NWA World Middleweight Championship

 * Nominator(s):  MPJ  -DK 09:42, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

I am nominating this list for Featured List because I feel it conforms to the FLC and generally has the review input from previous FLCs I've done worked into it. There are currently three redlinked articles: César Curiel, Gran Cochisse and La Fiera. Since the FLC process usually takes over 2 weeks I am confident that I will turn the links blue before the FLC process is over. The wrestlers who are not linked are wrestles where I have been unable to find much information on the except that they've won this particular championship so it's my judgement that they do not fullfill the Notability criteria and thus do not have to be linked.

As always I am open to any and all comments and will work to produce the best possible list.  MPJ  -DK 09:42, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * All three done before the first review :)  MPJ  -DK 16:46, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Comments:


 * It looks pretty close for me now. Well done on all your work to resolve our comments; it would have been easy to get disheartened!  Harrias  talk 10:05, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I have to admit I had a sinking feeling for a while, thank you so much for all the extremely constructive input, it made the articles 10 times better.  MPJ  -DK 10:16, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Oppose – Too many prose glitches for me at the moment. A few of them are listed below, but I don't guarantee that I got them all. I agree with Harrias that a copy-editor is needed.
 * "The championship was called the 'World Middleweight Championship', created by Salvador Lutteroth". Seems to be missing "and" after the comma.
 * "The title was created at an unknown point before March 29, 1939 and awarded to Gus Kallio." The "awarded to Gus Kallio" part was already covered in a previous sentence.
 * "and changed their name to Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre to in order...". The promotion has both repeated links and repeated initials, neither of which are needed. Also, there's that misplaced word at the end.
 * Hyphen needed for "NWA labelled" and "NWA branded" at various times.
 * Remove comma before "that were all originated in CMLL."
 * "Dragon won the title from Corazon de Leon on November 8, 1994 after which he began promoting the belt in Japan;". Comma after the year. Also, the semi-colon here should just be a comma.
 * Hyphen for "CMLL based" in "the first CMLL based title match since 1994."
 * "In March, 2010...". Move comma to after year.
 * "and the president of sent letters...". Something's missing here.
 * "but was ignored by CMLL. CMLL...". Try to avoid the repetition of the promoter's name here.
 * Comma after "Averno is the current champion".
 * Change the semi-colon before "while the Great Sasuke's single reign..." to a comma.
 * Gus Kallio note: "due to the fact that he already held the World Middleweight Champion in the United States". "Champion" → "Championship". Also, there should probably be a period after this.
 * Anibal note: "Anibal defeated El Cobarde in decision match to win the title." Missing "a" before "decision match"; the other similar notes have one.
 * Reigns by combined length: De-capitalize Of Reigns and Days in the headings.
 * Shouldn't footnotes 3 through 7 begin with capital letters?
 * Reference 3: The em dash for the page range should be a smaller en dash.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 21:35, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll do the various fixes later, I'm just not sure if it'd be worth still having this be a FLC if there are so many problems with the prose that I just seem to miss.  MPJ  -DK 22:21, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I've done all the fixes, I just want people's honest opinion - how much work does it need? If it needs quite a bit of work I'll withdraw it for copyediting.  MPJ  -DK 19:08, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not one to usually doubt myself but right now I get the impression that i presented a bowl of alphabet soup for an article, which is a first for me. I apologize.  MPJ  -DK 19:12, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
 * It's much better than it was; although it sounds slightly stilted now. I will read through it again properly at some stage, but my dinner is ready now!  Harrias  talk  19:31, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
