I present another draft history list for your inspection. I've taken the comments from the other lists I've nominated and applied them here, so I don't know what can be wrong with the list. But fire away. Noble Story (talk) 03:14, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
- I think the three short paragraphs in the lead do not help this list at all. The first paragraph does not even talk about this page.
- The consensus seems to be not to do the "this is a list of...". See here.
- The consensus says not to repeat the title, but you can describe what the list is about.--Crzycheetah 05:45, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I think any person clicking on the link "Memphis Grizzlies draft history" would understand that it is about the Memphis Grizzlies draft history. But I've made a little change. Hope it satisfies.
- OR a person who clicked on the link would doubt whether he clicked on the right link. I am still not satisfied with the lead; there has to be two paragraphs at most. Plus, I see parentheses in the last paragraph that shold be removed.--Crzycheetah 21:03, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I've added the required sentence, and removed the parentheses. Noble Story (talk) 09:41, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're missing a couple of "rights to"'s in the trade notes. Also, there is an inconsistency here, sometimes you use "draft rights to" and sometimes just "rights to". I personally don't care which version you use as long as it's consistent.- I've corrected the rights, but I don't see where I'm missing any.
- Why do you put the "from TEAM" notes under the "picks" column while the "traded to TEAM" notes under the "players" column?
- I was told to here. Noble Story (talk) 05:31, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I know, but why you left the "traded to TEAM" under the "players" column? I think all notes should be under one column.--Crzycheetah 05:45, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Because the pick was traded, so I put it in the pick column. The player (or his rights) were traded, so I put the notes in the player column. Noble Story (talk) 09:53, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Now I think it will be better to add a new column for notes. The notes were in one column before, so a new column wasn't needed back then. Now that you're putting those notes in two columns, the table gets messy. --Crzycheetah 21:03, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- OK, I've put it in a seperate column. Hope it satisfies. Noble Story (talk) 09:30, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Support Even though I am the only other contributor to this list so far, I believe I have the right to support. Most of my edits were minor, anyway.--Crzycheetah 22:51, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support — Nice work on the NBA articles! Geologik (talk) 07:27, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
