• Featured list candidates/Norm Smith Medal/archive1

Nominator(s): Allied45 (talk) 08:42, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

The Norm Smith Medal is a prestigious award in the Australian Football League (AFL), given to the best player in the annual AFL Grand Final to decide the season's premiership (i.e. "championship", "title-winner" etc.). As well as meeting the FL criteria, I believe this list would help lift the standard of similar AFL-related lists, as currently within the AFL WikiProject there is only one featured list (out of 350+ total). I am determined to help increase the amount of featured content relating to AFL, so any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated — Allied45 (talk) 08:42, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

:Hi Allied45, great work on this list. Looking forward to seeing more AFL content here at FLC. Please find my comments below: Lead The Victorian Football League was established in 1897 add ref and link 1897 VFL season and the competition has been known as the Australian Football League since 1990 add ref and link 1990 AFL season To determine the premiers each season, a Grand Final has been held every year since 1898. add ref and link 1898 VFL Grand Final a former six-time premiership coach for Melbourne add ref only four players have received the award as members of the losing teams add ref Link all the years in the second paragraph Include the Hawthorn players have won the award the most times Include that the grand final is played at the MCG Include the most recent winner, Dustin Martin Infobox Refs required first awarded and most recent winner Images All image captions require a ref Multiple winners table sorting by player needs fixing Table of clubs' totals Thoughts adding Univeristy and adding note saying they played in the VFL from 1908–1914? Notes All notes require a ref References Ref 6 – archive link missing Ref 7 – archive link missing Ref 9 – author link Emma Quayle Ref 11 – author link Warwick Green Ref 13 – author link Rohan Connolly Ref 30 – add agency=AAP Ref 34 – add agency=AAP Ref 37 – add agency=AAP Ref 42 – author link Mark Stevens (footballer)?? Bibliography author link Jim Main Cheers – Ianblair23 (talk) 02:00, 22 July 2018 (UTC) Thanks for the thorough review Ianblair23, much appreciated. I have now actioned all your suggestions for the list (except adding an author link for Mark Stevens as I am not confident it is the same person). Please note there is one ref to cover both the VFL and AFL establishment dates of 1897 and 1990, and I have included extra information regarding the venue of the Grand Final as it has not quite been held at the MCG every year. Hopefully everything is now up to scratch though! – Allied45 (talk) 10:08, 22 July 2018 (UTC) It turns out it is indeed a different Mark Stevens according to his LinkedIn profile. – Ianblair23 (talk) 13:01, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

• Support – Fantastic job Allied45! Cheers – Ianblair23 (talk) 13:24, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Comments – I only have a couple of nit-picks after reading through the list.

• "and again in 1991 where it was played at Waverley Park." "where" should be "when" since this refers to a year, not a place.
• In reference 31, the p. should be pp., since it is a multiple-page cite. Changing the page= parameter of the cite template to pages= will fix this for you. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:35, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

Both resolved (also corrected reference 34, which had the same issue), thanks for looking over the list for me Giants2008! – Allied45 (talk) 10:28, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Support – All of my concerns have been addressed. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:05, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

*I'd move the photograph of Dustin Martin to the infobox, seeing as he is the most recent recipient of the award. If possible, an additional image or two would further improve the visual appeal. (with the exception of 1924) – I wouldn't put this in parentheses, and I feel like a further explanation is warranted. Paul Chapman became the first player to win on a countback in 2009 – how many have done so since? Prior to the 2016 season, if the Grand Final resulted in a draw, the game would be replayed the following week. – and since then? Denotes player who was in losing team should be copyedited for grammar. The "Ref" column should be Ref, using the {{abbr}} template. , with players' clubs is superfluous and should be removed. Multiple winners should be "Players with multiple wins". By club should be "Club totals". In the club table, the wrong footnote is linked for Collingwood and St Kilda. TompaDompa (talk) 19:31, 14 August 2018 (UTC) Thanks for the comments TompaDompa, I have implemented your suggestions if you would like to have a quick look? – Allied45 (talk) 10:28, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
