Another list of AP NFL awards. This one isn't as straightforward for various reasons, but I believe I've done the best I can and the list meets FL criteria. Lizard (talk) 17:28, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Giants2008 (Talk) 03:22, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comments – I commented last year on the article's talk page regarding a table formatting issue and have been meaning to look at this FLC. There are a handful of things I found that could use fixes, and a couple of them will depend upon updates that will be needed later this week.
  • In "to recognize the winner of each year's Associated Press MVP award", you could use the abbreviated version of AP since it was spelled out earlier.
  • Consider linking Brady in the second paragraph, if he doesn't win this year's award and earn a first-paragraph mention when this is updated.
  • Fourth paragraph may need some work if the Patriots do win the Super Bowl, but will require an update even if they don't.
  • The general references should probably be alphabetized. That means that the NFL Record and Fact Book page would be moved to the last position, as Lee comes after Full.
  • Speaking of the NFL Record and Fact Book cite, the p. should be pp. as that is a multiple-page reference. Changing the page= parameter of the cite template to pages= will fix this easily. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:18, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Done. Perhaps there's something to this "curse," eh? Lizard (talk) 02:07, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • The mention of Brady being a quarterback should probably be moved up to the first paragraph.
  • The stat about eight straight Super Bowl losses by MVPs still needs an update. This looks like a source that offers sufficient support for a modified sentence. Giants2008 (Talk) 03:22, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Looks like it's now nine straight. I must've miscounted or not noticed that Brady was already counted once. Lizard (talk) 04:09, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – Made a further tweak to the article myself to finish off my batch of comments. Overall, this looks like a strong list, and I'm sure TRM's couple of comments will be handled in due course. Giants2008 (Talk) 23:14, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - Nice piece of work
  • I think it may be worthwhile stating explicitly that the teams in the table are targeted at the explicit team season articles rather than just the teams themselves. I didn't realise that until I noticed a difference with the Baltimore Colts link in the image caption.
  • Ref in table should be Ref(s).

 Done I directed the links in the table to the main team pages. That's probably better anyway. Lizard (talk) 17:09, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, this one has been here for a while and stalled out, and the two supports are the only other two people who could promote it... so I'm going to do something a bit unorthodox here. I reviewed the list and found no issues, and did a source review and found 2 minor things that I fixed myself as faster than describing them, and I'm going to go ahead and promote. --PresN 16:07, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
