List of Rangers F.C. players

edit

Comprehensive, accurate, referenced list which appears to meet FL criteria. Similar to the Arsenal and Liverpool lists, which are both featured. WATP (talk) • (contribs) 17:03, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Must have missed the PR for this (or perhaps there wasn't one) but either way, some comments before I can support.
    • Must use en-dash for year separators, see WP:DASH.
    • Lead could do with some work, I don't think the bullet pointed list helps with "brilliant prose".
    • No "correct as of..." - you have a number of current players in the list so an update date is needed.
    • Any chance of an image?
    • Why is the whole first sentence of the lead emboldened?
    • The Rangers template needs fixing so it points (with redirection) to this page).
  • So an oppose for the time being. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:13, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Right, dashes fixed, image added, link from template added, bullet points integrated into lead, update date added, emboldening fixed, notes for <100 appearance player added. Regarding the acronyms, there is a key which is linked to from the top of the column. Any further input or suggestions? WATP (talk) • (contribs) 14:02, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think the lead needs a bit of work to describe the list. Have a look at some of the other featured list of players for some ideas. Good work so far though. Peanut4 (talk) 14:14, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done, all bluelinks point directly to the correct articles. WATP (talk) • (contribs) 17:46, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment okay, the list is now in a much much better state. Some further comments before I can support its promotion:
    • "first-class matches " - a term which probably needs explanation. Especially when you go on in the second paragraph to say " competitive first-team matches only"
    • "Nine In A Row years" - this needs a further explanation (e.g. just add something like "when Rangers won the title for nine consecutive seasons..." or similar).
    • "A player's name in bold denotes that player is inducted into Hall of Fame." - this is just as well placed at the end of the lead and not in small text.
    • Eliminate the red linked articles by writing stubs.
    • Consider adding club record holders and colouring them.
    • Consider colour coding internationals (unless that's most of them, which I suspect it may be!)
    • I'm not keen on the key for the positions, I use the full position and wikilink it accordingly.
  • Much better, good luck with the push. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:25, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
First three done so far, and I have colour coded the internationals; less than I expected but still a fairly substantial amount. WATP (talk) • (contribs) 23:18, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
