List of Silver Slugger Award winners at second base[edit]

Nominator(s): KV5 (Talk • Phils)
Toolbox

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe that it meets all of the FL criteria, etc. Article 3 in the forthcoming featured topic (see bottom of this page) on Silver Sluggers. All concerns to be addressed by me. Cheers. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 00:03, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - Looks quite nice and very similar to the first basemen list. I only have a few complaints:

  • Comma after "who played his entire career with the Houston Astros".
  • The year Cano set the batting average record is wrong in the lead.
  • "who won the award in the inaugural 1980 season". Move "inaugural" to before "award" so it doesn't sound like 1980 was the first MLB season.
  • Cheers, I was looking for a better way to say that. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 21:07, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be ready to support once these are done. Giants2008 (17-14) 20:19, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done all. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 21:07, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
With these done, I support. Wish every review was that quick. Giants2008 (17-14) 00:25, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • You spelled out the acronyms of the American League (AL) and National League (NL) in the lead, thus this either needs to be AL or NL through the other mentions of the Leagues, or remove the acronyms if you aren't gonna use it.
  • The acronyms are inserted for use in the captions; they don't have to be shortened at every single usage. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 22:57, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Um, you use some instances of the abbreviations and per MOS:ABBR If used, acronyms should be used consistently throughout the article.--Best, ₮RUCӨ 01:19, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is no requirement that acronyms always be used after first usage. The requirement is that usage is consistent, which it is. The acronyms are always used in the captions and never used in the prose. That's consistent. If I've missed one somewhere, please be kind enough to point it out to me.

  • Hmm, it must have been your other list.--Best, ₮RUCӨ 22:33, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please mention the most recent winners
  • They are mentioned in the table; the lead certainly has enough information to explain the list. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 22:57, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • The lead needs to summarize in terms of first/recent/most instances.--Best, ₮RUCӨ 01:19, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Its not a written rule, but over 95% of all FLs have this information, you have all of that but the recent ones, I don't see it as a big deal to add it.--Best, ₮RUCӨ 22:33, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • References and tables check out up to standards.--Best, ₮RUCӨ 21:59, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support -- All previous issues resolved; article now meets WP:WIAFL.--Best, ₮RUCӨ 23:38, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:37, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • "3 foot (91 cm) tall" "3 foot" should be hyphenated.
  • MOS:NUM says no. "Values and unit symbols are separated by a non-breaking space". KV5 (Talk • Phils) 11:49, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ah, but here we have a compound modifier. In the larger context, ("3 foot (91 cm) tall silver bat trophy"), "3 foot [...] tall" is a multi-word adjective for the trophy, so a hyphen should be used: "a 3-foot-tall (91 cm) silver bat trophy". If you don't like that, perhaps a total rephrase, perhaps " a silver bat trophy that is 3 feet tall (91 cm)". Dabomb87 (talk) 21:39, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Understood. Rewrite completed. If this is acceptable, let me know and I will make the change throughout the series. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 21:45, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • "winning one other "-->winning another
  • "among all second basemen" Consider the alternative modifiers; you couldn't possibly be saying "among some/none basemen". Dabomb87 (talk) 01:36, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:36, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
