List of Puerto Rican boxing world champions

 * Nominator(s): -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q. 

I am nominating this for featured list based on the progress presented during the last months. Since its creation, the list has been expanded, sourced and even verified for accuracy by a boxing writer (Antonio Martin). After undergoing peer review, I applied a few tweaks, but most of the review's concern were of technical nature and they have been fixed or clarified by now. This is the next logical step, I will work with this nomination on behalf of WP:PUR and WP:BOXING. Please note that my work rate will be significantly higher on weekends due to college, so if it goes unattended for a couple of days, rest assured that I will pick it up then. Thanks for your time. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  00:43, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Comment Looks pretty good to me, just some minor issues — Chris!  c t 01:51, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * group footnotes and references into two columns
 * Applied to the footnotes, but the Boxrec notes are using separate templates, which will probably prevent the use of that format. -   Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  19:26, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I've done it for you.— Chris!  c t 00:05, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * "† indicates boxer of Puerto Rican heritage that is recognized by the commission due to parent's nationality, residence or other circumstances ." - Move this above the table and remove the extra space in front of the period
 * Both issues corrected. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  19:26, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * for the above, both symbol and color have to be used per WP:ACCESS
 * Added color to the symbol, I'm not sure if that is what you meant. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  19:26, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, I meant coloring the box, like List of Vancouver Canucks captains.— Chris!  c t 22:04, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I've done it for you.— Chris!  c t 00:05, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  01:20, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * "Successful Defenses" --> "Successful defenses"
 * Corrected. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  19:26, 25 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the review, I am working with it. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  19:26, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Comments from 
 * Lead
 * These include: Wilfredo Gómez's record for most defenses in the super bantamweight division and for most successive knockouts by a titleholder. -- The colon should be removed because its not proper to use it here.
 * Replaced it with a comma. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  01:20, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The acronyms WBA and WBO need to be spelled out in their first occurrences.
 * I decided to spell them in their second occurrences, particularly because the first are inside parenthesis, which would lead to an awkward format. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  01:20, 27 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Boxing in Puerto Rico
 * The acronym CMTC needs to be spelled out in its first occurrence.
 * Actually, I'm not sure what "CMTC" stands for, the book only uses this acronym. My guess is that it is similar to the ROTC concept, but that would be OR. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  01:20, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Then it would best to either remove it or research what it means, because its questionable when reading the text.-- TRU  CO   17:51, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, I found its meaning and added it to the article. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  03:35, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * They were surprised to discover that several members of law enforcement agencies and the government were involved, a group of police officers including a colonel, two members of the governor's cabinet, numerous legislators and a judge. -- The comma before a group of should be a colon.
 * Corrected. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  01:20, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * In 1926, a boxing venue was opened in a military facility known as Cuartel de Ballaja, with card being organized weekly.  -- Add 'a' before card being
 * Added. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  01:20, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The first Puerto Rican to win a world championship was Sixto Escobar, who did it on June 26, 1934. -- did should be 'won'
 * Fixed. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  01:20, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * In the 1960s and 1970s there was an improvement in the number of pugilists reaching this recognition. -- Comma after 1970s
 * Added. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  01:20, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Including Wilfred Benítez who on March 6, 1976, became the youngest world champion in history at 17 years old. -- Comma after who and remove the comma after 1976
 * I believe that this is the widespread format for full dates within a sentence. For example, this is taken from today's Main Page FA: "Caspar David Friedrich was born on September 5, 1774, in Greifswald, Swedish Pomerania". -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  01:20, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Wiki has some weird formats, but okay.-- TRU  CO   17:51, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * During the following decades the Puerto Rico Boxing Commission took initiative in certain aspects when compared to other entities. -- Comma after decades
 * Added. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  01:20, 27 February 2009 (UTC)


 * List of world champions
 * I believe its not necessary to have the symbol with color, the default color should be able to suffice.
 * Chris fixed that one. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  01:20, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The symbol should be placed in a table.
 * There isn't sufficient width left to add another field to the table, we are using 99%, which is already stretching the article. I provided a more detailed example on the list's talk page. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  01:20, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh okay, but I hope you know that I mean make the symbol in a key table format.-- ₮RU  CӨ   01:49, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, to be honest, I'm lost here. Can you provide an example? -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  03:35, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, its fine.-- ₮RU  CӨ   03:53, 3 March 2009 (UTC)


 * References
 * The formatting is a bit awkward, the MOS really doesn't say anything about this system, where did you find this system? TRU  CO   22:26, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * It is a simplified version of the one used in List of Academy Award winners and nominees for Best Foreign Language Film. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  01:23, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, okay. I've just never seen that format before.-- TRU  CO   17:51, 28 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Support -- Previous issues resolved to meet WP:WIAFL standards]].-- ₮RU  CӨ   03:53, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
