List of papal elections

 * Nominator(s): Savidan 16:35, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I think it meets the criteria. It's been stable for a while (although many of the redlinks have turned blue). It's comprehensive and useful. Savidan 16:35, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Comments
 * Not sure if this is best served as a bunch of century lists, or just one big list. Particularly as each individual list is sortable, but only sortable within its own century... somewhat diminishes the utility of the function.


 * Thank you for your thorough comments. I believe I have remedied the majority of them. I have opted not to make the wikitables sortable; I initially made them sortable by copy-and-pasting the markup from the cardinal lists in the individual election articles, and there is no utility to sorting in this context. As to the sources for the 2005 conclave, all three books are devoted in their entirety to the conclave itself. For this reason, it seems helpful to include all three, and no subset of pages would be particularly helpful to the reader. Savidan 19:53, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Comments –
 * Might just be me, but I find List a bit generic as a section heading title. Something like Papal elections would be more descriptive of what's to follow, and headings with titles like this are used in many FAs.
 * In refs 72 and 76, the page ranges should have pp. instead of p., as multiple-page cites.
 * Is the last reference entirely about the 2005 papal election. If not, a page number would be handy there. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 03:26, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I have implemented your first two suggested. No subset of the Greeley book would be useful to the reader. It's all the conclave. Savidan 04:13, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
