Wikipedia:Peer review/List of New York Yankees owners and executives/archive1
This peer review discussion has been closed.
I'm thinking this page is ready to be a featured list, but I could use a peer review to tell me what, if anything, needs to be fixed about this page first.

Brianboulton comments:-
- General: A featured list requires rather more text than this. The lead should properly introduce the various tables that follow. For example, a couple of questions immediately arise: who or what are the "Baltimore Orioles"? And what was the management arrangement before the appointment of the first General Manager in 1921?
- Organisation: Why are three different formats used for the three main lists? "Team owners" are shown in a plain chronological list; "General Managers" are shown, chronologically, in a tabulated list; "Other executives" are shown in an alphabetical, untabulated list.
- What are the unexplained complications which occur at the bottom of the Team owners list?
- Use of bolding for emphasis or highlighting is contrary to MOS
- In the General Managers list, the first column, according to the key, is "Number of general managers". Did these managers have official numbers, like US presidents, or are these merely the numbers for the purpose of this list? If the latter, the key should be changed.
- Why are the years in the General Managers table wikilinked?
- The figures in the "Win%" column are not percentages.
- Just a note: Presenting winning percentage as a three-point decimal is an accepted standard in baseball statistics, as well as fielding percentage. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 22:49, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
- What were the criteria for including officials in the "Other executives" list?
- Abbreviations such as "ass't" should not be used.
A fair amount of work will be necessary to bring this up to standard. I recommend that you carefully look at some the existing sporting featured lists, to get a better idea of the organization and presentation that is required with such lists. Brianboulton (talk) 21:28, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you very much. --Muboshgu (talk) 13:28, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
Comment Precedent shows that these lists could be merged into the managers list, a la List of Pittsburgh Pirates managers and owners. Why not do that here? Dabomb87 (talk) 22:57, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
