NBA Sportsmanship Award[edit]

It looks pretty good and seems to fulfill all criteria. So.—Chris! ct 22:41, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Could a symbol also be used, in addition to the blue background color, per WP:ACCESS? Gary King (talk) 23:27, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I can add a symbol.—Chris! ct 00:21, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - Excellent job Chris. Would you mind adding something that shows the players who have been elected in the Hall of Fame? « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie 17:13, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, I will see what I can do.—Chris! ct 20:57, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Only one award recipient is a Hall of Famer. So that is easy to do.—Chris! ct 21:04, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • Worth noting in the lead all winners have been US except for the one Brit.
I will add a sentence about that.—Chris! ct 22:07, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not sure you need the "mission statement" (for want of a better phrase) in italics.
Fixed.—Chris! ct 22:07, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • em-dash doesn't need a space before or after it (see WP:DASH for clarification).
Fixed.—Chris! ct 22:07, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • "30 players from across the league compete for this award (each team nominates one of its own player)" I'd reverse this sentence so we logically see that each team picks one player so 30 are nominated in total.
    • "From a pool of 30" must be "the pool" now, not just a non-specific pool.
I reword the both sentences.—Chris! ct 22:07, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Preferably put references in numerical order unless there's a good reason to have [2] in front of [1].
Since some refs I used in the table came from the lead, they are not in numerical order.—Chris! ct 22:07, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You can fix that by reordering the order you use the ref name. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:36, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done.—Chris! ct 19:35, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • "NBA players voted on this award" just "vote" is grammatically right.
Fixed.—Chris! ct 22:07, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • "The last four awards have gone to alumni of Duke University, with all three recipients (one being two-time winner Hill)..." I get it, but it's confusing.
I remove the sentence all together. It is trivial fact anyway.—Chris! ct 22:07, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Is there an NBA lists category for this list?
Fixed.—Chris! ct 22:07, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments Support
    • Avoid parentheses in the lead. - 'one for each NBA team" and "three Spurs..."
    • Be consistent with other award pages; for example, colors and nationalities.
    • I think it's time we start linking to the right seasonal pages, the ones with endashes.

Fixed.—Chris! ct 01:56, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As soon as I see that the second column is nationality, just as in other award pages, I'll support.--Crzycheetah 04:23, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done —Chris! ct 17:48, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
