List of Pittsburgh Steelers first-round draft picks

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]

Support as nominator. --Gman124^talk 03:28, 5 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.
  - Done Those were my fault. Black ngold29 18:17, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The first two references under "Specific" are identical; use the <ref name=> trick to avoid this.
  - Done --Gman124^talk 21:45, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Shouldn't there be a reference for each draft pick? Currently, only the years without draft picks are referenced.
  - That's already under general references for why put the same reference for all those picks. As Crzycheetah said at bottom "it's redundant to cite the same ref over and over and over again". --Gman124^talk 21:35, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- 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.
  - Done --Gman124^talk 02:44, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- ~~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.~~
  - Done --Gman124^talk 03:13, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- ~~Double-check your trade notes because I see that you did not mention that the Steelers traded their 2006 pick to the Giants.~~
  - Where does it say that? --Gman124^talk 19:58, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Link college pages to more specific ones, football pages. See 2007 NFL Draft.
  - Done Linked all colleges to go to their sports club where applicable. --Gman124^talk 23:11, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Trade notes are missing "the"'s, The Steelers...to the [full team name].
  - Done --Gman124^talk 18:36, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- They're missing periods, as well. Also link the team names.
  - Done --Gman124^talk 18:36, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Whenever they traded their picks away, mention what overall pick it was. Not all notes mention them.
  - Done --Gman124^talk 18:36, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't understand the "k" note, could you reword it?
  - Done --Gman124^talk 18:36, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support In the footnotes, obtained or acquired? Choose one. Also, most of the comments I made here apply to the Rams page, as well.--Crzy cheetah 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.--Crzy cheetah 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]
    - It's redundant to cite the same ref over and over and over again.--Crzy cheetah 20:27, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - Agreed, I do not see how citing this source on every line improves the article in anyway. I cannot find any other FLs that cite every draft. Black ngold29 22:51, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
- Is "Halfback" a proper noun? I don't think it needs to be capitalised in the lead.
  - Done Gman124^talk 17:33, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "first round selection" - shouldn't that first round be first-round?
  - Done Gman124^talk 17:33, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "Enshrined in the..." - sounds very final - why not "admitted to the..."?
  - Done Gman124^talk 17:33, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The red links should be sorted out.
  - Done Black ngold29 17:52, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- " the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl in 2005 at the age of 23." - is there a reference for this?
  - Done Black ngold29 17:35, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
