List of Boston Celtics head coaches edit
I think this list does meet featured list criteria. If you guys have any questions or comments, I would try to answer them.Gman124 talk 17:12, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- Support - I originally created this, and then improved it a little after Gman nominated it. I think it meets the criteria. « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie 17:21, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

- "while the 1959-to-1966 domination of the NBA Championship" - not keep on the wikilinking here - perhaps "the domination of NBA championship from 1959 to 1966..."?
- 1959–1966 - I think 1959–66 is better.
- "The current coach ..." - "As of June 2008, the coach of the ...." - provides a milestone.
- Games Coached - Games coached.

- Year ranges in the Achievements col need to take en-dash.
- No need for italics in present.
- Keep the terms per my third comment also - like the achievement year ranges - YYYY–YY.
- Put a bullet point before the general ref.
- "basketball-reference.com" vs "Basketball-Reference.com"

- No need to overlink NBA Finals in the lead.

- "while the domination of NBA championship from 1959–66, with eight straight titles" and "The franchise won eight consecutive NBA championships from 1959–1966" - a little repetitive.
- Can you make the GC, W, L, W-L%, etc columns the same width? Would be aesthetically improved.
- Auerbach's image caption should be Celtics, not celtics.
- Heinsohn's image caption should take en-dash, not hyphen.
- Fitch caption should link to Fitch, use an en-dash and have a period.

- Although I haven't seen it on other head coach lists, is there a reason why Playoffs doesn't have a W–L% col?
- Auerbach caption should have a comma after Celtics.
- Fitch's caption needs a "the" between "won" and "1981" and needs to have "year" capitalised.
- Auerbach's Coach of the Year years in the table need an en-dash, not a hyphen.
- You have single and double daggers in the key but not in the table.

- Support This looks pretty good now after Rambling Man's issues were resolved. Gary King (talk) 18:26, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- Comment This page is orphaned. There are no links to any article in the mainspace. I think you should add a link in the main article at least.--Crzycheetah 18:52, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

- Is it possible to get a more interesting lead sentence? People can look at the title to see what page they're on. Also, if you keep it as is, remove the bold link per MoS.
- Bill Russell, Tom Heinsohn, Tom Sanders, Dave Cowens, K.C. Jones, Chris Ford and M. L. Carr have
allplayed andheadcoached for the Celtics. Some redundancies.
- Support All my issues have been addressed, nothing else wrong that I can see. Good work! Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 15:21, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
- Support The only thing I want in this list is that the years of term be linked.
