Boston Red Sox seasons

This is well referenced, and has a nicely written lead. It seems to meet all criteria. « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie ^{( talk / contribs)} 22:49, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

• Support (as nom) « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie ^{( talk / contribs)} 21:30, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
• Comments I'm tempted to oppose based on the team. ;) Joking aside, some of the references aren't in {{cite web}} form. Also, make sure punctuation marks are before the reference at the end of a sentence. Just a couple things at first glance. Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 13:26, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
  • References look good, but ref #2 is still inside the period. Other than that it looks good from what I can tell. Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 14:45, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Alright (I know it looks like I'm talking to myself here), from what I can tell it looks good. Seems well-written, and from what I can tell (don't know much about sports) it looks factually accurite. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's good enough to support.

• Oppose, not enough in-line citations for the list itself. GreenJoe 00:11, 28 May 2008 (UTC) Support, the in-line citations look good. Thank you for doing this. GreenJoe 01:00, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
  • You don't need to include inline citations for every single line in the list when all information comes from one source. It's properly indicated at the bottom of the list. Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 00:22, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
    • However, the information does come from an unreliable source (xx.tripod.com), so it looks like inline citations for each season will be necessary. Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 00:36, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
      • Done, every season now cited. « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie 00:04, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Comments

• Don't split the bolding of the lead over two sentences.
• Refer to Wikipedia_talk:FLC#Straight_repetitions_of_the_title_in_the_opening_sentence
• I don't get it.. the opening sentence says "not including playoffs", yet the table has a playoffs column
• "Boston, Massachusetts", rather than "Boston, Massachusetts
• "Major League Baseball (MLB)" should be "Major League Baseball (MLB)"
• No need for "both of" or "itself", so "current champions of the Major League Baseball (MLB)’s American League Eastern Division and the American League (AL)." will do fine
• I think the nicknames should be placed within quote marks rather than being italicised
• Is the season over yet? If so, "Every home game since May 15, 2003 has been sold out—a span of over four years.[6]" might be better as "Between May 15, 2003 and <<the date of the final game of the season>>, every home game has been sold out.[6]
• Image:Pumpsie Green 1960 Topps 317.jpg needs a fair-use claim (it actually doesn't have a single one)
• Footnote [e], "95—67" should use " – " per WP:DASH

That's all I've got. Matthewedwards (talk · contribs · count · email) 08:07, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! Though you didn't have to remove the image, just provide a fair-use claim. Nevermind, it's no big deal. Everything else is good, criteria is met, so Support. Matthewedwards (talk · contribs · count · email) 06:29, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
