Edited this list significantly over the past few days and now feel it meets featured standard. It's a list of the managers who've won the top level of English football since its inception. Thanks in advance for your comments. NapHit (talk) 16:25, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

  • "was the Football League First Division when it was replaced by the Premier League," - this does not make grammatical sense. Also, the First Division did not technically exist until the Second Division was added in 1892.
  • Thomas H. McIntosh should sort under M. The H is not part of his surname
  • I would suggest that The Wednesday should sort under W
  • What's with the unexplained asterisk by Frank Watt's name in 1906-07?
    • Was there by error, removed. NapHit (talk) 20:39, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • The order in which the managers are listed in the Won the League as a player and a manager table seems to be completely random, am I missing something?
    • It's ordered chronologically, so the first person to win the league as a player and manager to the last as shown by the last column. NapHit (talk) 20:39, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • In that table, why do some entries have multiple seasons on the same line separated by a comma but others do not?
    • Rectified, so it's all commas. NapHit (talk) 20:39, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, I'm sure you'll add Arteta in a few weeks ;) -- Idiosincrático (talk) 13:27, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't see why there are so few images (nor why they are all bunched together under one caption). I think we should display every relevant image available on the side. Most awards/accolades lists do this.—indopug (talk) 05:32, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a requirement for there to be images all the way down the side of the table. There are four images, I think that's enough. @Indopug:. NapHit (talk) 10:55, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from EnthusiastWorld37

  • "The top level of the English football league system from its formation in 1888 was the Football League, until the introduction of a Second Division in 1892 when it became known as the Football League First Division." - Needs to be verified since the Premier League Origin webpage does not contain this information.
  • George Graham in the tables doesn't need to have the "George Graham (footballer, born 1944)" part in the sortname templates since the article links to just "George Graham"
  • The two notes will require referencing to a reliable source to verify that they are correct
  • It should be mentioned that the Financial Times citation is paywalled
  • "Guardiola becomes England's most successful foreign manager". Reuters." - Simon Evans is missing as the author of this reference
  • "City show the right way to win, says Pellegrini" - Nick Mulvenney is missing as the author of this reference
  • The References might be better off archived for preservation purposes

That's all I have EnthusiastWorld37 (talk) 08:26, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comments, @EnthusiastWorld37:, I've addressed them all apart from the archive one. I'm more than happy to archive the refs but I'm not sure what tool you need to use to archive all the refs for the page at once. I really don't want to individually archive every ref.

There's IABot that will help one archive references EnthusiastWorld37 (talk) 12:14, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @EnthusiastWorld37:, that bot is great! All references have been archived now. NapHit (talk) 12:59, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
