Nominator(s): Dr Salvus 21:37, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

30 awards have been assigned as of 18 November 2022. It's acceptable that it isn't very big. Dr Salvus 21:37, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

  • "The winner is chosen by a combination of an online public vote" - a combination of this and what else? You can't have a combination of one thing.
Removed the "a combination of" I had mistakenly inserted.  Done
  • "contending five players" => "involving five players"

 Done

  • "The five players who take part to the pool" => "The five nominated players"

 Done

  • No reason for EA Sports to be in all capitals

 Done

  • Need a comma after Ronaldo to end the clause

 Done

  • "No player has won the award on two consecutive months" => "No player has won the award in two consecutive months"

 Done

  • "or in the same season" => "or twice in the same season"

 Done

  • "....the same season but Gómez and Ronaldo are the only players to win two trophies in one calendar year" => "...the same season; Gómez and Ronaldo are the only players to win two trophies in one calendar year"

 Done

  • "to win the reward on two consecutive months" => "to win the award in two consecutive months"

 Done

  • "Ten midfileders" - last word is spelt wrong

 Done

  • "the most rappresented" - last word is spelt wrong

 Done. I got confused with Italian word for represented.

  • I would just have a single column for month and year, as being able to sort by both month and year looks weird - why would you want to sort all the Septembers together?

 Done. Premier League Player of the Months too has this problem

  • "As of February 2022 award." - presume this is wrong? Also it doesn't need a full stop

 Done

Not done -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:44, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • "As of October 2022 award." (in two places) - doesn't need a full stop

 Done

Not done -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:44, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • No need for a "see also" to Serie A as it is already linked in the article

 Done

  • Publisher of refs 1 and 3 is the same but you show it differently

 Done

  • Ref 2 gives no publisher info at all

 Done

  • Don't show title of ref 3 in all caps

 Done

In these moments, I am busy. I will do this as soon as possible. Dr Salvus 17:53, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Have decided to sleep less to do this work. Dr Salvus 23:01, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
 Done. I had made the edits in question but I think I forgot to save them. Dr Salvus 09:17, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisTheDude anything??? Dr Salvus 16:43, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
One point I missed above: what's the point of the note "Players marked † shared the award with another player." when as far as I can see this has never happened? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:55, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Dr Salvus 19:36, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisTheDude still nothing? Moise Kean got his November award yesterday, so I've changed something. Dr Salvus 16:01, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The first column does not sort correctly. If I sort on any other column and then re-sort on the first one, the order becomes September 2019 > January 2020 > January 2021 > January 2022 > October 2019 > February 2020 etc, which makes no sense -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:51, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I've now looked at the refs and ref 4 does not source the columns where it is used. For example, if I click the magnifying glass on the Serie A site and type in "Frank Ribery" (which is not the correct spelling of his name, BTW), I get two articles: one about how he did the most dribbles on one matchday in November 2021 and one wishing him a happy birthday in April 2022, so nothing confirming that he was a forward, or that he's French, or that he played for Fiorentina when he won the award in 2019...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:56, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Accessibility review (MOS:DTAB)[edit]

  • Tables need captions, which allow screen reader software to jump straight to named tables without having to read out all of the text before it each time. Visual captions can be added by putting |+ caption_text as the first line of the table code; if that caption would duplicate a nearby section header, you can make it screen-reader-only by putting |+ {{sronly|caption_text}} instead.
  • Please see MOS:DTAB for example table code if this isn't clear. I don't return to these reviews until the nomination is ready to close, so ping me if you have any questions. --PresN 16:47, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Struway2[edit]

  • In the lead, better to display and link "association football" at first mention;
  • link playing positions and clubs at first mention;
  • and say what Serie A is: top tier of Italian football, or whatever: we're aiming at the general reader, not the football fan;
  • The month and year column doesn't sort in chronological order.
  • Ref #3 (the one at the top of the player column) links to the Italian-language version of the site; as it has an English-language version, could you link to that instead.
  • I don't understand how ref #4 (the one at the top of the club, nationality and playing position columns) sources all those columns for every recipient of the award. Taking Radja Nainggolan (November 2019) as an example: visiting the Lega Serie A site, clicking on the magnifying glass and typing the player's name in, I get a page with links to 52 articles. What am I missing?
  • Enough for now. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 17:43, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I am busy, I don't know when I'm going to do it. Dr Salvus 21:14, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator has stated elsewhere that they have abandoned this nomination; closing. --PresN 18:09, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
