List of UEFA Cup winners
I'm nominating this list for featured list status as I believe that the list meets all the necessary requirements to become a featured list. Thanks in advance for your comments NapHit (talk) 19:08, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - in the key, "Champion won by after extra time on a penalty shootout" is grammatical gibberish. It should probably be "Champion won by a penalty shootout after extra time" - ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:07, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing that out fixed now NapHit (talk) 20:05, 30 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * See my comment re:Primary sources in the European Cup list. I'm guessing there's a couple more of these lists to come so please address these comments on those too.
 * Don't like the "pictured here" - it's pretty clear what that image is.
 * I'd like to understand the scope of the competition as early as possible in the lead rather than the inaugural winners.
 * Shouldn't the heading "Two-legs " be "Two-legged finals" or "Finals over two legs"?
 * Since the first table is unsortable you have a load of overlinking going on.
 * Not sure I'm keen on the different table types being used.
 * Be consistent with headings e.g. Country in first table, nothing in the second.
 * In the first table, "Home Team" could just be "Home team". Same for away.
 * "most successful teams" table = "Runners-Up" - just "Runners-up" please.

 * Comment
 * I brought this up at peer review but I see it's still there. In the two-legged section, the venue of the second leg, should just be in the row for the second leg, and not also in the aggregate row. Peanut4 (talk) 16:39, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm a bit confused by this list. It says it's a list of UEFA Cup winners, but the tables appear to contain a list of finals, where much more width is given to the name of the stadium, the city and the country where the final was held than is given to the winner. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 17:37, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment
 * The list is similar to List of Super Bowl champions where the venue and the location of the venue are included, essentially it is still a list of winners as the finals are a match, therefore having a list of winners without the scores and runners-up in my opinion would make the list incomplete, I could remove the venue and location if you wished but I feel it would be to the etriment of the list. Also there is more width given to the venue and city, as they are generally longer than team names. NapHit (talk) 17:45, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't have a problem with the other information being there; it ought to be there. I just think 1) too much width is devoted to the venue, and 2) the actual winner isn't highlighted in any way. For instance, do the stadium and the city/country need to be in separate columns? they used not to be when this table was on the main UEFA Cup article. Or if you think they ought to be separate, could a line break be added between the city and the country? (Afterthought: not sure how much that'd help with Monchengladbach...) The Superbowl article is different, in that the teams are coloured by Conference and there's no need for flag/country columns, so it's easy to pick out the important items on each row. Not that I'm advocating colouring the table in, you understand, how the Superbowl list does it runs counter to MoS for a start, but perhaps each winner could be bolded to make it more noticeable? See what you think. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 18:30, 2 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Done all except for sorting which I feel should be included as it features on the other lists of this nature which have single match finals NapHit (talk) 20:12, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Comments Matthew Edwards (talk • contribs • email) 23:25, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * "that was" in the opening sentence is redundant
 * Widen the "nat" columns so the flags and ISO-3 names are on one line.
 * You've used the emdash in this list for "empty" cells, but the endash in the Champions League list. Assuming you're going for a WP:FT (or even just because they're similar lists), they should be consistent.
 * "years won" and "years runners up" columns don't need to be sortable as they only sort by the first year given
 * There's a typo in the website name on reference 33


 * Thank for the comments Matthew I've dealt with them all now NapHit (talk) 16:44, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. I added 1% to the column widths of NAT, because they still weren't on one line. I haven't tried it on different screen sizes or anything; it may be worth doing, or   or whatever. I'm not too sure how to do it exactly. Anyway, I can support without it. Matthew Edwards (talk • contribs • email) 06:09, 6 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Support Now comments have been dealt with. Don't feel there's anything left to comment on. Thanks, Mattythewhite (talk) 19:09, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
