List of New York Rangers head coaches[edit]

This seems to meet the FL criteria, so I'm going to give it a try. Feel free to leave comments with anything that needs to be fixed. Thanks,   jj137 (talk) 22:14, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support as nominator.   jj137 (talk) 22:40, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support (as co-nominator, although I hate the Rangers.) « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie » 22:41, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments - Looks like this list will pass due to the !votes! of the nominators...
    • I don't like how the lead doesn't explain who the first coach was, a few of the greatest coaches who have actually helped the Rangers get somewhere with their careers, and the current coach is not mention.
      • Fixed, I added in the names of the first coach and the current one.   jj137 (talk) 01:20, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Instead of mentioning which coaches went to the HoF, mention the history of the coaches in the lead since that is the only bit of prose.--SRX 23:48, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • In the prose:
    • Should mention the first and current coaches of the team.
    • Should mention how many coaches were in the team.
    • Mike Keenan is not the 31st coach.
  • Should fix the problem with the image on the key.
    • What is the problem? Just curious, I'm using Firefox (it may be be different for different browsers) and don't see anything wrong.   jj137 (talk) 00:41, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Remove the "See also" section as there is nothing related to this article except for the List of NHL head coaches.
    • Removed all of them except for the one you named.   jj137 (talk) 01:15, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Should put more pictures in the article
    • I think we have enough (and free images that would fit here are extremely hard to find...).   jj137 (talk) 02:38, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • All the terms should be in ####–## form. (ie. 2003-04–2007-08 --> 2003–08)
DONE! -- K. Annoyomous24[c] 01:09, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I thought the Rangers won the Stanley Cup 4 times? Why is Mike Keenan is only coach who has that Achievement on the list?
  • On the list, put en dashes on the # of coaches who coached more than twice.
DONE! -- K. Annoyomous24[c] 01:09, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Tom Renney is still the Ranger's head coach so instead of putting the last year that he coached, put the word "present".
  • There will be more when I see them...

More comments

  • Needs more images
  • Need to fix the seasons as they are not sorted properly. Look not just at the coach register, but click on the coaches and see the seasons.
    • Could you elaborate? I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Thanks.   jj137 (talk) 02:47, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Make "Ref" into "Notes".

DONE ALL! -- K. Annoyomous24[c] 03:26, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Lucky I fixed the table for no apparent reason as I don't get anything except for a thanks. -- K. Annoyomous24[c] 03:26, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry, I was just asking for clarification, as I wasn't exactly sure what you meant you said the seasons "weren't sorted properly."   jj137 (talk) 22:18, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

One more comment You should include symbols in addition with the colours per WP:ACCESS. For example, change {| class="wikitable" style="font-size:90%;" |style="background-color:#FFE6BD"|. |- |to |- |style="background-color:#FFE6BD"|'''†''' |- |}. Hope you get what I mean. This time, I'm not helping you. MFC should know. -- K. Annoyomous24[c] 00:37, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, got it. Should be all set now. Thanks for your (once again) in depth review! Something coming to your talk :-) « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie » 01:38, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support By the way, Thanks again for the awesome barnstar! -- K. Annoyomous24[c] 03:35, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • "The team is commonly referred to as its famous nickname, "The Broadway Blueshirts" - by needs to replace as
  • "In the 1993–94 season, he led the Rangers into a Stanley Cup championship.[22]" - remove into and just leave to
  • In the key, there is no need for the colours to be in a box so remove the colorbox thing, also the symbols don't need to be bold
    • I fixed the color box thing, but left the symbols bolded, as it seems more appropriate for them to be left bolded.   jj137 (talk) 21:20, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Some of the terms in the table do not have en dashes, 1953-54 is an example of this
  • You have the symbols along with the colours in the key, but not in the table, this needs rectifying
  • You can remove .com from the hockey-reference citations, it's not needed
    • Actually, it might be best left there, considering the site calls itself "Hockey-Reference.com" and not "Hockey Reference".   jj137 (talk) 21:09, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Only the name of the site e.g. Hockey Reference is needed not the .com, as this just refers to the domain NapHit (talk) 15:34, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • Well, what I meant is that if you look at the main logo for the site on the main page (which is basically what the site calls itself), it says "Hockey-Reference.com", not "Hockey Reference". I'll change it anyway, though, because it is pointless to keep the .com, as you said.   jj137 (talk) 00:42, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • Done, I removed all of the .coms.   jj137 (talk) 00:45, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hope this helps NapHit (talk) 17:49, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
