Dean Smith[edit]

previous FAC

Ok, I took up User:Remember's offer to make the article Featured. Some of the concerns that were addressed in the previous FAC was addressed here. Many of the photographs that some have mentioned about last time, they are gone. One of them happened to be a copyvio and the other I just could have done without. The lead photo has been removed, since I have not received Flickr permissions from the uploader or the photographer yet. Some of the prose has been fixed, but more help will be appreciated. I also added some more citations. If I missed anything, please let me know. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 04:58, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose His career at North Carolina consists of two paragraphs, most of the information is from the 1960's. That section needs to be greatly expanded detailing his championship teams and final fours. Warhol13 20:32, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm doing the 1982 championship now. I will tackle the 1993 championship next. I have found other key data from the 1970's and other eras. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 00:04, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have added the 1993 run. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 04:34, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose Way too short and way too listy. Also, the man is alive and has been in the public eye for forty years, but we can't find a photo of him? -- Kicking222 16:47, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • There are photographs, but due to the current fair use issues, we can't use a fair use photo if a free one can easily be created. Fixing other issues. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 01:07, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I have emailed the owner of http://www.flickr.com/photos/carolinarob7/54854559/ almost a week ago and I have not heard back on the image permissions. Still working on that list stuff that Sandy said below. Can you tell me where I am short at? User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 01:37, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Fixes needed, convert lists to prose, there are WP:MSH capitalization problems, and there are WP:DASH problems on sports scores (endash). There are missing publishers on sources (see WP:CITE/ES) and footnotes aren't formatted (example: Sports Illustrated By the Numbers on Dean Smith.) All sources need a publisher, websources need a last access date, and author and publication date should be given when available. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:03, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fixed first list into prose, I am having someone who uses AWB to fix the dashes. Everything else, I'll try and take care of. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 01:20, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
