Providence Grays all-time roster

 * Nominator(s):  Neonblak talk  -  10:31, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it meets the standards for a FL. The lead seems to be a bit long; one suggestion during the peer review process indicated a "history" section be implemented. How to go about this, and not interrupt the flow, might be better answered here. Neonblak talk  -  10:31, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Support from KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 12:56, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Support – Nice work responding to all of the prose issues; the list looks much better for it. Still not crazy about the linking, but I won't withhold support over it, since it does seem to be accepted here.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 21:09, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Support A little more info on the team's end would be great, but I just dug through my Bill James Historical Abstract and found nothing. Staxringold talkcontribs 17:51, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comments - just a few points:
 * "Providence .... were officially approved on February 6" and "Providence was successful in signing several star players for their inaugural season" - I get very confused by singular/plural usage in US English for sports teams, but it certainly seems like you're using both here to refer to the same thing
 * "White pre-dated both Moses Fleetwood Walker and his brother Welday Walker, whom both played for 1884 Toledo Blue Stockings " - "whom" is not correct here, and shouldn't there be a "the" before 1884?
 * "a season in which they finished at their lowest position in the standings in their history, as well as their worst winning percentage" - I think there should be another word in here, maybe "gained" or "secured", before "their worst winning percentage"
 * Think that's it........ -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:35, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Fixed all three items. Let me know if you see anything else. Neonblak  talk  -  13:14, 5 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - all seems OK now those have been addressed (and I removed on duplicated word) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:59, 5 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment What makes http://www.19cbaseball.com/game-2.html#references a reliable source? Dabomb87 (talk) 22:32, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * In re-reading the content culled from the source, it appears that I using it to reference the 20-game win streak, but it looks like the writer was talking about Radbourn personally having a 20-game win streak instead. So I cross referenced with the teams game log, and it looks like it was only 18.  So instead of playing with fire (OR), I just eliminated the information and the reference.  So, to answer your question, the reference that I used, was not reliable after all. Neonblak  talk  -  23:29, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
