MLB on NBC
This looks like a featured article to me, but I want to make sure it is before nominating it on WP:FAC. I can't see anything wrong with it. ςפקι Д Иτς ☺ ☻ 17:42, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

I haven't had a chance to read the article carefully yet, but here are a couple of organizational suggestions:
 * Put the list of announcers on its own page. Most of the truly important ones are mentioned in the article text, and the list really clogs up the page as is. If nothing else, it should be moved to the bottom of the page.
 * Ditto for the Nielsen ratings.
 * The "External links" section can be cut down drastically. Actually, I can't find any link in that section that needs to be here. Each World Series has its own article on Wikipedia. 1998 World Series, for instance.
 * In order to be a Featured Article, in-line citations are needed. See Citing sources for how to do this.

I'll read more closely later and see if there's anything I can suggest in terms of the writing. --djrobgordon 03:24, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

 * 1) Can't exactly do this, because the article isn't "mine" per se. I thought that in-line citations were preferable for Featured Articles, not a requirement.


 * Due to the sub-sub-heading "ABC and NBC Alternates Coverage of the All-Star Game, League Championship Series, and World Series: 1976-1989" the table of contents is stretched to an awkward size. Always be considering and re-considering the structure and organization of the article. Try incorporating the "Notes" sub-section into the "The Baseball Network: 1994-1995" section. There are two sections called "1960s", why are "1970s" and "1980s" sub-sections of "1960s"? The "1940s" and "1950s" sections could be merged to an "Early years" section. Consider placing that first paragraph of "1940s" about television's relationship with baseball into the introduction and keep the body of the article on the topic of "MLB on NBC". Were there regularly scheduled games on NBC with a regular format/theme/sportscaster in the 1950s or was it a sporadic hodge-podge? And of course inline citations are required, so the external links within the body should be converted to these inline citations. --maclean 25 17:03, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
