List of Tampa Bay Rays Opening Day starting pitchers[edit]

I based the format of the article off of List of Seattle Mariners Opening Day starting pitchers which has FL status. All references are reliable, and featured list criteria appears to be meet. --Mr.crabby (Talk) 01:37, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • All scores need the en dash.

  • Only should be as late as possible in the clause: "No decisions are only awarded to the starting pitcher if the game is won or lost after the starting pitcher has left the game."—after "lost". I'd put "No decisions" in quotes, since it won't be familiar as a compound term to non-experts.
Done and done --Mr.crabby (Talk) 11:15, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Opening Day starts"—"opening-day starts", et al.
Done --Mr.crabby (Talk) 11:15, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Opening Day game (Alverez has two losses, Kazmir has one lose and one no decision). - remove parentheses and put a semi-colon after game
Done --Mr.crabby (Talk) 23:26, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Tampa Bay beat New York 8–3 " - I know who mentioned the yankees in the previous sentence but I would use Yankees instead of New York to avoid confusion with the Mets
Done --Mr.crabby (Talk) 23:26, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Years should be centrally aligned, and so should the decisions column
Done --Mr.crabby (Talk) 23:26, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Full stop not needed in the image in the lead
I'm not familiar with the term "full stop". What do you want me to do? --Mr.crabby (Talk) 23:26, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • The MOS says you can beef that lead image up a bit, up to 300px.
Enlarged --Mr.crabby (Talk) 20:48, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • ""No decisions" are awarded to the starting pitcher if the game is won or lost, only after the starting pitcher has left the game." - so, if his team is winning or losing before he leaves the mound, he gets a win/loss? Just checking...
If he's winning before he leaves and then the team loses he gets a no-decision. If he's losing when he leaves and then his team wins, he gets a no-decisiom. --Mr.crabby (Talk) 20:48, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "opening-day " - I thought we were sticking with "Opening Day"?
Corrected --Mr.crabby (Talk) 20:48, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Opening Day game, Alverez has two losses, Kazmir has one lose and one no decision" reads awkwardly, and "one lose" is awful. Suggest a full stop after "game" and then replace the comma with "while" and the "lose" with "loss"?
Corrected --Mr.crabby (Talk) 20:48, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "opening day" - consistency please.
Corrected --Mr.crabby (Talk) 20:48, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Tampa's traditional home of" - what do you mean by traditional here? Their actual or one by tradition which has alternative connotations?
Replaced "traditional" with "actual" --Mr.crabby (Talk) 20:48, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Obviously one of the shortest histories in the Majors, but a great start to build off in the future. Good work. Blackngold29 22:22, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
