Premier League Player of the Season

Featured list candidates/Premier League Player of the Season/archive1

Nominator(s): Bloom6132 (talk) 02:32, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it has been improved significantly from the original list over the last week and now meets all 6 FL criteria. —Bloom6132 (talk) 02:32, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments: picture of Thierry is the same as on the Golden Boot, perhaps show a different pic/Ronaldo?

C. Ronaldo's pic is already shown next to the winners' table. And that pic of Henry is, IMO, the "least bad quality" image of him in an Arsenal home shirt. —Bloom6132 (talk) 16:36, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Paragraph 2 is pretty similar to the one at the Golden Boot, was it copied?

Yes, more or less. —Bloom6132 (talk) 16:36, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is talk page attribution not needed? Thanks, Mat ty.007 12:41, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's only two sentences that is necessary per WP:LIMITED. However, if it is needed (to be on the safe side), how is TP attribution done? —Bloom6132 (talk) 18:27, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You can go direct to the template if you want, but I just copy the one I used at Talk:The Boat Race 2000. Thanks, Mat ty.007 09:11, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Added. —Bloom6132 (talk) 16:50, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Ref(s)": not notes/references rather than an abbreviation? Thanks, Mat ty.007 15:58, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The abbreviation has been accepted in every FL I've nominated, from the Golden Boot one to my most recent FL. —Bloom6132 (talk) 16:36, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Sorry for the delay. Thanks, Mat ty.007 10:15, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comments: "an annual association football award presented to footballers in England" - repetition of "football" seems a bit redundant, maybe change "footballers" to "players"?

First two sentences are quite short and could easily be joined: ".....presented to players in England, which recognises....."

Done. —Bloom6132 (talk) 12:29, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"the Player of the Month and Player of the Season awards was only" - two awards mentioned, so "was" should be "were"

Fixed. —Bloom6132 (talk) 12:29, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"given to Blackburn Rovers striker Alan Shearer for winning the Premier League title and the Golden Boot" - is there a specific citation from the awarding panel that says that this was why he won the award? It may seem obvious, but unless it was specifically announced that he won the award for that specific reason, it would be OR to state it. Maybe replace with "given to Blackburn Rovers striker Alan Shearer, who won the Golden Boot that season and helped his team win the Premier League title"

Replaced. —Bloom6132 (talk) 12:29, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo and Nemanja Vidić have been Player of the Season on two occasions each – more than any other players" - I think this would read better as "Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo and Nemanja Vidić have been Player of the Season on two occasions each and are the only players to have won the award more than once"

Fixed. —Bloom6132 (talk) 12:38, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The lead talks about players who won the Golden Boot in the same season as this award, but they aren't highlighted in the table - is this worth including?

I don't think so – it's a fairly common occurrence (40% of the time) and in 1998 and 1999, the Golden Boot was shared among 3 players. —Bloom6132 (talk) 12:38, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Think that's it -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:50, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support - all looks good now -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:03, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Very well organized and very well-sourced list. --Carioca (talk) 19:45, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
