List of Toronto Blue Jays managers[edit]

I am nominating this article since I think it should be promoted to a featured list status. Annoyomous24 (talk) 23:39, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Stars are missing for #10–12 in the table. DONE! Gary King (talk) 00:05, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • DONE!
  • Comments
    • Lead image should be bigger per WP:MOS#Images - it recommends 300px if I recall correctly. Best to check. DONE!
    • Baseball linked twice within four words. DONE!
    • The lead is reference-less. Some claims should be referenced, e.g. "fastest AL expansion franchise to win a World Series". DONE!
    • "2 championship rings." DONE!
      • 2->two
      • what's a "championship ring"?
    • World Series linked twice in lead. Avoid this overlinking. DONE!
    • "Thus any coach who has two separate terms as head coach is only counted once." - try "who has had two or more..." as only Gaston meets this and he's had three goes. DONE!
    • Blue Jays timeline general link only goes up to 1981. What is used from this in the article? If something specific then use specific references, if general then it probably needs to be even more general than the specific 76-81 page you've linked to. DONE!

  • Comment I think the lead is way too short. With the two related pages I've worked on that are currently nominated, the lead is three paragraphs. While it is a long paragraph, the lead is short. I also overall think 8000 bytes is not long enough. Again, my articles are about 14000 and 11000 bytes. Please expand.--LAAFan 15:44, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strike that. Who am I to say that an article needs to be a certain length? Support--LAAFan 00:32, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I made two minor edits hoping you understood them.--Crzycheetah 06:13, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object. Looks good but there should be a couple of corrections:
    • "Bobby Cox 648 355 292" - that doesn't add up.
    • "Jimy Williams 523 281 241" - neither does that
    • Which reference is Gaston's playoff record coming from? Those 1992–1997 playoff numbers don't look right.
    • The intro wanders off topic, for example The "Blue Jays" name originates from the bird of the same name. They are nicknamed "the Jays", which is featured on the team's logo and on the front of the home uniform.--maclean 06:55, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Some of the sentences in the Lede, including the two quoted by Maclean are stubby. Needs a copy edit. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 08:12, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
