I've listed this article for peer review because I'm going to nominate it for featured list status soon, and I want some feedback to ensure a smooth FLC. Prose comments are always the most helpful for me, but all comments are appreciated.

Comments from KV5

I hate the Mets. Now that that is out of the way...

Some of us are Phillies fans, and some of us are Yankees fans who already got their favorite team's seasons list featured. :-)
  • "Founded in 1962, the Mets' 120 losses in their inaugural season, 1962," - redundant, remove second 1962
    • Can't believe I missed that while writing the lead. Done.
  • "based in Flushing, Queens, New York City" - why isn't NYC linked?
    • Does something as basic as New York City really need a link? I'd like to think that most people in the world know what New York City is by now. If not, they can just find a link through the Flushing article.
  • "After previously playing at the Polo Grounds and Shea Stadium, the team's current home stadium is Citi Field.[1]" - I might consider a reword here; i.e., "The team's current home stadium is Citi Field, after playing xx years at the Polo Grounds and xx years at Shea Stadium."
    • Did it your way. It is better to have the number of seasons at each stadium.
  • "in what was called the 'Subway Series'."
    • Done
  • "As of 2009," can be removed.
    • Done too.
  • Needs a note that stats are only current through 2008.
    • Placed one at the top. See if you think it's better there or the bottom.
  • Per WP:BOLDFACE, bold shouldn't be used in the table as an indicator (I like it too, but it's against the rule. I have to go change Phillies seasons eventually too).
    • When did that become a rule? Or is it only now being enforced? In any case, it's gone now. The color and symbol will have to do.
  • I really think that the sort functions in the table detract from its visual appeal. It makes the columns really wide.
    • I'd really like to keep the sorting because it's so useful, especially in a list like this. If you wanted to see what their five best or worst seasons are, it's much easier to use the sort function than read the whole list. I think part of the problem before was that the columns weren't properly centered. I found a missing quotation mark and fixed it. That alone makes the presentation look much better.
  • No spaces between symbols and their entries.
  • "New York Mets regualr season record" - regular
    • I'm good for at least one typo per FLC attempt. Got it.
  • Sorting doesn't work right on GB column. You're going to need a hidden sortkey for every entry (em-dashes should sort as zero).
    • Took me some work, but I figured out how to get it to sort properly.
  • Same for Finish column.
    • This also sorts correctly now.

I will come back for further review later, but that should get you started. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 15:37, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Whenever you're ready, please come back for another look. Giants2008 (17-14) 18:56, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
