 * Oppose Comments from KV5
 * The lead still needs a copyedit. I've spotted at least one sentence fragment and some punctuation/grammar issues. I'll see if I can get to it at some point today. &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  14:48, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * O.K.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:59, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Copyedit is done. &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  20:30, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * O.K., but why did you say that the McDonald's was the largest, when Parade has 40 players?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 20:59, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Because I'm dumb. &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  12:48, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * O.K., but is there anything I can do to get your support?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:00, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The list looks fine to me right now, but I'll wait to see what others have to say. &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  14:19, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Support &mdash; final once-over looks good. &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  12:25, 19 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment - I think it would be useful to state if these players played for a college team and for which college team, but that is just a suggestion. Remember (talk) 16:58, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Support - looks good to me. Remember (talk) 23:24, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Ref Waiting on KV5's response, if any, to his group of comments.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 00:03, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, since KV5 seems content, I'll support the list.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 21:03, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

I added the NCAA Most outstanding player to the notes section for Wayne Ellington before I realized that the chart wasn't really listing individual college awards. Should this chart include these awards, and if so, which ones? Remember (talk) 13:16, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Tony, has this been issue been resolved? Dabomb87 (talk) 17:11, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 * It seems to be a non-issue.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 17:42, 10 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * My main problem is that the lead doesn't flow with me. Its all over the place, its goes from explaining the year 2006's selections but it really doesn't give a background to the selections and if it does, its located too late in the lead. I recommend you give the reader a background to the selections, the teams that there are in the selection process, and other etc. information that is needed. So basically, like move the information regarding the history/background of the selectors/selecting process to come first before the information about the 2006 event.
 * Moved a bit.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:07, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * In addition, add some transitions in the lead, like instead of "McDonald's named blah blah" why not "For the 2006 selections, McDonald's selected blah blah".
 * Many MOS guides discourage, just adding words for that effect. I made a few changes though.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:07, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't see the need to link United States in the lead.
 * You are right.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:19, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * "In the table below, each column represents an All-American team." -- this is a bit misleading since not every column is about the team, its more about the players.
 * O.K.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:44, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The publishers for NBA.com isn't necessarily "NBA.com" that's just the URL. The publisher is the National Basketball Association
 * Fixed.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:16, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Ref 50, needs a publisher, not a URL.
 * thanks.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:54, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The publisher for the Naismith awards needs to be either capitalized and/or reevaluated to being published by the Atlanta Sports Council or Atlanta Tip Off Club.
 * Fixed.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:48, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * "— - player not named to any team by that selector" - probably change that dash to the other types of dash you have for the rest of the key.
 * Thanks.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:52, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * You can add a to the reference in the "Draft" column so you don't have to stretch that column out.--  T ru  c o   503 01:46, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 * O.K.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:26, 17 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Support -- Issues resolved; meets WP:WIAFL. Good work!-- T ru  c o   503 15:40, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
