed, alas). Resolute 04:26, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Well I updated the page to match the Rangers standard, including the 3x dagger... easy to change if need be. Everything else is fixed accordingly. Anthony Hit me up... 16:00, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Support, my issues fixed, article looks good. Resolute 00:10, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Comments from Nomader Well done, the list looks good; I only glanced over the lead so someone should probably do a more thorough run-through. -- Nomader (Talk) 07:10, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The first sentence lists "Newark, New Jersey, United States"-- only one of the three example lists you used, the Calgary Flames list, uses the country (because it's outside of the US), and it seems to be a bit extraneous to list United States here.
 * None of the notes work properly in the graph, probably a coding problem.
 * I think the dagger's a little bit overused... I don't think the NHL season won the Stanley Cup. I think the left-most column should be clear of any coloring or symbols.
 * Fixed as per comments. Anthony Hit me up... 13:59, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Support: my concerns have been properly addressed and I see no glaring issues with the list. -- Nomader (Talk) 07:55, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Support – Meets FL standards.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 22:05, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Comments The list looks good, but there are a few nitpicks.
 * I think two "howevers" in a row is too many. "The following year, however..." then the next sentence "Since 1997, however...". Surely, you can tweak the wording a little.
 * Fixed. Anthony (talk) 21:07, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * You have a note explaining why there were 48 games played in the 1994-95 season, yet there are no notes for the two previous seasons where 84 games were played. Also, why there were 80 games played in the first few seasons. I can guess, but I'd like to know for sure.
 * Fixed. Anthony (talk) 21:07, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Why is there no note on overtime losses? The team receives a point for losing in OT, this page does not mention it. I only found it out by looking at the other FLs.
 * Fixed. Anthony (talk) 21:07, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Same thing with penalty shootout
 * Fixed. Anthony (talk) 21:07, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comparing this list with other FLs, I notice that the "All-time regular and postseason record" statistic is missing here. Any reason why?
 * As you'll see above with the discussion with other editors, it was decided that although the Islanders and Rangers use it, the Flames do not, and it flows better as part of the same table (which is my feeling as well). It was originally part of the table, then separated, now it's back to the same table.  The Hockey WP will have to come up with a consensus as to where it belongs, but right now we'll keep it with the rest of the standings, as it flows top to bottom.

 * Support It's good to know that there were games played at neutral arenas. Good job!-- Cheetah  (talk)  22:35, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
