It's been a while since I nominated a list, and since baseball's nearly listed out at this point, I'm bringing over a football list instead, one based off the newly promoted List of North Carolina Tar Heels in the NFL Draft.

This one gives us nearly 70 players from Hawaii. Only a handful of big football names on the list, but I fund the non-football guys more interesting; we have at least one musician and one mayor on this list, as well as a murderer sadly. I addressed everything in advance that I think would be an issue, so hopefully this will be a rather easy list for you all to tackle. Wizardman 06:08, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Perhaps link the AFL Draft to "separate draft" instead of just "draft" to make it clear where the link is going (otherwise the reader may believe it is simply a link to the article on drafts in general).
  • Also the tables in the key need to meet WP:DTT (specifically use of scope and a caption).
  • Any reason the table isn't sortable? It would be nice to be able to sort for instance by overall pick and NFL team.
  • Some references use the ISO date formatting and some write them out. Please be consistent.
  • It would be nice if works/publishers such as ESPN and Sports Illustrated were linked, either every time or on first occasion. For information from the NFL, could you please be consistent about spelling it out in full or abbreviating it, and make sure either the first or all are linked.

Overwise a nice list. Arsenikk (talk) 16:12, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If I remember right I tried making one of these sortable once before, and because of the way the years are listed (just one for each group), adding a sort option breaks the table completely. If I were to split the years and make that column like everything else then it would work, but since no other draft lists have that I'll get a second opinion on that first. The rest I'll address soon. Wizardman 17:45, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The sortability code was changed not that long ago. I tried making the table sortable and it works good to me, as the first column is "fixed" automatically. Have a try at it and see if you're happy. Arsenikk (talk) 18:47, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Done except for the DTT thing, since I'm not sure what else is needed even after reading that. The colors are different and different icons are used, which I figure should address any accessibility concerns. Wizardman 16:23, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

  • "One warrior, Jim Mills, is a member of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame." "warrior" needs capitalization.
  • Photos could use alt text. Giants2008 (Talk) 23:15, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Is there a reason that "Hawaiʻi" has alternative spellings throughout this list?
  • " drafted into the National Football League (NFL) since the league began holding drafts" this maybe boilerplate by now, but I've just realised that this repeats "league" and "draft" in a single sentence.
  • "the merger agreements" vs "the merger agreement".
  • Not sure Notes needs to be sortable.
  • You have NT in the key but it's not used. Check others.
  • You link NFL.com in ref 3, but it's already been used in ref 2.

  • For the first one, the only time Hawai'i is used is the one time that the University itself is referenced. I could change it to Hawaii but it would just be a redirect to the article with the apostrophe anyway. The rest I'll address now. Wizardman 18:34, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
