List of Vancouver Canucks head coaches

I'm nominating this article because I think it's ready to be promoted to featured list status. Annoyomous24 (talk) 01:05, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Support as nominator. Annoyomous24 (talk) 01:10, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

• Comments
  • Link "expansion team" DONE!
  • ...twice to the Stanley Cup Finals twice but... - needs rewording DONE!
  • Terms should be linked to the seasons DONE!
    • Can they be linked to the pages with endashes?--Crzycheetah 23:47, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
  • No need for the see also section. That link is in the main template anyway. DONE!
  • The "b" note needs sourcing. DONE!
  • Hockey-Reference.com should not be the only source. Add some info that Hockey-Reference.com does not have, so that Wikipedia's list became the best possible on the web.
  • Why not just color one cell(name column) in green instead of the whole row. I mean you put the asterisk next to the name only, right? So why not just color the name only.

• • Crawford either "coached" the team or "was the head coach". (in the caption)

Comment

• "18,630 capacity" → "18,630-capacity" DONE!
• "2006-07 season " → "2006–07 season " – en dash per WP:DASH DONE!
• Otherwise, looks good.

Question

• How is Win–Loss percentage calculated? For example, Mike Keenan at 36 won and 54 lost is 36/90=0.400 - what am I missing? maclean 01:51, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

I changed it to points since the win-loss percentage doesn't matter in the NHL. Annoyomous24 (talk) 21:17, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Milk's Favorite Cookie told me it is ${\frac {Wins+{\frac {1}{2}}Ties}{Games}}$ (complicated by OTLs of course). Perhaps they should be included since all the other related FLs have included the stat. Also, in the Awards list it states "2007 Jack Adams Award Winner", have there ever been any 2007 Jack Adams Award Nominee? maclean 01:28, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

First of all, I did not know anything you just wrote in the first sentence. Second of all, of course there were 2007 Jack Adams Award nominees. Annoyomous24 03:12, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

• Comments
  • WP:MOS#Images recommends a lead image of at least 300px. DONE!
  • Prose is quite choppy, lots of short sentences, almost like a list of trivia turned into stilted prose.
  • "Overtime/Shootout Losses" - "Overtime/shootout losses" DONE!
  • Note [b] needs an en-dash. DONE!
  • "...any coach who has two separate terms..." - two or more. DONE!
  • "5 minute overtime" - "five-minute overtime"? DONE!

What's a prose? Annoyomous24 21:07, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

What I'm saying is that when I read the lead, it's not quite as smooth and engaging as it could be. Prose is simply a word which relates to ordinary written text. As opposed to poetry, for example. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:11, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
