List of Pittsburgh Steelers first-round draft picks[edit]
Nominating this list for FLC. I think this list does meet featured list criteria. If you guys have any questions or comments, I would try to answer them. --Gman124 talk 16:57, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Might as well remove the bold from "The Pittsburgh Steelers" as this isn't an article about the Pittsburgh Steelers, but their first-round draft picks. Gary King (talk) 17:53, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment A few potential corrections:
- Photo captions should have punctuation at the end, since they're complete sentences.
- The first two references under "Specific" are identical; use the <ref name=> trick to avoid this.
- Shouldn't there be a reference for each draft pick? Currently, only the years without draft picks are referenced.

NFL Annual Player Selection Meeting, more commonly known as the NFL Draft. part is repeated twice and that's why the first two refs are identical.Don't use the group refs just yet because you can't combine the notes and refs. Thus, your footnotes remain unsourced.
Done --Gman124 talk 03:13, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Explain why they changed their name from Pirates to Steelers.Double-check your trade notes because I see that you did not mention that the Steelers traded their 2006 pick to the Giants.

- Link college pages to more specific ones, football pages. See 2007 NFL Draft.
- Trade notes are missing "the"'s, The Steelers...to the [full team name].
- They're missing periods, as well. Also link the team names.
- Whenever they traded their picks away, mention what overall pick it was. Not all notes mention them.
- I don't understand the "k" note, could you reword it?
- Support In the footnotes, obtained or acquired? Choose one. Also, most of the comments I made here apply to the Rams page, as well.--Crzycheetah 00:08, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Object. Tables need references, too. Once those are added, consider this objection withdrawn.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 20:02, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- That's what general references are for.--Crzycheetah 20:21, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- We have moved to inline references over a year ago. General references fail below even the GA standards today.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 20:25, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Comments
- Is "Halfback" a proper noun? I don't think it needs to be capitalised in the lead.
- "first round selection" - shouldn't that first round be first-round?
- "Enshrined in the..." - sounds very final - why not "admitted to the..."?
- The red links should be sorted out.
- " the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl in 2005 at the age of 23." - is there a reference for this?
