List of presidents of Georgetown University

 * Nominator(s):  Ergo Sum  20:13, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

This is my first FL nomination, so feedback from the FL regulars would be much appreciated. I've improved this article several times over the years, most significantly in the past week, and believe it meets the FL criteria. Thanks in advance.  Ergo Sum  20:13, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Support, as my concerns are addressed, and article overall looks to be in featured shape. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 19:11, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Source review – Pass
Will do soon. Aza24 (talk) 03:00, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I like the timline Sdkb mentioned! I would think it's inclusion in this list could only be an improvement; List of presidents of the University of Illinois System, which is also at FLC right now, just added one as well, if that's any reassurance. Aza24 (talk) 03:00, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Please see my related comments above. I welcome your input.  Ergo Sum  02:52, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Unrelated to sources, but is there a point in putting the start and end dates in different columns? They'll sort the same regardless
 * Not really. I'll combine them into one column.  Ergo Sum  02:52, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Sources
 * Formatting
 * Any identifier for Chambon, Célestin M. (1909)? OCLC, ISBN etc? (and for the other Catholic Encyclopedia refs, if possible)
 * Added OCLC.  Ergo Sum  03:05, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Citations
 * Is there a link for ref 48? Or if not, an ISSN might be helpful
 * There are only 46 citations. But, I've double checked all the refs and they all have links except two of the Curran books, for which there is no courtesy link available, but they have ISBNs listed.  Ergo Sum  03:08, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Apologies, I was rather talking about the last citation, 45. I'm assuming it's not a web source (since there's no link) I'm just wondering if there's any additional information that can be added (an ISSN for example) to increase verifiability. Aza24 (talk) 02:36, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh, yes, the only link that I can find for that news article is in newspaper archive databases that are accessible only by subscription, which usually are not included as courtesy links.  Ergo Sum  02:54, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Are we sure the NYT access status parameters should be different?
 * You are right. Fixed.  Ergo Sum  03:10, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 * have you had a chance to take a look at my responses?  Ergo Sum  22:12, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the ping, I missed your last one, but it makes sense. Aza24 (talk) 22:14, 16 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Reliability
 * No doubts here


 * Verifiability
 * Spotchecks not done Aza24 (talk) 03:15, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Pass for source review. Aza24 (talk) 22:14, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

 * "{ class="wikitable sortable"" should be "{ class="wikitable sortable plainrowheaders"" to start off the main table
 * Tables are not my forte. Is this a stylistic point or an MOS requirement?  Ergo Sum  01:35, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I believe it's a bit of both. I know we're not supposed to be bold linking wikilinks, and all examples at WP:WHENTABLE use it. Therapyisgood (talk) 02:02, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Done.  Ergo Sum  02:59, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Perhaps link ex officio somewhere, if appropriate.
 * Linkedin.  Ergo Sum  01:24, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * "chartered by Congress" US Congress I'm assuming?
 * Yes, clarified.  Ergo Sum  01:24, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * File:Timothy S. Healy.png: archive link is not present.
 * Added.  Ergo Sum  01:28, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * In the most recent president's notes: "Georgetown alumnus." is not a complete sentence so a period is not required.
 * Per the discussion above, I've been informed that the MOS requires periods in a paragraph if punctuation is used at all.  Ergo Sum  01:30, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * "white American university." perhaps "predominately white American university" as the source says.
 * I don't believe there was actually a difference at this point in history, but I've modified it to be extra sure.  Ergo Sum  01:30, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Healy notes aren't complete sentences, no need for periods.
 * See above.  Ergo Sum  01:30, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm seeing more generally notes section sentences using periods which really aren't sentences. Please clean up,.
 * See above.  Ergo Sum  01:31, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Ndash needed for year range in Curran, Robert Emmett (1993).
 * Fixed.  Ergo Sum  01:34, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The emdash for Curran, Robert Emmett (2010a) and Curran, Robert Emmett (2010b) should really be ndashes. Therapyisgood (talk) 01:05, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Fixed.  Ergo Sum  01:34, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Please note: the table in this list did not meet WP:ACCESS requirements. Specifically: the table should have a caption (e.g. |+ caption), which can be inside of an {{tl|sronly}} template if it would duplicate the section header. I've gone ahead and added it myself, but keep it in mind for future FLC nominations. Promoting. -- Pres N  19:44, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
