List of Philadelphia Eagles first-round draft picks
Self-Nomination copied the format from other first round draft picks pages, and created this page. Put references down at the bottom and the players whose pages don't exist aren't wikilinked. -- Gman 124 talk 15:15, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose, not enough in-line citations. GreenJoe 23:43, 27 May 2008 (UTC) Support Citations now meet my satisfaction. GreenJoe 13:34, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * added refernces. --Gman124 (talk) 13:11, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The references you've added are great. In the table itself, you have this nice, tidy notes section, but only a handful of the boxes are used for in-line citations. Do you see what I mean? GreenJoe 13:21, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I only added notes for picks that were involved in a trade, so do they need to be for others as well?. Gman124 (talk) 13:25, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, I didn't understand that. If possible, it would be great if you could. If not, let me know. 13:28, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

 * ✅ cut the opening sentence, since it didn't really give additional info.--Gman124 (talk) 13:58, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * WP:LS says don't wikilink the bold text
 * ✅moved the wikilink of Eagles to the next time Philadelphia Eagles is written. --Gman124 (talk) 13:53, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Put NFL in parentheses after "National Football League"✅
 * Per WP:ACCESS, don't use small writing (as in the key table) as it hinders poor-sighted people✅
 * I think other lists are using italics rather than bolding "No pick"s
 * ✅ the other lists use both bolding and italics, so I italicized the "No Picks" and changed it to No first-round draft pick.--Gman124 (talk) 13:47, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Image captions "Eagles" should be "Eagles'"✅


 *  Conditional support I will support as soon as those six articles are created. In sports pages like this, all items should be blue-linked(no red links or black text), meaning that all players should have their own articles. Those six players don't have an article in Wikipedia, even though they deserve to have one.-- Crzycheetah 02:32, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * added pages. -- Gman 124 talk 14:05, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Players who played on collegiate level are notable. There was a disamg. link that I fixed, so Harry Jones is a red link for now. I am going to support anyway, though. Thanks for your hard work.-- Crzycheetah 19:17, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * added Harry Jones as well. -- Gman 124 talk 19:24, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

That's it from me. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:55, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comments from
 * You don't actually state who the Philadelphia Eagles are - this is an important introductory concept for those unfamiliar with NFL.✅
 * "...after they went ..." unclear who "they" are in the context of this sentence.✅
 * "which ended the NFL's early era and started the NFL's modern era" a little clunky, and what exactly does it mean? Who said it was the end/start of eras?
 * I had copied that from other lists and the NFL article, but seemed kind of trivial to include that in this article so I have removed it. -- Gman 124 talk 14:23, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Jay Berwanger is linked twice in quick succession.✅
 * As is Chuck Bednarik.✅
 * Don't force the thumb size, just  is fine.
 * ✅ removed the size, but now the pic is too small. -- Gman 124 talk 13:52, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * remove spaces betweens notes (e.g. [a] [b] [d])✅
 * Colours alone should not be used to distinguish certain features (see WP:COLOR).✅
 * "Overall" or "overall" in the notes?✅
 * "profootballhof.com" or "Pro Football Hall of Fame official Web site" in citations?✅
 * You have "PhiladelphiaEagles.com" but not "NFL.com" - why not?
 * I have the NFL.com listed down at the bottom under general references, plus the NFL>com doesn't explain very clearly why the team didn't have the pick for some year, they just had traded to X or acquired from Y. while the PhiladelphiaEagles.com explains everything like what the Eagles got for trading their first round pick or what they gave away to get additional first round pick, so in my opinion PhiladelphiaEagles.com is just a better source. -- Gman 124 talk 13:52, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Support - Great job on fixing up the others' concerns, it seems to meet the featured list criteria. Hello32020 (talk) 21:27, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
