Nominator(s): Resolute 02:46, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Its been a while since I've tried my hand at FLC, and the first non-hockey list I've done. This one is for Canada's male athlete of the year, and the female list will follow. And let me tell you, that was a lot of google news archive searching, so be gentle as my typing fingers are tired! Resolute 02:46, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Quick comments from Albacore (talk)

• Alt text is needed for all images

• two disambiguation links

"finishing atop the

• The article currently fails Accessibility standards. See MOS:DTT for further information– use the scope row tags on the "Winner" section since this is about winners, of course.

• Maybe a note on why there was no award given in 1951?

• URL showing in ref 55

• The lead should be cut to 3 paragraphs per WP:LEAD.

Man, I can't believe I forgot the alt-text... All should be addressed, except for the lack of a winner in 1951. Unfortunately, the CP never wrote an article explaining why it did not give one that year. Thanks, Resolute 01:14, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Comments Perhaps instead of "were conducted beginning in 1933." you could say "were conducted from the following year"? Something to avoid just churning out plain years. "It is separate from the Lou Marsh Trophy, in" either merge and say "and is separate..." or say "The award separate..." since the subject of "it" has changed in the previous sentence. " during the last four " maybe just be more descriptive and say "for the latter part of.." or similar? "Football player Joe Krol" you should link which particular "brand" of football you mean here. Also worth linking Hockey to Ice hockey as us Brits don't see that as the first choice... "finishing atop the" -> "finishing top of the" "gold medal in Ice hockey at the 2010 Winter Olympics" decap Ice. Captions which are complete sentences need full stops. World War II (yuck) or Second World War? Be consistent throughout. Win col sorts four ways in Safari... the en-dash needs to be forced to sort numerically. "gold medal winning goal " I imagine there should be some hyphens around here somewhere! Some "Achievement" notes have a full stop, most don't... make sure you follow the "complete sentences" guide. Make sure table complies with MOS:DTT. Sortable table so everything that's linked should be linked every time because there's no guarantee which one would come first after a re-sort. Merge notes c & d and re-use. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:26, 8 September 2011 (UTC) Appreciate the review. I've got all of the easy ones done. The consistency check will have to wait until tomorrow. Thanks! Resolute 23:53, 8 September 2011 (UTC) Ok, hopefully I have everything now. Question on MOS:DTT. I am not sure what you are alluding to, though I wonder if it is the lack of a table header. If that is the case, do I actually need to add something like that given the section header serves the same function? Resolute 01:22, 10 September 2011 (UTC) You appear to have done it, the addition of scope="row" and scope="col" in the appropriate places. Thanks!

Support a nice list, good work. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:21, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Resolved comments from Giants2008 (27 and counting) 20:04, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Comments – Comma would be useful after "finishing top of the poll six times in the 1980s". Voting: Remove comma after Steve Nash and hyphen in "three-times" right after that? Overall, hockey players finished at the top of the annual polls the most times at 25." Should it be "have finished", since the award is still being given? Table: Could spell out the state in the 1935 description. In the 2010 description, the dash in "gold medal–winning" should just be a hyphen, I believe. In the Weir photo caption, it says his awards were won between 2000 and 2004, but the table says 2000 to 2003. Dash in the title of ref 38 needs fixing as it's a spaced em dash. Make it unspaced or change the dash type. Ref 62 needs a publisher, outside the title. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 21:24, 17 September 2011 (UTC) All should be addressed. Thanks for the review!
