499:"Drexler won in 1992 in Barcelona as a member of the Dream Team, and Lillard won at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo" - seems a bit random to pipe out the words "Summer Olympics" on the first usage but not the second. If you are only going to show it once then it really should be on the first usage
253:
I'm also in the process of adding the missing players from the table, which may take a day or two. At first I thought it would just be extra clutter to add every single pick when most missing players aren't notable, but I looked at draft history articles for other teams and many include even the non
827:
they're okay accessibility-wise? But I'm pretty sure to a lot of readers it's just noise, especially some of the color combinations. I know EN-Jungwon asked to have the colors match the symbols instead of just a single color last summer, but I don't think they were right. I don't know of any better
516:
I'd be tempted to add something into the
History section to cover the fact that the draft has (apparently) shrunk dramatically in size since 1970, with the result that a team has gone from being able to draft a whopping 19 players a year down to just 2. It just looks a little odd in the table
877:
How does it look now? It turns out the basketball cells have a second version where it uses the team's secondary color, so the arrows can be seen now. And instead of the color lines, I created new parts of the key that merged accolades into one symbol and color. --
756:
Swapped out the symbol by borrowing from your
Seahawks seasons FL. Small way of combining my favorite NFL team with my NBA team I guess. As for the sort button, it isn't hidden purposely. The problem is the arrow is black like the background so it blends in. --
730:
It still doesn't look right, though I don't have an answer for what would work in its place. Aside from the color, I also suggest swapping out the tilde for a different symbol, as it is hard to see. Also consider fixing the hidden sort button in the header.
640:
I changed just the first instance of the double colors as a test. I made the prominent honor color a bigger line. Would that work? Or should i try something else? I'm inexperienced when it comes to this kind of thing, so it's a lot of trial and error.
297:, completely forgot, thanks for reminding me. After looking through and making some minor changes, I only have one comment: the coloration on the table headers is making the up and down arrows not visible. Is there any way to have them visible?
128:
572:– The pattern for the combined cells (such as Walton's and Wicks') makes it very hard to read the player name. I suggest choosing just one background color (either the more significant honor or a new arbitrary color just for those combos).
346:) always makes the arrows black regardless of the team colors used. I don't know if there is something that can be updated in the template or if the table in the article can be individually changed to make the arrows white or red.
509:
In the key you have symbols along with colour to denote Hall of Famer and NBA All-Star (which is correct - colour alone is not enough for accessibility reasons) but then you don't actually use the symbols in the
506:"Dave Twardzik (#13), Lionel Hollins (#14), Larry Steele (#15), Drexler (#22), Bob Gross (#30), Terry Porter (#30), Walton (#32), Lloyd Neal (#36), and Petrie (#45)." - this is not a complete sentence
595:
474:"Petrie averaged 21.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 4.6 assist" - are there appropriate wikilinks for these terms, as I for one have no idea what a "rebound" is (the others I can probably guess)

It is easier to read with thicker stripes, but they should be consistent widths. Having fewer stripes is totally fine; using non-diagonal ones could also help with readability.

Which option would you suggest? It was originally the color of the most significant honor, but I changed it because there was a similar situation brought up during one of my

Making the stripes wider might also be an option. As it stands, the main issue is that the close spacing is causing an optical illusion.
