Nominator(s): Struway2 (talk) 09:59, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets the FL criteria. It follows the layout of the Luton Town and the recently promoted Liverpool league record by opponent FLs. Please feel free to pick holes... cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:59, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Does Ref 4's title 'Birmingham City 1892–1893 : Results' fail WP:YEAR -- should it be corrected to 1892–93? Bit niggly yes, but I notice Statto use hyphens to separate years; this ref title uses a dash. So it is a case of mixing two rules instead of complying with one. If this has been answered before and does not apply to references, I do apologise.
  • Ref 6 looks like it was published on August 9, 2007 not 2nd. -- Lemonade51 (talk) 13:33, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support Believe this meets requirements set by the Liverpool, Luton Town and recently passed Manchester United FLC. Nice work. -- Lemonade51 (talk) 20:40, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

  • Seems like "their" or another word is missing from "Birmingham have recorded most league victories against Leicester City".
    • Reworded as "Birmingham have recorded more league victories against Leicester City than against any other club, having beaten them 50 times out of 120 attempts." Struway2 (talk) 07:56, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is a page number possible for reference 1? Giants2008 (Talk) 21:23, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support reluctantly I tried to catch out some of the maths, failed. Prose is good, can find no flaw. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:46, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support Just one query, ref 5 you have another link directly below it, but it's not formatted as a reference. Firstly, does the first ref not render the second one obsolete? Secondly, if it doesn't, why is it not formatted like the other refs? Other than the list is fantastic, great work. NapHit (talk) 11:23, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • It's two sources supporting the same fact, one source from each "side", as it were, Wimbledon Independent Supporters Association and MK Dons FC. See WP:CITEBUNDLE which explains why we might want to lump them together rather than having a string of separately cited sources. Admittedly, two refs on the end of a footnote doesn't clutter up any prose, but I've got into the habit of doing it that way when more than one source verifies the same thing. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:15, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough I was curious as to why it was formatted that way as I've never seen it done before. MOS clarifies this, so no problem. NapHit (talk) 10:42, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Great work. I redid the Wimbledon footnote but apart from that this looks positively fine. —Cliftonian (talk) 06:06, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks for fixing the note. Don't think I could have got it more comprehensively wrong if I'd tried :-) cheers, Struway2 (talk) 07:26, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
