List of New York Yankees Opening Day starting pitchers
I based the format of the article off of List of Seattle Mariners Opening Day starting pitchers which has FL status. All references are reliable, and featured list criteria appears to be meet. -- Mr.crabby   (Talk)   03:04, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Quick comment You've made a bunch of these pitcher lists, why not create a brand-new category for MLB starting pitchers?...or just add a navigational box where you can provide links to these lists. --Crzycheetah 06:22, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks like someone else just went and did it. -- Mr.crabby   (Talk)   14:17, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Comments
 * You should mention that there was a time this franchise was known as the "New York Highlanders".
 * The ref#1 is cited way too many times. I strongly recommend having a general reference for such a long list. Pages 17-19 of this PDF file have all but 3 lineups and can easily be used as a general reference. For those three seasons, you can put a citation next to the pitchers' names. Page 20 of that file has opponent's name and the result.
 * As for the results, why don't you add the scores next to the W, L, T?


 * Comment Is there a reason why these opening day starting pitcher lists don't fail WP:NOT an indiscriminate source of information? I appreciate the amount of work that went into these... it's just, I think it would be nice if there was some reason why we believe the opening day starting pitchers are more notable that the day-two starting pitchers. — PyTom (talk) 19:15, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Because Opening Day is a lot more notable than day-two. —Borgardetalk 14:14, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

 * typo "fraanchise"
 * WP:PCR. I know there are links, but explain what wins and losses are. Do they refer to the games, or something that the pitcher wins?


 * Support with a few comments. First, avoid pipe-linking a stand-alone year per MOS. Also per MOS, spell out numbers below 10. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  17:25, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

I think that the "Key" section would do better as a part (or a sub-section) in the "Pitchers" section.  iMa tth ew (talk) 20:53, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
