List of New England Patriots head coaches

edit

previous FLC (20:12, 11 May 2008) Self-nomination Well written lead, and well referenced table. Seems readt for FL. « Milk's Favorite Cookie ( talk / contribs) 19:05, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm renominating it because the first nomination simply failed because of "lack of comments" « Milk's Favorite Cookie ( talk / contribs) 19:26, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • I think if you refer to a person once, you only need to refer to them by their last name after that (i.e when you mention Holovak, Berry, Parcells, etc. again).
  • John Mazur should be wikilinked at first mention.
  • Mazur's incident should be referenced.
  • "When the team qualified for the playoffs, Fairbanks was reinstated. He lost the first playoff game, his last for the Patriots." Perhaps these two sentences could be combined?
  • Instead of saying "statistics cover through...", try "statistics are through".
  • Why do you need both a color and an asterisk to indicate a Hall of Fame coach?

More comments from Noble Story

  • The reference you provide for Mazur being fired does not name Mazur at all in the article.
  • Perhaps the last sentence in the lead about the stats could be made into a note? Or, do you really need a note saying it's a current total? It would be presumed the list is up-to-date.

    • Fixed Mazur reference, and updated his and Bengston's numbers. Databasefootball's numbers must be wrong, since BOTH of the references mention that Mazur had resigned with 5 games left to go in the season, and not 1.
    • The last sentance seems germaine since the reader should know when the stats apply for. Especially once the season starts, such a reference is likely to be important. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 12:46, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Remove italics from publishers in references that are not periodicals.
  • Can something be done with paragraphs in the lead that consist of a single sentence?
