Wilt Chamberlain edit

This is the article of the statistically most dominant NBA player of all time (nope, it is not Michael Jordan...) is prepared for a soon FAC. I would like to request peer review first. Points to ponder:

  • Is the prose ok? The article was 97 kb, then trimmed to 74, and now 64kb. I hope the flow is not too choppy.
  • Is it broad enough without sacrificing depth? The main problem during the trim was to decide whether of the thousands of (verifiable!!) Wilt anecdotes should stay.
  • Is it readable enough for non-experts, without being too shallow? Wilt is all-time record holder of 46 (!!!) NBA stats, so his numbers have to be mentioned often.
  • It is holistic enough, i.e. does the reader get to know enough about Wilt as a person?
  • The article currently has 15 (!) fair use pics, but IMHO, every pic serves a cause, e.g. showing him in track and field, showing him in his different teams, showing he was subject of sports books, showing his rivalries vs Bill Russell and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or his autobios. Is this ok, or too much?
  • Other remarks?

As a reference, Bill Russell is the current sole WP:NBA FA. Thanks for reading, —Onomatopoeia 14:44, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

under the legacy section, although personally i do *not* see it a problem, is it better to incorporate the list into the main body? i'm only saying this because the Bill Russell article has no list, and i suspect some joker down the road would make the same point.
