Cy Young Award

My second for the FL Contest. I will address any concerns left. iMatthew (talk) 19:10, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

• Comment Citations are needed in the history section. As well, the lead should give statistics such as number of winners, number of times awarded, etc. See Hart Memorial Trophy for some ideas. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 19:16, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

I totally forgot about that!!! Right on it. iMatthew (talk) 19:17, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

And please remove all of the fair use images from the page and while you're at it, it would be great if you could find some sourcing information for Image:8512 23539 5.jpg. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 19:18, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Can you help me a bit - I need to source the prose, but all of my sources are in the "general" sources section. Should I list the same refs in general and in the prose? iMatthew (talk) 19:20, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Just use citations as well as the general ref (that way, people will know what the specific source is). For example, the Hart Trophy uses [2] as both a citation in the history section and a general ref. -- 19:31, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

I added the refs, but I am not good with images - at all. What do I need to do with the Award picture. iMatthew (talk) 19:48, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

The current image just has a PD licensing tag without any information about where it came from. Try contacting the uploader and see if he can add a source. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 20:20, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Resolved comments from SrX

• Comment - I gave a pre-FLC review on the talk page, if you didn't see it earlier.--S_RX 21:25, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Well I think you got all my comments on the pre-flc review, but the award itself needs to be in bold per WP:LEDE. Also, is there no external link to a website about the award itself?--S_RX 15:06, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Done, and nope. iMatthew (talk) 15:09, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

• Support - comments resolved to satisfy WP:WIAFL.--S_RX 15:37, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

• Comments
• http://armchairgm.com/index.php?title=Cy_Young_Award is a wiki-type source. What makes it reliable?
• What makes http://www.athomeplate.com/awardshistory.shtml reliable?
• Same with http://www.hickoksports.com/history/cyyoung.shtml.

Removed all. iMatthew (talk) 23:10, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

• Support The article looks nice as whole but to my mind if there any possibility to cite one or two other sources it would be better. --Gligan (talk) 11:46, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 12:31, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

There were some you either didn't fix, or you need to do other things to. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:16, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

• The formula shouldn't be in the lead, in my opinion. An option would be placing it in the note section.
• The note probably needs a reference.
• Endash should be used for the years in the winner section. (e.g. (1956-1966))

—Chris! _ct 20:15, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

More comments

• The lead only has one reference. It would be great if the lead has more references.
• The "List of Cy Young Award winners" heading should be just "Winners"
• Where is the note about Sutcliffe? Why was it remove?

—Chris! _ct 18:54, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

I got everything else (adding some references in there), and I couldn't find one reliable source for it, so I was forced to remove it. iMatthew (talk) 19:11, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
