- Nominator(s): Yellow Dingo (talk) 10:45, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I am nominating this for featured list because I enjoy cycling and follow the Tour de France every year. I think it meets the criteria. This page is based on the FLC List of teams and cyclists in the 2016 Tour de France. Please note that I currently have another FLC open but it has four supports and no unanswered comments so I think it is ok to open this one. If any of the FLC delegates disagree feel free to close. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 10:45, 16 August 2016 (UTC) [reply]
- Support I have worked on getting 2012, 2013 and 2015 (review) to FL and had previously brought the list up to standard. It must be noted that Yellow has only contributed to the prose, so full credit must be given to HelSimki and Ytfc23 for their very time consuming edits. BaldBoris 17:48, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks BaldBoris for your support. An yes i whole-heartily agree that credit must go to HelSimki and Ytfc23 as well as Tomrtn and yourself for your great work. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 06:04, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Edit: I should have been clear that my support was for the layout and tables, which have had no issues. Prose now looks in shape now and I fully support it. BaldBoris 17:45, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The cites needs filling properly, which I thought I had done previously? I can do it for you, as I'm a stickler with them. BaldBoris 18:15, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @BaldBoris: Sorry, is there something I need to do here? Or is it fixed. I happy to do it if needed. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 21:48, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Now worries, I sorted it. BaldBoris 23:48, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This is just from the lead. I'll list more issues later.--Cheetah (talk) 06:49, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Support The only issue remaining that I have is I can't find out how the starting numbers are assigned. If you add that info as well, That'd be over the top.--Cheetah (talk) 06:34, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @Crzycheetah: Thanks for your support and thorough review. About the numbers, they are assigned based on the result of the team leader in the previous Tour. Should I add a note about it? - Yellow Dingo (talk) 06:36, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, a footnote with a reference would be beneficial.--Cheetah (talk) 06:46, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I have to say that a couple of the suggestions by Crzycheetah are unnecessary. None of these are used in the other FL cycling lists.
- The entry in the legend for explaining why Froome's time is marked differently: The "Time" column is explained as the difference to the winner of the GC, which is explained as being denoted by a yellow jersey icon.
- The explanation for why there's no tenth number: I mean, really, is this needed?
- The note in the "By team" section is duplicate of the one in "Teams": Both should be a sentence in the lead.
Those were just his comments, not what you have to change. Other ones were good mind you. BaldBoris 23:35, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I partly agree with your points. The double dagger can be removed and the note about the time added to the yellow jersey in the legend table. Something like "Denotes the winner of the general classification with his full race time listed". As for your second point, to be honest, even after adding that note, I don't understand why there is no tenth number. Why are the cyclists not assigned with the tenth number? is it bad luck? Taboo? I have no idea. And the third point, yes, I agree, the notes can be removed and the order explanation be stated in the lead. --Cheetah (talk) 00:57, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @Crzycheetah: Thanks for the reply. Sorry, maybe its because I'm a keen sports fan, but if the team has only nine riders you couldn't have the next teams numbers starting at ten. It basically just makes it easy to mark who's in what team, also, the rider ending with one can easily be marked as the team leader. Imagine the mess without this. BaldBoris 11:30, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @Crzycheetah and BaldBoris: I have made some changes here. I hope they are a decent compromise. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 07:00, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Good compromise there. The style of the note may need looking at though. BaldBoris 11:30, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Any suggestions BaldBoris? Should it be more informative? Does the wording need improvement? I'm a bit stuck for ideas at the moment. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 11:41, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Good compromise there. The style of the note may need looking at though. BaldBoris 11:30, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Support A very nice list. I have not find any issues with it. The sources and external links are also all good, and it has no dead links. Currently, this list meets the FL criteria. AffeL (talk) 09:59, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for your support AffeL. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 10:02, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
