  • Comment - Does the references have to keep being linked again and again? Using the same reference like crazy is an eyesore.Mitch32(UP) 18:09, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't really get what you mean... -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 21:20, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
He means, why do you wikilink every publisher in the references.--SRX 22:29, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Because there is an article about the publisher? -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 22:54, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Its really about personal choice, so that shouldn't prevent it from becoming an FL.--SRX 23:20, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I hope you are correct, because some reviewers insist that every instance should be linked, since you do not know which particular footnote a reader will be looking at. Rlendog (talk) 16:58, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I wikilinked all the publishers. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 02:50, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • The Washington Nationals are members of the National League (NL) East Division in Major League Baseball (MLB). - well this is where they work, but in this sentence, it should be stated what they do and what they are, i.e. a baseball franchise.
  • I also don't understand why in the key GM stands from "Regular seasons managed" it doesn't add up, can you elaborate? The G just puzzles me.
  • The # Column should be sortable.
There is no use for it to be sortable, since the list is already sorted by #. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 22:52, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The lead should also be expanded like in other FL's of this subject. I.e. +where they play, who is the teams owner.
It already says where they play. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 22:52, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - My review was resolved to comply with WP:WIAFL.--SRX 23:20, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Resolved comments by NatureBoyMD
    • "There have been 12 different managers in their franchise history." Either drop the "their" or make it "franchise's".
    • "The Nationals are currently owned by Ted Lerner, with Jim Bowden as their general manager.[4]" Per WP:DATED
    • Link "general manager" to General manager (baseball)
    • On a related note, since you mention the GM, it would be great to include a GM table too.
    The article isn't called List of Washington Nationals managers and general managers. Also, I didn't mention anything about general managers, I only mentioned about the Nationals executives, which includes the owner and general manager. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 00:56, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Acta is the current manager of the Nationals. Per WP:DATED
    • It should be "winning percentage", not "Win–Loss percentage", since it only represents the percentage of games won.
    • In the table, Gene Mauch has an asterisk by his name, but isn't shaded in green.
    Image captions:
    • "Manny Acta is the manager of the Nationals since 2007." → "Manny Acta has been the manager of the Nationals since 2007." or "Manny Acta has managed the Nationals since 2007."
    • "Felipe Alou (right), shown with the San Francisco Giants, have managed ten seasons with the Expos."
    • "Frank Robinson, shown with the San Francisco Giants, have managed five season with the Expos." Also, add an "s" to seasons. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 00:32, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    DONE everything without comments. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 00:56, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Just a few more...
    • You still need to change "season" to "seasons" in the Frank Robinson image caption.
    • "W–L%" in the table header & key should be changed to either "Win %" or "WPct" to reflect the "winning percentage" comment above. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 03:06, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    DONE all. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 06:58, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Support Meets all criteria. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:25, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
