- Comment - Does the references have to keep being linked again and again? Using the same reference like crazy is an eyesore.Mitch32(UP) 18:09, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Because there is an article about the publisher? -- SRE.K.A
nnoyomous.L.24[c] 22:54, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]- Its really about personal choice, so that shouldn't prevent it from becoming an FL.--SRX 23:20, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I hope you are correct, because some reviewers insist that every instance should be linked, since you do not know which particular footnote a reader will be looking at. Rlendog (talk) 16:58, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I wikilinked all the publishers. -- SRE.K.A

- The Washington Nationals are members of the National League (NL) East Division in Major League Baseball (MLB). - well this is where they work, but in this sentence, it should be stated what they do and what they are, i.e. a baseball franchise.
- I also don't understand why in the key GM stands from "Regular seasons managed" it doesn't add up, can you elaborate? The G just puzzles me.
- The # Column should be sortable.
- There is no use for it to be sortable, since the list is already sorted by #. -- SRE.K.A

- The lead should also be expanded like in other FL's of this subject. I.e. +where they play, who is the teams owner.
- It already says where they play. -- SRE.K.A

- "There have been 12 different managers in
theirfranchise history." Either drop the "their" or make it "franchise's". - "The Nationals are
currentlyowned by Ted Lerner, with Jim Bowden as their general manager.[4]" Per WP:DATED - Link "general manager" to General manager (baseball)
- On a related note, since you mention the GM, it would be great to include a GM table too.
- The article isn't called List of Washington Nationals managers and general managers. Also, I didn't mention anything about general managers, I only mentioned about the Nationals executives, which includes the owner and general manager. -- SRE.K.A

- Acta is the
currentmanager of the Nationals. Per WP:DATED - It should be "winning percentage", not "Win–Loss percentage", since it only represents the percentage of games won.
- In the table, Gene Mauch has an asterisk by his name, but isn't shaded in green.
- "There have been 12 different managers in
- Image captions:
- "Manny Acta is the manager of the Nationals since 2007." → "Manny Acta has been the manager of the Nationals since 2007." or "Manny Acta has managed the Nationals since 2007."
- "Felipe Alou (right), shown with the San Francisco Giants,
havemanaged ten seasons with the Expos." - "Frank Robinson, shown with the San Francisco Giants,
havemanaged five season with the Expos." Also, add an "s" to seasons. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 00:32, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- DONE everything without comments. -- SRE.K.A
nnoyomous.L.24[c] 00:56, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]- Just a few more...
- You still need to change "season" to "seasons" in the Frank Robinson image caption.
- "W–L%" in the table header & key should be changed to either "Win %" or "WPct" to reflect the "winning percentage" comment above. -NatureBoyMD (talk) 03:06, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- DONE all. -- SRE.K.A
