List of Denver Broncos first-round draft picks

 * Nominator(s): Crzycheetah 02:32, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Recently I noticed it's been over a year since I nominated a list here, so I decided to contribute a little more. I have been working on this list the past 5-6 days and now I believe it's ready to be nominated. I welcome any comments/criticism/questions! Thank you! -- Crzycheetah 02:32, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. I would still prefer to see all em dashes centered, but it's not enough to hold up an excellent list from FL status.

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 04:39, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * About.com (ref 5) isn't considered a reliable source.
 * Why? What's the reason?-- Crzycheetah 05:03, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No reputation for fact checking; many of the "writers" are not actually experts in their field. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:38, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'll change, thanks for explaining.-- Crzycheetah 18:11, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Newspapers should be in italics. You can do this by changing "publisher" to "work" in the citation templates.
 * Newspapers publish, maybe we need to contact the template editors and tell them to italicize the publishers?-- Crzycheetah 05:03, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * That's just a quirk of the cite templates. That publications are italicized is a major style convention. See WP:ITALICS. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:38, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Done! Except the two where newspapers publish AP's work.-- Crzycheetah 18:11, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Use "p.", not "pp.", for single pages. You can do this by changing "pages" to "page" in the citation templates.
 * Thanks, I was wondering how to do it. Done!-- Crzycheetah 05:03, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * National Football League and Denver Broncos shouldn't be italicized. Change "work" to publisher for those refs. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:18, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the helpful comments and support! Can you please cap your comments about sources, as well?-- Crzycheetah 06:07, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I like to keep source comments struck, not capped, so that the directors know the sources were checked by someone and so that anyone can add to them if necessary. Dabomb87 (talk) 13:22, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Note FLC is currently short of reviewers; please consider reviewing one or more on the nomination list if you have not already (this message is being posted to all running FLCs). Dabomb87 (talk) 23:20, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Support from KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 13:39, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Support – Nice to see a draft picks list at FLC; there haven't been many during my time as a reviewer. Looks like a nice one.  Giants2008  ( 17–14 ) 21:52, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

 * "They first participated in the..." They should be The Broncos, as it is starting a new paragraph.
 * Done!-- Cheetah  (talk)  01:35, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * "The Broncos participated in the AFL drafts until 1965..." Don't you mean 1966?
 * No, they participated on November 27, 1965.-- Cheetah   (talk)  01:35, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Just to avoid confusion, it would be better saying "1966 AFL Draft" then "1965", IMO. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  01:57, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * "from the University of Nebraska and University of Tennessee" --> "from the University of Nebraska and the University of Tennessee"
 * "The" is not necessary.-- Cheetah  (talk)  01:35, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * In the third paragraph, you should note that all the picks were from the first-round, just to avoid confusion that they were picked from other rounds.
 * The whole list is about first-round picks, why would there be a confusion?-- Cheetah  (talk)  01:35, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It's just that when you read this sentence: "The Broncos have selected players from the University of Nebraska and University of Tennessee three times each, the most from any university.", just like that, it sounds like you are talking about all the rounds, instead just the first. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  01:57, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * "Each year is linked to an article about that particular NFL Draft." The table also lists AFL Drafts.
 * Done!-- Cheetah  (talk)  01:35, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Is it OK now?-- Cheetah  (talk)  02:20, 25 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Support Everything looks good to me, though I agree with KV5 that more about the players can be added onto the lead. --  SRE.K.A.L. &#124; L.A.K.ERS ]]  06:24, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
