List of teams and cyclists in the 2013 Tour de France

 * Nominator(s): BaldBoris 21:17, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

My nomination of the 2012 list was promoted in September. This list is very similar, apart from the obvious. BaldBoris 21:17, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
 * What is going on with references 13 and 14? The text only says "ASO 2013", and the link doesn't seem to go anywhere... (This was also in the 2012 list, so it could be just me not understanding how to read references...)--EdgeNavidad (Talk · Contribs) 15:29, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
 * It's using the shortened footnote template. If you are not aware what shortened footnotes are, they're an easier way to cite a paged source. In this case it doesn't make much sense because there's only two pages. The reason I haven't added the pages is because it's an extract from a larger book. BaldBoris 17:11, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Aha, that helps. But I think the shortened footnotes are not used properly... In the template page that you linked to, the shortened footnote is "Elk 1972", and the corresponding reference starts with "Elk, Anne (November 16, 1972)", which makes it clear which one is referred to. But in the current FLA, the shortened footnote is "ASO 2013", but the corresponding reference does not even include "ASO" or "2013". (The reference uses the expanded form of "ASO", we should not assume everybody knows what ASO is short for.) A solution could be to put "Amaury Sport Organisation" in the shortened footnote, and include the year 2013 in the long reference, but there might be a better solution.--EdgeNavidad (Talk · Contribs) 08:34, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I understand your confusion, but I'm following the guidelines correctly. See: Template:Sfn. BaldBoris 13:23, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Edit: I've added the appropriate year to the source. BaldBoris 16:13, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * OK! I see that the abbreviation is indeed allowed, so it look good now.--EdgeNavidad (Talk · Contribs) 06:49, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Support. The list has good sources, and it covers all things it should cover.--EdgeNavidad (Talk · Contribs) 06:49, 21 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Support meets the criteria, great work. NapHit (talk) 12:29, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

This looks very good to me. . One outstanding concern: the list of victories in the nationalities table adds up to 20, but you have 21 in the total. This is because of the TTT. Perhaps you could deal with this as in the 2015 Vuelta list? Relentlessly (talk) 10:45, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * NapHit advised me to remove the with (see above), so I'm not sure. Thanks for taking the time give it a look. BaldBoris 18:00, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I think "with DvP as the youngest rider" makes it sound like he was acting in a play! Whatever the wording of that sentence, I'm happy to support. Relentlessly (talk) 18:13, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

A few thoughts:
 * Introduction: Very well written, as someone who is completely unfamiliar with the Tour de France. One thing I found confusing was the significance of the yellow jersey... maybe you could mention that the yellow jersey is the "general classification?"
 * The opening image has no alt text.
 * By starting number: Sorting on the position column is funny. The DNF's are ordered descending by stage, but the HD's are scattered throughout the sort.  Maybe sortkeys will help here?
 * This is the agreed layout per the recent Grand Tour teams and cyclists FLs. The two HDs are both in the correct position.
 * Footer: Footer is a little confusing. What is the reasoning behind having the sources as an H3 under references?
 * There's no strict rules on this. In fact MoS advises this style.

 * Sorted out your first two comments and replied to the others. Thanks. BaldBoris 11:15, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Excellent. In that case, I happily Support (and learned something new!) ~  Matthewrbowker  Drop me a note 17:01, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
