Colchester Gladiators (American football) edit

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because after managing to get it onto DYK at the beginning of the month, I feel I may be able to get this up to at least GA standard (and possibly up to FA class) but I'm not quite sure how to do this.

Ruhrfisch comments: Very briefly, here are some suggestions for improvement. If you want more comments, please ask here.

  • The lead needs to be expanded per WP:LEAD. Nothing important should be in the lead only - since it is a summary, it should all be repeated in the body of the article itself - Other teams and activities is not in the lead now, for example.
  • Make sure to be clear on dates - where it says "currently" in the lead it should give the year, or the Roster should give the date or season
  • Provide context for the reader - the Team season records table needs explanations (wikilinks) for W LT PF PA. Or the table notes the merger and name change to Essex Gladiators, but not the resumption of the old name later. See WP:PCR Also any reason why the table is not sortable?
  • Numerous WP:MOS issues - headers do not follow WP:HEAD, any chance of more images, perhaps one of them playing, see WP:MOS#Images, Internet refs need URL, title, author if known, publisher and date accessed. {{cite web}} and other cite templates may be helpful. See WP:CITE and WP:V

Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 00:11, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
