  • This precludes any other comments: does this topic even deserve an article? I know it's for the featured topic, but the article seems like content-forking to the extreme.
I asked rst20xx if content-forking is needed to make a topic featured, and I think he said yes... the discussion is somewhere in here... -- [[SRE.K.A.L.|L.A.K.ERS]] 02:31, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I couldn't find the discussion, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:36, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from my first comment and the list comments, everything else looks OK. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:02, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I added a link to List of members of the Basketball Hall of Fame (coaches) in the key; how does it look? I think I might change all NBA head coaches lists to be like this now that we have that article. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:40, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, why not. -- [[SRE.K.A.L.|L.A.K.ERS]] 02:47, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A pretty nice list, given that's there's not much to write, but here's a few things to fix:

  • The second paragraph talks about Brown, then jumps back to Vincent then back to Brown again.
Fixed. -- [[SRE.K.A.L.|L.A.K.ERS]] 21:14, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd move the playoff note to somewhere where it creates a better flow, perhaps combining it with the note that they're the newest team in the earlier paragraph.
Done. -- [[SRE.K.A.L.|L.A.K.ERS]] 21:14, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • To beef the article up, adding where Bickerstaff and Brown had coached just before their Bobcats tenure began may help.
If I were to add that in, wouldn't the sentence be unrelated to the article? -- [[SRE.K.A.L.|L.A.K.ERS]] 21:14, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hope this helps. Wizardman 20:31, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
