After the Olympics and seeing the skeleton list below I decided to take up a little bit different kind of baseball list. Staxringold talkcontribs 21:10, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Support nicely done, and dare I say (without descending into a well of sycophancy) this FLC, as with most of Stax's, has been a pleasure to review i.e. I just nitpick and be a typical Brit knowing nothing about baseball while my comments are treated with respect. All this is a good example of how FLC should work. Nice one. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:45, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Looks good, thanks for polishing off this list! I've added my name to the nomination since I added all the names to this list back in August 2006.
The only problem I see is with the sports-reference.com references, as they don't follow the format that SR.com request of us (see [2]). We created the {{cite sports-reference}} template to help with that. Also, it might be a good idea to use the official reports as references (at least for the four Games in which they are available). See references #33–36 of List of participating nations at the Summer Olympic Games for the 1992–2004 reports; I've already figured out all the correct {{cite book}} parameters but you'll need to find the correct page numbers. Hope this helps — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 22:19, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The official reports are listed as a general reference. As large-PDFs that really just repeat information at the various other sources I figured better to use Sports Reference for the inline refs (so someone can easily and quickly see the information). I'll change the formatting to "Olympics at Sports-Reference.com" now. Didn't know that template existed! Staxringold talkcontribs 22:24, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, you know what, I just saw that the template is for athlete bios only, since it hardcodes the "Biography and Olympic Results" part of the page name. But you can still use:
