I've listed List of Washington Redskins players for peer review for a third time because I finally think its near/ready for a Featured List nomination. Please let me know of any comments, critiques, or criticisms you may have.

Ruhrfisch comments: Looks pretty good, here are some suggestions for improvement for FLC.

  • I would make clear in the first sentence that the earlier teams are predecessors - provide context for the reader right away - see WP:PCR, perhaps This is a list of American football players who have played for the Washington Redskins, as well as its predecessors the Boston Braves (1932) and Boston Redskins (1933–1936), in the National Football League (NFL).
  • It includes players that have played at least five matches ... - why matches and not games?
  • I would make the notes a, b, c, d and not i, ii, iii, iv. The i looks like a 1 as a note.
  • Tweak sentence to something like In addition, the Heisman Trophy sculpture was modeled after Ed Smith in 1934 and he became a Redskins player in 1936.[8]
  • I like the background color scheme - is there a list of 70 Greatest Redskins Players to link to?
  • I use IE 7 and the pictures often seem slightly too wide - for example A and B have the pics first, with white space to the left, then the A and B lists after. Narrower pics work - so for C the pic of Laveranues Coles is the first to fit beside the table and the rest follow it. The C pictures before this do not fit and have white space beside them.
How would I go about fixing that? I use firefox So I cant see the problems.
I imagine it has something to do with the image widths - perhaps set the widths narrower? Could also ask at the Village Pump technical. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 20:04, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
fixed. Jwalte04 (talk) 07:11, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Some entries with no jersey number have a "–" like Benny LaPresta, others are blank like Dan Lewis. Be consistent.
As explained in one of the notes, The Skins didn't use numbers until the 1937 season. I used the "–" for players that played before '37, While the blanks are just players that I haven't numbers for yet. If anyone has a source for numbers for former players, I would much appreciate it.
I saw the note about numbers before 1937, but there was no explanation of blanks. Perhaps explain that in the notes too, or maybe replace the blank with a "?" or some other symbol. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 20:04, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Any reason the tables are not sortable?
I thought that since the letters aren't connected, making it sortable would be useless. There would be no point to being able to sort the players by "games played" if its already/exclusively sorted by letters.
OK< I just thought if someone wanted all the RBs with last name starting with M, for example... Your call Ruhrfisch ><>°° 20:04, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Surely there are some articles that could be listed under a See also section?
All the articles that I felt would be appropriate in See Also section were already present on the Redskins template.
OK Ruhrfisch ><>°° 20:04, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am impressed that there seem to be no red links, nice job and hope this helps, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 03:20, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for the tips, they were exactly what I was looking for! I would appreciate anymore that anyone has to give. Jwalte04 (talk) 04:25, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
