All-NBA Team[edit]

previous FLC (00:09, 28 August 2008)

I am re-nominating this list because I believe it has fulfilled all the FL criteria.—Chris! ct 05:35, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • References are inconsistent. The correct website is basketball-reference.com, not basketball-references.com.
Fixed —Chris! ct 22:54, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm also extremely disturbed by the fact that this list was re-nominated only five hours after its last failed nomination closed. It's a disturbing trend because it seems like peer review is being ignored in favor of repeated nominations. This has happened before with other NBA lists.
I am not aware of any policies that prohibit editors from re-nominating the list soon after the first one is closed. Also on previous nominations, no one, not even the FL directors, have told me that editors cannot nominate repeatedly. Anyway, I guess I will wait a bit before nominating again next time.—Chris! ct 22:54, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't reference any policies, but to me as a reviewer, it looks like peer review is being ignored, like I said, and that concerns from previous nominations may be glossed over. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 22:57, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
People on the FLC discussion page told me I should wait 24 hours before re-nominating. I guess I will do that from now on.—Chris! ct 00:51, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I would certainly appreciate it, thanks for understanding. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 02:13, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I will check other things later, but it's better than the last time I looked at it.
    • "The All-NBA Team is composed of three five-man lineups, a first, second, and third team, comprising a total of 15 roster spots."→"The All-NBA Team is composed of three five-man lineups—a first, second, and third team, comprising a total of 15 roster spots."
    • "The All-NBA Team originally had two teams, but was extended to three teams in 1988."→"The All-NBA Team originally had two teams, but was expanded to three teams in 1988."
    • "The top five players with the highest point total make the first team with the next five making the second team and so forth."→remove "top" and comma after "the first team".
    • "In the case of a tie at the fifth position of each team, the roster is extended." - "extended"→"expanded"
      • "potential for more extension in the event" - "extended"→"expanded"
    • "Ties have occurred only once in 1952," - it's a tie, so it should be "A tie has occurred only once in 1952".
    • "From 1946 to 1955, players were selected without regard to position, however, each team consists of two forwards, one center, and two guards beginning from 1956.[2]"→"From 1946 to 1955, players were selected without regard to position; however, each team has consisted of two forwards, one center, and two guards since 1956.[2]"
    • "are all tied for second most with ten.[3]" - second most→second-most
    • In footnotes:
      • Link Greek to Greece
      • Link Serbia
      • Move link to "Arabic" to the third footnote instead of the fourth and change it to Arabic language instead of just Arabic.
      • Link U.S. Virgin Islands.
      • Link United States
All done —Chris! ct 03:46, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments - My previous comments have been addressed, but a noticed a few more..
    • Unless I missed something, the column named "Teams" is unnecessary because I see that the players only belong to one team, so I don' think that is needed, unless I missed one.
      • There are several players which were named to the All-NBA Team from two or more different teams (Charles Barkley is a good example), so that needs to stay. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 21:42, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • Okay, just wanted to make sure.--SRX 16:28, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • The teams should be linked every time which is the only exception to WP:OVERLINK.
Before, someone told me I should not overlinked team names per WP:OVERLINK. And now you told me I should link all of them per WP:OVERLINK. Who should I listen to? Personally, I don't think the teams should be linked every time because it is redundant.—Chris! ct 01:44, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SRX 21:23, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

      • Well citing WP:OVERLINK The same link multiple times. Redundant links make future maintenance harder. A link that had last appeared much earlier in the article may be repeated, but generally not in the the same section. (Table entries are an exception to this; each row of a table should be able to stand on its own). So you can do what you want, but tables are the exceptions.--SRX 16:28, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I can relink them but is it really necessary? It took me more than 30 minutes to clear the relinked last time and I really don't want to mess up them unless it is absolutely necessary to link everything.—Chris! ct 18:39, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's not necessary, but it should be required, you can revert your edit that removed them and add it again. SRX 19:33, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I will see what I do.—Chris! ct 00:31, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done —Chris! ct 02:08, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Great job, I commend you for adding it again. I was about to say wikilink all mentions of the recipients, but because they are the subject and appear more than once and it is noted, it's not necessary. Meets WP:WIAFL.SRX 02:54, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment—Cr 6: there's something very untidy about the way the info appears in the tables, and will you consider a less glaring shade of yellow? Tony (talk) 12:46, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the color is glaring at all. In fact, this is the same yellow color that appear on all other NBA award pages. If you want me to use another color here, I will have to use another color on all other NBA award pages.—Chris! ct 18:46, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Chris here re: the yellow; I've viewed it now on 4 different monitors and at several resolutions and I see no problems. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 16:59, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
