List of Golden State Warriors head coaches[edit]

I have recently wrote and published this list and I believe it meets the featured list criteria. Hello32020 (talk) 18:09, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Years in "Term" column don't need to be linked, per MOS:UNLINKYEARS
  • Year ranges should have unspaced en dashes per WP:DASH

Done. Hello32020 (talk) 02:26, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from The Rambling Man (talk · contribs)
  • Explain who/what the Warriors are in the lead.
  • "... which has been of ..." is an odd way of saying where the franchise has been based.
  • "...began with joining ..." is another strange way of saying how the franchise started.
  • Place BAA in parentheses after using the expanded version.
  • Same with NBA.
  • 1962-63 should use an en-dash.
  • Same for 1971-72.
  • "and latest title " most recent title would be better.
  • "the only one to do so while being with the team for his entire career" reads strangely to me. He got inducted at a single point in time, he did, however, spend his entire career at the franchise. Suggest a reword.
  • Last three or four sentences of lead are choppy - copyedit to improve flow.
  • Shouldn't "Loses" be "Losses"?

I believe I have addressed your concerns. Hello32020 (talk) 11:21, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from Matthew

Comments

  • "Golden State Warriors" on first use, rather than just "Warriors"
  • missing a word after "franchise,"
  • Philadelphia is a city, San Francisco is a city, the Golden State is a nickname for the state of California, of which San Francisco is a city in. Change it to Oakland instead. And provide the states for all three to provide context for the non-American reader
  • "The Warriors started by joining" needs a different word instead of "started"
  • "They went 26–42 in their first NBA season" went where?
  • Can we get hold of any more pictures?
  • Is basketball-reference.com a WP:RS?
  • Ref 17 is a footnote, and should be in a separate section.

I haven't been able to find any other pictures available that are free or people that would be willing to make it free. If you look at the main website of Sports Reference, they have experienced employees running the website, so I would consider it reliable. Otherwise, I have fixed your concerns.

Fixed; I have checked flickr, but haven't been able to find any free images that could be included in Wikipedia. Hello32020 (talk) 18:30, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Lead section is good, all these head coach lists should aim for something similar to this in both size and content. Shame there's no more pictures though. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 15:05, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
