[edit] New York Yankees
Great team, great article. Deserves to be featured. Sportskido8
- Object. I will not debate the merits of the team, but the article has several issues that need to be addressed before it is featured quality. 1) The article has an active dispute that needs to be resolved before it can be considered stable. 2) Besides a handful of embedded HTML links there is no form of inline citation. 3) As per WP:CITE, full citation are needed for the embedded HTML links 4) The "Quick facts" section is a bulleted list of triva that needs to be converted into prose. 5) The bottom half of the article is very list heavy. I would recommend combining the "Season-by-Season Records" and "Postseason appearances" sections into a single table to reduce this problem. --Allen3 talk 15:01, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- Object per all of the above, and no refs gets a speedy object from me. We can't ask Wiki readers to just "take our word for it". Sandy 18:19, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- Strong Object This article is a) too long (86kb's is way too much for the info that's on here), b)Way to listy for an FA (Borderline listcruft in places), c)fails 2a d) doesn't have as many pictures as I would like too see for an article of its size and cultural importance.

- Object Image:Yankees ny1.jpg and Image:Al 2005 newyork 01.gif should be SVG or PNG. WP 09:21, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- Update I fixed the ugly list and combined the records and postseason into 1 table. I'm also trying to add more pictures but these copyright laws are a pain and I'm having problems adding them in even with permission from the picture owners.
