Silver Slugger list #5. Info on proposed FT: click here, scroll to bottom. Comments to be addressed: promptly, by the nominator. Cheers. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 17:27, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment -- It seems like the suggestions from previous FLC's have been integrated here, and thus I cannot find any errors
but one. Its not clarified as to who was the first winner of the award in the lead.--Best, ₮RUCӨ 00:41, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- It's not in the other lists either, unless they hold some kind of record. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 11:43, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh okay, looks up to speed. Support--Best, ₮RUCӨ 20:30, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- One minor comment that applies to all of the lists. I was going to bring this up when I reviewed one of these lists, but I never got round to doing so. I'm away from tomorrow so if I don't say this now i'll probably forget forever. It might be a pain to fix but, in the references, the websites are not works and should not be italicised. This got brought up at an FAC nom of mine recently and I was advised to remove the work field completely if it was just a website, because the websites are obvious from the url and shouldn't be italicised. Good luck with the rest of the topic, at the rate you've been going it will be finished by the time I get back! Rambo's Revenge (ER) 21:18, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- When did this get changed? We've been using websites as works for quite some time now. If there's going to be a change, then there needs to be a discussion on it between FA and FL reviewers. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 18:40, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Italics should only be used for printed publications, such as reference 15 (Sports Illustrated). As an FAC reviewer, I can confirm that has been the case since I began reviewing. There's a good chance that FLC has gotten this wrong all along, and I've never liked using italics in my own work. Giants2008 (17-14) 23:03, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- There's also a chance that FAC could be wrong. From WP:CITE:
Citations for world wide web articles (for reliable sources such as the Australian War Memorial) typically include:
- the name of the author or authors,
- the title of the article in quotes,
- the name of the website (linked to a Wikipedia article about the site if it exists, or to Website's "about page"),
- date of publication,
- page number(s) (if applicable),
- the date you retrieved it (invisible to the reader if the article has a date of publication),[dubious – discuss]
- an optional short quote (used rarely, if the source is likely to be challenged)
- The name of the website in the URL is rarely visible because of the
|title=
parameter, so the name of the website is necessary. Indeed, it's also necessary for the Baseball-Reference site, because the publisher and work are different. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 00:30, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]- "the name of the website" is what calls for a publisher. It doesn't say anywhere that a work field has to be filled out as well. Of course, it does come in handy in some situations, and I wouldn't oppose over it, but I'm not a fan of putting a lot of extra info in the cite templates myself. Giants2008 (17-14) 21:41, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, the only times that they are disambiguated here is when the website name/work is different from the publisher. For example, Sports Illustrated and Louisville Slugger not disambiguated, but Baseball-Reference/Sports Reference LLC and Brewers.MLB.com/Major League Baseball are. Just so happens that a lot are from B-R. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 21:46, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Not worried about the ref formatting too much, and everything else looks fine. Another great baseball award list. Giants2008 (17-14) 23:40, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
