Would appreciate some feedback on a List

I would like to possibly put the following List up for FL: List of professional cyclists who died during a race. Before I submit it, though, I would appreciate any feedback from you on my talkpage. (Just to give you a benchmark, this is what the List looked like when I started on it almost two years ago.) Thanks in advance, Shearonink (talk) 01:31, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Hmm... I'm thinking this should be a table, nd not bullet points. The lede should be 3-4 paragraphs, and FLC discourages lists that start with "this is a list" for the last few years. Courcelles 17:58, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

I don't see the problem as one of the data, purely of structure. Turning that bulleted list into a table would be major, I can't remember the last time a bulleted list got through FLC.

I appreciate your taking a look at it. I've adjusted the lede per your suggestions and have also added some images to the decades' sections. You're right about converting the present version into a table...I'm thinking about it but that would be a major undertaking. (I was unaware of the predilection for tables in Featured Lists since it isn't listed at Featured list criteria but that's ok...live and learn.) Thank you for your feedback, it was very helpful. If you think of anything else that needs to be changed/adjusted/deleted/whatever, please post your thoughts about it here. Cheers, Shearonink (talk) 19:31, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Pic rename

Hi Courcelles! I named a pic I uploaded wrong (lack of sleep on my part). Can this be fixed? The file in question is: File:Rizbihaleeb.JPG -- Can we rename it to File:Ummali2.JPG? Thanks so much. :-) ~dee 11:11, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

If you'd just like to delete it, you can do that and I'll reupload. ~dee 11:16, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Could you take a look?

Hi Courcelles! I've been playing with List of amphibians of Michigan over the past couple of days and was wondering if you might have a few minutes to take a look at it? I'm specifically wondering if there is any information that jumps out at you as being missing - I'm having a hard time finding developed articles on this subject on WP and so don't have anything to base it on. I'm considering putting it up for FLC, so any comments you have would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance, although no worries if you don't have the time/interest.

Dana, I'm pretty much blind at the moment (I was in the ER earlier tonight, that's how bad I'm at the moment), I'll see what I can do next wek when I can read the edit box again. (Can someone slap a wikibreak template on the page? Thanks. For most intents and purposes, I'm out of here for the forseeable future except anything I can do with very, very blown up text.

Republic of China article

Since you have previously shared your view in a CfD about the Republic of China, I guess you are interested to share your insight at Talk:Republic of China#Requested Move (February 2012) too. Thanks for your attention. 61.18.170.250 (talk) 11:06, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
