I think it meets all criteria and is ready to become featured. «  Milk's Favorite  Cøøkie  18:12, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Comments Gary King ( talk ) 18:17, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * En dash for "1955-56 NBA season" and the other year ranges
 * Yeah done. The first time while attempting this: I did " 1955-1956 " to all of them. Smart, I know. «  Milk's Favorite  Cøøkie  18:28, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Fit "National Basketball Association (NBA)" somewhere in there
 * Added. «  Milk's Favorite  Cøøkie  18:28, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Comments
 * Most Valuable Player + (MVP)
 * Added. «  Milk's Favorite  Cøøkie  23:17, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * MVP voting takes place... and Most Valuable Player was originally selected... - be consistent: abbr. or full name?
 * Abbreviation. «  Milk's Favorite  Cøøkie  23:17, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 5 times → five times
 * Changed. «  Milk's Favorite  Cøøkie  23:17, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Why is the table placed under Key subsection? I suggest removing that subsection.
 * Done. «  Milk's Favorite  Cøøkie  23:17, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Place the first image among the others because right now it creates a lot of unneeded white space.
 * Done. «  Milk's Favorite  Cøøkie  23:17, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Explain what the numbers in parentheses mean.
 * Explained. «  Milk's Favorite  Cøøkie  23:17, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Even though Gary King striked his comment about dashes, I still see hyphens in the season links in the lead.
 * Russell is a redirect
 * True, but per R.... (I did change it however) «  Milk's Favorite  Cøøkie  16:26, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * As Chris said below, add a new column for nationality, then make the table sortable.
 * Done. «  Milk's Favorite  Cøøkie  16:26, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * I don't get what you mean by "to the top player of the regular season."
 * I just removed it as its explained later on. «  Milk's Favorite  Cøøkie  23:17, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * You should link all the years
 * Linked. «  Milk's Favorite  Cøøkie  23:17, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Link "Hall of Famer".
 * Linked. «  Milk's Favorite  Cøøkie  23:17, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The picture on the intro is the MVP award for the Playoffs, not the regular season. The regular season one is the one where a basketball player is doing a lay-up.
 * Removed image, didn't see that. «  Milk's Favorite  Cøøkie  23:17, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
 * If all is done, I'll support.
 * You linked Hall of Famer to Hall of Famer. I meant linking it to Basketball Hall of Famer. Annoyomous 24  (talk) 16:57, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment The list looks great. However, the flags make the players column very messy. Could a nationality column be added, similar to NBA Sportsmanship Award? —Chris! ct 04:02, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. «  Milk's Favorite  Cøøkie  16:26, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Support —Chris! ct 18:29, 5 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * Lead is "National Basketball Association's Most Valuable Player (MVP)" title is "National Basketball Association Most Valuable Player Award" - is the official title "Association's ... Player" or "Association .... Award"? The lead suggests that the "Player" is an award...
 * Fixed. I see how the "'s" makes the sentence sounds awkward. And yes the MVP is an award.—Chris! ct 21:55, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Maurice Podoloff was the President of the NBA, not the Commissioner.
 * Well, NBA President is equaled to NBA Commissioner. I think it is just a different name for the same position. Even the official site calls him the first Commissioner.—Chris! ct 21:55, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I add a note to clearly explain that.—Chris! ct 22:31, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * "Voting is done by" yuck.
 * How about "Voting is conducted by ..."—Chris! ct 21:55, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * "three from each of the 30 NBA cities" perhaps explanation or reword to ensure non-NBA experts know what an NBA city is.
 * reword the sentence.—Chris! ct 21:55, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Is "regular-season" really hyphenated?
 * They aren't hyphenated. And from my understanding, they don't need to be hyphenated.—Chris! ct 21:55, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Consistent use of periods in the Key.
 * Fixed.—Chris! ct 21:55, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Why comma after Chamberlain in his caption?
 * Fixed.—Chris! ct 21:55, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Why can't I search on nationality?
 * What do you mean?—Chris! ct 21:55, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Should nationality be Citizenship if you have VIR in there? According to your second note, VIR players are USA by nationality...
 * OK, I will add back the US flag if it helps clarify the nationality/citizenship issue.—<font color="blue" face="Papyrus" size="3">Chris! ct 21:55, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Is there an NBA lists category you can add this to?
 * Fixed.—<font color="blue" face="Papyrus" size="3">Chris! ct 21:55, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
