NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award
I am nominating with Chrishomingtang this article because we believe this is featured list material. Annoyomous 24  21:17, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * Many of the statements in the lead are not sourced with a ref.
 * I will do that.— Chris!  c t 00:41, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Add several refs.— Chris!  c t 05:39, 16 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I suggest stating how the recipient of the award is determined.
 * Already did. Oh, I am looking at another page. Not done yet.— Chris!  c t 00:41, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Done.— Chris!  c t 05:39, 16 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I also suggest stating the amount of different players that have received the awards.
 * I will add that.— Chris!  c t 00:41, 16 July 2008 (UTC)


 * In the notes section, Because Tim Duncan is a United States citizen by birth, as are all natives of the U.S. Virgin Islands, he was able to played for the U.S. internationally., why is "played" in past tense?
 * Fixed.— Chris!  c t 00:41, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Comments
 * Not keen on "PLAYER (X)" why not "Name (X)"? DONE!
 * Why not make the table sortable? DONE!
 * "until a smaller trophy was introduced in 2005." needs reference.
 * Got it— Chris!  c t 19:52, 16 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Not keen on "(naturalized U.S. citizen since 1993)" - why not flow it in the prose rather than crowbar in a statement in parentheses? DONE!

Comments
 * "The award was decided by a panel of 9 media members," -- "was" or "is"? If it's "was", then where is the bit about how it's decided now?
 * DONE! -- K. Annoyomous  24  10:00, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * "In at least one NBA Finals" this is too vague. Can it be tied down to a specific number?
 * I don't know how to find the exact number but I wrote "some" instead of "at least one". -- K. Annoyomous  24  10:00, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Well I noticed the statement has two references. What do those say, because "some" is just as vague unfortunately. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 15:41, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The first reference is the most recent one, which doesn't have fan balloting. The second one which it the 2007 one does. So I really don't know. -- K. Annoyomous  24  17:07, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I changed it back to "at least one" because that is the only fact we know based on the references. I know it is vague but at least it is better than "some" and is verifiable.— Chris!  c t 17:47, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I'd like to see the image of the trophy moved to the lede section
 * We can't do that as the NBA Awards template has to be the most uprighted thing on the article. -- K. Annoyomous  24  10:00, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh. You could position it to the left, if it doesn't squash the text too much. I guess it's not a big deal. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 15:41, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I really do think it will squash it. I'll try it right now but I don't think it'll work. If it doesn't work, I won't reply. -- K. Annoyomous  24  17:07, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Currently, I feel that the picture looks sort of bad. Lets just see what others think. -- K. Annoyomous  24  17:14, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I think it looks bad, too.— Chris!  c t 17:51, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Me too! :P Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 18:32, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, looks poor but since it exists, it must be used here really. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:38, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Changed it back! -- K. Annoyomous  24  18:39, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Is there anything for an EL section?
 * There is none. -- K. Annoyomous  24  10:00, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Where is the [edit] tab for the Winners section?
 * To be honest, I don't know. -- K. Annoyomous  24  10:00, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I think the position of the template prevents the [edit] tab from appearing. That is my guess.— Chris!  c t 17:51, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Where is the contents table?
 * DONE! -- K. Annoyomous  24  10:00, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

That's all I have, I think. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 08:48, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
