List of Colorado Rockies Opening Day starting pitchers[edit]

I based the format of the article off of List of Seattle Mariners Opening Day starting pitchers which has FL status. All references are reliable, and featured list criteria appears to be meet. --Mr.crabby (Talk) 01:17, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak support - It looks great and identical to the Seattle Mariners' one, but this one is more short and sort does not meet CR4, but in a way it does since it is listing over 10 items.--SRX 23:12, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:50, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved stuff from NapHit

Comments

  • Numbers above 10 should generally be in digits
  • Years should be centrally aligned, and so should the decisions column

Support Great work, well done NapHit (talk) 14:45, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Prose needs some work.
    • "on two Opening Days.[1] Those four are" → "on two Opening Days:[1] "
Dome --Mr.crabby (Talk) 21:25, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • "all of the other games" → "the other games"
Done --Mr.crabby (Talk) 21:25, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I suggest unlinking the years in the lead as it is not immediately obvious that they link to season articles; they can be continued to be linked in the table, however, as it is more apparent.
Done --Mr.crabby (Talk) 21:25, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The entire lead is cited using only one reference; the same reference does not need to appear at the end of nearly every sentence. I suggest just using it once at the end of every paragraph.

Weak support as long as the following points are corrected...

  • "...pitcher to ever start ..." -> "pitcher ever to start..."
Done --Mr.crabby (Talk) 11:08, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Except for " I'd prefer "With the exception of..."
Done --Mr.crabby (Talk) 11:08, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "... once in 1993 and mlby|1994..." - missing a some template braces here.
Corrected --Mr.crabby (Talk) 11:08, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please don't use small fonts.
I'm sorry to ask aout this again, but do you want me to make the references larger? --Mr.crabby (Talk) 11:08, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, I'm talking about the repeat appearances (2) etc in the table. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:48, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
According to this discussion, the text should be left as it is. --Mr.crabby (Talk) 20:49, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
