Footnotes
[edit]Seems like someone went to the trouble to mark a lot of footnotes at 2014_NBA_draft#Draft_selections, except I don't see any text for any of them. Here's the current version I'm looking at[1].—Bagumba (talk) 02:26, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
- Hey, I was the one who created those footnotes, as I was trying to convert the trades into tables for easier reading. Those footnotes are empty because it's only used for linking the draft selections to the trade details, similar to the footnotes on the 2011 NBA draft and before. However I just noticed that this footnote system doesn't work at all with mobile browser. Should I convert the trades into texts similar to 2013 NBA draft#Pre-draft trades? I really think we should find an alternative because text version of the trades are too long and difficult to read as a section, but it works well with the footnote system. Right now I'm trying to find a solution to still use the tables and have a working footnote. Any ideas? — MT (talk) 03:53, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
- All the trade tables are now removed and the footnotes are working fine. — MT (talk) 03:20, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
Requesting edit from confirmed user
[edit]The sentence, "this is the third time in last 11 drafts that they will make the first overall pick" in the introduction should read "fourth time in the last 12 drafts". The source in question is implying that Cleveland had the top pick three times in the 11 drafts preceding 2014. Therefore, in 2014 they will make the first pick for the fourth time since 2003. These pages can be visited for verification: 2003 NBA draft, 2011 NBA draft, and 2013 NBA draft. — Preceding unsigned comment added by E4e5sesame (talk • contribs) 09:32, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Not done: our guideline for page titles would frown upon such a change. — {{U|Technical 13}} (e • t • c) 20:01, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
Ceremonial Pick by the NBA
[edit]The NBA drafted Isaiah Austin between the 15th and 16th pick, shouldn't he be placed between the two picks considering it was a pick, albeit made by the league? [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.49.10.95 (talk • contribs) 20:34, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

This is a list-class article. Lists cannot be good articles. Recommendation is to move to featured lists, or get reclassified as an article before going to good articles.
At first I thought this was a borderline case, but in reality draft articles are ones that should go through FLC, even if there's more prose than usual. In this case I don't think there's such a large amount as to suddenly call it an article, so I'm going to remove the tag from the page. Wizardman 14:19, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
