List of Tampa Bay Buccaneers first-round draft picks edit

I've been working on these first-round picks series and noticed that there are older FLs that don't meet the standards of today. This one is in the worst condition among FLs, in my opinion. The problems are,

Major
  1. WP:LEAD needs copyediting and sourcing. No inline citations at all.
  2. There are 23 footnotes and none of them are cited.
Minor
  1. Abbreviations in the "Positions" column should be linked and written in full or just add a "key" section.

  2. Use symbols to indicate what colors mean.

  3. Fix links to disamg. pages

I hope this list improves in the next two weeks!--Crzycheetah 22:54, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Added refs to the lead and tidied the notes up. The only site I can find the mentions what most of the notes say is here and it doesn't look too realiable. Buc (talk) 08:40, 7 July 2008 (UTC) edit: oh! and I found this too. Again not sure if it's realiable. Buc (talk) 09:02, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • A few refs added. Buc (talk) 19:16, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments
    • Second and third current general references are dead links.
    • Fourth one does not list the 2008 pick.
    • The last one is not a general reference at all.
    • Positions can be written out in the table and wikilnked in order to decrease the amount of white space next to the table. As a result, the key section can be removed.
      • You need to ask Gonzo fan2007 about that because he added it. Buc (talk) 07:34, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • What do you think about this, though?--Crzycheetah 07:25, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
          • I would concur but I'm guessing Gonzo fan2007 added it for a reason. Buc (talk) 08:00, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I really dont care, I just added it because the original objections stated that it needed them spelt out "or just add a "key" section." So I added a key. Personally I dont mind either way. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 22:07, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • All notes have refs now. Buc (talk) 19:17, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • 25th pick in 1986 was from the Dolhins.--Crzycheetah 22:15, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • The only thing remains now is to improve the lead.--Crzycheetah 22:45, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
