I believe these lists fulfill the criteria of a featured topic. All three of the Grand Tour lists are included with the overview list as well. Therefore, the topic is fundamentally covered with no gaps. NapHit (talk) 11:33, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

• Comment – generally excellent, but a few things I've picked up on...
  • In the List of Grand Tour general classification winners, the lead says "When there is a tie between cyclists they are listed alphabetically." but this doesn't seem to be true – it's alphabetically by Giro wins, then alphabetically by Tour wins, then alphabetically by Vuelta wins. Not sure how to reword it, really... bit awkard to explain the current sorting method :)
  • Same list, demonyms: firstly, it says "Russia", not "Russian", and then "Kazakhstani" when our article on Kazakhstan says the preferred demonym is "Kazakh".
  • Moving on to List of Giro d'Italia general classification winners, "In 1980, Frenchman Bernard Hinault who up to this point had won two Tour de France's," – Tours de France, not Tour de France's.
  • "Spaniard Miguel Indurain, winner of five Tour's," – no apostrophe needed; not contracting anything.
  • Didn't spot any problems with the TdF list. Nor with the Vuelta one. Beyond the following...
  • Not too fussed on this personally, but the nationality on the Giro/TdF lists has the country name instead of demonym -- i.e. Italy instead of Italian. The overall list and the Vuelta list use demonyms. Dunno how much that matters, though... They're consistent for each list individually, they're just not consistent inter-list. Just pedantic, really :)

Think that's all I've got for the moment. Will happily support once this things are dealt with -- nothing major, after all. Regards. Buttons to Push Buttons (talk | contribs) 22:39, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments I've dealt with everything. Regarding the alphabetical listing, I've changed it to alphabetical by tour which is what was intended, should clear that up. I've also removed the demonyms in all the lists and they all list the country know, and I dealt with the prose issues as well. Cheers NapHit (talk) 23:02, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
