I am nominating this for featured list because it is a full and thorough list which is fully referenced and I believe it meets (or is on the cusp of meeting) the criteria to become a featured list. Uhooep (talk) 08:55, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Rodw[edit]

I never knew UEA had such an illustrious list of alumni. A few comments:

Lead

  • Would it be worth saying which country it is in as you mention "foreign nations" later.
  • It might also be saying how long UEA has existed (ie cince 1963) to give some context

List

  • You use lots of abbreviations in the "Class year" column. I am familiar with BA, MA, BSc, PGCE, PhD but others might not be so a key to these abbreviations or suitable wikilink might help. ARE as a class is beyond me.
  • In "sport" you wikilink England for the rugby team but in some sections there are others (eg BBC, Sky Sports) which could be wikilinked but are not - I don't quite understand the rationale.
  • You have "&" in a couple of the sub head titles. I thought the MOS encouraged writing "and" in full

Layout

  • On my screen the Notability column is very wide (wider than the text) but the name and Class year columns quite narrow which means that they take up more than one line in some cases.
  • Some sections have lots of photos others (eg Arts Administrators) don't have any

References

  • It is good that there is a reference per line however many of them (eg 27, 28, 29, 30 etc etc) are "bare URLs" it would be better to include the title, name, date accessed etc in each.
  • Ref 18 appears to be a web citation but has no URL.
  • Ref 27 (mathiascorman) gives a 404 error
  • Ref 36 (ethiopianwomen) gives a 404
  • Ref 165 (netcomunity) gives a file type error - but I'm not sure why
  • The CAPITALISATION of who's who entries makes them stand out from the other entries.

Hope these comments are helpful.— Rod talk 15:33, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A couple more thoughts:

  • I note your user page just consists of a link to Tamara Ingram. If you (User:Uhooep) are Tamara Ingram you should be aware of the potential Conflict of interest in editing a page on which you appear. I'm not Tamara Ingram, I just created a red link on by userpage prior to creating a stub about her.
  • It also appears you are quite a new editor and have only edited this list in the last couple of weeks. I was wondering whether you had discussed the nomination with other editors of the article in line with the featured list candidate instructions, which say "Ones who are not significant contributors to the list should consult regular editors of the list before nomination."?

Perhaps you could clarify.— Rod talk 15:42, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Uhooep, these comments have been unanswered, and undealt with, for a month. If you do not address them in the next 24 hours, I'll presume the nomination has been withdrawn. - SchroCat (talk) 22:38, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
