List of awards and nominations received by Gene Roddenberry

Nominator(s): Miyagawa (talk) 20:38, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

The previous nomination of this article closed with two supports some 20 days ago. So I'm renominating it in the hope that it'll gather a greater consensus. Miyagawa (talk) 20:38, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Previous nomination can be seen here: Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of awards and nominations received by Gene Roddenberry/archive1. Miyagawa (talk) 20:40, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Side note: I have my own Featued List nomination Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship, if anyone would like to drop in and give it the once over.

• "Couldn't" should be "could not"
• I am not sure if the details on Ellison taunting them etc. is really relevant for the article. It's about Roddenberry's nominations and awards, not someone else's.
• "Various Rewards" - should that be "awards"?
• NASA should be spelled out.
• Table looks good, sorts well etc.
• Sources look legit to me too.

@Miyagawa: - Overall a good list, very few issues jumped out at me. MPJ-US  02:00, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

@MPJ-DK: Thanks, I've fixed those issues. Miyagawa (talk) 10:41, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

@Miyagawa: - Perfect, Support  MPJ-US  12:38, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

• Comments

• I think everything from "At the 1967 Writer's Guild of America Awards" right up to note 1 should be its own paragraph; it's odd splitting discussion of one element across two paragraphs which each contain other information as well.

• I think I did it because of image placement, but having fixed it as suggested, I don't have the same issue that I once did. So that's sorted now. Miyagawa (talk) 18:51, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

• Not a comment on your work, but isn't Harlan Ellison just a dislikeable bollock or what?

• Roddenberry wasn't exactly an Angel with it either, but just about everyone had a go at re-writing that episode. I'm intending to tackle it prior to the 50th Anniversary in September. Still though, if Ellison had just re-written it to reduce the insane budget requirements then everything would have been fine - but mind you, Roddenberry re-wrote everything during that first season so he would probably still have pissed Ellison off anyway. Miyagawa (talk) 18:51, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

• Well, yeah, but we're talking about a man who's been sitting on other writers' unreleased work for decades just because. There's also a funny story out there about him blowing up at a fan at a convention over some jellybeans too. GRAPPLE ^X 19:02, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

• Use of "Awarded" rather than the standard "won" template is interesting. I will probably steal this somewhere along the line.
• A few of the awards listed in the table have articles but aren't linked; this seems strange given that some are linked and others not.

• I think I've added the missing ones. Not sure how I missed those ones. Miyagawa (talk) 18:51, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

• Sources seem good, tables seem accessible and images are free and suitably alt-texted.
• The size and placement of the military medals table makes it initially look like it might be a key rather than its own table; I'm wondering if it might not be a bad idea to draw some focus to it by adding images of the relevant ribbons for these medals as an illustration to the right-hand side. It wouldn't take up much space but it'd be eye-catching enough to show the table is actually its own thing.

• I think that is a really good idea. I've added it now, and I think it looks really good. Miyagawa (talk) 18:51, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

• All in all this is concise but well done, and I'm leaning towards supporting once you've responded. GRAPPLE ^X 15:02, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

• Thanks for reviewing. Miyagawa (talk) 18:51, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

• Looks good to me. Support. GRAPPLE ^X 19:02, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Comments by PresN

Recusing myself as a delegate to review this list:

• "he was a pilot in the 394th Bomb Squadron, 5th Bombardment Group, of the Thirteenth Air Force, during World War II." - the commas are throwing me here. Maybe "he was a pilot in the 394th Bomb Squadron, 5th Bombardment Group of the Thirteenth Air Force during World War II."
• "While working in the Los Angeles Police Department, he began his television writing career" -> "While working in the Los Angeles Police Department after the war, he began his television writing career"; you need a transition
• "So, instead Roddenberry re-wrote the script for the episode, but Ellison" -> "Instead, Roddenberry re-wrote the script for the episode, but Ellison"
• Sorting the table by result gives you awarded-nominated-won, which looks odd to me since both awarded and won are colored green, but I'm not sure that it's actually wrong, per se.
• If you found this review helpful, consider optionally reviewing my World Fantasy Convention Award FLC up above. --PresN 21:53, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

• Thanks, I've made those fixes. I did try to force a sort in the result column but it broke the award/nominated/won templates. I could change it to a different color or shade of green if you think it'd be appropriate for Awarded. Miyagawa (talk) 23:03, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

• Support --PresN 19:24, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Comments by Colonel Wilhelm Klink

This list is indeed very well written, but I do have two concerns:

• The final sentence of the lead paragraph is a bit of a run-on:

"Following Roddenberry's death in 1991, he was posthumously awarded the Robert A. Heinlein Memorial Award by the National Space Society and the The George Pal Memorial Award at the Saturn Awards as well as the Exceptional Public Service Medal by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)."

In my opinion, it should be split into two sentences:

"Following Roddenberry's death in 1991, he was posthumously awarded the Robert A. Heinlein Memorial Award by the National Space Society and the George Pal Memorial Award at the Saturn Awards. He was also awarded with the Exceptional Public Service Medal by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)."

You may wish to use different wording, but you get the idea.

• A symbol, (such as "†") denoting that an award was given posthumously could be added to the awards chart at the bottom. In general, such a cross is used to denote that a person is deceased, but another symbol may be more appropriate.

Other than this, everything seems to be in order; I see no reason why this list shouldn't gain featured status. Good work, and best of luck. Colonel Wilhelm Klink (Complaints|Mistakes) 22:22, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for taking a look - I've split that sentence into two and added the symbol along with a key. Miyagawa (talk) 22:58, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond: support. Colonel Wilhelm Klink (Complaints|Mistakes) 22:22, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Just a brief glance at this nomination, and it appears as though there wasn't a proper source review yet, so I decided to take that upon myself. I checked all the online sources (simply because I don't have access to the books), and they all checked out fine, although in ref 33, it mentions that he won the The George Pal Memorial Award, but it never specifically stated what year it was awarded. I doubt that'll become a problem, so I'm going to give a Support for the source review. Cheers. Famous Hobo (talk) 21:42, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

List of songs recorded by Little Mix

Nominator(s):  — Calvin999 12:19, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because... I think it meets criteria. Based on many FL's of the same structure. Little Mix have released three albums with a lot of material.  — Calvin999 12:19, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Resolved comments from SNUGGUMS

"The" should be added to "British girl group Little Mix have recorded songs" per UK English standards "their winners single" is missing an apostrophe "however it was noted for its sexualised tone"..... I feel "though" would be a better word than "however" in this instance "performed by Drake; Drake, along with the songs other composers Noah "40" Shebib, Majid Al Maskati, Jordan Ullman and Anthony Jeffries, received songwriting credits as a result"..... it seems repetitive to use the word "Drake" twice consecutively For File:Missy Elliot.jpg, I'd add an "is" after "Missy Elliot" in the caption Overall, a very good list. Snuggums (talk / edits) 17:54, 17 January 2016 (UTC) Thank you. I've corrected all points.  — Calvin999 17:56, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

I can now gladly support. Well done. Snuggums (talk / edits) 18:01, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you.  — Calvin999 18:01, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Resolved comments from Frankie talk

Comments by FrB.TG The lead is rather long for a band with only three albums. I would wonder what happens if they release further materials. To shorten it, you could probably remove reviews and quotes from the lead. And I think you don't need to go into very much detail of describing their work. Can cross that bridge when or if they release another album. When, because they've only just released their third and a fourth might be two or three years off from now. If, because they've been together nearly 5 years, and bands have short shelf-lives. I only refer to a couple of songs from each album as it is anyway, so it's not hugely detailed on purpose.  — Calvin999 "described by Digital Spy writer Lewis Corner as setting up their new urban creative direction "nicely."" – how is this quote helpful? Because they had said that their second album would be more R&B-inspired, and that "Move" proved to be taking them into that direction successfully.  — Calvin999 ""A.D.I.D.A.S." is an acronym for "All Day I Dream About Sex" and alludes" – you could probably start the sentence with something like "its track" so that readers know that it is a track from the album. Yes, done.  — Calvin999 ""A.D.I.D.A.S." contains a elements of "Hold On, We're Going Home" by Drake" Added.  — Calvin999 Just a personal opinion: could you expand the size of the image (as they can not be seen properly) or change it, if the former is not possible. I don't think I can increase the size.  — Calvin999 "Originating album" should just say "Album". There is no track beginning with letters, such as "F", "J" and "K" so I think you should probably remove these letters from the table of content. Removed.  — Calvin999 The reference column does not need to be sortable. Changed.  — Calvin999 Please maintain consistency with linking the publishers of references: either link them on their first occurrences or link them everywhere. Yes.  — Calvin999 Nice work overall. -- Frankie talk 15:29, 21 January 2016 (UTC) Thank you.  — Calvin999 16:18, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

• Support – nice work lad. -- Frankie _talk 18:00, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
  • Thank you.  — Calvin999 19:44, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Comments

• becoming the first group to do so
• had originally entered
• "but were put together to make a quartet..." I think this could be worded better, something like but were placed together in a quartet
• I don't think we need to know that their first single had a "gothic feel" to it. Seems superflous to me
  • I'm describing the track, so the style is linked to the lyrical content.  — Calvin999 12:37, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
• Commas after member and Roberts
• You don't need to use had before words like originally and previously, the past tense is implied by these words
• My biggest concern is that the lead is too long. As the group are still active and likely to record new material, how are you going to work this in? Four paragraphs for a group that has released three albums and only been active since 2011 is a bit excessive. I would trim it down to what's necessary
  • I've had this comment above I think. Yes they might release another album, but when? It could be in 2 years time. I don't think we should be focusing on what hasn't even happened and it shouldn't be a factor that influences this nomination, as it's raising an issue which isn't even issue and doesn't exist. If and when they release another album, then something can be done then. As it stands, I only talk about a couple of songs from each album anyway, so I think it is quite short.  — Calvin999 12:37, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
• The table shouldn't change when sorting it by song initially. Currently, A.D.I.D.A.S. moves down the table, when it should stay at the top
  • It sorts as Adidas, without full stops. Unless you think it short sort as A.D ?  — Calvin999 12:37, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
• ref 6, there's no need to archive it as the original link still works, especially when the archive one doesn't load.
  • What happens when the link becomes dead and I can't use the source anymore to archive it?  — Calvin999 12:37, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
• ref 7, should be an en dash
• ref 14, it's The Daily Telegraph not The Telegraph
• ref 17, needs an en dash, as does ref 19, Independent is spelt wrong as well in that ref

NapHit (talk) 10:42, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

• • Addressed all. Thank you.  — Calvin999 12:37, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Comments by Famous Hobo

Overall, looks very good. I was also concerned about the length at first, but since they just released a new album, I doubt they'll be doing anything for a while. The length is fine for now. I made two edits to the article, which I originally had written down as issues that needed to be fixed, but when you look at the actual edit, they're very small (one word was missing an apostrophe, while The Daily Telegraph in ref 14 wasn't fixed earlier). Anyway, I support, nice list as always. Famous Hobo (talk) 04:21, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

• Thank you.  — Calvin999 08:16, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Source check

• You do no need to cite sources for the release dates of their albums in the lead.
• You're kind of spotty as to when you're adding the publisher of publisher in refs; you have done it only in one ref (6, Hearst Corporation). It's not a big deal, but you should be consistent.
• Consider archiving the online references you haven't already so that linkrot doesn't mess up your references, thereby unciting content or causing you extra work later on. -- Frankie _talk 19:01, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
  • Thanks. I don't know how to archive URLs, can you link it to me please FrB.TG?  — Calvin999 09:36, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

You do not need to archive them. It's just a suggestion. Here is how you archive a source: visit [3] and enter the link you wish to archive them. You can either archive with the existing ones (if they exist) or create one yourself. Anyway, source check passed. -- Frankie _talk 14:16, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Full disclosure: I am a WIki Cup participant and I also have a Feature Article (CMLL World Heavyweight Championship) and Feature List (Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship) candidates in need of input. Not that it's a factor in my review but it would be appreciated

Lead

• "Latin inspired" = "Latin-inspired"
• "its composition, while lyrically" - I don't think you need the comma?

Sorts correctly, formatted well, no problems there

I only have a few nitpicky comments overall it's a really good list.  MPJ-US  11:44, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Delegate comment: Calvin999, are you planning to come back to this? MPJ-DK's comments have been sitting for a while, and they're about the only thing holding up this nomination.

List of Ranji Trophy triple centuries

Nominator(s): Bharatiya29 12:22, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I think it meets the criteria. Bharatiya29 12:22, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Resolved comments from Yashthepunisher (talk) 11:38, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Comments from Yashthepunisher Why not be gender neutral in the opening sentence. I'd suggest replacing "he" with "person" and "batsman" with something else, as women's cricket is in existence.  Done Delink "India" in the lead, per WP:OVERLINK.  Done Some stadium and places are linked twice in the "Triple centuries and above" table. As per WP:DUPLINK, duplicate linking is allowed in tables. Bharatiya29 07:13, 5 February 2016 (UTC) You don't need to mention "website=www.xyz.com" in ref's, only publisher will suffice.  Done Is it necessary to split "References" into two: General and Specific? I'd suggest move "General into "Further reading" or merge it.  Done That's it from me. Yashthepunisher (talk) 11:29, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Resolved comments from —Vensatry (Talk) 06:08, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

Comments batter -> batsman/player as the former is informal. he/she is generally frowned upon in our articles. 'It is regarded as one of the "toughest endeavours for a batsman' - by whom? Now, this is unsourced. —Vensatry (Talk) 12:43, 14 February 2016 (UTC)  Done Sorry I forgot to remove it. Bharatiya29 14:25, 14 February 2016 (UTC) The first Triple century in the Ranji Trophy was achieved -> scored. 'It is the quickest triple century' - in terms of time/balls faced? The quickest claim isn't verified by the sources. 'Four batsmen have scored 290–299 runs in an innings, and one of them was not out' - The usage of en dash is wrong here. Secondly, it's two players. In the alt text: "Ravindra Jadeja, who is seen wearing a yellow jersey and carrying his batting pads, is the only batsman to score three triple centuries in the Ranji Trophy", it's better if you just mention his name. The guideline suggests we should avoid repeating the details as in the caption. Some facts in the lead need "As of ..." Why don't we have a S.No column in the table? Secondary sort needed for the 'Score' column. Against which col? —Vensatry (Talk) 15:23, 14 February 2016 (UTC) Against balls. And in case balls are not known then minutes are taken into consideration. Bharatiya29 18:17, 14 February 2016 (UTC) Check for 312. —Vensatry (Talk) 07:10, 15 February 2016 (UTC) I seems fine. Sunny Singh scored 312 in 333 balls whereas Raman Lamba scored 312 runs in 392 balls. So Singh's score is treated as more than from that of Lamba. Bharatiya29 14:49, 15 February 2016 (UTC) No, it doesn't. —Vensatry (Talk) 10:02, 16 February 2016 (UTC) Its working for me. Can you please elaborate on the problem you noticed? Bharatiya29 15:55, 16 February 2016 (UTC) Check again - 333 (392) is sorted first (in both orders). —Vensatry (Talk) 17:01, 17 February 2016 (UTC)  Done Bharatiya29 00:38, 18 February 2016 (UTC) OneIndia and cricketcounty.com aren't RS. What makes ScoopWhoop one? —Vensatry (Talk) 12:43, 14 February 2016 (UTC)  Done I think ScoopWhoop is fine, but still replaced it with a Zee News article. Bharatiya29 14:25, 14 February 2016 (UTC) Link the first occurrence of CricketArchive in refs. Consider linking 'balls' in the key. The 'Notes' section is unsourced. —Vensatry (Talk) 10:14, 11 February 2016 (UTC)  Done Bharatiya29 16:20, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

• Support - Good work! —Vensatry _(Talk) 06:08, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

So full disclosure, I have my own FLC candidate (Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship) and I figured the best way to gain some input on that is to give some myself.

• Lead - I don't have any real comments on the lead, the prose looks good to me, my challenges were cricket terms but it's a cricket article so I used the links to get an idea of what they meant.
• Table

• Under the column BF the "-" sorts as the lowest number, but in 4s it sorts as the highest? Same with 6s? is there a reason this is not consistent across the table?

• Sources

• I take it "CricketArchive", based on what I read on their wikipedia article is considered an "industry expert" or whatever the term is for Reliable sources?
• Looks reliable and check out on the "External links" tool.

• Other than the sorting being incosistent I would say this article has all the hallmarks of a a Featured Article. MPJ-US  13:05, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

• To be honest, I have no idea how unknown stats should be sorted. I have started a thread on WikiProject Cricket to get a better idea. Bharatiya29 16:12, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

• That is a good idea, personally I have no preference for one or the other as long as it's the same across the table. MPJ-US  16:17, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

• I have made some changes to the sorting order. I think consistent sorting will not work here, because there is a substantial difference between "balls faced" and "number of 4s". An innibgs with lesser balls faced and more 4s and 6s is considered to be better. As per the advice on the WP Cricket talk page, I have taken unknown stats as "worst", so I have sort them as 999 in BF column, and as -1 in the 6s and 4s columns. Bharatiya29 14:00, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

• Okay I am good with that way to sort since that's the Cricket project's suggestion on how to sort. Support  MPJ-US  23:14, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

• Question: Besides the one article from The Hindu, the topic of "Ranji Trophy triple centuries" doesn't seem to have been discussed or covered in any notable secondary/tertiary sources. All other references are merely proving that a certain triple century was made, that too based on a website that stacks all Cricket stats. In that case, how is this topic even notable? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 06:05, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

• As long as the subject(s) (Ranji trophy and triple century) is/are notable, there shouldn't be any problem (with respect to notability) with these lists. As a matter of fact, you won't be able to find significant secondary/tertiary coverage of filmographies, discographies, awards list, et al. —Vensatry _(Talk) 08:01, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Do you mean as long as "Ranji trophy" and "triple century" are independently notable topics, their intersection is also notable? Film-lists are totally a different genre or unencyclopaedic stuff and I am not directly comparing this list with them. The traditional printed encyclopaedias used to incorporate only "notable films" in biographies. Even WP did that earlier. Over time enthusiastic editors increased and taking advantage of expandable online feature, filmographies started including each and every film. Maybe all films of a particular actor are notable; but that does not happen with all. Take for example Dara Singh who has been in many B-grade films and I don't think those all should be enlisted. Similarly, we also try to keep only notable awards in awards-lists. Enthusiastics are always gonna increase for whatever reason. But that should not make non-notable un-educational stuff encyclopaedic. Should a "List of Tweets by Lady Gaga" be allowed because she is notable, twitter is notable and in addition various gossip columns also discuss her tweets? Sporting records, award lists, are almost on verge of NOTSTATISTICS and hence I feel it's better to see if the complete topic in itself is notable. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 08:43, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Not always. Scoring a century is an 'achievement'. A celebrity (or anybody for that matter) tweeting a 'tweet' is not. Twitter (as a topic) is notable. It's for the very reason we have articles like List of international cricket centuries by Sachin Tendulkar, List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Muttiah Muralitharan, and not List of international cricket fours hit by Sachin Tendulkar, List of international cricket wickets taken by Muttiah Muralitharan. The best (or 'notable') century made by Tendulkar (or best fifer by Muralitharan) is subjective. They hardly matter because all centuries/fifers are considered an 'achievement' in the sport (regardless of who made it or how effective it is). On a related note, you won't be able to find much independent coverage on the centuries and fifers list of other players. —Vensatry _(Talk) 09:18, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Frankly, it's irrelevant for FLC. If you don't think the list is notable, then file an AfD and see what happens. Otherwise, and similarly, if you think it should be merged into another article, there is a process for that. But none of those processes happen here. Harrias ^talk 17:24, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Source review - Passed

• Spotchecks: checked refs 4, 12, 22, 35, 37 - all clean
• Formatting: I dislike the "link the first time" style for references, but whatever. Also- in ref 11 you have "The Times of India (Lucknow)", but in 35 "The Times of India (New Delhi)" - pretty sure the location field is meant for where the newspaper is located, not where the actual news report was filed from. It should be dropped from both refs, as per {{Cite news}}: "place: Geographical place of publication; generally not wikilinked; omit when the name of the work includes the location; examples: The Boston Globe, The Times of India.

UCI Road World Championships – Men's time trial

Nominator(s): NapHit (talk) 12:49, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because after extensive work, I believe this list is now worthy to face the scrutiny of the community. I currently have a list up, but is has multiple supports and no outstanding comments. NapHit (talk) 12:49, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

Resolved comments from Relentlessly (talk) 12:44, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Comments from Relentlessly Nice to see this nominated. This looks good but there are some things I'd like to see rectified: I think you need to make a bigger deal of the rainbow jersey in the "History" section. It would be nice to have a photo of it – maybe File:Bert Grabsch 4JDD 2009.jpg or File:B Wiggins PN2015.png? Two misspelt riders: Jan Ullrich and Melcior Mauri. I don't see why you have plainrowheaders in the first table. It looks better to me without. It's to prevent the links to the years being in bold, which is against MOS:BOLD. NapHit (talk) 22:09, 18 January 2016 (UTC) I can't see what you're referring to in that guideline, but I'm not overly bothered by it in any case. Relentlessly (talk) 22:59, 18 January 2016 (UTC) I suggest you use {{nowrap}} on the times. I think the key could be more elegantly presented, without self-referencing links. There are also no occasions where "points" is relevant. I'm not really sure how to approach this, any suggestions? NapHit (talk) 22:09, 18 January 2016 (UTC) I've added a table: edit or remove it as you prefer. I don't personally see the need to explain where the links go; to me it seems implicit and I've never seen such an explanation on other WP tables. (Open to correction!) Relentlessly (talk) 22:59, 18 January 2016 (UTC) With the "most successful" tables, I suggest you need to make the cyclist and the nation respectively the row header, rather than the position. You have a hyphen in the first sentence where you need an endash. I'm not sure about the phrasing of the first sentence. It feels a bit clumsy. Perhaps "The men's individual time trial at the UCI Road World Championships is organised by the world governing body of cycling, the Union Cycliste Internationale as the annual world championship for the road bicycle racing discipline of time trialling." "usually flat or rolling terrain" would be better as "usually over flat or rolling terrain". Bit reluctant to change as over is already in the sentence, close repetition would make it read uneasily I feel. NapHit (talk) 22:09, 18 January 2016 (UTC) How about "on a course that is usually over flat or rolling terrain"? Done. NapHit (talk) 23:28, 18 January 2016 (UTC) "Fabian Cancellara has won the time trial the most" would be better as "Fabian Cancellara has won the time trial most times". You use "fellow countryman" as a false title repeatedly. On each occasion, I think it would be better as "his fellow countryman". You also do this with nationalities (e.g. "German Bert Grabsch"). This isn't terribly elegant: "the German Bert Grabsch" would be better. "Millar was won the rainbow jersey in 2003, however, he was stripped of his title a year later after being found guilty of doping." This needs to be either "2003, but" or "2003; however,". "Rogers' run came to an the end the following year," This should be a colon rather than a comma. "He would retain the rainbow jersey in 2012, however, the margin of victory" – again a semicolon before "however" would be better. "Martin did not win the event for the fourth time in 2014, as he was twenty-six seconds adrift of winner Wiggins in second place." I feel like the emphasis is odd in this sentence, as it gives more prominence to the man in second to the winner. I suggest "Martin did not win the event for the fourth time in 2014: Bradley Wiggins achieved his first victory, with Martin twenty-six seconds adrift." "In his place" I suggest "In his absence". I hope this all makes sense! Relentlessly (talk) 14:15, 18 January 2016 (UTC) Thank you very much for the swift and thorough comments @Relentlessly:, greatly appreciated. All comments should have been addressed or responded to. Cheers. NapHit (talk) 22:09, 18 January 2016 (UTC) One other thing that I've corrected: you had Rogers's on one occasion and Rogers' on another. I've made it consistent per the guideline. Relentlessly (talk) 22:59, 18 January 2016 (UTC) Thanks @Relentlessly:, table is fine and fixed that terrain issue. Cheers. NapHit (talk) 23:28, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

Resolved comments from Parutakupiu (talk) 11:32, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Comments from Parutakupiu As it is, the opening sentence does not follow WP:BOLDTITLE. The infobox title has "Men's Time Trial", unlike the article title. All events have been held in September–October, so maybe you can specify that in the infobox date parameter? Particularly, because the WCs are not the last event of the cycling season. In the discipline parameter: "time trial" → "Time trial" Add the governing body's acronym after its spelled-out name, followed by a comma: "... Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), as the..." Rephrasing suggestion: "Established in 1994, the event is part of the annual UCI Road World Championships, and consists of an individual time trial covering a distance of approximately 45 kilometres (28 mi)." Perhaps "forthcoming season" is more adequate than "forthcoming year". "Vuelta a Espana" → España "Jerome Coppel" → Jérôme Coppel In the winners table: "Jan Ulrich" → Ullrich. USA → United States Sometimes you use numerals for time periods and sometimes you use spelled-out words. Stick with one form. Take care with letter case in table captions, as sometimes you have uppercased letters in common nouns. In the medals per rider/nation sections, it would be better to state that riders/countries are ranked by 1) gold, 2) silver, and 3) bronze medals. In the footnote: "David Millar was the winner in 2003..." and "erythropoietin" (lowercase). The last section should be named only "References" (there is already "Footnotes") and should be presented with {{reflist|30em}} (column number is deprecated). I might do some further prose checking later on, but I'll leave this for now. Parutakupiu (talk) 19:34, 20 January 2016 (UTC) Thanks for the comments @Parutakupiu:, should have all been addressed. Cheers NapHit (talk) 10:55, 21 January 2016 (UTC) Nice job. I copyedited the prose in the lead and history sections. Please check my changes and feel free to revert those you do not agree with. Parutakupiu (talk) 23:50, 21 January 2016 (UTC) Made one minor change, other than that I'm happy @Parutakupiu:, thank you very much. NapHit (talk) 23:58, 21 January 2016 (UTC) One last thing: uniformise the references from UCI, as some show the publisher as "Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI)" and others only have "UCI". I would either use always the full name, or use the full name + acronym in the first instance, and them use only acronym in remaining instances.

Comments by PresN

Recusing myself as a delegate to review this list:

• Germany's Jan Ullrich won the event in 1999, beating Swedish rider Michael Andersson by fourteen seconds, around the 50.8 kilometres (31.6 mi) course in Treviso. -> Germany's Jan Ullrich won the event in 1999, beating Swedish rider Michael Andersson by fourteen seconds around the 50.8 kilometres (31.6 mi) course in Treviso.
• "edging Rich by a minute and twelve seconds" - edging is an odd word choice, given that that was the largest winning margin to date; would fit better for the 3-second win in 1997
• Why do you stop listing the winning margin for the 2007-2010 races, and then again for the 2013-2015 races? I don't feel that you need to list them all, but it feel strange to do it for 1994-2006 and then stop.
• "He would retain the rainbow jersey the following year;" - sudden tense shift, this is surrounded by past tense
• The third margin column is sorting the 1995 2:03 margin behind the 2009 2:30
• The table has the 2003 silver margin as 0 seconds... either a mistake or you should mention it in the prose

They were split by less than a second! I have added a note to clarify this. NapHit (talk) 21:46, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Source Review and Comments by Colonel Wilhelm Klink

I've reviewed all of the sources for this article (as it appears there has been no source check thus far), and everything looks good. Every source is functioning, and they all cite reliable third-party sources; this list meets the citation criteria. As for overall quality, I couldn't find any major issues, but I did find some minor issues, mostly in terms of grammar or punctuation. I managed to fix them myself despite my terminal laziness; if you want to review my edits, just pull up the page history as you wish, and notify me if I managed to throw the article into disarray (as has been known to happen with my editing). I support promotion to FL status; this list is indeed an example of Wikipedia's best. Good work, good luck, and farewell. Colonel Wilhelm Klink (Complaints|Mistakes) 00:30, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Ethel Barrymore on stage, screen and radio

Nominator(s): SchroCat (talk) 11:31, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Ethel Barrymore was a superlative actress whose career ran between 1893 and 1957. She was one of the finest stage actresses of her time, although her career—like those of her siblings Lionel and John—suffered from periods of dalliances with drink and drugs. This list has been separated from the main Barrymore article, as it was out of place there and not a full reflection of her work. This is the third history of the siblings, following successful FLCs for John's career and that of Lionel. Cheers – SchroCat (talk) 11:31, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

• This new history is long overdue and complements the two listed above. It is well and clearly written and thoroughly referenced and sourced. It needs to be on featured lists. Jack1956 (talk) 22:12, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

• Many thanks Jack - much appreciated. - SchroCat (talk) 17:13, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Support Not much to say from me.

• Is the title of the final citation correct? "WOOB"?

• LOL - yes! I did check, and I'm still unsure of what or why, but that is what is there!

• She was forced onto the stage for financial reasons, but did she always want to be a pianist really? Did she eventually enjoy being an actress? If so, at what point?

• She may have done, but it's not really clear from the sources. I'll have another look to see if anything else comes up. (Incidently, this was exactly the same as John and Lionel Barrymore: none of them actually wanted to be actors, and all tried to escape from it at some point). - SchroCat (talk) 17:13, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

• There might be some merit in the caption of the lead image providing some more context. It's also taken from Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines, presumably?

• Good point: I'll address that now. - SchroCat (talk) 17:13, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Comments from Cassianto

• "She was the middle child of actors Maurice Barrymore and Georgie Drew Barrymore, and her two siblings were Lionel and John. These and other family members were part of an acting dynasty." -- not sure about the conjunction here, or the sentence on the whole. It would work better, I think, with the introducer coming first; "Barrymore came from a notable family of actors; she was the middle child of actors Maurice Barrymore and Georgie Drew Barrymore, and the sister of two brothers, Lionel and John.." possibly?
• "Her first Broadway role, alongside her uncle John Drew, Jr.," -- Ethel or Louisa?
• "Barrymore was quickly popular..." -- Not sure about the adverb here. It would be more impactive without it, in my opinion. Or even: "Barrymore became popular quickly with..." should you wish to keep it there.

• I've gone with "Barrymore was soon popular with English...": I hope that suits? - SchroCat (talk) 08:49, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

• "On her return to America in 1898..." -- New para, new noun.

Apart from all that, it's the usual good list I've come to expect. Support (btw). Cassianto^Talk 23:19, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Resolved comments from SNUGGUMS

I don't think you need "circa" for the caption in File:Ethel Barrymore by Burr McIntosh, 1901.jpg when "1901" is part of its title Yep, done - SchroCat (talk) 08:32, 1 February 2016 (UTC) Not sure if File:Lionel, Ethel, and John Barrymore cph.3b04450.jpg is particularly beneficial. Either way, "brothers" is more specific and can be used instead of "siblings". I'd prefer to retain the image if possible: it's the only one showing all three of them together. Part of her repute comes from her family, and I think it is important we show this. - SchroCat (talk) 08:32, 1 February 2016 (UTC) Is it known where File:Ethel Barrymore LOC.jpg is from? If so, I would include that in its caption to show this pic benefits the article. Not that I can see. It is from the LoC, but there is no further information there, aside from the fact it was a news source, which adds nothing of note. - SchroCat (talk) 08:32, 1 February 2016 (UTC) What benefit does File:EthelBarrymore1896.jpg provide? I think it's a good example of how she looked without costume or the plumage of hats. Its also a very good example of her signature. There is the aesthetic point too, of breaking up tables with images, which I try and do where possble. - SchroCat (talk) 08:32, 1 February 2016 (UTC) The detail on her family background, pianist aspirations, and "romantic suitors" is better for her main bio than here I think it should be in both - particularly her early career aspirations (none of the three siblings wanted to be actors, but they became the best known of their generation). We can just focus on summarising the lists, but without some background colour and context to the individual, the information becomes a simple dry list, detatched from the subject herself. - SchroCat (talk) 08:32, 1 February 2016 (UTC) At the very least, Churchill and Irving don't really belong here; it's not like they were involved in her work or anything from what I can tell Snuggums (talk / edits) 13:01, 1 February 2016 (UTC) Her involvement with Irving led to her working with his father, Henry Irving, so that is a pertinent link. Let me add a line or two later about the link and we can see if it's to much, or whether it would sit happily. Cheers – SchroCat (talk) 13:09, 1 February 2016 (UTC) Fair enough. I'll wait for the connection. Snuggums (talk / edits) 15:42, 1 February 2016 (UTC) I've added a line on the roles. If you think it's a bit too much in what is, after all a summary, we ca take it and the suitors info out - I'm not overly married to it either way. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 08:48, 2 February 2016 (UTC) "especial" in "received especial praise" reads awkwardly Now replaced - should be better, but let me know if you think otherwise. - SchroCat (talk) 08:32, 1 February 2016 (UTC) "She received subsequent Oscar nominations"..... I'd note that these were for Best Supporting Actress based on the tables Now added - SchroCat (talk) 08:32, 1 February 2016 (UTC) That's all from me. I also checked all the images and found no copyright issues. Snuggums (talk / edits) 04:16, 1 February 2016 (UTC) SNUGGUMS, Many thanks for your most welcome comments, which I hope I've addressed satisfactorily.

• Many thanks SNUGGUMS. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 14:50, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Support – a few drafting points you may like to consider; they are too minor to affect my support:

• The false title in the lead is an unnecessary injury to the prose (banned by The New York Times, so by no means de rigueur in American usage).
• Irving offered her roles in The Bells and Peter the Great – I read this as meaning they were offered but not accepted, until I read the main table. Perhaps "cast her in The Bells…"?
• Did they really spell "déclassée" without the accents? I see the film of that play got the accents right.
• Stage appearances table: to my eye the en dashes for the first four productions and a few below indicates that they are still running, which I don't suppose is the case. If they indicate that we don't know when they closed would a "– ?" be clearer? Merely a thought.
• Full stops: Mrs. Chesney gets one but Mrs Tanqueray doesn't. Mesdames Warren, Morley, Willey, Riordan, Pennicott and Grey are also full-stopped, so perhaps Mrs Tanqueray ought to follow suit, à l'américaine.
• Theatres outside New York: is it your policy not to name them even if known? Fair enough, if so, but if not you could, if you wished, name the Adelphi for Secret Service, the Lyceum for Peter the Great in 1898 and Wyndham's for Cynthia in 1904, according to Times archives.

That's my lot. Happy to support this excellently clear and comprehensive FL candidate. Meets all the criteria, in my view. – Tim riley talk 10:34, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

List of Local Nature Reserves in Bedfordshire

Nominator(s): Dudley Miles (talk) 15:00, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

This list follows the format of List of Local Nature Reserves in Hertfordshire, which recently passed FLC, and I hope it will also be found to be of FL quality, Dudley Miles (talk) 15:00, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Review by PresN

Recusing myself in order to review this list.

• "As of January 2016 there are twenty Local Nature Reserves in Bedfordshire, eight in Bedford, eleven in Central Bedfordshire and one in Luton" - the 8/11/1 are the breakdown of the 20, so the comma after Bedfordshire should be a colon.

• Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:29, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

• Cooper's Hill - "This Site of Special Scientific Interest has the best remaining area in the county of heathland" - best? What determines best?

• Now cited as the view of Natural England. Dudley Miles (talk)

• Why is it "Galley and Warden Hills SSSI", not just "Galley and Warden Hills"? It's the only SSSI to get that callout in the name

• This is how it is shown by Natural England. All names are as in the NE listing.

• Henlow Common - "Plants include marsh marigolds and there are kingfishers and the river bank has otters and water voles." - and...and...

• Revised. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:29, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

• Marston Thrift - "Like Kings Wood and Glebe Meadows, this is a Site of Special Scientific Interest which ash and maple woodland on heavy clay." - which "has"?

• Fixed. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:29, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

• Should Park Wood, Bedford just be Park Wood, since the disambiguator isn't needed in a Bedfordshire list?

• As Galley and Warden Hills SSSI above. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:29, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

• Putnoe Wood - "Bird species include wood pigeons, blue tits and great tits" - seems consistent to link those three species, since you link other relatively common animals

• Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:29, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

• I fixed a citation error that I'm not sure is usually directly visible to editors- line break inside of a citation title

• Thanks. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:29, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

• Pretty darn solid overall, some quick fixes and I'll support. If you found this review helpful, consider optionally reviewing my World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement FLC down below. --PresN 21:56, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Resolved comments from —Vensatry (Talk)

Comments Debold 'Bedfordshire' (as this isn't the parent article), but wikilink it. Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 15:21, 6 March 2016 (UTC) Some PDF refs. need page nos. Ref 5 has no page numbers. Pages added for ref 7 (and first sentence of para amended and ref added). Are there any others? Dudley Miles (talk) "population estimated in 2015 at 630,000, with an increase of 10% over the previous ten years." The source says 640,000 and 11%. Updated. Dudley Miles (talk) 15:21, 6 March 2016 (UTC) " It is mainly rural, but still the fourteenth most densely populated county of England, with over half the population living in the two largest built-up areas, Luton and Bedford." I'm not sure about the urban/rural classification of places in England, but when you say more than 50 percent of the population lives in Luton and Bedford (both urban centres), how can you imply that the county is mainly rural? I am not clear about your point here. Most of the area of the county is rural, but there are two small areas (relative to the size of the county) which have most of the population, so geographically the county is mainly rural. Dudley Miles (talk) 15:21, 6 March 2016 (UTC) Yeah, that's why I wasn't very sure. In India, the urban/rural classification is done based on population. Not a big deal anyway, but perhaps could you clarify this? —Vensatry (Talk) 15:55, 6 March 2016 (UTC) How about if I add "Geographically," at the beginning of the sentence? Dudley Miles (talk) 17:07, 6 March 2016 (UTC) Your wish. You can also use a foot note. —Vensatry (Talk) 19:05, 6 March 2016 (UTC) Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 19:35, 6 March 2016 (UTC) As of January 2016 - Date needs to be updated. Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 15:21, 6 March 2016 (UTC) How about adding the 'Unitary authorities' in the location column? I am doubtful. The article has seven columns, which my mobile phone can just cope with. Eight columns might be too much for small screens. Dudley Miles (talk) 15:21, 6 March 2016 (UTC) No need to have a separate column - add it in the same column. Don't worry about column width. See this one. —Vensatry (Talk) 15:55, 6 March 2016 (UTC) I have checked and my phone does cope with an extra column, even though it only shows the first 6 columns on the cricket ground list you pointed to. As a separate column will allow sorting on the borough, I have added it. Dudley Miles (talk) 17:07, 6 March 2016 (UTC) Btw, nice list! —Vensatry (Talk) 12:20, 6 March 2016 (UTC) Thanks very much for your review. Dudley Miles (talk) 15:21, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

List of Space Shuttle missions

Nominator(s): ~ Matthewrbowker ^{Drop me a note} 04:32, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Previous nominations:

• Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of space shuttle missions/archive1
• Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Space Shuttle missions/archive1

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it meets the standards for a featured list. I previously nominated this list a year ago and declined because I was inactive due to schooling. I have since resumed activity on-wiki and will be around to answer questions. Thank you. ~ Matthewrbowker ^{Drop me a note} 04:32, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Recusing myself as a delegate to review this list:

• Looks like I reviewed and supported this list a year ago, so that's a good sign
  • Indeed it is! :)
• The first time you call it the International Space Station it should be followed by (ISS), since you use the abbreviation thereafter.
  • Fixed.
• "78 missions while 54 missions [...] and one" - use numerals consistently
  • Fixed.
• "Four full operational orbiters" -> "Four fully operational orbiters"
  • Fixed
• "by Atlantis on 21 July 2011" - in the image caption in the lead you use month-day-year, but here is day-month-year- either is fine, as it's american / military-ish, but you should be consistent. You seem to use day-month-year in the tables.
  • Fixed the lead image caption.
• Okay, the numbering section is really confusing. Looks like what it is is that they numbered them 1-9, then had the code scheme, but kept using the sequential numbers on paperwork? Then when they started up again after STS-51-L, they went back to sequential officially, with the numbering starting at 26, only now the numbers can get out of order because they didn't renumber when they rescheduled a mission? Assuming that's right, your text is a mess- You say they were sequential for 1-33, then that they officially used the code scheme for a while, then sudenly say "Flights were assigned with sequential numbers from STS-9 through STS-33"... which you already said a different way, so it gets read that the code scheme stopped and they restarted at 9... and it isn't true anyway, your table says that STS-9 was the official number, no code given. You then say that "After the Challenger disaster, NASA restarted with STS-26R"... except what they actually did was go back to using the sequential numbers, and they slapped an R on the end (which you don't have in the table). Then you change paragraphs, and talk about the Challenger disaster again, saying that the numbers got out of order. It would be way less confusing if you combined these two paragraphs- "after the Challenger, they went back to sequential number, though they get out of order. For STS-26 through STS-33, the missions taking place in the two years after the program restarted, an R was appended (e.g. STS-26R) to represent 'reflight'."
  • You got it right, as far as I know. I've removed some information to clarify.
• Basically: that whole section needs to be re-flowed, it's confusing. It's also not clear why STS-26 through 33 don't have an R in the table.
  • R's added, articles don't exist though so I had to fiddle links.
• Additionally, both here and in the lead you talk as if STS-9 was the first flight with a code, but you call it STS-9 in the table, not STS-40-A.
  • I confess I am confused here, as I reference by year not flight. I changed one link, I hope that clarified things.
• "Four missions were cut short by a day or more whilst on orbit" - "on" orbit?
  • Fixed.
• You use periods in the tables sometimes, when you shouldn't: "ISS assembly flight ULF4: Mini-Research Module 1.", "ISS assembly flight ULF3: ExPRESS Logistics Carriers (ELCs) 1 & 2.", etc. Rows: 2, 18, 19, 28, 74, 127, 129, 132
  • Fixed.
• Redirects that don't seem intentional, if you want to fix them: Challenger in the lead, DoD row 4, TDRS and EVA row 6, Sullivan row 13, EASE/ACCESS row 23, Magellan row 29, Misty row 34, EVA row 47, NASA and tether row 49, TDRS row 53, EVAs row 74, EVAs row 88, Spacehab isn't allcaps'd in row 117/119, PMM and ELC in row 133, ELC row 134, the "main article" link to Cancelled Space Shuttle missions, Soyuz at the end of "Contingency missions", and 4 of the "See also"s
  • Fixed
• If this review was helpful, consider optionally reviewing my World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement FLC down below. --PresN 21:16, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
  • @PresN: I will give you a review as soon as I can give it a proper in-depth look. I've addressed everything above, thank you so much. ~ Matthewrbowker ^{Drop me a note} 23:24, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Support - I reworded some of the numbering section, but I'm satisfied enough now to support. --PresN 21:48, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you much! It reads much better than my version. ~ Matthewrbowker ^{Drop me a note} 23:12, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Comments

• "The Kennedy Space Center served as the landing site for 78 missions while 54 missions landed at Edwards Air Force Base, California and..." commas after while and California
  • Fixed.
• Tables needs colscopes per MOS:DTT
  • Fixed.
• I would move the colours in the statistics table to the name column, so they are with the symbols
  • I wish I could, but I can't figure out how do do it without CSS hacks. Currently, the rowscopes override the row coloring.
• Sources column in that table should be unsortable
  • Fixed.
• make sure all sources that are PDFs have the parameter |format=PDF added to the ref. I can see a few that are missing this
  • Fixed.

Resolved comments from Giants2008 (Talk) 02:17, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Comments – International Space Station doesn't need a second link in the lead. Fixed Neither does Hubble Space Telescope or Kennedy Space Center, or Challenger. Fixed. Check the coding of the non-breaking space in the lead image caption. It looks like there's a typo that's causing the coding to appear. Fixed. First two words of the List of shuttle flights section header could be trimmed. Fixed. In each of the tables, the words "Date" and "Site" in the table headers should be decapitalized. Fixed. STS-41-B: Space needed before Comsats FIxed. Cancelled missions: "whilst" → "while"? Fixed. Minor, but the hyphen in the title of the Goodwin book should be an en dash per the MoS. Fixed. I see space.com and Space.com in the references. Which is it? Fixed, all to lowercase. Reference 14 has the formatting pp. page=32. Might be a formatting issue there. Fixed. All caps in ref 314 should be removed. Giants2008 (Talk) 03:33, 18 February 2016 (UTC) Fixed, reverted to proper capitalization rules. @Giants2008: I believe I have addressed all of your concerns, thank you much! ~ Matthewrbowker Drop me a note 20:11, 18 February 2016 (UTC) @Giants2008: Apologies, it turns out my edit didn't save. I have remade the changes. ~ Matthewrbowker Drop me a note 20:40, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

So full disclosure, I have my own FLC candidate (Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship) and I figured the best way to gain some input on that is to give some myself.

• Lead

• Caption displays &mbsp; for some reason?
  • Fixed, see above.
• The term "Space Shuttle" is not linked in the lead? I was surprised at that.
  • Fixed.
• Kennedy Space Center is linked twice in the lead
  • Fixed, see above.
• Clarification for my benefit - All launches took place at the KSC right?
  • As far as I know, yes.

• Table

• The note [a] states that when there are two numbers it indicates how many astronauts they took off with and landed with. So when I see 7/7 I have to infer that it means that it's not the same seven astronauts they landed with as took off with right? otherwise ALL flights would have this? I think it would be good to clarify the note on that so we don't have to infer.
  • Fixed.
• I would spell out EVA the first time the term is used. ESA too?
  • Fixed.
• Mission STS-41-B, need a space between "two" and "comsats"
  • Fixed, see above.
• Contingency missions - I am confused why this is forced to be side by side? I assume that is why it does not sort etc.? What is the logic behind this choice?
  • Truth be told, I inherited it that way and didn't want to go through the work of changing it. I tried it a single column, and I like it much better.

• Sources

• Are the sources listed for the row where notes "b", "d" and "e" intended to cover the statements made in those notes? They should probably be explicitly sourced in the actual note (you can use Template:refn to accomplish this)
  • Done for d and e. I didn't to b because the citations on that row are designed to cover the entire row not just the landing location.

• So I really only have some detail issues, overall it's a great list and very close to FL standards.  MPJ-US  14:06, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

I have fixed all of the above issues, and will get to your list as soon as I can give it proper in-dept review. Thank you much. ~ Matthewrbowker ^{Drop me a note} 20:40, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Looks good, I am happy to say that I Support this for Featured List. Great work. MPJ-US  21:10, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Source review

• Spotchecked: 1, 7, 70, 112, 303, 309, all clean
  • Thank you.
• Formatting:
  • The source/work wikilinking is inconsistent: You link NASA each time, but don't link pretty much anything else- Space.com, Forbes, etc. This should be consistent.
    • Fixed
  • It's Space.com, not space.com
    • Took a guess and missed. Fixed.
  • "NASA Johnson Space Center Oral History Project" is the work for refs 7-10, NASA or Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center is the publisher
    • Fixed.
  • Your Space.com references have authors and dates, but you haven't stuck them in the references (e.g. ref 15)
    • Fixed.
  • It's not NASA Spaceflight.com, it's NASASpaceflight, as per their page footer.
    • Fixed.
  • ref 306 - "John F. Kennedy Space Center, National Aeronautics and Space Administration" is an odd publisher; it's just NASA or John F. Kennedy Space Center.
    • Fixed.
  • ref 308 is redirecting, and Fox News Insider would be the work, with Fox News the publisher, same for 314.
    • Fixed 308, archive.org no longer archives #314 so I tagged it. I will work on hunting down another source.
  • ref 309 the NYT isn't italicized
    • Fixed.
  • It's Time (or Time), not Time Magazine
    • Fixed.
• --PresN 18:39, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
  • @PresN: I've fixed all of your issues above, thank you much! ~ Matthewrbowker ^{Drop me a note} 01:24, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

• Almost done- "Time" should be in the work field and thus italicized on ref 315, Florida Today should be linked in refs 312, 316, and 318, and you have a deadlink on 314. --PresN 19:24, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

• Fixed everything except the dead link. Fox News Insider changed their link archiving policy and excluded that domain, which means I don't have access to the archived edition that used to be there. I'm working to find another similar source, but until then I'm leaving the current source as it was valid at the time I used it. ~ Matthewrbowker ^{Drop me a note} 20:19, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

• @PresN: I've added a new source to replace the dead one. Thank you much! ~ Matthewrbowker ^{Drop me a note} 01:19, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

List of municipalities in New Brunswick

Nominator(s): Mattximus (talk) 14:29, 22 December 2015 (UTC) and Hwy43 (talk)

We are attempting to bring the list of municipalities for every province and territory of Canada to featured status and eventual featured topic. We have created a standardized format and so far promoted Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territories. We have also taken suggestions from the previous 8 nominations into account for this nomination. All suggestions welcome and thanks for your input. Mattximus (talk) 14:29, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Resolved comments from Giants2008 (Talk) 03:05, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Comments – Sorry this hasn't received much attention until now. Here are a few simple things for you: The "one third" in the third paragraph of the lead could use a hyphen. The duplicate Canada 2011 Census links in the Towns, Villages, and Rural communities (x2) sections should be removed. Hmm not sure what you mean here. Are you saying just leave one of the links, maybe at the end of the paragraphs? Mattximus (talk) 22:50, 6 January 2016 (UTC) I believe Giants2008 is referring to WP:OVERLINK, which I have just resolved. Hwy43 (talk) 08:53, 7 January 2016 (UTC) The List of municipalities section title could be shortened to just the last word, as List of is redundant when the name of the article says there's a list. Can we change it simply to "List" per the explanation in my edit summary? Hwy43 (talk) 08:53, 7 January 2016 (UTC) A couple photo captions here could use hyphens for "second largest" and "third largest". Source review – Source reliability looks good, and the links all work according to the link-checker tool (which coughs a little at the sight of XLSX files, from the looks of it). Formattting also looks good for the most part; the only thing I'd change is spelling out the abbreviation in the publisher of ref 2, if it can be spelled out. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:29, 6 January 2016 (UTC) Thanks for your review, User:Giants2008, please let us know if there are any other changes needed to gain your support. Mattximus (talk) 22:50, 6 January 2016 (UTC) Likewise, thank you! Hwy43 (talk) 08:53, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

• Support – Now that the fixes have been made, I'm satisfied that the list meets the standards set by the others in this series. I'll leave the source review out so the potential closers can see that it was done. Giants2008 (Talk) 03:05, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Resolved comments from Jacek (Talk) 23:21, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Nice list. Only a few issues: First sentence needs comma after Canada Sorry, but no pause is necessary in that location, and therefore a comma is superfluous. Hwy43 (talk) 02:11, 18 January 2016 (UTC) I disagree, but of course I'm not going to oppose over a single comma. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 02:14, 18 January 2016 (UTC) "population of at least ten thousand" "population of fifteen hundred or more" - I think that should be 10,000 and 1,500 (or 10000 and 1500, if you prefer) Changed. Mattximus (talk) 21:58, 17 January 2016 (UTC) The list looks odd with images hanging in the empty space above the list. I realize it's not easy to find a good place to put them, but it looks strange. Perhaps make a gallery or embed them in the table itself (like I do with my lists)? This is been an issue that is brought up before. I sympathize with the formatting, but it turns out it only occurs with users who have small screens or low resolution. The problem can be fixed by zooming out just a bit in your browser. The reason we do not make use of the gallery is to be consistent with the other 13 lists which all have the same formatting. I hope this explanation is sufficient justification for our placement choice. Mattximus (talk) 21:58, 17 January 2016 (UTC) Yeah, I just noticed it only does that on my laptop, not my desktop. No problem. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 23:21, 17 January 2016 (UTC) "New Brunwsick has 8 cities, 26 towns, 65 villages, 1 regional municipality, and 8 rural communities" - not supported by ref 4. Interestingly, ref 2 claims 7 rural communities, not 8. Great catch, found the official list and changed the number from 8 to 7 (which matches with our list). Mattximus (talk) 21:58, 17 January 2016 (UTC) Thanks. This is where the error was introduced. The other errors elsewhere have been fixed. Hwy43 (talk) 02:33, 18 January 2016 (UTC) "Saint John was the first municipality in what would later become the province of New Brunswick to incorporate, in 1785" - not supported by ref 6 or 7. Another good catch. Made the link specific to the city of Saint John. Mattximus (talk) 21:59, 17 January 2016 (UTC) Didn't realize how awkward this sentence reads. I'm going to fix it. Also, it was the first community in Canada to incorporate as a city. The reference doesn't confirm first "municipality" in New Brunswick, but the fact that it was the first city in Canada therefore infers first "city" in NB. Hwy43 (talk) 02:43, 18 January 2016 (UTC) --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 17:30, 17 January 2016 (UTC) Thanks for your review. Please let us know if there is anything else that is needed to gain your support. Mattximus (talk) 21:58, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

That's good, thanks for the quick response. Nothing stopping me from Supporting now. I'd greatly appreciate it if you checked out this, though. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 23:21, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Resolved comments from PresN (Talk) 22:31, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Doffing my delegate hat to review this list. "In 1785, Saint John became the first community to incorporate as a city in what would eventually become Canada." - if you mean that it's the first city in Canada, rather than that it's the first city, and also is in Canada, then it may read better as "In 1785, Saint John became the first community in what would eventually become Canada to incorporate as a city." "with 70,063 as of the 2011 census" - with 70063 whats? 70,063 residents, presumably "New Brunswick's smallest smallest city by population (7,385) is Campbellton" - since you just said that it takes 10k people to be a city, should explain if it got grandfathered in or lost a lot of population or what. Same with Hartland in towns. That's about it! Pretty solid overall. I'll add on a source review tonight or tomorrow. If you found this review helpful, consider optionally reviewing my World Fantasy Convention Award nomination up above. --PresN 22:41, 16 February 2016 (UTC) Thanks for the review! I've made all changes and found the line in the municipal act that states "The inhabitants of the cities and towns in existence on January 1, 1967 continue to be bodies corporate.". I've clarified that in the respective paragraphs. Please let us know if anything else is needed for your support. Mattximus (talk) 21:36, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Support, looks good! --PresN 22:31, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Source review

Pass

• Spotchecks: checked sources 6, 11, 13, and 19 - all clean
• Formatting: You link Statistics Canada as a publisher in refs 1, 8, and 19, but not 10. On the flip side, you don't link any of the government organizations (like Department of Environment and Local Government (New Brunswick)); presumably this is intentional, but odd. Not a big enough deal to wait to pass the source review, but thought I should mention it. --PresN 22:31, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Academy Award for Best Director

Nominator(s): Johanna^{(talk to me!)} 17:52, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe that it meets the criteria. I have modeled this page on the pages Academy Award for Best Actor, Academy Award for Best Actress, Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, and Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, none of which were significantly contributed to by me. I have completely redone the table on the page and have also written a lead, a "multiple nominations and wins" section, and an "oldest and youngest winners" section. Thanks to any commenters on this historic and important subject! Johanna^{(talk to me!)} 17:52, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Resolved comments from Birdienest81 (talk) 02:09, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

;Comments from Birdienest81 Since this table is made sortable, the names in the table will all have to be put into a sortname template: If the name of film is starts with "A" or "An" or "the", then use Film title. I can help you with this portion if you have trouble doing this, or ask Cowlibob. @Birdienest81: I don't have any experience with this area of template syntax, so I would appreciate it if one of you could help or at least show me how to fix this. Johanna(talk to me!) 17:34, 27 January 2016 (UTC) Remove List of Academy Award for Best Directing winners by age, List of Big Five Academy Award winners and nominees, List of superlative Academy Award winners and nominees, and List of directors with two or more Academy Awards for Best Directing from the See Also section since those articles are linked in the Academy Awards lists template at the bottom of the list. Done. Those were added before I started to work on the page, and I didn't really notice them. Johanna(talk to me!) 17:34, 27 January 2016 (UTC) In the multiple nominations/wins tally, Robert Wise won two awards. Done Overall, great work!

--Birdienest81 (talk) 02:11, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Comment from Jimknut

• It looks like the film titles still need some work with the sorting. Titles that begin with "A" or "An" should sort under the second word in the title. Likewise, while it's optional, I think titles that begin with number (such as 12 Angry Men) should sort as if the number was spelled out (i.e. Twelve Angry Men). Jimknut (talk) 22:15, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

• @Jimknut: After looking at Birdie and Cowlibob's edits with regard to sorting, I understood how to do this and was then able to complete the sorting by myself. I am finished with all the films that begin with "A", "An", or "The". However, I do not think that I should change titles that begin with number, as this was how they were initially marketed. Also, it would be a bit silly to change 2001: A Space Odyssey to "Two Thousand One: A Space Odyssey" or 8½ to "Eight and a half". :) Thank you for the comment!

Source review (spot checks not done):

Resolved comments from Frankie talk

Comments by FrB.TG "It is given in honor of a film director who has exhibited" – "exhibited" is not quite a good choice of word. "Currently, nominees are determined by single transferable vote within the directors" - see WP:CURRENTLY and this sentence is unsourced. "awards in this category with four Oscars". Why do you have both the full form and abbreviation of Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in all of the references? Reference 4 is incomplete. In the comments is also the source review (only concering consistency) of the article-- Frankie talk 17:08, 2 February 2016 (UTC) @FrB.TG: Sorry for the late comments--this page must have accidentally fallen off my watchlist. I have fixed all your comments except for one. I copy-pasted these refs (after checking them, obviously) from other FL Academy awards articles. I will remove the persistent use of the acronym if you insist, but I just wanted to let you know that. Johanna(talk to me!) 15:21, 8 February 2016 (UTC) I don't know but to me it seems to redundant to repeat both full form and initials every time they occur. If you use initials for something you don't need to use the full form and the other way around. -- Frankie talk 17:58, 8 February 2016 (UTC) @FrB.TG: Okay, I have removed repetitions of the AMPAS acronym. Let me know what you think now. Johanna(talk to me!) 15:17, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Additional comment from Birdienest81

• I've replaced the TBD bar for this year's slate of nominees into bar that reads "Winner will be announced on February 28, 2016". From my understanding, that is how fellow featured lists from the Daytime Emmy Awards indicate a ceremony that has yet to happen.

None of the entries in "See also" really belong as they don't pertain to the Oscars themselves The Levy citation has a HARVref error since it doesn't properly connect to its source. "Rainbow Media" and "Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences" shouldn't be italicized Shouldn't be too much trouble to fixup. Snuggums (talk / edits) 20:06, 21 February 2016 (UTC) @SNUGGUMS: I have fixed your comments. Thanks for your review! Johanna(talk to me!) 03:12, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

• Comment from Miyagawa

  The only comment I have is regarding the table formatting of the first awards. It isn't immediately apparent that three of the films were considered for the Dramatic category and two for the Comedic. As I see it, there are two options - either the bracketed Dramatic/Comedic lines are added to the nominees or just for that year, add a further column in to state dramatic/comedic. I would personally suggest for former, only because that way it won't break the sort function for the Director(s) column. Ping me back when you've had a chance to look at this and I'll lend my support. Miyagawa (talk) 13:14, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

• @Miyagawa: Thanks for the comment. I have added a parenthetical of (Dramatic) or (Comedy) to the nominees as well. Johanna^{(talk to me!)} 19:18, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

• Great, happy to Support. Miyagawa (talk) 20:16, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Source check - I have done a source review as seen above in my comments and now after checking them for verification, I think all of the references are meticulously sourced. The facts present in the article can easily be verified with the sources. -- Frankie _talk 19:05, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

69th Academy Awards

Nominator(s): Birdienest81 (talk) 18:59, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

I am nominating the 1997 Oscars for featured list because I believe it has great potential to become a Featured List. I followed how the 1929, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 were written.

Resolved comments from Frankie talk

Comments by FrB.TG: "During the ceremony, AMPAS presented the Academy Awards (commonly referred to as Oscars)" "took place on March 24, 1997, at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles beginning" – de-link LA as MoS suggests. Besides writing the number of awards by The English Patient at the ceremony, you should also add that it won the most awards. "Best Original Musical or Comedy Score winner Rachel Portman became the first female winner for composing a musical score" – can be rephrased as "Rachel Portman became the first female to win the Best Original Musical or Comedy Score". "Winners are listed first and highlighted with boldface, and indicated with a double dagger ‡" The tables besides the one in the Winners and nominees section need to meet MOS:DTT. !scope=row is what I am referring to. "comedian Billy Crystal to host the 1997 telecast stating," – a comma is needed before "telecast". Why the inconsistency of wiki-linking the publisher of a source-the one in ref 5. Ref 34, 44, 47 - ditto. In the comments is also the source review (only concerning consistency) of the article-- Frankie talk 17:08, 2 February 2016 (UTC) @FrB.TG: Done I have fixed everything except two. Rephrasing the sentence as "Rachel Portman became the first female to win the Best Original Musical or Comedy Score" would imply that she was the first person to win Best original Musical or Comedy Score only. In other words, a woman would have already won dramatic score (which is false). Portman was the first winner for original score regardless of dramatic or comedic/musical score. Putting a comma before telecast (1997, telecast) does not seem grammatically correct. --Birdienest81 (talk) 04:24, 12 February 2016 (UTC) Sorry I meant after "telecast". -- Frankie talk 07:48, 12 February 2016 (UTC) Done" Added comma. --Birdienest81 (talk) 04:06, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Support - Looks good to me. Jimknut (talk) 18:08, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

"Robert “Mutt” Lange" → Robert John "Mutt" Lange as official title and correct quotation marks None of the listings except Submissions for the 69th Academy Award for Best Foreign Film in "See also" are relevant to this page or have any connection to the Oscars and should therefore be removed Two citations read "Los Angelest Times" when they should be Los Angeles Times Using publishers/parent companies for works has become largely deprecated, so I'd remove them from the citations The book by Robert Osborne has a HARVref error since there are no citations to that book. Either remove this entry or include a citation within the article to the book. That's all from me. Snuggums (talk / edits) 20:14, 20 February 2016 (UTC) @SNUGGUMS:Done: I have responded to your comments and have promptly made the appropriate changes based on them. --Birdienest81 (talk) 06:36, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
