I am nominating this article because I believe it should be promoted to a featured list.—Chris! ct 22:28, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Lead
- Players receive 5 points for a first team vote, 3 point for a second team vote, and 1 point for a third team vote. - I'm pretty sure 3 point should be pluralized.

- The Table
- Something in the parameters must be faulty since at the bottom, the table has grid lines all around, but as you go up, they disappear.
- The Table
- I don't see any problem on my browser. Not sure how to fix it.—Chris! ct 05:00, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Since 1946, there were only two teams. But in 1988, the All-NBA Team was extended to three teams. Run-on sentences. Also, why did they choose to make three teams?
- First paragraph in lead is rather long. Recommend dividing.
- Done. As for your question about why they choose to make three teams, I will try to find out.—Chris! ct 19:57, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I couldn't find out why they choose to make three teams in 1988.—Chris! ct 19:50, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- About the legend, I feel that you should either use the symbol or use the color. Personally, I'd go with the color, but it's your choice.
- Per WP:ACCESS, both symbol and color have to be used. For example, see Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/NBA Sportsmanship Award.—Chris! ct 23:03, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- From 1946 to 1955, players were selected without regard to position. But since 1956, each team consists of two forwards, one center, and two guards. Run-on sentence.
- Done —Chris! ct 23:14, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm think whether or not if its relevant if a player received the NBA Most Valuable Player in the same year. You don't have to remove it yet, I'm still pondering.
- I think it is relevant. —Chris! ct 23:14, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
I'm not seeing the reference "Olojuwon and Knobler" (current ref 7) listed elsewhere in the references.
- Otherwise sources look good, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 15:08, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I remove it. Don't know why it is there.—Chris! ct 19:45, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
- I'm really unhappy about the small text. Wikipedia should be Accessible to all, not just those with perfect vision.
- Well, I am aware of WP:ACCESS. The reason I didn't use regular text is because the page doesn't have enough room for the table.—Chris! ct 19:00, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I guess I solved the problem. I increase the width of the table and resize the text.—Chris! ct 19:24, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Just a suggestion, but to reduce width you could remove the flags. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 03:02, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- MOS:NUM, number under ten in prose should be spelled out, instead of digits.
- Fixed —Chris! ct 19:00, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I dislike the navbox in the lead. Why isn't it at the bottom of the page?
- All other award pages are like this. —Chris! ct 19:00, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: Chris_Mullin, Detroit_Falcons, St._Louis_Bombers, and Walter_Davis are ambiguous links. — Dispenser 00:46, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Cr. 6—Given that two columns contain a sea of US flags, couldn't the dire shortage of horizontal space be addressed by removing both columns and using superscript footnotes to indicate non-US nationality, with a note at the top that US is the default? Tony (talk) 09:21, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose The table is too wide; there are too many columns. I strongly suggest splitting the table into at least two sections.--Crzycheetah 23:08, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply to two editors above: I guess I will not split the table yet. Instead, I will follow Tony1's suggestion and try cutting the nationality column. If that doesn't work, then I might split the table.—Chris! ct 23:31, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
