    • Many of the statements in the lead are not sourced with a ref.
I will do that.—Chris! ct 00:41, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Add several refs.—Chris! ct 05:39, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I suggest stating how the recipient of the award is determined.
Already did.Oh, I am looking at another page. Not done yet.—Chris! ct 00:41, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done.—Chris! ct 05:39, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I also suggest stating the amount of different players that have received the awards.
I will add that.—Chris! ct 00:41, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • In the notes section, Because Tim Duncan is a United States citizen by birth, as are all natives of the U.S. Virgin Islands, he was able to played for the U.S. internationally., why is "played" in past tense?
Fixed.—Chris! ct 00:41, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support - my comments have been addressed.SRX 15:39, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments
    • Not keen on "PLAYER (X)" why not "Name (X)"? DONE!
    • Why not make the table sortable? DONE!
    • "until a smaller trophy was introduced in 2005." needs reference.
Got it—Chris! ct 19:52, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not keen on "(naturalized U.S. citizen since 1993)" - why not flow it in the prose rather than crowbar in a statement in parentheses? DONE!

Comments

  • "The award was decided by a panel of 9 media members," -- "was" or "is"? If it's "was", then where is the bit about how it's decided now?
DONE! -- K. Annoyomous24 10:00, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "In at least one NBA Finals" this is too vague. Can it be tied down to a specific number?
I don't know how to find the exact number but I wrote "some" instead of "at least one". -- K. Annoyomous24 10:00, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well I noticed the statement has two references. What do those say, because "some" is just as vague unfortunately. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 15:41, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The first reference is the most recent one, which doesn't have fan balloting. The second one which it the 2007 one does. So I really don't know. -- K. Annoyomous24 17:07, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I changed it back to "at least one" because that is the only fact we know based on the references. I know it is vague but at least it is better than "some" and is verifiable.—Chris! ct 17:47, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd like to see the image of the trophy moved to the lede section
We can't do that as the NBA Awards template has to be the most uprighted thing on the article. -- K. Annoyomous24 10:00, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh. You could position it to the left, if it doesn't squash the text too much. I guess it's not a big deal. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 15:41, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I really do think it will squash it. I'll try it right now but I don't think it'll work. If it doesn't work, I won't reply. -- K. Annoyomous24 17:07, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Currently, I feel that the picture looks sort of bad. Lets just see what others think. -- K. Annoyomous24 17:14, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think it looks bad, too.—Chris! ct 17:51, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Me too! :P Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 18:32, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, looks poor but since it exists, it must be used here really. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:38, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Changed it back! -- K. Annoyomous24 18:39, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is there anything for an EL section?
There is none. -- K. Annoyomous24 10:00, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Where is the [edit] tab for the Winners section?
To be honest, I don't know. -- K. Annoyomous24 10:00, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think the position of the template prevents the [edit] tab from appearing. That is my guess.—Chris! ct 17:51, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Where is the contents table?
DONE! -- K. Annoyomous24 10:00, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's all I have, I think. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 08:48, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
