I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets all of the criteria, etc. I waited until one of my lists cleared out of the queue and gave a little time before nominating this list, but I think it's ready. It's article 4 toward my proposed WP:FT (see bottom of this page for details) and I will address all concerns as always. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 21:46, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Support -- Previous issues resolved; article now meets WP:WIAFL. In response to the main article, that would be overkill to do so, I think just having the winners from each league will suffice.--Best, ₮RUCӨ 23:13, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Since there are 73 inline refs, it is a good idea to split them into 2 columns.—Chris! ct 22:34, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Done. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 23:09, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- As always, nice list, so support—Chris! ct 05:05, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments
- The award consists of a three-foot (91 cm) tall silver bat trophy with the engraved names of each of the winners from the league. - "Consists of" → "is". Also, "three-foot" should be "3-ft".
- Fixed per WP:MOSNUM. Changing to a digit here is correct but using the dash and abbreviating the unit on first use is not. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 23:34, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Well then why is cm abbreviated? –Juliancolton | Talk 23:46, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- "In the main text, spell out the main units and use unit symbols or abbreviations for conversions in parentheses" per MOS:CONVERSIONS (specific section of the same page). KV5 (Talk • Phils) 23:48, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Aha, my mistake, it must have changed since I last read it. –Juliancolton | Talk 23:57, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Two National League third baseman have also won three Silver Sluggers. Matt Williams won the award in 1990, 1993, and 1994,[8] when he was on pace to tie Roger Maris' home run record of 61 before the players' strike - Try to be consistent with the format of numbers (three, 61).
-
- Could you please elaborate? MOSNUM says "Comparable quantities should be all spelled out or all figures: we may write either 5 cats and 32 dogs or five cats and thirty-two dogs, not five cats and 32 dogs." –Juliancolton | Talk 23:48, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- There are no "comparable quantities" here. Three awards is unrelated to 61 home runs. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 00:58, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- KV5 is correct here, these are not comparable quantities or entities. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:03, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- There are four semi-colons in the final paragraph of the lead, which leaves the prose rather choppy. Most of them could simply be broken into two sentences.
- These are intentional because they are related; some units are common between the two clauses. See semicolon for more details. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 23:34, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, I know what a semicolon is meant to do, but we still don't need one for every sentence. –Juliancolton | Talk 23:48, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I changed two of them, the ones that I felt could have stood the change. The other three still need to be there with the way it's written. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 00:58, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
