Comments from 
 * Lead
 * The award is given to the British team that "has achieved the most notable performance in British sport". -- Its really irrelevant IMO to link team, its very common. -Uninked
 * If this is also a tie the award is shared. -- Comma after "tie" -Done
 * In the past the winner of the Team of the Year Award has been chosen by public vote[3] and picked by listeners of Radio 5 Live.[ -- Comma after past -Done
 * The England national rugby union team and the Ryder Cup team has won the award on five occasions, each sharing the award with another team on one of those occasions.[6] Liverpool F.C. have won the award three times. -- Clarify that these are the most wins -Done
 * The largest winning team was in 2000; Team GB consisted of all the British representatives at the 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games. -- what does TB mean?
 * It was "Team GB" and I have just linked the term as it redirects to the correct place. Rambo's Revenge (talk)  21:47, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Image
 * Remove the full stop from the caption of the first image. -Done
 * Notes
 * You should make a sub-notes section for all the entries, or just one section for notes, its inconsistent having a main section and 1 subsection for notes. -Done
 * By nation
 * The number of wins column does not sort properly. -Sorted :x
 * References
 * 35 - The URL is not the "work", the site is published by both publishers and the work is from both of them, which is in the publishers, so its not necessary to state the "work" because its the same as the publisher -Done

 * "The award is given to the British team" Canada isn't British (I should know), and so isn't the European Union. just remove British.
 * Done. The rules say "To the (British only) team that has achieved the most notable performance in British sport.", so I have added the word "currently" to clarify. Rambo's Revenge (talk)</b>  10:20, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Isn't Auto racing the sport instead of Formula One? -Done
 * Couldn't you note which league were the football, rugby union, rugby league, etc. teams in?
 * I could but I don't think it is particularly relevent. For example, some teams may have finished low in the domestic league that year, but won some other European title. In fact, all but one of those teams were competing in their respective top flight at the time. <b style="color:#E32636;">Rambo's Revenge</b> <b style="color:#FFA500;">(talk)</b>  10:20, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * But why do you link motor racing to Formula One? --  SRE.K.A.L. | L.A.K.ERS ]] 19:16, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Same reason I had linked "Equestrianism" to Eventing in 1972, but Showjuping in 1979. It provides the more information about the specific type of sport if the reader is interested. The summary tables below use the general links for "Motor racing" and "Equestrianism" though. <b style="color:#E32636;">Rambo's Revenge</b> <b style="color:#FFA500;">(talk)</b>  19:37, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Why the table of the section "By year", is so shrunken?  C anniba  loki  04:11, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The table didn't shrink with the width=50%, but actually got larger for better visualization. --  SRE.K.A.L. | L.A.K.ERS ]] call me Keith 04:36, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Basically what SRE.K.A.L.24 says, the forced width is actually stretching the table. As for why 50%, if you try and stretch it across to the images there becomes an accessibility issue, as for other resolutions or smaller un-maximised windows, the table can get forced to start after the images which frankly looks awful.

 * Comment Looks good, but there is some over-linking in the references section. Do BBC and BBC Sport really need to be linked dozens of times? You should just link the first use. (If you address this within the next three hours, let me know and I'll promote it today). -- Scorpion <sup style="color:black;">0422  20:58, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
