 * ''Nominator(s): — Chris! c / t 02:45, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Hopefully, this will be the 64th NBA featured list.— Chris! c / t 02:45, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Comment it's been semi-protected for over a year now - is this still necessary? BencherliteTalk 16:13, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * It think we can try to unprotect it. Previously, this was a major target of vandalism.— Chris! c / t 18:24, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Unprotected with the blessing of the protecting admin, . Fingers crossed... BencherliteTalk 09:06, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Support – Nice list that meets FL standards.  Giants2008  ( 17–14 ) 19:26, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Comments
 * 1) Could u please add a year column instead of adding this under the Names? This would allow sorting according to Year.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 10:38, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) Why not have an image column? This wouldn't crush the list that much since "MVP won", Championships won and Finals MVP won are mostly none and could have their width reduced.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 10:38, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Not a good idea since the image column would be empty. Most players don't have free image available.— Chris! c / t 21:35, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Seems like 22 of the 50 don't have an image...--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 21:49, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Half of the column is empty. That doesn't seem visually pleasing for me. What about I added some images up in the voters section? That way, the article has more image without having to add an additional column to the table. Also the first point done.— Chris! c / t 21:56, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, please add the images to the voters list, choose the best (images) players, add a good caption and alt text.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 22:07, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * This will take a while, but considered it done.— Chris! c / t 22:09, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Done.— Chris! c / t 01:39, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Please add one more image to the voters section.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 08:35, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
 * (outdent) I originally had one more but not enough room.— Chris! c / t 22:43, 7 October 2009 (UTC)


 * 1) "as the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team " I think the "the" is incorrect here.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 17:46, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Done— Chris! c / t 18:58, 8 October 2009 (UTC)


 * 1) Doesn't "Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City" and "Commodore Hotel" have wikilinks?--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 17:46, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
 * No— Chris! c / t 18:58, 8 October 2009 (UTC)


 * 1) How does the vote exactly work? Does each one of them write a 50 member list or do they raise hands for supports and opposes or what exactly?--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 17:46, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Not clear. The NBA never disclosed that.— Chris! c / t 18:58, 8 October 2009 (UTC)


 * 1) There is a problem with the Year sorting because of the dashes. The third and 4th time you click sort by year stay on dash.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 09:50, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I added a hidden sort key so it should sort before the earliest year.— Chris! c / t 22:44, 9 October 2009 (UTC)


 * "Alongside the selection of the 50 greatest players, was the selection of the Top 10 Coaches in NBA History." "Alongside the selection of the 50 greatest players, was the selection of the Top 10 Teams in NBA History." Are very similar to each other, could u rephrase one?--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 19:19, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Fixed— Chris! c / t 22:52, 11 October 2009 (UTC)


 * The title "50 Greatest Players in NBA History" doesn't really reflect the content. The list isn't just about the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History but also the Top 10 coaches and top 10 teams. Should these lists even be in this list?--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 19:19, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The lead doesn't include the top 10 coaches and teams. Please summarize the sections in the lead.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 19:19, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, the primary announcement made by the NBA is about the 50 players, so the title reflects that. Both the coach and team lists are just additional honors selected to accompany with the main player list. Also, the second sentence in the lead already mentions the coach and team lists. Don't you think that summarize the sections adequately?— Chris! c / t 22:49, 11 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Everything seems fine, Suppport--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 19:46, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
