Featured list candidates/Laureus World Sports Award for Team of the Year/archive1

Nominator(s): The Rambling Man (talk) 13:18, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Next up, the team list. This is a tiny bit different as pertinent images are few and far between so instead of embedding them sporadically within the list, they adopt a rather more tradional "alongside" positioning. As ever, my undying gratitude to anyone prepared to keep the Laureus ball rolling and I'll get to any and all matters as soon as I can. Yes, I have other FLCs but all have at least three supports, so it's all okay! The Rambling Man (talk) 13:18, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Everything looks good to me. I got no comments or concerns. Great job! Can't wait for the rest of the series. BeatlesLedTV (talk) 17:01, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

:Hi TRM, please find my comments below:

Lead

108-year drought by winning the World Series sharper link to 2016 World Series
Could you flesh out the lead a further by adding rugby union teams have won three awards and Formula One two, the Cubs win 2017 is the first for a team from the USA

Table

2004 – change Yachting to Sailing (sport)
I know we didn't add to the previous lists, but I think another column, "Achievement" should be added, to tell our readers why the team won. You have already provided refs which explain why they won.

Ianblair23 thanks as always, I've attended to all your comments, had to force a col width to stop the new Achievements col from crushing the subsequent cols, but I think it's ok... The Rambling Man (talk) 13:28, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support Another fine job TRM. Cheers – Ianblair23 (talk) 10:03, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Dudley

It seems random which refs are archived. I suggest archiving all.
It probably is. Until such a time that someone can point me to a tool which archives all unarchived links in a single article, I'm going to decline the offer. I'm just using the tool on the History page which is called "fix dead links", it can also add archives (where available). If you know of a tool which can do mass archives, please let me know. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:39, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I use the tool at [2], which I think Rodw pointed out to me and works for me, although he says it does not work with Historic England links. (It shows a 'missing token' error message, but you can ignore it.) Dudley Miles (talk) 12:04, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As you have space on the right for photos, I would have more and fill the space.

Yes, that's the one I use, it doesn't actually do the archiving, it just uses existing archived pages. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:46, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

On my screen, there is no available space whatsoever, I based it on a width where all the nominations were on indivdual lines, so try stretching your window until that happens, you should see little or no space below the Cubs image. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:39, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
All looks good apart from these nit picks. Dudley Miles (talk) 23:51, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dudley Miles, thanks for your comments, I've responded above. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:39, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
