I am renominating this article for featured list status because no one supported or opposed for this article and I hope for more comments. Annoyomous24 20:04, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments
    • "Starting 2005–06 season," isn't correct English, perhaps "Starting in the ..." DONE!
    • Quinn's second term isn't reflected in the Vancouver Canucks Head Coaches template. DONE!
    • Don't know why the note under the table has to be small. DONE!

  • "The Vancouver Canucks are a professional ice hockey team based in Vancouver, British Columbia. The team is a member of the Northwest Division in the Western Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). They play at the 18,630-capacity General Motors Place. The Canucks joined the NHL in 1970 as an expansion team along with the Buffalo Sabres. " four sentences that don't really flow well together. (They all begin with "The", "They", which causes lots of breaks when reading)
  • Please add references to the lead's first paragraph. There are a lot of facts there that should be referenced.

DONE ALL!
  • Comment
    • "2006–Present" in the Alain Vigneault row should be "2006–present"
DONE! –.– K. Annoyomous24 00:51, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • "Hockey=Fans.com" in reference #3 should be "Hockey-Fans.com"
DONE! –.– K. Annoyomous24 00:51, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Is www.hockey-fans.com a reliable source? I am not saying it is not, but just making sure.
I think so. –.– K. Annoyomous24 00:51, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Conditional support Like Crzycheetah said, it would be good to replace www.hockey-fans.com with a better one. But otherwise great list.—Chris! ct 02:15, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Conditional support The Hockey-Fans.com should be substituted because they state that "the information contained here is provided as is, with no warranties and may not be complete or correct." Also, the image caption says that Crawford was a head coach from 1998 while the table states from 1999.--Crzycheetah 01:17, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DONE! –.– K. Annoyomous24 02:22, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment The list looks great. I'm a disappointed in the lead section though. The first paragraph focuses too much on the general Canucks organization. I would like to see some narrative of coaching changes over time. I can do some work on this. -maclean 02:38, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I added a possible expansion to the lead in my sandbox here [2] It only goes back as far as 1996, though. What do people think? --maclean 05:46, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Well referenced with a good size lead. I would support. -Djsasso (talk) 20:13, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments - Not bad, but the prose could use a little polishing.
    • "The 18,630-capacity General Motors Place is where they play their home games." Howabout, "The Canucks currently play home games at the General Motors Place"? We're talking about coaches, we don't need to bee too specific about their arena.
    • "...head coaches in the Canucks franchise history" - "...in Canucks' franchise.."
    • "as an expansion team along with the" - "as and expansion team[comma] along..."
    • Move "Alain Vigneault is currently the head coach of the Canucks.[4]" to the end of the second paragraph. Keep history in 1st para, coaches in the 2nd.
    • The list itself looks good. Almost there. Blackngold29 04:46, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've done all of your requests. -- K. Annoyomous24 05:38, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Everything looks alright. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 08:36, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
