 * Comments
 * No bold links in the lead.
 * Shouldn't it be bolded per WP:MOSBOLD?-- S R X  13:27, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Doesn't MOSBOLD say by all means bold it, but don't link in the bold? The Rambling Man (talk) 20:11, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * "occurred among" - "took place among"?
 * Oh, right, I misread your comment. Sorry.-- S R X  20:16, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * "draft occurred on " - "took place on"?
 * Link Vince McMahon?
 * "at noon ET" if you're not going to use UTC then you must link what ET is.
 * "Source: World Wrestling Entertainment Official Draft Results" no need for it to be small.
 * Notes don't need to be sortable. Not useful for free text.
 * Not keen on "Brand (to)" and "Brand (from)" firstly the order seems odd to me - I'd have the from column first, but also not keen on the wording anyway.
 * Well the thing is, since matches determined the draft, brand to represents the winner of the draft pick, so it would read, "the winner of the first pick (#) is the Raw brand (brand to, who drafted Batista (employee), a male wrestler, from the SmackDown brand (brand from)" Then the note about how Raw got the pick.-- S R X  13:27, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * For non-experts it may be useful to know what kind of employee each of the draftees were (e.g. Diva, announcer etc).
 * I added a role column in each table.-- S R X  13:27, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * twenty-eight ->28.
 * Any reason not to have the summary first, before the raw tables?
 * Fixed
 * twenty-two->22
 * "The rating for the three hours was 3.40" what does 3.40 mean?
 * It means rating point, but I added TVR in their, which is the term used to measure rating points.-- S R X  13:27, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Category:World Wrestling Entertainment is not needed since you have Category:WWE Raw which itself is a sub-category of the former.

 * Comment Several consecutive sentences in the first paragraph begin with "The Draft" so please change this so it isn't as repetitive. Gary King ( talk ) 07:20, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

 * "The Draft, for the second consecutive year, took" could probably be "For the second consecutive year, the Draft took" and one less comma, too.
 * For "Source: World Wrestling Entertainment Official Draft Results" and the other one, create a new row in the table that spans the entire table, align it center, then place the reference in there. Like at Charlie_Sheen at the bottom of the table, put References: [1][2][3] etc.

 * ✅, hope I did that right.-- S R X  18:05, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

 * "McMahon called fans" -> "McMahon telephoned fans". Or whatever. I'm sure he didn't just shout "Matthew Edwards!" at the TV screen
 * Remove the overlinking of WWE Superstar, Diva and commentator. After appearing in the lead, they also appear in "Background" and "Superstar selections"
