List of New York Giants first-round draft picks

 * Nominator(s): Giants2008  ( Talk ) 22:12, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

It's been a long time since I've nominated a list at FLC, and I thought it would be nice to do something here other than typical director duties for a change. This is a fairly new list on one of my favorite sports teams (clearly), which combines features of existing NFL team draft pick FLs and the great series of MLB draft pick lists. Following a pre-FLC talk page review by The Rambling Man, I'm confident that the list meets FL standards and will address feedback, as always. Giants2008 ( Talk ) 22:12, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Overall, a nice list. Some comments:
 * franchise that were founded not sure we need the passive at all here.
 * Done. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 18:50, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
 * which had been voted on just "voted on" here
 * Changed it another way to tighten up the writing. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 18:50, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Can you make "No first round pick" sort below actual players selected?
 * I had to remove the sort templates and use dashes to prevent those years from sorting with the ones in which players were selected. Unfortunately, doing the dashes with sort templates makes them sort on top, which I wanted to avoid. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 18:50, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
 * ISBN suggests using 13-digit ISBN numbers. Converters are available on the aforementioned page.
 * You made my day with the converter suggestion. I've never been able to figure out how to make the ISBNs consistent, particularly when I source information to something found on Google Books. The Library of Congress tool will be very helpful to me in the future, and made short work of the ISBNs here. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 18:50, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
 * File:LT 2009.jpg, File:Carl Banks 2014 (cropped).jpg, File:Philip Rivers 2006-10-01.jpg, and File:2012 Packers vs Giants - Jason Pierre-Paul.jpg need personality rights warnings. File:Rodney Hampton 2011.PNG needs to be transferred to the Commons, an information template, and a personality rights warning.
 * I think these are all done now. Please check the Hampton image, because this is the first time I've messed with the Commons transfer tool in six years and I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't perfect. It did put the information template in automatically, which was nice. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 18:50, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Overall, just some pedanticisms needed for a featured list. Seattle (talk) 23:05, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. All points should be addressed above. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 18:50, 6 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Image, changes look good. Support. Seattle (talk) 19:36, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Support. Sourcing is good and I did not pick out any textual errors. All the images check out. Good work my man. Disc Wheel ( Talk  +  Tontributions )  22:00, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Support: Great list. The only thing I would change is removing the red links. Looks fine other than that.

 * I ended up creating an article for one of the red-linked players (they were on my list of things to do even before this comment), and still have the others on my agenda. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 00:53, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
