Self-nomination. Diff. I think this meets he criteria and is as good as other sport related Featured lists I have seen.--Serte [ Talk · Contrib ] 01:30, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Excellent work, however, a couple of questions:
  1. How come you didnt use the full standard stat set for goaltenders - ie include losses, ties, SOLs?
  2. I am sure the red linked players will be a concern for some.
  3. Perhaps you could add a couple pictures of some of the Avs more notable players - Roy, Sakic, etc?

At any rate, I am inclined to Support this list as present. Resolute 02:29, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support quite a nice list. A Comment would be to include some way to represent players who were with the Nordiques and Avalanche, perhaps? Regardless, good work all around. Kaiser matias 06:20, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'll try to search for some pictures to use. I didn't use the full standard set for goalies because I was not 100% sure I could found that information for every goalie and because I'd have to have several columns and some of them empty, due to the facts that those rules changed in time. I think wins is the most important stat and that's what I put. Thanks--Serte [ Talk · Contrib ] 10:02, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I've found 7 pictures to use, most of them of former Avalanche players. I searched on flickr and wikimedia commons, and even uploaded a picture image:Chris Drury.jpg there. If any of you knows where to find more or has them, help out. Thanks.--Serte [ Talk · Contrib ] 10:50, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, good work. --Phoenix 17:28, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, nice list, however I'd prefer the highlighted blue to be lighter. --Krm500 00:50, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Seems a bit strange in an article about Avalanche players to have images of them not in Avalanche uniforms. Buc 17:13, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it's either that or nothing. Unless you have some good and free to use pictures of Avalanche players in Avalanche uniforms, this is the best we can get.--Serte [ Talk · Contrib ] 17:51, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
What's wrong with nothing? Buc 07:33, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
When it didn't have photos, people asked to put some. Not that it has, "What's wrong with nothing?". (I'm saying this with a smile) I understand your point, but I don't really see there's anything wrong with them wearing other teams equipment: they are professional players and it's better to have people see them that nothing at all. At least for me. I'd leave it as it is unless we get more Avalanche fotos or more people say to take them out. If I didn't live around 8000 km away from Denver, I'd take some photos of them just for this article. :P--Serte [ Talk · Contrib ] 13:47, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I have some low quality images of some of the Avalanche, mostly from weird angles. I've been delaying uploading them, but if you want to use them, I will go ahead and do it. Kaiser matias 20:32, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment If you can see the players well, that'd be good.--Serte [ Talk · Contrib ] 13:47, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still not convinced. Images in the players own articles maybe but not in a list which merely mentions them. Also why some players but not others? Buc 18:19, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That didn't seem like a problem when List of dinosaurs was promoted. Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Sweden international footballers/archive1 was also promoted with pictures of only a few players, and with one in a uniform which is not of the Swedish national team (although they weren't there when it was promoted). I'm not sure of what you're not convinced of. Still, you can take them off if you want to. Just don't force me to do something I don't agree with, specially if does not stop the article from becoming an FL or collides with an important policy here. Cheers--Serte [ Talk · Contrib ] 19:38, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not saying it would stop it from becoming a FL overwise I would have opposed. Buc 08:41, 19 May 2007 (UTC) 15:30, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have to agree with Serte. Having images of the players doesn't do anything to damage the article; they only enhance it. And certain players are shown based on what is available. We can't just take any image that we want, so we have to use what we have. Kaiser matias 04:51, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I was working on a list of New Jersey Devils players on my sandbox with a different format, but if this passes, I'll change my formatting to match yours, since it's better anyway. Good job, lots of pictures. My only comment would be perhaps an inline citation to the individual stats of each player; even though it would make the list a little longer, it would help to avoid having to look through the external link to find each player. Otherwise, I support it. Anthony Hit me up... 14:42, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
