This list seems ready to become FL. It is well referenced, and has a nicely written lead. It seems to meet all criteria. « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie ( talk / contribs) 15:01, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- No free images available of the teams? Qst (talk) 16:03, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Seems to fulfill all criteria. It is well structured, adequately sourced, very easy and clear to read, also good lead paragraph.—Chris! ct 16:51, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from Matthew
Comments
- Date ranges should be separated with ndash, not hyphens, per WP:DASH
- Check out the FLC talk page regarding straight repetition of the article's title in the lead (this is a list of...)
- Wikilink Central division if it exists
- "prior to 1978 they get to keep the Brown Trophy for a year" wrong tense
- put a comma after the MVP award link up in the lead section
- Note 1 is in present tense, but from the looks of the the table, it should be in past tense
- Support. Although I'd want the NBA champ from the Western Conference colored with a reddish tint. --Howard the Duck 05:14, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Could you say that again? I think the champions from the Western Conference are already shaded blue. Noble Story (talk) 06:31, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- See NBA Conference Finals. The Western Conference Finals logo is colored red. See also List of Super Bowl champions where the AFC is colored red. --Howard the Duck 11:09, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- No offense, but doing that would mean a complete overhaul of the table. It's pretty clear who is from the West and who is from the East, unlike the Super Bowl champs list. I think it can stay the same. Noble Story (talk) 13:36, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Then use light green or any other color except a bluish hue. --Howard the Duck 14:38, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- If you decide to change the table, you might want to implement something like this. Hello32020 (talk) 02:41, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- If no one objects, I'll change the light blue to light green. Blue is the color associated to the Eastern Conference so for NBA enthusiasts it'll be quite awkward. --Howard the Duck 14:26, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Looks good. Last suggestion: the cross is better then the asterisk, but it's awfully big. Howabout † ? Drewcifer (talk) 06:22, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved stuff from Drewcifer
Comment Overall it looks pretty good, but I do have a few questions/suggestions:
- The year column should be center-aligned.
- Also concerning the legend, I'd recommend adding the blue background legend to the same table as the other legend.
- "All NBA Finals are in..." weird present tense, when compared to the rest of the sentence which is past tense.
- "The home-and-away format was in a 2-2-1-1-1 format (that is, the team with the better regular season record plays on their home court in Games 1, 2, 5 and 7) until 1985 (except 1953–55, 1975 and 1978, the latter two in a 1-2-2-1-1 format) when it was changed into a 2-3-2 format (the team with the better regular season record plays on their home court in Games 1-2 and 6-7), although all other playoff series are still in a 2-2-1-1-1 format.[1]" I realize that this is a complicated issue to explain, but this is a huge sentence with alot of parenthesis and numbers and other stuff going on, which makes it even more confusing.
- "1984 win the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy, from 1978 to 1983 the Walter A. Brown Trophy, and prior to 1978 they got to keep the Brown Trophy for a year until the next champion is determined." Again, a weird mish-mash of tenses.
- Why is the MVP stuff mentioned in the lead? What does that have to do with anything? Drewcifer (talk) 00:50, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not entirely sure what "Tied the best regular season standing for that season." means. Also, I think a better symbol then an asterisk should be used, since the asterisk is easy to miss.
- OK, I've covered all your points. Noble Story (talk) 15:32, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
