List of Philadelphia Phillies team records edit

previous FLC (07:25, 17 September 2008)

As before, I am nominating this list because:

  1. I believe it meets the FL criteria.
  2. it is a unique list and a unique topic.
  3. this list could be a guide for others wishing to create lists of this type.

Because of its unique nature, this list was peer reviewed before nomination. To read the reviewers' input, please go here. In addition, this article has a previous FLC nomination, archived above. In response to the concerns which I was not able to deal with 1 month ago due to moving, I have removed sort facilities from this article because they seem to be more of a hindrance than a help. It would be sorting apples and oranges anyway at this point. Thanks in advance! KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 15:16, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • "The 1915 Phillies, first of the franchise to make the postseason" This image caption doesn't make sense.
  • "Hitting streak in one season and hitting streak over two seasons are considered two separate records by Major League Baseball." Add His before "Hitting". Dabomb87 (talk) 16:44, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • That doesn't make sense to me. "Hitting streak in one season" is the name of the record; there's no possessive pronoun necessary. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on!
Comments from blackngold
  • Intro needs non-breaking spaces on numbers followed by units (ie 19,035 games, etc.)
  • Lowercase "c" in Triple crown, per article title.
  • Actually, because of title rules in the programming of WP, neither need to be capitalized. Done. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 17:37, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Statistics are current through 2007 season..." do any need updated? If not change to "2008 season".
  • My B. Thought I got all the articles updated. Done. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 17:37, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's all I got, it's a pretty simple list, but well put together. Blackngold29 17:16, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • It looks great, but I'd really like to see some sorting. It would be nice to be able to sort so you could quickly see how many records are held by the same player, how many records were set in the same year, etc. All you'd need to do is take out the reference row and convert it to a short sentence with a citation at the top of the section. Or, you could just put the citation in the table header by "Statistic" or "Record".-NatureBoyMD (talk) 23:48, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'll take a look at it, but to be honest, I doubt my ability to get it right. Somebody explained the sortname template to me last time, but I still don't understand it. Apparently using the MLBY template screws something up, so that's going to require a huge amount of recoding. There's also the issue of the career tables; what year do they get sorted by!? I don't mind taking out the colspans, not a problem at all, but there are lots of other issues to be considered. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 13:52, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • You might be interested in looking at another current FLC: Nashville Sounds team records. There, I've got career record years sorted by the player's first season. Sorting by years there probably isn't as important as it would be in the other tables. You might want to replace the MLBY template with the hardcoded [[YYYY in baseball|YYYY]]; it would be a chore, but I see it as a relatively easy fix. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 17:00, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Actually it would have to be changed to [[YYYY Major League Baseball season|YYYY]], but I haven't been able to find any problems with the sorting using MLBY yet. It was mentioned to me in the previous FLC. I will take a look at it tomorrow evening (I won't have time before then because of plans tonight) and see what I can do.

I think I've fixed it. Take a look; let me know. Thanks! KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 22:54, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
