Nominator(s): Hey man im josh (talk) 16:33, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

This is my 6th in the NFL team's first-round picks series and, if all goes well, it'll be the 26th list in the series promoted. I will, as always, do my best to respond quickly and address all comments, questions, and criticisms. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:33, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

• team based in Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. -- based in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex
• defensive tackle from TCU -- perhaps the university name and the team name should be written in full on this instance.
• Suggest alt text to File:Super Bowl 44 Emmitt Smith image.
• That's all from me. Great work. Pseud 14 (talk) 20:34, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

  Great feedback @Pseud 14! I've implemented all of your suggestions. Thank you very much for the review =) Hey man im josh (talk) 11:27, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Comments

• "have played their home games at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, since 2009" - don't think that comma is needed
• "Dallas traded their 2008 first-, fifth, and seventh-round selections" - shouldn't there by a hyphen after "fifth" as well?
• That's all I got! Great work as ever! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:42, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

  • "have played their home games at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, since 2009" - don't think that comma is needed – Wouldn't WP:GEOCOMMA apply?
    • Apparently it would. This is a new one on me but then of course I am British and we don't have an equivalent to writing "X has done Y in Arlington, Texas, since [date]" because we don't have states...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:15, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
  • "Dallas traded their 2008 first-, fifth, and seventh-round selections" - shouldn't there by a hyphen after "fifth" as well? – Good catch, fixed and found another instance of this mistake as well. Did a ctrl+F to try to find any other similar mistakes and I think we're good now.

  Thanks so much for the review @ChrisTheDude! Hey man im josh (talk) 12:01, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Gotta hand it to you Josh, you've been an absolute machine with these first-round draft pick lists. I should have an image review done in the next couple days! Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 22:51, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! I've already got another 3 prepped and should be finished the last 3 in the series by the end of the week :P Hey man im josh (talk) 15:23, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Goodness, that is seriously impressive – talk about planning ahead! Image review passes, details below:

• All images present are licensed either CC or PD. I wasn't able to access the original Flickr upload for the Irvin photo, but the Commons editor who confirmed the license is one whose judgment I trust, so I am going to AGF.
• All images have suitable alt text. It might not hurt to mention in Aikman's alt text that he is wearing a suit since such is mentioned in the alt text for Smith's photo, and roughly equal amounts of their suits are shown in frame, but that's a minor point.
• All images are high-quality and contribute encyclopedic value. I like that White is shown wearing a cowboy hat – it's only fitting!
• All captions are well-written, and the sources verify the information that they're used to cite.

Support on images; excellent work again! Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 19:43, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Noting that I've seen the Parsons photo that was added after this review, and it also ticks all of the above boxes. Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 23:46, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Source review (Passed)

• Not source related, but Note R says for their 1993 fourth-, eighth, and two second-round selections, which is sort of confusing. What were the fourth and eighth picks? Also are you missing a dash after eighth?
• Not source related, but consider adding one more photo of a recent draft pick? Micah Parsons or CeeDee Lamb maybe?
• Ref 41: what makes Inside the Star reliable? It is a blog, right?
• Otherwise, all sources appear reliable, are consistently formatted and all spot checks looked good. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 22:51, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

  @Gonzo fan2007:

  • I was missing a dash. This particular trade included two second-round picks, which made it difficult to word and I tried to dance around it.

  • Recommend rewording, it still doesn't make much sense. Maybe to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for both of their 1993 second-round selections, as well as a fourth- and eighth-round selection in the same year (Nos. 46, 54, 94, and 213 overall).

  • Added Parsons
  • Removed, apparently ref 41 was redundant after looking into it.

  Thank you very much for the review! Hey man im josh (talk) 23:38, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

  One other comment: List of Dallas Cowboys seasons seems superfluous in the See also section. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 14:11, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

  I've reworded it again, based on your feedback. I do personally think that the list of seasons is relevant to the list of picks, as each season determines the picks that teams will have in the very next season, but I recognize that not everybody feels the same way. For now, I feel as though it's harmless if not potentially beneficial for some. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:10, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
