List of Football Academic All-America Team Members of the Year

 * Nominator(s): TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:00, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because the progress made during archive1 makes me feel that this should be featured-level with a few minor changes. TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:00, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Add a "(pictured in )" for Danny Wuerffel since it seems to be from much later in his life. Check the same for the other images as well.
 * I just added the feature to all images for consistency-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 14:25, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * You can remove the bolding from the image captions, since the information is already present in the table.
 * Support promotion as the above are minor issues, and the first nomination was closed just before I indicated my support there. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 05:21, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Comments

 * I think "The Football Academic All-America Team Member of the Year is the annual most outstanding singular college football athlete of the set of American football athletes selected for the Academic All-America Teams in a given year." would be a more grammatically correct opening
 * swapped in. Thx.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 14:37, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * "collegiate athletic competition (known as division)s" - why is the s outside the bracket?
 * Fixed.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 14:38, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * "For each division, a set of eight districts were delinieated." - the subject is "set", which is singular, so the verb should be singular ("was"). Also, "delineated" is spelt incorrectly
 * Thx.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 14:42, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * "For the NCAA Division I-level teams, the 2021–22 districts were as follows" - is more up to date info not available?
 * Up to and including 21-22 used a set of districts. Afterwards, districts were cast aside. I have tried to revise the text to better clarify this.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:21, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * "In 2022, the All-district selection process" - previously you had a capital D in "All-District"?
 * Fixed.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:42, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * "In addition, Tennis and Swimming & Diving were added" - none of these sports are proper nouns so they do not need capital letters
 * Thx.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:46, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * "Also, the qualifying G.P.A. was raised" - please write whatever GPA stands for in full with the abbreviation in brackets. I for one have no idea what a "GPA" is
 * Fixed for singular use.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:50, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * "was held separately for the college and University Divisions" - inconsistent capitalisaion
 * Thx.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:56, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * "From each team one winner for each sport was chosen from both the college and University Divisions" - and again here
 * Got it.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:03, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * "Thus, all twelve Academic All-American teams (Men's and women's basketball" - men's does not need a capital M
 * OK.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:20, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * "had one Academic All-American of the Year each of its divisions" => "had one Academic All-American of the Year for each of its divisions"
 * Done-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:24, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * "while in some sports Two-Year College, Canadian Institutions" - none of these words need capitals apart from "Canadian"
 * Thx.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:26, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * "into the districts for the other 4 sets" => "into the districts for the other four sets"
 * Fixed.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:27, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * "only Rob Zatechka had earned this award for Nebraska" => "only Rob Zatechka has earned this award for Nebraska"
 * Thx.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:29, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * "amd Mac Jones (2020–21)" - "and" is spelt wrong
 * Fixed.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:33, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * "all earned the ovearll award" - "overall" is spelt wrong
 * Thx.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:35, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * "Two-time Winners" - "winners" doesn't need a capital
 * I disagree. This is where title case is appropriate.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:40, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Why do you have the notes for the winning players within that section yet the notes to the "winners by school" get their own sub-heading? Just move them into the section with the table.
 * OK.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:17, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Also, none of the notes to the "Schools with multiple awards" section are complete sentences, so they should not have full stops.
 * Thx.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:21, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * That's what I got -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:19, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * User:ChrisTheDude all done except for the disagreement on title case.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:21, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:22, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
