Major League Baseball All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Award

 * Nominator(s): Staxringold talkcontribs 03:50, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Wikiproject Baseball has undertaken the task of raising List of MLB Awards to featured topic status and I picked this little article to fix up. Used NBA All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Award for All-Star Game MVP style/content and Roberto Clemente Award (along with other various baseball award articles) for baseball award style. May be some slight MOS things, but all-in-all I think this list is up to the featured quality we've established. Staxringold talkcontribs 03:50, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Support – My comments have been addressed, and Dabomb has satisfied my concern about the one source.  Giants2008  ( 17–14 ) 20:38, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Support Comment  Great list! I made tweaks all around (list, caption, alt text, formatting, etc.). My only issue is that there is no explanation for the numbers in parentheses. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:05, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Key expanded on that point to match the style of already FL Hank Aaron Award. Staxringold talkcontribs 22:10, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:13, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * NOTE: Just an FYI, I've moved this page and World Series Most Valuable Player Award per naming conventions to not have MVP abbreviated in the title. Just don't want a redirect getting promoted if this passes. :) Changed the lead here. Staxringold talkcontribs 21:53, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, I've fixed everything after the move. Also, is there no description of what the trophy itself looks like? Dabomb87 (talk) 00:45, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Whoops, thanks for that. This is what the award looks like, but I have no source info on the subject. Staxringold talkcontribs 00:53, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * But then it looked like this this past year, it doesn't seem to have a standard shape. Staxringold talkcontribs 00:55, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * That's fine then; I thought it had a distinct appearance as that of the Rawlings Gold Glove Award. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:58, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it seems to always be some kind of crystal thing, but it changes up. I think Ichiro's was a statue with two crossed crystal bats. Staxringold talkcontribs 01:02, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Comments
 * "players from the Cincinnati Reds and San Francisco Giants are tied for the most in the National League with five each" What about Los Angeles Dodgers, their players are listed five times.
 * Fixed, dunno what happened there... Staxringold talkcontribs 22:57, 17 September 2009 (UTC)


 * You have OF in the key, but break it down into RF, LF and CF in the table. Needs consistency one way or other.
 * Fixed. Staxringold talkcontribs 22:57, 17 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Leon Wagner and Maury Wills don't sort correctly.
 * Fixed. Good catch on this and the Dodgers thing, what odd little hiccups. Staxringold talkcontribs 22:57, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Comment - Why do the positions need to be abbreviated? Having the full position name in the table wouldn't make the table too wide, and can also remove that huge whitespace between the key and the images. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  23:51, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Staxringold talkcontribs 00:01, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
 * If it's okay, I'm going to also do this to every other MLB awards list after I have your's and WP:MLB's permission. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  00:15, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Fine with me, that's the only reason I had formatted the table in this and the Rookie award like that, because I'd seen it in other MLB lists. Staxringold talkcontribs 00:23, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
 * To answer the question you asked me on my talk page, I will definitely be starting that at least this week or next week. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  00:36, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
 * NOTE: Mass changing of all lists should not be undertaken. Each of these lists needs to be considered on a case-by-case basis. Having some with linked position abbreviations and some with positions written out does the list quality no harm, but standardizing them may cause harm due to the width of some particular tables. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 11:55, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * How about if I just do this to lists have will have absolutely no affect when written out? --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  19:57, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * It would probably be less stressful to just consider them case-by-case. They all need to be checked on multiple monitor resolutions. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 12:19, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
