List of Heisman Trophy winners
Probably some of my best work in lists, I have reviewed the criteria and think this list is ready. STORMTRACKER   94  Go Sox! 11:41, 5 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Further comments
 * Consider right aligning the number of points column so the commas line up.
 * Check the names link to the correct people, e.g. Steve Owens, Pat Sullivan etc. You can do this by piping another parameter, the actual article name, into the sortname template after the surname, e.g. Steve Owens.
 * Add a break between Trophies and won in the heading of the second table, it should help make the column thinner.
 * That's it, very much better... The Rambling Man (talk) 14:32, 14 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Support. I've given the article a thorough copyedit, have added six more citations, clarified the lede, and generally cleaned up the article. I've checked each listing for correctness, and have attempted to clear up the circumstances around the DAC's loss of its original building. The only thing that I'd suggest adding would be a column for the second-place finisher each year with their point total. That would give readers an idea of how the vote totals changed over time and give an indication of closer races than more distant ones. Good work. JKBrooks85 (talk) 08:24, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Question Considering that this list is about college football, wouldn't it be better to note which winners have been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame? -- Scorpion0422 13:14, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Off hand, I'd imagine that 95% percent are in there. I could be wrong, but if that's the case, then you wouldn't get much distinction. That being said, if they are all in there, it's a fact that should be mentioned in the prose. JKBrooks85 (talk) 09:12, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Then perhaps you should add a sentence about which winners aren't in the College Football Hall of Fame. -- Scorpion0422 20:20, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Support Well cited, nicely done. Meets all criteria. - Milk's   Favorite   Cookie  16:09, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Support (same reasons as stated by Milk's Favorite Cookie), but with one very minor issue. My issue: The sequence of the images of the winners is odd. While the names of winners are in chronological sequence (1935 to 2007), the images are not (1992-1986-2004-2005). I would fix this myself, but I can't tell if this was intentional (for some reason that I can't perceive). --Orlady (talk) 17:37, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
