List of New York Yankees team records

 * Nominator(s):  Giants2008  ( 17-14 )

Here's a second Yankees-related list from me. This is based on the other current baseball team records FLs, and has been peer-reviewed, like all of the lists I've brought here before. As always, I'll be around to respond to the community's comments.  Giants2008  ( 17-14 ) 22:31, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Comments from 
 * Lead


 * After beginning play in Baltimore, Maryland as the Baltimore Orioles in 1901, the club moved to New York two years later; in 1913, the team changed its nickname from the Highlanders to the Yankees. -- The last part implies that the reader already knows that they were known as the Highlanders but its never mentioned before, so that should be reworded accordingly.
 * From 1901 to 2008, the franchise has won more than 9,000 games and 26 World Series championships. -- Is it really necessary to link franchise? Its seems like a pretty common term not needing specific linkage.
 * Outfielder Babe Ruth holds the most franchise records with 15, including career and single-season home runs, batting average, and on-base percentage. -- As seen in previous FLCs and in the context, a comma should go in place before with.
 * Everything else checks out fine.-- TRU  CO   02:10, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * All three of those have now been fixed. Thanks for the quick review!  Giants2008  ( 17-14 ) 04:22, 18 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Support -- Previous issues have been resolved to meet WP:WIAFL standards.-- TRU  CO   21:24, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - I participated in this list's peer review and fully support its inclusion as a FL. Nice work. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 21:13, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

A couple of minor issues, but overall, extremely well done. Hope this helps. Good work. KV5 •  Squawk box  •  Fight on!  12:42, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comments from KV5
 * In the caption of Babe Ruth's lead image, all three numbers are comparative to one another, so spell out "fifteen", rather than 15, per WP:MOSNUM.
 * I would like to see the "#" symbol superscripted or separated from the numbers in some way where ties are indicated. As is, when the characters are the same height, it's cluttered. I believe that I used the § symbol with superscripting to some degree of success throughout several other featured lists.
 * Navbox needs to contain a direct link to this article to be included (see Template:Philadelphia Phillies).
 * 'Twould be nice to have an external link directly to the official site (this was requested of me at my first FLC and I've tried to include it ever since). Don't forget to bullet it.
 * Got all of them. While superscripting the symbols, I realized they didn't have matching colors. Have to go now, but will add the colors later today.  Giants2008  ( 17-14 ) 15:23, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, the colors are now in.  Giants2008  ( 17-14 ) 01:57, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Cheers. Support from KV5  •  Squawk box  •  Fight on!

Comments from
 * "The Yankees compete"-->They compete (avoids the repetition of "The...Yankees" in two consecutive sentences)
 * "Yankees players who are still active"-->Active Yankees players
 * File:Ruth1921.jpg needs a more specific source. We need to be able to easily find the picture.
 * The external link is not really necessary. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:10, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
