Nominator(s): The1337gamer (talk) 20:23, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Valve is one of the most the distinguished developers in the gaming industry. After rewriting this list from scratch, it has gone from 1 reference to 134. The list is now comprehensive, covering all the games they have released to date along with information on a number of cancelled projects. --The1337gamer (talk) 20:23, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Golbez

• A few notes:
  • Does the first entry in a list need a note saying it's the first entry? :)

Removed this. --The1337gamer (talk) 17:24, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• • TFC is noted as a remake of a mod whose devs were hired by Valve. But CS just says "mod." I know it wasn't a remake, but were its devs hired by Valve? How did this mod, which originally came out before 2000, end up as a Valve product released in 2000? Likewise, Day of Defeat.

Added that DoD and CS devs were hired by Valve. --The1337gamer (talk) 17:24, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• • A lot of games lack genre. For example, Counter-Strike Neo is a blacklinked arcade game, so there's no indication as to what kind of game it is. I mean, based on my concept of arcade games it would seem to not be an online multiplayer first-person shooter, so what is it?

It is an online multiplayer first-person shooter that's available in Japaneses arcades. I didn't feel like it was necessary to restate genres for spin-offs/sequels if they were the same as the original game. Do you want me to state it? Which other games should I do that for? --The1337gamer (talk) 17:24, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. That one's tough, because I would say an online first-person shooter *arcade* game is pretty rare, and since it's a blacklink there's nowhere to go for more info on the gameplay except the source. But... since it's Counter-Strike, we can assume in the absence of other notes that it's the same type of gameplay.

• • Likewise, "multiplayer game" is a bit lacking in detail for Ricochet.

I'll write a description on this later. There's not a whole lot of coverage on Ricochet. --The1337gamer (talk) 17:24, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think what you put works.

• • So this might just be me, but I'm curious about "Arcade". Is that a platform? Or should we be more specific and say, for Counter-Strike Neo, that it's on the Namco System N2, and for Left 4 Dead Survivors, it's apparently the Taito Type X3 but this is stupidly difficult for me to source. I dunno if this is needed, but as an arcade geek it would make me happy. :P Especially since they're blacklinks so there's no further place to find info on them on Wikipedia. This isn't needed, since it may be a style change, but I wanted to bring it up. --Golbez (talk) 17:26, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Typically we list "Arcade" as a platform in video game infoboxes rather than which particular board/system it is. So I think that convention should carry over to lists. I would add the system/board information to the notes but just like you I'm unable to source L4D Survivors system. --The1337gamer (talk) 06:29, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• That's all for now. --Golbez (talk) 12:52, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry for the delay in responding, and a few extra notes above. Thanks! And btw Support since my new request is optional. --Golbez (talk) 17:26, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. --The1337gamer (talk) 06:29, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Cognissonance

• Isn't it a wiki-rule that all images be reduced in size? File:Valve logo.svg is pretty big.

Only non-free images have to be low resolution to comply with WP:NFCC. Images from Wikimedia Commons can be high resolution. --The1337gamer (talk) 21:53, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• "Valve Corporation is an American video game developer and publisher founded in 1996 by Gabe Newell and Mike Harrington and is currently based in Bellevue, Washington." – The sentence might flow better with the first "is" covering the entire sentence's verb use, making "and is" obsolete.
• intellectual properties – Link to Intellectual property.
• The list itself is interesting and comprehensive.
• "as the latter gained traction" – Was confused when I read it about which of them was the latter. Perhaps clarify that it was Half-Life.
• "Untitled RPG – A fantasy, action role-playing game" – For simple continuity, I would have written the genre with "Untitled role-playing game (RPG)" before using the abbreviation.
• If there is more information at all about the cancelled games, I suggest adding it. No stone left unturned.

• Overall:

1. Prose. It features professional standards of writing.
Y
2. Lead. It has an engaging lead that introduces the subject and defines the scope and inclusion criteria.
Y
3. Comprehensiveness.
   • (a) It comprehensively covers the defined scope, providing at least all of the major items and, where practical, a complete set of items; where appropriate, it has annotations that provide useful and appropriate information about the items.Y
   • (b) In length and/or topic, it meets all of the requirements for stand-alone lists; does not violate the content-forking guideline, does not largely duplicate material from another article, and could not reasonably be included as part of a related article.Y
4. Structure. It is easy to navigate and includes, where helpful, section headings and table sort facilities.
Y
5. Style. It complies with the Manual of Style and its supplementary pages.
   • (a) Visual appeal. It makes suitable use of text layout, formatting, tables, and colour; and a minimal proportion of items are redlinked.Y
   • (b) Media files. It has images and other media, if appropriate to the topic, that follow Wikipedia's usage policies, with succinct captions. Non-free images and other media satisfy the criteria for the inclusion of non-free content and are labeled accordinglyY
6. Stability. It is not the subject of ongoing edit wars and its content does not change significantly from day to day, except in response to the featured list process.

• Support. Cognissonance (talk) 21:09, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Made the suggested changes. The1337gamer (talk) 21:53, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Support my concerns addressed. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:06, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Support: With that, I am endorsing Featured List status for this page. DARTHBOTTO _talk•cont 10:32, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I gave some pointers on this list back in February, so I've stayed away from this nomination... and now I'm the only closer left available. C'est la vie. Anyways, this has fulfilled all the potential that was there 4 months ago in userspace, and the source review passes, so promoting! Congrats, you're the first editor of a Video game FL since October 2016! --PresN 03:26, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator(s): Bloom6132 (talk) 22:09, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it has been improved significantly from the original version and now meets all 6 FL criteria. This list is largely modelled after the Emirates Cup, which was promoted almost a year ago. —Bloom6132 (talk) 22:09, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Support my concerns addressed, nice work. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:26, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Support pending one niggle - in the notes section, you have "The three clubs are selected according to their position in the league table. One of the teams selected achieved the top five, the other team finished in sixth to tenth place, while the final team placed in the 11–15 position" (all three number ranges should be words or numbers. My vote would be to make the last words as well ("eleventh to fifteenth") but not fussed the other way. Otherwise I can't see anything to complain about WRT comprehensiveness or prose. A nice little read. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 01:13, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Thanks, Casliber. Fixed the note with your recommended wording. —Bloom6132 (talk) 01:48, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Harrias ^talk

• "in another in" is a little clunky – could it just be "again".

• Fixed. —Bloom6132 (talk) 18:34, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• "was dismal" is not really encyclopaedic language; using "dismal" like this is quite informal.

• Changed to "underwhelming". —Bloom6132 (talk) 18:34, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

More to follow. Harrias ^talk 11:31, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• The archived version of Ref #4 doesn't work for me. (The original does.)
• Same for ref #7.
• And ref #8.
• And ref #13.
• And ref #14.
• And ref #19.
• And ref #20.
• And ref #28.
• And ref #30.
• And ref #33.
• And ref #34.
• And ref #42.
• And ref #43.

• Since Wayback has proved to be unreliable in this case, I've archived all the above refs with WebCite. —Bloom6132 (talk) 12:50, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Ref #39 needs to be marked as subscription only, as even through the wayback machine, all I get is a single paragraph, before being redirected to a visitor landing page. Harrias ^talk 07:44, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• @Harrias: Marked. That's strange because, other than me having to close a notice telling me to disable my ad-blocker, the article works fine for me (a non-subscriber). —Bloom6132 (talk) 12:50, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• @Harrias: Thanks for the review; I've addressed all the comments above. Please let me know if there's anything else for me to fix. —Bloom6132 (talk) 21:28, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Support; all my (minor) concerns have been resolved, and this is a nice piece of work which meets the criteria. Harrias ^talk 16:26, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Quick comment – My only nitpick is the repetition in the lead photo caption: "Chelsea celebrate with the trophy after winning the 2011 Premier League Asia Trophy." I know the name of the event makes it tough, but they're celebrating with the trophy after winning the trophy. Chopping "with the trophy" gets rid of the redundancy while getting the point across. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:23, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• @Giants2008: I've replaced "celebrate with the trophy" with "celebrate with the tournament cup". Will that be alright? I can change "tournament" to "competition" if it sounds better. —Bloom6132 (talk) 21:54, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This article provides a listing of the notable awards and nominations received by the 2013 Indian Tamil period drama film, Paradesi starring Atharvaa and Vedhika. This film is notable for garnering its cast and crew members several awards and nominations. It is my fifth attempt at a accolades FLC. Any constructive comments to improve this list are most welcome.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 08:31, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Kailash

• the cinematography and editing were respectively handled by Chezhiyan and Kishore Te. "respectively" may come last.
• Anything more formal and non-biased than "in a hellish manner"?
• You could add the INR Convert template for ₹400 million, or a note regarding the exchange rate (wish INR Convert was always accurate).
• When you say the film was nominated for/won x number of awards, major ones (producing, directing, acting and writing) should always be mentioned. I don't see the lead mentioning Vedhika being nominated for Best Actress at Filmfare, or Atharvaa being nominated for Best Actor at Vijay.
• Poornima Ramasamy won for Best Costume Design at the 60th National Film Awards - could you say "At the 60th National Film Awards, Poornima Ramasamy won in the category for Best Costume Design"? --Kailash29792 (talk) 11:11, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Kailash29792: I have hopefully resolved your comments. Do let me know if there's anything else. Thanks.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 11:40, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and this FLC has my support. Kailash29792 (talk) 11:51, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Kailash29792: Thank you very much, Kailash. Your thoughts and comments are greatly appreciated.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 15:27, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - It's hardly been three days since your last nomination. Also, the unwritten rule is that a nomination must have a minimum of three supports with no outstanding concerns. —Vensatry _(talk) 11:46, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Vensatry: why don't you review Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Hong Kong Film Award for Best Actress/archive1? This one has received only 2 reviews in the past 3 months. --Skr15081997 (talk) 12:43, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Vensatry: My other nomination now has 4 supports. Feel free to leave comments in both.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 05:30, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Aoba47

• Could you possibly clarify "a degrading manner"? As someone who not seen this film, I am not certain what you mean by this as it sounds a little vague. Are you referring to an extreme mistreatment akin to slavery or is it something different? Some additional context would be helpful in this case.

Yes, it is slavery. I have added a bit more.

• Do you have any information on the box office of the film (how much it made) as it would be helpful to get some sort of number to show how it "failed to recover its production costs"? If it is unavailable, then it is fine as it currently stands.

Unfortunately, it is unavailable. If it were, I would have put it up before.

Wonderful job as always. I only have two very minor clarification questions/suggestions. Once they are addressed, I will support this. Aoba47 (talk) 19:54, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The prose looks good. Just have a minor comment for a reference: unless the article was originally published by IANS, I would remove it from reference 12. – FrB.TG (talk) 17:28, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@FrB.TG: I couldn't get the original IANS source though as the links die quite quickly.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 17:41, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@FrB.TG: Done. Replaced with another source.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 18:10, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Spot-checks

• The first reference never really directly mentions the release year.

Added another reference that does so.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 15:28, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Ref. 2 mentions a certain Uday Karthik in the cast, is her of any importance?

He's paired with Riythvika in the film and doesn't really have much to do. He doesn't have a Wikipedia article. Included him though.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 15:28, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Ref. 8 says that the film failed at BO, but never mentions anything about not being able to recover it's production costs.

Tweaked the sentence.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 15:28, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The table looks good. Fine work, as always. NumerounovedantTalk

This article provides a listing of the notable awards and nominations received by the 2014 Indian Tamil drama film, Madras starring Karthi and Catherine Tresa. This film is notable for garnering its cast and crew members several awards and nominations. It is my fourth attempt at a accolades FLC.

Comments from Pavanjandhyala

Finished watching the film just now. Found it slightly melodramatic, but that's okay. Well, on a formal note, i am going into the comments.

• "It was produced by K. E. Gnanavel Raja under his banner Studio Green" -- I suggest you opt for "It was produced by K. E. Gnanavel Raja's Studio Green company". Not really adamant on this.

Good call anyhow. Changed as per your suggestion.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 07:27, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• I would have objected the listing of so many supporting characters, but they are integral to the plot. So, it works for me.
• "The musical score was composed by Santhosh Narayanan while the cinematography and editing were respectively handled by Murali G and Praveen K. L.." -- Two points here.

• What do you mean to say by musical score? Madras had no songs?

Changed to "soundtrack and score".

• Please either introduce the editor first or write it as K. L. Praveen. Watching two fullstops back to back is sort of weird.

Praveen K. L. is his name and that's how it is listed in the credits. I don't know why he calls himself that.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 07:27, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• "Released on 26 September, Madras received positive critical feedback and box office success, becoming one of the most successful Tamil films of that year." -- We already know it is 2014. Why "that year" and why not "the year"?

Done. As asked.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 07:27, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• "The film garnered awards and nominations in several categories, with particular praise for its direction, screenplay, performances of the cast members, music, and cinematography." -- If i give up writing and sound design, almost every department of the film is here. Add writing as a key aspect of direction and screenplay. Let us assume that the sound designer will work along with the music director. Now, what is the use of "particular" here?

Its actually to specify that the crew under their respective categories/professions are appreciated for their work on the film. But since you mentioned that almost every department of the film is here, which is correct, I have removed "particular".  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 07:27, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Not compulsory, but numbers above ten are not usually written in words. We can use numbers.
• In the last paragraph of the lead, except for Filmfare, i see you mention the heroine's last name. We introduced her in the lead. Why write Catherine Tresa again for Filmfare? Tresa is enough, isn't it?

Good point. Changed as per your suggestion.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 07:27, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• We get that Madras is a Tamil film. Why mention Tamil in Filmfare awards? It is for granted that Tamil awards are given to Tamil actors, actresses and technicians. Please remove the word to avoid repetition; i see that everything is appropriately pipelinked there.

Changed as per your suggestion.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 07:27, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Same for South. It is given only to one among the four industries and it is mentioned that the ceremony was Filmfare awards south.

Changed as per your suggestion.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 07:27, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• "At the 9th Vijay Awards, it was nominated in fifteen categories and won in three..." -- Why "in" here? any featured inspiration?

Tweaked the sentence.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 07:27, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• I don't see this as a deliberate error. But read this line once: "Among other wins, the film received seven Ananda Vikatan Cinema Awards, six South Indian International Movie Awards and four Edison Awards." SIIMA ws mentioned above, wasn't it? Why again?

Good point. Changed as per your suggestion.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 07:27, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Sources and Dablinks are fine.
• To be honest, i should not comment on the image (as it was uploaded by me). But, given that many follow Bollywood Hungama's template and upload similar files in commons, i take the liberty to say the image is fine considering that an administrator/reviewer (Vensatry in this case) has verified it.

Okay. These comments are a result of an unbiased assessment of this list made by me to the best of my knowledge and skills with a sane mind. I expect the contributor or his friends or anyone in such capacity to resolve these comments or provide a proper explanation. I shall return in three days and am hopeful that the comments shall be addressed by then. Regards, ** Pavan Jandhyala ** 17:05, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Pavanjandhyala: I have hopefully resolved your comments, Pavan. Do let me know if there's anything at all. Thank you.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 07:27, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Three days have passed and all my concerns have been addressed. The list has my support. Regards, ** Pavan Jandhyala ** 07:40, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Aoba47

• I will support this nomination. Thank you for addressing my comments. It is okay if you cannot help with my FAC, but your reasoning is a little weird to me, especially when you post a request for me to review this out of the blue and I did the review even though I am completely unaware of the subject matter. Again, it is fine if you are unable to do the review, but your exact rationale seems a little hypocritical to me. Aoba47 (talk) 13:32, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Aoba47: Thank you very much though, Aoba47. Your thoughts and comments are greatly appreciated.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 14:42, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

• "The film's story revolves around Kaali (Karthi), an impulsive and short-tempered IT professional who lives in the Vyasarpadi area of Chennai. His friend Anbu (Kalaiyarasan) is killed in the midst of a feud between two factions of a political party over a building wall at one of the housing board apartments in the area. When Kaali hears of this, he decides to avenge Anbu's death." A little too detailed for an accolades list to be honest. How about something shorter like: "The film's story revolves around Kaali (Karthi), an impulsive ... Chennai. When his friend is killed amid a feud between two politicians, he decides to avenge his death"?

@FrB.TG: This is what Aoba47 asked me to do: Expand the plot for clarity. This is quite alright and anyways, the lead is not as big as La La Land's list (no offense).

None taken. Your reasoning makes sense, although the comparison to the La La Land list is not quite right because the musical has won many more awards than this film.

• The norm for film accolades list is that the plot is followed by the names of important cast members.

Done as asked.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 17:18, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Do we have the budget and box-office figures?

Kailash29792, please explain. Thank you.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 17:18, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't focus so much on finding definitive budget/BO figures for this film, as this is an awards list, not a fiscal list. And definitive data on budget/BO figures in Indian films are elusive. Just saying it was among the highest-grossing Tamil films of the year is enough I think. Kailash29792 (talk) 17:24, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not something that should be done but it would have been nice if we had the data.

• I would remove "As of 2017" as it is unlikely that the film will win more awards in the future.

Done as asked.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 17:18, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• "and Best Male Playback Singer (Pradeep Kumar)" - what song?

Done as asked. Added the song.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 17:18, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Skr15081997

• The titles in 12th and 13th refs can be changed to lowercase.
• Per the lead Pa. Ranjith won the Vijay Award for Best Director but the table doesn't support this statement.
• The above reviews have left nothing for me to comment on the prose quality.

Nice list. Good job on this one. --Skr15081997 (talk) 12:26, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

Looking good, just the one thing: why do we not have a reference for the critical response for the various aspects of the film? Rest looks fine. Good work. NumerounovedantTalk 07:07, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Numerounovedant: I actually meant that the awards went to those particular categories. Do you want me to rephrase it?  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 07:47, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I believe that would be better. NumerounovedantTalk 07:57, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Spot-checks

• Ref 1. does not name K. E. Gnanavel, nor does it give the release year (look further).

Done. As asked. Used another source.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 18:00, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Ref.2, 3, and 4 have no proper mention of any of the supporting​ actors. I am just not convinced with just the odd first/last names occurring here and there with contrived spellings. Is there no better source?

Tried everywhere but they don't mention the full names. Removed some of them for now. I'll re-add them if something comes up later perhaps.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 18:00, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Ref. 5 Same, it's astonishing how no source uses the full names, for all we know it can be any Praveen, Murali, Hari.

Used another one with the full names.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 18:00, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• None of the 6,7, and 8 references give a direct mention of the Indian release date.

@Numerounovedant: Reference no. 8 (10 now) shows the poster of Madras which states "from 26 September". Hopefully, that can be counted.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 18:00, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How about the bms source? NumerounovedantTalk 19:00, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Numerounovedant: Bookmyshow is deleted as it seems to be considered non-reliable. Better to go with IBTimes.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 07:49, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator(s): TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 00:24, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The 2016 Atlantic hurricane season was more eventful than the years that preceded it, to say the least. It was the costliest since 2012 and the deadliest since 2008, and featured more tropical storm landfalls on the United States than any season since 2008. It was perhaps most known for Hurricane Matthew, which caused hundreds of deaths and billions in damage along its path in October. After some work, I believe this timeline is now ready to be reviewed against the featured list criteria. :) TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 00:24, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Dudley

• "was also the deadliest since that year." Presumably deadliest in number of deaths but you should say so.
  • Reworded this sentence. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 22:45, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• The season began on 1 June and the first of the season was on 12 January? This sounds like a contradiction.
  • No contradiction. Alex formed January 12. The season officially began on June 1. In other words, Alex was quite a bit ahead of schedule. :) TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 22:45, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• I think "The first cyclone, Alex, developed on January 12, before the official start of the season" would be clearer. Dudley Miles (talk) 14:42, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• "In June, tropical storms Colin and Danielle became the earliest third and fourth named storms, respectively, on record." I do not understand this.
  • Colin, the third tropical storm of the year, formed earlier than any past seasons' third tropical storm. Same for Danielle. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 22:45, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Your wording here is clearer than in the article. Dudley Miles (talk) 14:42, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• "Hermine moved ashore the coastline of Florida as a Category 1 hurricane on September 2, ending the record hurricane drought that began in the state after 2005's Hurricane Wilma." Does this mean that no hurricane hit Florida for 11 years?
  • Correcto. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 22:45, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Hurricane Matthew caused $15 billion and 603 deaths. No change needed, but is this only notable in the cost but not the number of deaths?
  • Well, it's notable so I mentioned it accordingly. In terms of assigning a ranking like damage, no, Matthew was nowhere near the deadliest (over 27,500 deaths occurred in a hurricane in 1780). TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 22:45, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by 12george1

• You linked Tropical Storm Danielle, even though it doesn't have an article. If you did that with all of them, I'd be fine with it, but there's no link for storms like Fiona. Just delink Danielle. The other issue is that for Reference 2, the publisher indicates that it was the National Weather Service. However, it is not the American National Weather Service. It appears there is no article for the National Weather Service of the Cayman Islands. So I think you should either insert "|location=George Town, Cayman Islands", or added "Cayman Islands" in parenthesis after National Weather Service. I have no issues otherwise and will switch to support after these are taken care of--12george1 (talk) 15:44, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This my latest nomination of a list of Local Nature Reserves, and is in the same format as Cambridgeshire and Essex, which have passed FLC. Dudley Miles (talk) 14:48, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Support my concerns addressed. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:08, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Rodw Another interesting list. Just a few minor comments and questions:

• In the description of Farthinghoe Nature Reserve the word Landfill could be wikilinked as some readers may not know what this is.

• Done. Dudley Miles (talk) 14:07, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• The number of entries didn't match those at Category:Local Nature Reserves in Northamptonshire and it took me a while to work out that both "Hills and Holes" and "Scrub Filed" were pointing to Bradlaugh Fields, would it be worth mentioning in their descriptions that both are part of this same site?

• I have added an efn note. The only source which explains the position is a noticeboard on the site, and I have given this as the reference, but I do not know whether this is acceptable. It is unfortunate that an absurd Commons rule forbids uploading a photo of a noticeboard. Dudley Miles (talk) 14:07, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Is "Daventry Reservoir" mentioned in the description of Daventry Country Park the same as Drayton Reservoir? If not it should probably have a wp article at some point.

• They are different, and I cannot find reliable sources for a separate article on Daventry Reservoir, but I have created a redirect to the country park. Dudley Miles (talk) 14:07, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm not totally sure what the term "brick pit" means on Greens Norton Pocket Park. I'm guessing it was used for clay to make the bricks (in which case Clay pit might be more usual)

• Brick Pit is not a common term but there are several SSSIs called X Brick Pit. It seems to be more common in Australian sources. So far as I can discover, when it is defined it means a pit where clay is dug for bricks, except for a nineteenth century OED quote where it means a compost pit. I have piped brick pit to clay pit and added the alternative usage to the clay pit article with a citation to an NI offical source. Dudley Miles (talk) 14:07, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• How old is "ancient" on "Hills and Holes"? (Natural England says "between the Middle Ages and late 18th Century.")

• Changed to "This is a disused quarry which was operated during an unknown period between the Middle Ages and the late eighteenth century." Dudley Miles (talk) 14:07, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• On River Nene the "Brampton arm", mentioned in the description of Kingsthorpe Meadow, is called the Naseby Source or Brampton Nene - can we get consistency in naming?

• This is a difficult one. A google search shows that Brampton Arm is more common than Naseby Source or Brampton Nene, but some of the Brampton Arm reference are to "Church Brampton Arm" or "Westbridge Arm Junction Also known as the Brampton Arm". I am not sure whether all these refer to the same stretch of water. "Naseby Source" may be an error as it also means the source of the Warwickshire Avon in Naseby in Northants. This South Northamptonshire Council source implies that the Brampton Arm is a tributary of the Nene. Maybe just refer unspecifically to a tributary of the Nene? Dudley Miles (talk) 14:07, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• In my experience "Arm" tends to be used on a side branch of a (man made) canal rather than a river but it is possible it was given when the river was canalised.— Rod ^talk 14:27, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Apart from these minor queries the list is looking good.— Rod ^talk 07:53, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator(s): Jackdude101 (talk) 20:22, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because...it summarizes all of the rail transport installations currently and previously located in properties run or licensed by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts (the largest theme park chain in the world by annual attendance) and every data item on the list is referenced. Jackdude101 (talk) 20:22, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The sources look good, but I'm not a featured-nominations expert so someone would be better looking these over. However, I have two main issues:

Do you really need the lead image to be such a wide panoramic view? It might be better at the bottom of a section, like the Rail transport in Walt Disney Parks and Resorts#Walt Disney World section. You should add a lead image that doesn't need to be as wide. Like File:WDW MonorailRed ApproachingStation.jpg (not recommended) or File:Monorail Coral.jpg (slightly more recommended)

Also, the routemaps in the bottom of each section take up a whole lot of server space. It's fine to include routemaps—see Select Bus Service for an example of routemap implementation. But there are about 20 of them in this article. Putting the maps in the bottom of the section is better than putting them in the individual tables, but it's just that there are a lot of maps which, with the exception of {{Disneyland Resort Line}}, are located in the respective articles as well. (Also, {{Disneyland Resort Line}} and {{Disneyland Resort Line RDT}} look similar. I did see the TFD nomination, but I think it would be best to have one template that you can toggle based on the parameter.)

Overall though, everything else looks fine to me so far. Again, I'll have to take a look. epicgenius (talk) 19:22, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius: I'm fine with changing the lead image if you think that's going to be a deal breaker. In a perfect world, I would choose an image that has more than one Disney rail line in the same shot (the Disneyland Railroad and the Disneyland Monorail System criss-cross each other near Tomorrowland Station and from there you can take a picture of both at once, for example), but since no such image is available on the Wikimedia Commons, I'll just change it to another WDW Monorail image for now. As far as the route maps go, there are sixteen total and according to my edit from last year when I added them all at once, they each take up ~55 bytes of memory in the article (i.e.: not that much). The main reason why I included them in the article is so you can compare and contrast them all side-by-side without having to click back-and-forth between the individual articles. I also went out of my way to make all of the route diagrams uniform in size and style (I am the original author for all of them except for the WDW Monorail and the Disneyland Resort Line) specifically so that they would display nicely in this article. Notice for instance how all of them are exactly twelve pictograms high (that's not an accident). Jackdude101 (Talk) 5:17, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

@Jackdude101: Sounds good. The BS-maps can be easily modified to have one more blank line (just add a back-slash \ on its own line). Also, you can use {{Multiple image}} to add multiple images in the lead if you want to have both the monorail and railroad in the lead.

In regards to "server space," I'm not talking about how many bytes are in the string {{XYZ routemap}} if you actually add it to a page; I'm talking about the post-expand include size after all the templates are loaded. For example, the string {{Disneyland Monorail System}} is 30 bytes, but it may actually use up more CPU. Wikipedia has a restriction that when there are too many templates transcluded on a certain page, it will display a certain number of templates as normal until the limit is reached, then the remaining templates are displayed like wikilinks, like Template:Disneyland Monorail System instead of the actual template. That's what I'm concerned about—the fact that the routemaps may actually go over the template limit. This is not a major issue, but just something to keep in mind. epicgenius (talk) 14:17, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I actually discovered the route map template limit the hard way when I first added them. Originally, all of the Disney route diagrams were written using the old {{BS-map}} template and when all of them were included in the article, not all of them would display. So, I converted them all to the new {{Routemap}} template and now all of them display together correctly. The {{Routemap}} template appears to have resolved several of the techincal problems that the old {{BS-map}} template had. Jackdude101 (Talk) 11:00, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Jackdude101 this nomination has been stalled for six weeks now, have you pinged a few people/projects to see if anyone would be prepared to review the list? If nothing forthcoming soon, we'll need to archive the nomination as unsuccessful at this time. The Rambling Man (talk) 22:16, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: I messaged several people and task forces just now. My apologies. I am not very familiar with the nomination process for featured list status and thought that it would be similar to the good article status process, where you simply have to wait a few months for someone to come by and review it. Jackdude101 (Talk) 22:59, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It should be like that, but we tend allow nominations to persist for a few weeks without comments before archiving them for lack of interest. The Rambling Man (talk) 23:53, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Based on my comments above, I support the Featured List distinction. I'm the only !voter here, so not sure if this means much. epicgenius (talk) 12:55, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• @The Rambling Man: I made significant changes to the lead section since we last spoke (I changed the marking on the lead section issue above from partly done to done). When you have a moment, please review and indicate whether you support or oppose FL status for this article. Jackdude101 (Talk) 13:40, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  It's much better now, but as I'm an FLC delegate and as there looks to be sufficient interest here, I'll recuse from voting right now so that I'm in a better position to close the nomination as appropriate in due course. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:55, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 11:29, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

*On the subject of the intro, if you want to use that quotation from Walt Disney himself to provide some conext, then that's fine, but I would suggest using the format employed in, say, Terry-Thomas on screen, radio, stage and record or NME's Cool List and put it in a quote box under the lead image. In its current position, the quote breaks the flow of the lead and introduces some awkward whitespace.  Done "The following is a complete listing of..." – this entire sentence can be deleted. We shouldn't need to say that a list is complete; it's what our readers will be expecting anyway.  Done The notes in the right-most column that are single, incomplete sentences don't need terminating periods (i.e. these would be the sentences that begin "Based on the anthropomorphic...", "Replaced by the...", "Used purely as...", "Designed to recreate...", "Served by commuter trains...", "Originally named..." and "Served by Line 11...").  Done How are the railways sorted? It almost looks as if it's by opening date, but if that's the case then both Disneyland Monorail System and Disney Resort Line should be lower down their respective tables.  Done The rail lines serving the general resort areas (the ones guests are most likely to see first and the ones that are ridden most often) are listed first, followed by those located inside individual parks listed by opening date. Jackdude101 (Talk) 19:23, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply] You mentioned above that you'd found some free images for the two Jolly Trolley lines. Could they be included?  Not done I attempted to upload some images of the two Jolly Trolleys from Flikr a few minutes ago, but it turns out the licenses they have are not compatible with Wikimedia Commons. No other suitable images for these that also have compatible licenses appear to be available. Jackdude101 (Talk) 01:08, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply] The image for Gare de Marne-la-Vallée is a little unfortunate – it's just a bare train track, and the composition of the photo almost makes it look like the escalators are the main focus. It's also one of the only photos not to include examples of the vehicles that ride the railway it illustrates. Could this image be used instead? It's not much better, admittedly, but does at least illustrate what the trains look like.  Done The See also section is also creating quite a lot of whitespace. The neatest way that I can see to remedy this would be to add {{Div col|2}} after "Other similar railroads:" and {{Div col end}} before "Private railroads utilizing equipment that previously ran on Disney property:".  Done The portal bar seems quite overfilled. I can't imagine that anyone will want to learn more about, say, aquariums or Los Angeles as a result of reading this article, as they're not mentioned at any point. I'd recommend reducing the links in the portal bar down to just Disney, amusement parks, trains, and trams.  Done All of the geographic location portals have been removed. The Zoos and Aquariums portal has been kept, as one of the parks listed, Disney's Animal Kingdom, has live animal exhibits and is an AZA member.

Let me know if you'd like me to talk you through how to add these.  Done You're pretty much there, you just have to replace the uses of Class=wikitable with Class="wikitable plainrowheaders" (not for the route diagrams tables, of course). A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 11:29, 24 May 2017 (UTC)  Done[reply] Per WP:OVERLINK, countries (e.g. United States) need not be linked to.  Done United States is still linked to in the Disneyland Resort section. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 11:29, 24 May 2017 (UTC)  Done[reply] Oppose (for now) Clearly a lot of work has gone into this article, but unfortunately I feel that it is not quite at FL quality. My biggest issue is the lead, which is quite brief. Considering that at least three books have been written on this very subject, surely there must be more that you can say? Are there any interesting facts that you can give about the trains? Which was the first railway to be opened? Who builds them? Which ones are free and which require fares? That fact about how Disney's monorail system was the first of its kind in the US is definitely worthy of being mentioned in the lead. When was the monorail given Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark status? Have any of the other Disney railways been given this status? Which railways get the most passengers each year? Are the railways based on Disney characters generally more popular than their counterparts? Which tracks are the longest or shortest? I'm not saying that you have to include any or all of this material, but I do think that it's close to the sort of information that could be included in the intro to make the article more comprehensive.  Done Length-wise, that's certainly an improvement, but I'm now concerned that the lead doesn't have the professional standards of writing that we'd expect from a featured list. Almost all of the prose that has been added is simply "Some railways have [certain quality], such as [railway x] in [theme park x], [railway y] in [theme park y] and [railway z] in [theme park z]." It just doesn't make for an engaging lead. If you vary the prose a bit, the article will be more enjoyable to read. For example, you could have something like this: The Disney Corporation owns six resorts across five countries, all of which utilize railroad transportation within their grounds. The first such railroads were built in Disneyland Resort, the first Disney theme park. They were opened on July 17, 1955, by Billy Q. Importantman, who remarked at the time: "These railways are for the ages!" Three railroads were opened: the steam-powered Disneyland Railroad, the gas-powered Casey Jr. Circus Train and the working animals of Main Street, USA. Following the expansion of Disneyland in [year], a monorail was built by [engineering company] to connect the theme park to the general resort area. Opened in June 1959, it was the first operational monorail system in the United States, and was subsequently named an Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark by [organization] in [year]. Disney's second theme park, Walt Disney World, opened 16 years later, in 1971. For their new resort, Disney commissioned Baldwin Locomotive Works to build the railways in Walt Disney World, at a cost of $X million. Like Disneyland, Walt Disney World opened with three railways that included steam-powered locomotives and working animals. Two further lines were subsequently opened in the park: the Fort Wilderness Railroad in 1974 and the Wildlife Express Train in 1998. The Fort Wilderness Railroad was plagued with poor designs and operational problems, and was closed after six years. Speaking about the train in 1981, Gary K. Engineer remarked: "Our mistake was letting my six-year-old son design it." This obviously isn't how you MUST write the lead, I just want to give you an example of the sort of prose that might be closer to FL quality. This article might benefit from a thorough peer review. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 11:29, 24 May 2017 (UTC)  Done[reply] @A Thousand Doors: I put pen to paper to perfect the prose. The lead was condensed in the process. Let me know whether you believe this is an improvement. Jackdude101 (Talk) 19:22, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply] Sorry Jack, but I'm still not entirely convinced by the prose. It has definitely improved (the information about passenger usage and how Disney has one of the largest private collections of operational steam locomotives is certainly interesting), but it's still not quite, in my view, at FL level just yet. Take the final sentence of the first paragraph: it's incredibly long (74 words), and the only real information it imparts is that rail transport can be found in all six Disney theme parks, which is something that we learn from the opening sentence anyway. Try this: wherever you are right now, read that sentence out loud. I don't know about you, but I get a bit bored round about the word "France". Additionally, ending a sentence with five inline citations makes the text look cluttered. The second half of the lead is almost entirely unreferenced and has no wikilinks. The first sentence of the second paragraph is also really long (65 words). Phrases such as "in fact" risk violating WP:EDITORIALIZING. "Eclectic medley" sounds like a quote, but it's not one that I can see in the reference. If it is a quote then that would be fine, but otherwise it skates close to original research. I'm fine with absolutely everything else in the article; it's just the lead that I feel needs a thorough copy-edit. Thanks, A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 15:43, 29 May 2017 (UTC)  Done[reply] @A Thousand Doors: I addressed all of the specific fixes you requested. Everything in the lead section is now referenced and the longer sentences have been shortened. Jackdude101 (Talk) 23:33, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• I was invited to participate in this discussion yesterday. On my first glance, I like what I see, but I have not yet read through the prose in the article. I hope to take a closer look tonight. Slambo (Speak) 11:20, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• I support the nomination, especially because this is not a blunt list in a table but an interesting article with photographs and maps, which is very concise. To improve it further, I put forward two comments: The statement "the most-visited theme park on Earth" in the first caption of a figure could be seen by critics as a bit promotional. It does not add anything to the subject discussed unless it implies that the theme parks have such large car parks that the visitors need to be transported by railways. In the first line of the paragraphs on Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World I would add their locations such as In Anaheim, California. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 07:53, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• I support the nomination, The map templates help make the list more eye-catching to the viewer. Cards84664 (talk) 00:16, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, it stalled out for a while there, but all done now. The latest support is a little lacking as there's no indication that a real review was done, but I've read through it myself anyways and I'm good with it. Source review passed, promoting. --PresN 02:01, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator(s): Littlecarmen (talk) 11:56, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I have worked on the discography quite a bit recently and I think it is a useful list of Death Grips' many releases which could be useful for anyone interested in the band and I think it meets the criteria for featured list status. I would be thankful for any comments and opinions! Thank you very much, Littlecarmen (talk) 11:56, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose: This list has many problems, to much to count. You should request a peer review before nominating this for featured list. - AffeL (talk) 08:40, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments. AffeL's oppose seems unreasonable; you need to be specific with the issues that you think prevent the list from becoming featured. Also, it looks like a retaliation for the oppose made by the nominator in his FLC, which is a little immature to be honest. Anyway, here is what I think about the list:

• "American musical group" how about simply writing it as band considering that you refer to them as a band later in the lede?
• "The band was formed by Stefan "MC Ride" Burnett" no need for his real name here. I wouldn't call Lady Gaga Stefani "Lady Gaga" Germonatta in articles other than her biography.
• "In the spring of 2011" => "In March 2011"
• "received critical acclaim from contemporary music critics" it does not seem right to have "critical acclaim" and "critics" in the same sentence.
• "in the spring of that year" again mentioning the month would be more helpful instead of season.
• " in the fall of 2012", "In the summer of 2013", " in the summer of 2014" ^^.
• A lot of sentences have the structure, "was released to positive reviews and peaked at number xx on the Billboard 200".
• The tables look good and I haven't looked at the references. – FrB.TG (talk) 17:15, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@FrB.TG: I think I've addressed all of your issues. Littlecarmen (talk) 18:10, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Support on prose and comprehensiveness. Good work. – FrB.TG (talk) 11:47, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@FrB.TG: Thank you very much! Littlecarmen (talk) 16:03, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Support The lead is well written and plenty of sources are provided. One thing I did notice however was that the infobox says four remixes while the lead say three. Tsange (Talk) 15:09, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
