Also, I'm pretty sure that Campos was for a 3rd rounder - the conditions were 8+ starts in 2009 for RSL to become a 2nd rounder, and I believe that means since he didn't that it's a 3rd rounder. But the url I have is no longer available (http://www.sltrib.com/sports/ci_12844130)

Thanks for the link for picks 30-31. I'm adding the Goff post to the references for both. Bubbagump24 (talk) 12:53, 6 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Before editing for trades please make sure the trade involved a SuperDraft pick, not a Supplemental Draft pick. Thanks. Bubbagump24 (talk) 09:35, 12 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Date format

Why does this article use the date format YYYY-MM-DD? WP:DATESNO says that "year-initial numerical (YYYY-MM-DD) dates (e.g. 1976-05-31) are uncommon in English prose, and should not be used within sentences". It does provide an exception for cases where space is an issue, such as in long lists or tables, but that does not seem to be an issue in this case. – PeeJay 17:46, 19 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Where are you seeing this? --JonBroxton (talk) 18:53, 19 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
In the "Trades" section. – PeeJay 20:59, 19 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Oh, yeah, I see it now. Yeah, I don't know why that is like that. I admit I hadn't noticed it before, but now that you've pointed it out it does look odd. Probably should be changed to standard US date formatting. --JonBroxton (talk) 21:13, 19 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
He's going after me. I used the international date format when I listed all the draft pick trades that took place. I used the same format when I tracked down all the 2004 SuperDraft pick trades and am now receiving snippy comments for doing so.Bubbagump24 (talk) 21:04, 19 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
I'm not "going after you", I'm "going after" wrong formatting. – PeeJay 07:16, 20 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
