 * Comments Some quick comments,
 * Sorting doesn't work at all
 * Names should be left-aligned
 * I've been having problems with the sorting too, I don't have any idea what's wrong with it or how to fix it. I did check it and it works for some tables and some columns, but not all. As for the alignment, I construct all my tables and FLs as centered as an aesthetic choice because it looks sloppy to have some left columns and some center.

 * Sorting by name? Use the sortname template instead of the plain sort template - should fix at least one of the problems.  The Rambling Man (talk) 17:55, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Comments from

 * The problem with the sorting is because of the statistical source at the bottom of the table, because you have used colspan in the table it does not sort properly due to their being some problem with colspan and sortable tables being together. To get around this issue just put the reference next to the title on each one. Or you could have a little bit of text introducing each table and have a reference at the end of the text.
 * I can't put the references in the title per MOS. No links in section headers.
 * Ok then I advise writing a short sentence above the tables and putting the reference there and remove it from the list, otherwise it won;'t sort properly. NapHit (talk) 17:29, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * You can use  to sort names instead of sort for example
 * Well, the name sorting works fine the way it is at the moment.
 * Dates should be not wikilinked per recent MOS changes
 * Baseball dates (especially if they are in context to the presented facts, which these are) are supposed to be linked to the appropriate MLB seasons.
 * Sorry seems you got confused, I meant dates as in September 1, 2002, but they're all unlinked anyway, yeh the MLB dates are fine NapHit (talk) 17:29, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * If I'm right it's only figures that should be centrally aligned anything else should be left aligne
 * As I've said above, I center tables as an aesthetic decision; I believe that having parts of the table centered and others not looks extremely sloppy.

Hope this helps NapHit (talk) 18:27, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Comments - sources look okay. Links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:19, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Quick comment - sorting names is easy if you use the sortname template. Give me a shout if you need any more help with it. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:15, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, it appears embedding the mlby template causes further problems with sorting. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:00, 16 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Due to a lack of time on my part currently as an editor, I ask that this nomination be suspended pending the completion of my move back to Pennsylvania, at which time I will fix the concerns here and re-nominate. Thank you for your help and consideration. KV5  •  Squawk box  •  Fight on!  01:42, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
