Nominator(s): Bloom6132 (talk), Muboshgu (talk) 20:18, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We are nominating this for featured list because we feel it has been improved significantly over the past few months and now meets all 6 FL criteria. —Bloom6132 (talk) 20:18, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • "The award is named for former collegiate..." same problem was in the Branch Rickey Award article. For should be replaced by after
  • "It is considered to be the Heisman Trophy of college baseball." Context is needed for non-American readers, who do not know what the Heisman Trophy is. For example what sport is the award related to?
  • To date, three winners
  • Again next sentence, In total is redundant
  • "Jason Jennings and Buster Posey proceeded to achieve the Rookie of the Year Award..." I think won would suffice in place of proceeded to achieve
  • Not a fan of sentences starting with In 1999 etc. Would change sentence in question to: "The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) became the voting body in 1999
  • Why is (x) next to Player in the key?
  • Image in infobox could do with alt text
  • Don't think we need five external links per WP:EL I would cut them down to two or three

Comments
  • Remove unneeded bold in the first key table per MOS:ACCESS
  • The bold was added here because this is what it would have looked like with only the scope row format and no "plain row headers" parameter. Plus, the column headers are bold, so I think the key should reflect that. —Bloom6132 (talk) 17:22, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Add table caption to second table per MOS:DTT
  • Remove unneeded period dots on external links

Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 09:18, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comments very good, just a couple of things:
  • Ref 16, should be The New York Times.
  • In the template, Rodriguez is a redirect, so when viewing Rodriguez's page, the link still appears visible and redirects to itself...

Resolved comments from Crisco 1492 (talk)
Comments
  • who died of brain cancer in 1987 at the age of 51. - Is the age necessary?
  • In that same year, the award was presented to Mike Fiore, the inaugural winner. - Should preferably state immediately that it was created that year "In that same year, the award was established by (who?) and presented to Mike Fiore.", perhaps
  • To my surprise, I haven't been able to find a website that states who it was established by. The official website says nothing about the establishment and Baseball Almanac (which has the most in-depth background info IMO) only says when it was created and who votes for the winner. Sorry. —Bloom6132 (talk) 00:30, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
