National Basketball Association awards

[edit]

I am nominating this article with Chrishomingtang because we believe that this article is ready for this promotion. The reason why this article lacks pictures is because we both cannot find any that we can use that isn't non-free content. -- K. Annoyomous24 GO LAKERS! 01:03, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 18:36, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments
    • "The most recognizable team award " says who?
I will try to find a reference for that.—Chris! ct 18:40, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • "In 1964, it was named after Walter A. Brown, in honor " so what was it previously called?
I think it was unnamed.—Chris! ct 18:40, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Walter A. Brown Trophy is overlinked.
    • Why abbreviate BAA if you never use it?
    • "remained in used " in use.
    • " first individual awards are the " surely, "were"?
    • "The most recognizable individual award is the Most Valuable Player." says who?
I will try to find a reference for that.—Chris! ct 18:40, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • "First awarded in the 1956, it is awarded to the " awarded, awarded - replace the second with "presented" perhaps?
    • With only three images, I'd remove the column and have them down the right-hand side as upright thumbs.
    • "Current holder" needs scope (i.e. as of July 2008).
    • Current holder col does not sort correctly.

Everything is fixed except those three points—Chris! ct 18:40, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the "most recognizable award" phrases since I can't find any references for that.—Chris! ct 19:11, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Screenshot of [1]
  • Comment There seems to be a lot of whitespace between a header and the table because of the images. I uploaded a screenshot but I don't know how to fix this. -maclean 19:54, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see the problem on my computer. Tell me if you see the same thing. -- K. Annoyomous24 GO LAKERS! 20:15, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think you are looking at the page when I am editing it. I save it and then realize I made a mistake. So I fix it in my next edit. Try viewing the page now, it should look ok now.—Chris! ct 20:48, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I can see the whitespace, too.--Crzycheetah 22:14, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good now. I think it was the 87% table width was conflicting with the image (on my screen size and image size settings). maclean 00:29, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • In a way, the Walter A. Brown Trophy and the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy are sort of the same thing. They were awarded for same thing (correct me if 'm wrong there) just diffrent names and models. So maybe they could be merged into one row. BUC (talk) 18:00, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
But they are two different awards. Awarded to the same thing but different. Also, the Larry O'Brien Trophy preceded the Walter A. Brown Trophy. -- K. Annoyomous24 GO LAKERS! Please reply on my talk page. Thanks. 22:16, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, Walter A. Brown Trophy preceded the Larry O'Brien Trophy.—Chris! ct 19:17, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
