It looks great. The only error I find is "The Miami Heat are" which should be "The Miami Heat is". Check the lead, there is another similar error.—Chris! _ct 23:08, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

The Heat is owned by Micky Arison. -- the previous sentence began with The Heat as well, so reword to something like The team..

The Heat first played its home games at the Miami Arena until 2000;[4] they have played its home games at the American Airlines Arena since then. -- Question: When do you refer to a team in plural and singular tense, since the lead began with singular tense but is plural here

I tihnk it is correct...hope Dabomb87 comes back soon... -- [[SRE.K.A.L.|L.A.K.ERS]] 02:10, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, I'm just asking you personally, since I myself don't know.--Best, ₮RU CӨ 02:40, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Riley is the only Heat head coach to be named one of the top 10 coaches in NBA history,[7] to have won the NBA Coach of the Year Award, having winning it in the 1996–97 season,[8] to have won the NBA championship with the Miami Heat, having won it in the 2006 NBA Finals,[3] and to have been elected into the Basketball Hall of Fame as a coach, -- To avoid messing up the flow of the sentence, how about rewording the middle part to ..to have won the NBA Championship (2006) with the Miami Heat, and to have been elected... (to avoid the flow interference)

Table

NBA Championship should be capitalized

I don't think it should...Dabomb87... -- [[SRE.K.A.L.|L.A.K.ERS]] 02:10, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yet, you have it capitalized in the lead? O_o--Best, ₮RU CӨ 02:40, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Where? o.O -- [[SRE.K.A.L.|L.A.K.ERS]] 03:14, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Look above in one of the sentences I found a problem in.--Best, ₮RU CӨ 03:21, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well I didn't add the capitalization of C. Just check the whole article, no "Champions". -- [[SRE.K.A.L.|L.A.K.ERS]] 05:14, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NBA Championship and NBA Champion is the same thing. So the C needs to be capitalized in both instances.--Best, ₮RU CӨ 22:05, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, but see WWE Championship, List of WWE Champions.--Best, ₮RU CӨ 23:28, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of NBA champions, List of Stanley Cup champions, List of Super Bowl champions, List of World Series champions. -- [[SRE.K.A.L.|L.A.K.ERS]]_{call me Keith} 00:48, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(outdent) I hope Chris or Dabomb87 can comment on this... -- [[SRE.K.A.L.|L.A.K.ERS]] 22:32, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since both capitalization and non-capitalization are in used, this may require a wiki-wide discussion.—Chris! _ct 05:35, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I generally thought since the "Championship" part is capitalized formally, so should "Champions".--Best, ₮RU CӨ 22:07, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is "Champion" part of the proper noun? If not, then it should not be capitalized. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:38, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, in WWE they use it as a proper noun. But in the NBA, it looks like they use both instances (capital/and lowercase)--Best, ₮RU CӨ 01:04, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

References

Be consistent with the formatting of the NBA source, one uses NBA.com the other uses National Basketball ~~League~~Association; the latter is correct.

Haha...National Basketball League...Done. -- [[SRE.K.A.L.|L.A.K.ERS]] 02:10, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Argh. I'm not thinking clearly.--Best, ₮RU CӨ 02:40, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

General

The rest of the list looks up to speed.--Best, ₮RU CӨ 02:03, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
