  • No bold links in the lead.
    • Shouldn't it be bolded per WP:MOSBOLD?--S_RX 13:27, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
      • Doesn't MOSBOLD say by all means bold it, but don't link in the bold? The Rambling Man (talk) 20:11, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
  • "occurred among" - "took place among"?
    • • • Oh, right, I misread your comment. Sorry.--S_RX 20:16, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
    •  Done
  • "draft occurred on " - "took place on"?
    •  Done
  • Link Vince McMahon?
    •  Done
  • "at noon ET" if you're not going to use UTC then you must link what ET is.
    •  Done
  • "Source: World Wrestling Entertainment Official Draft Results" no need for it to be small.
    •  Done
  • Notes don't need to be sortable. Not useful for free text.
    •  Done
  • Not keen on "Brand (to)" and "Brand (from)" firstly the order seems odd to me - I'd have the from column first, but also not keen on the wording anyway.
    • Well the thing is, since matches determined the draft, brand to represents the winner of the draft pick, so it would read, "the winner of the first pick (#) is the Raw brand (brand to, who drafted Batista (employee), a male wrestler, from the SmackDown brand (brand from)" Then the note about how Raw got the pick.--S_RX 13:27, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
  • For non-experts it may be useful to know what kind of employee each of the draftees were (e.g. Diva, announcer etc).
    • I added a role column in each table.--S_RX 13:27, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
  • twenty-eight ->28.
    •  Done
  • Any reason not to have the summary first, before the raw tables?
    • YFixed
  • twenty-two->22
    •  Done
  • "The rating for the three hours was 3.40" what does 3.40 mean?
    • It means rating point, but I added TVR in their, which is the term used to measure rating points.--S_RX 13:27, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Category:World Wrestling Entertainment is not needed since you have Category:WWE Raw which itself is a sub-category of the former.
    •  Done

• Comment Several consecutive sentences in the first paragraph begin with "The Draft" so please change this so it isn't as repetitive. Gary King (talk) 07:20, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
  •  Done -- iMatthew _T.C. 10:15, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
• "The Draft, for the second consecutive year, took" could probably be "For the second consecutive year, the Draft took" and one less comma, too.
• For "Source: World Wrestling Entertainment Official Draft Results" and the other one, create a new row in the table that spans the entire table, align it center, then place the reference in there. Like at Charlie_Sheen#Career_awards at the bottom of the table, put References: [1][2][3] etc.

• •  Done, hope I did that right.--S_RX 18:05, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

comments

• "McMahon called fans" -> "McMahon telephoned fans". Or whatever. I'm sure he didn't just shout "Matthew Edwards!" at the TV screen
• Remove the overlinking of WWE Superstar, Diva and commentator. After appearing in the lead, they also appear in "Background" and "Superstar selections"
