List of Tour de France winners
This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because I want to push it for Featured List status. I particularly want suggestions on how the lead reads, any possible changes to the table, and how the images look.

Very nice article, some comments to help it on its way to FL. That's enough from me. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:30, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comments from
 * "It is the longest race in the Union Cycliste Internationale calendar." should be cited.
 * Should there be a comma after Armstrong in his image caption?
 * I'd move ref [2] to the end of the sentence.
 * "Spain and United States have each won ten events, with all of the latter's coming from two riders." reads a little awkwardly for my liking, particularly the second clause. You could name both riders...
 * "race's best climbers" I know what you mean but this could be misconstrued.
 * "..wore its distinctive.." the distinctive rather than its makes more sense to me.
 * "leading young cyclist. It awarded a" - "...cyclist, awarding a..." would improve flow for me.
 * Petit-Breton caption needs full stop as I think it's a full sentence. Same for LeMond. In fact, is LeMond in the Yellow Jersey in that image?  Worth noting if it is the case.
 * Maybe worth mentioning that P-B was the first cyclist to win it more than once?
 * Indurain, Riis and Perreiro image captions need full stops.
 * "Countries that have won in the Tour de France" - odd wording, and what do the colours mean? And does it only include the race winners and not the other jerseys?
 * Force the summary table column widths to be the same so the tables look similar.
 * "King of the mountains" shouldn't that be Mountains?
 * "The USADA has found him guilty of using synthetic testosterone during the race and stipped..."
 * What's USADA?
 * Just "USADA found him guilty", (no has...)
 * stipped - typo.
 * You don't mention the red/combination jerseys here - I only noticed them because of the template at the bottom of the page. I think you either need to say they're not included (and why) or include them for the sake of completeness.  What do you think?


 * Thanks for your input TRM, I think I've done most of it. Just got to find the citation for the UCI length - the UCI site was down yesterday when I changed it. Also got to work out what to do with the other two jerseys. What do you think of the images? At the moment, they just sneak onto the edge of the list in my browser, but with more columns, they won't do. Peanut4 (talk) 22:16, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the images work fine for me at work and on my widescreen Mac at home, but they do get cropped at low(ish) resolutions. I don't know what you can do beyond removing the Youth winner which would be a shame, or losing the images altogether, which would also be a shame.  Perhaps see what others have to say on the matter... The Rambling Man (talk) 06:51, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Looks good, just a few queries That's all good luck with the list NapHit (talk) 19:51, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comments from
 * Some of the images overlap the table on my browser, so I'd advise you to either change the images, or which I think would make more sense you could remove the numbers which represent mulltiple wins and put this info in a table at the bottom of the list.
 * Also you use the primary source a lot for references, is there any chance you could find any other sources apart from the primary one?
 * Why is there a tour column numbering the tours seems a bit pointless to me
