2017 AFL Women's Rising Star

Featured list candidates/2017 AFL Women's Rising Star/archive1

Nominator(s): – Teratix ₵ 09:30, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Following Allied45's successful FLCs for the 2016 and 2017 AFL Rising Star awards, I'm continuing the trend with the equivalent accolade in the AFL Women's. I have tried to follow a similar format to the previous FLs. The list is a bit shorter than its AFL counterparts but just as comprehensive, and has a high-quality lead image to boot. (This is my first FLC). – Teratix ₵ 09:30, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

I'd mention more specifically that 2017 was the AFLW's first season

Done. – Teratix ₵ 14:39, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate that you have a link to the eligibility section of the main article, but I would also briefly explain the rules here. It would only require one extra sentence and it would help to bulk up the lead, which is quite slender as it stands.

I've put in a brief sentence. I'm still looking for sources to clarify some of the details of eligibility. – Teratix ₵ 14:39, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's unclear whether suspended players in 2017 couldn't be nominated or were merely ineligible to win. To be safe, I've just said they couldn't win. I've found an example of a player who was suspended during the 2019 season but was still nominated, so I've clarified the criteria in the main article. Hope that's OK? – Teratix ₵ 01:13, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"announced in the AFLW's awards ceremony" - I would say "announced at the AFLW's awards ceremony", but then I am not Australian. Can you confirm that something occurring "in" a ceremony is standard Australian usage?

No, this is just a mistake, fixed. – Teratix ₵ 14:39, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would avoid the use of "this year", as it's rather confusing language given that "this year" almost always means the year in which the reader is actually reading it. I would replace with "the year", "the season", or simply "2017"

Replaced all. – Teratix ₵ 14:39, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Might be worth mentioning that every club had at least one player nominated?

Could you explain why? It seems a bit trivial to me. – Teratix ₵ 14:39, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Fair enough, just thought it was mildly interesting, but it's not a deal breaker..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:13, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can you check the vote totals? The main article says that each of the 10 panel members awards points from 5 down to 1, so the totals should add up to (5+4+3+2+1)*10 = 150, but they actually add up to 153??

Looks like a mistake in the source. Mithen is credited with 26 votes in the overall tally but the individual panel members' votes only add to 23. Fixed. – Teratix ₵ 14:39, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Think that's it from me -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:27, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Beautiful work Teratix! Thank you for helping expand on my work with these lists. I could not find any issues, and I have taken the liberty to archive all the citations to ensure link rot does not become an issue down the track :) Allied45 (talk) 07:16, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Source review – This article is a pass as far as the sources are concerned. The references are all reliable and well-formatted, and the link-checker tool shows no problems. Giants2008 (Talk) 23:23, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
