  • I would use the formatting from the opening line of List of Boston Red Sox managers here too... "The Blue Jays are members of the American League (AL) East Division in Major League Baseball (MLB)."

  • I've fixed some grammar and copyediting mistakes, but I would give this a thorough check-over and close reading.
I'll try to find some more grammar and copyediting mistakes if there is anymore.
  • General manager does not need to be capitalized.

  • Harry Warner needs to be linked in the table.
There's no wikilink for that article. There is one with the same name but they're both different people. -- K. Annoyomous24 GO LAKERS! Please reply on my talk page. Thanks. 04:53, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Then it should be a redlink or, preferably, you should create a stub for him.
  • No space before the [b] footnote (Warner).
DONE! -- K. Annoyomous24 GO LAKERS! Please reply on my talk page. Thanks. 04:53, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is a [d] footnote at the bottom for Rojas, but no link to it in the table.

  • Make the "#" column unsortable or add a sortkey so that it sorts in the right order (I would just take it out because the year column will sort it the way you want).
It does sort in the right order. -- K. Annoyomous24 GO LAKERS! Please reply on my talk page. Thanks. 04:53, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • No, when you sort it, it puts managers who have served more than one term together. When you sort the number column, it should sort the same way as the year column, essentially, so it puts them back in the correct order. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on!

If you look at my other FLC, List of Boston Red Sox managers, you'll see that is it sorted that way, but since you want it to be unsortable, I unsorted the column. -- K. Annoyomous24 GO LAKERS! Please reply on my talk page. Thanks. 21:57, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, that one should be unsorted too, because I just checked it, and you are right, it doesn't sort properly. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 22:09, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm interested -- Where did you find the references that date back to 1979 and 1980?
You'd have to ask maclean on that. -- K. Annoyomous24 GO LAKERS! Please reply on my talk page. Thanks. 09:14, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Through Canadian Newsstand database accessed (remotely) through a library. I can email any of the articles to you. maclean 00:17, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No need, I'll trust you on it. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 00:36, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref 18 needs typing out in normal writing instead of ALL CAPS. It's in one of the Mos subpages.

  • Please make sure that the names of the newspapers used in references are entered under the "work=" field, rather than "publisher=" or "id=" fields of {{cite news}}. This will italicize them. As well as that, dates should be entered using the ISO 8601 format. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 00:36, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done the cite news problem. I don't see any ISO 8601 problems on the reference. Tell me if I'm blind. -- K. Annoyomous24 GO LAKERS! Please reply on my talk page. Thanks. 00:42, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Actually there was only one publication date that I saw that was in ISO 8601 format. The dates should match. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 01:53, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
DONE! Sorry for the misunderstanding. -- K. Annoyomous24 GO LAKERS! Please reply on my talk page. Thanks. 02:05, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Refs 2–16 in the "date=" fields should all be ISOs, per the documentation at {{cite news}}. I did it myself, so it's ok now Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 02:11, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
