List of Pittsburgh Steelers first-round draft picks
Nominating this list for FLC. I think this list does meet featured list criteria. If you guys have any questions or comments, I would try to answer them. -- Gman 124 talk 16:57, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Support as nominator. -- Gman 124 talk 03:28, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment Might as well remove the bold from "The Pittsburgh Steelers" as this isn't an article about the Pittsburgh Steelers, but their first-round draft picks. Gary King ( talk ) 17:53, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ -- Gman 124 talk 19:56, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment A few potential corrections:
 * Photo captions should have punctuation at the end, since they're complete sentences.
 * ✅ Those were my fault.  Black ngold29  18:17, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The first two references under "Specific" are identical; use the trick to avoid this.
 * ✅ -- Gman 124 talk 21:45, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't there be a reference for each draft pick? Currently, only the years without draft picks are referenced.
 * That's already under general references for why put the same reference for all those picks. As Crzycheetah said at bottom "it's redundant to cite the same ref over and over and over again". -- Gman 124 talk 21:35, 4 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Comments


 * Support In the footnotes, obtained or acquired? Choose one. Also, most of the comments I made here apply to the Rams page, as well.--Crzycheetah 00:08, 11 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Object. Tables need references, too. Once those are added, consider this objection withdrawn.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 20:02, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That's what general references are for.--Crzycheetah 20:21, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * We have moved to inline references over a year ago. General references fail below even the GA standards today.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 20:25, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It's redundant to cite the same ref over and over and over again.--Crzycheetah 20:27, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Agreed, I do not see how citing this source on every line improves the article in anyway. I cannot find any other FLs that cite every draft.  Black ngold29  22:51, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Comments
 * Is "Halfback" a proper noun? I don't think it needs to be capitalised in the lead.
 * ✅  Gman 124 talk 17:33, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * "first round selection" - shouldn't that first round be first-round?
 * ✅ <font face="Comic Sans MS"> Gman 124 talk 17:33, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * "Enshrined in the..." - sounds very final - why not "admitted to the..."?
 * ✅ <font face="Comic Sans MS"> Gman 124 talk 17:33, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The red links should be sorted out.
 * ✅  <font color="#CDB87C">Black <font color="#CDB87C">ngold29  17:52, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * " the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl in 2005 at the age of 23." - is there a reference for this?
