List of Detroit Red Wings draft picks

 * Nominator(s): Rejectwater (talk) 20:35, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I think it is a super awesome list. It has crawled through the peer review process and come out clean on the other side, as far as I can tell, so this is the next step. I look forward to hearing your input and acting on your recommendations. Thank you. Rejectwater (talk) 20:35, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - what does the "year" column relate to? It's not in the key, and as a non-ice hockey fan I can't for the life of me figure out what it means......... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 16:13, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I think it should be "Round": relating to which round of that year's draft the player was selected in. But I'll let the nominator confirm that. Either way, it should be mentioned in the Key for non-experts.  Harrias  talk 19:30, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Ha ha- yes, it should have been "Round". I agree "Year" in that column made no sense whatsover.  Thanks. Rejectwater (talk) 23:03, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
 * You want "Round" explained in the key? "Draft" and "Pick" as well I presume?  I had thought they were self-explanatory, but, as you say, I am intimately familiar with the subject matter.  Rejectwater (talk) 11:52, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and added all three to the key to prevent any possible confusion. Rejectwater (talk) 12:25, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Comments
 * "are a ... team" followed by "The team is..." reads a little odd to me.
 * Yes, interesting. Is the Detroit Red Wings plural?  Or are the team singular?  I went with "are". Rejectwater (talk) 15:41, 19 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Link NHL Entry Draft first time round.
 * Done. Rejectwater (talk) 15:41, 19 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't know what a "penalty minute" is.
 * In the lead I have changed "penalty minutes" to "penalties in minutes" to match it's usage in the key and have added links for goals, assists, points, and penalties in minutes. Rejectwater (talk) 15:54, 20 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Please ensure all tables, including key tables, comply with MOS:DTT.
 * I have rewritten the key tables and modified the main table to comply with MOS:DTT, as far as my current understanding of it. Rejectwater (talk) 15:54, 20 July 2013 (UTC)


 * You had commas in the "thousands" in the lead, e.g. 1,227 but not in the table, any reason for the inconsistency?
 * No, there was no reason. Went with no comma.  Rejectwater (talk) 15:54, 20 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Ref should be Ref(s).
 * Done. Rejectwater (talk) 15:41, 19 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Where are the players that have nothing in the Ref column referenced?
 * Reference 8 covers Draft, Round, Pick, Player, Nationality, and Position. Reference 9 covers Draft, Round, Pick, Player, Postion, Games Played, Goals, Assists, Points, and Penalties in Minutes.  Each of these column headers has a link or links to these references as appropriate.   References in the "Refs" column cover Wins, Losses, Ties, Overtime Losses, Goals Against Average, Played at least one game with the Red Wings, Spent entire NHL career with the Red Wings, Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, and/or Number retired by the Red Wings specifically for each player as necessary. Rejectwater (talk) 15:41, 19 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Refs 4, 5, 8, 11, 128, 131.... etc need to use en-dash in the titles.
 * Done. Rejectwater (talk) 15:54, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Support. Exhaustive list, well researched & organized. Seems to make improvements on other team draft pick FLs in WP:Hockey. My only minor complaint is no pictures, but I guess due to width that had to be sacrificed. Anthony (talk) 13:44, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, there used to be quite a few pictures, but they made the page clunky due to the width of the table. Thank you for your kind words and support.  Regards, Rejectwater (talk) 15:41, 19 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Support: Good job on meeting every single criteria for an FL!  SoapFan12 20:24, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
