• Featured list candidates/List of Cleveland Spiders Opening Day starting pitchers/archive1

Nominator(s): Astros4477 (Talk) 19:49, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because... I feel it meets all the criteria and matches other MLB Opening Day starting pitchers lists. Astros4477 (Talk) 19:49, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Comments –

• In the first sentence, the "team" right after "franchise" should be dropped.
• The en dash in the first sentence of the third paragraph shouldn't be unspaced according to the MoS. It should be spaced or made into a larger em dash.
• In ref 2, the publisher shouldn't be italicized since MLB isn't a print publication of any kind, but an organization. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:16, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
  • I addressed all your comments.-- Astros4477 (Talk) 23:09, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Resolved comments from Bloom6132 (talk) 15:51, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Comments – I see "Stadium in italics with ‡ for home game" in the key, but don't see this applied to the table, since the Spiders didn't play a home game. I suggest maybe changing the wording here, since it seems confusing and unnecessary to mention home games when there weren't any. "Sports Reference, LLC" in refs 1 and 4 – remove comma in between. Could I trouble you to help review my current FLC, please? —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:27, 2 April 2013 (UTC) I addressed both your comments. Yes I could review yours, give me a few days.-- Astros4477 (Talk) 15:36, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

• Support – meets FL criteria. Great work! —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:51, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Comments

• I'd switch " that played from 1887 to 1899 and were based in Cleveland, Ohio." to "that were based in Cleveland and played from ..."
  • Fixed.-- Astros4477 (Talk) 14:45, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
• "from 1887 to 1888" does this actually mean "in the 1887 and 1888 seasons"?
  • Yes, fixed.-- Astros4477 (Talk) 14:46, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
• "Opening Day" is over linked in the lead.
  • Fixed.-- Astros4477 (Talk) 14:47, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
• "a score of". This seems entirely redundant to me.
  • Fixed.-- Astros4477 (Talk) 14:49, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
• "from 1891-1899" see WP:DASH and WP:YEAR.
• While the key may be generic to these lists, it features a number of items that will never be used here so I suggest you ditch them.
• Should add a note about the perceived confusion over the location of the Opening Day of the 1888 season...
