1. Well-written:
1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.
1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation. In accordance with lead sections (see left), ideally all it should consist of is a set of summaries of longer or less-joined up statements made elsewhere. Therefore to be kind to the readers you might want it to be a little less detailed.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline. One of the tables was way over to the right which is bound to offend looking via a tablet or smartphone. I'll fix this. You can use {{clear}}, see Template:clear which gives the left right and center options and there is the clearall template too.
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose). 252 sources, all of which appear properly formatted.
2c. it contains no original research. No first-person or on-the-ground sources are used for contestable statements. There are a couple of easily verifiable diagrams and tables which simply summarises other facts so are not original research in my view.
3. Broad in its coverage:
3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic. Compared to other articles on comparable season subjects, this article is very well developed, even to the extent of having the schedule in nice readably medium long paragraphs.
3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style). No deviations
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
7. Overall assessment.

None of the articles linked to (links) need disambiguation in their coding.

Now that's done perhaps we could consider removing the lead's stadium capacity, which, while not quite fixed, seems like digression here, as opposed to in a team article, though by encyclopedic convention not necessarily in an "infobox" which is a Mecca for statisticians... and dare I say it should this convention-only view not prevail (philosophically, what in encyclopedias cannot be improved by numbers?) the digression into this outstandingly ample capacity is Peacock which is elsewhere not seen even for such a top flight team. The records really do however each stand out in US basketball for the season and make a great read for anyone aspiring in the whole sport. - Adam37 Talk 20:19, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Done, but not really sure why.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:05, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
