List of Kansas City Chiefs head coaches

edit

I believe this list is fully capable of being promoted to FL status. conman33 (. . .talk) 21:50, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment "Dallas Texans" does not need to be bold. Gary King (talk) 23:27, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done. conman33 (. . .talk) 03:05, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - looks much better now. Good work. Blackngold29 18:33, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Support for now
    • A five-paragraph lead for 10 coaches? That's too many, need to trim to 3 at most.
      • I was told to write an expansive lead, and I gave every detail possible. Now it's down to three and if it's now too short, somebody else can write one. conman33 (. . .talk) 20:33, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • No need to bold "head coaches"
    • Herman Edwards is the team's current coach... should appear at the end of the lead.
    • ...competed for three years known as... - Confusing a little, try to reword.
    • The lead tells the reader that the franchise was known as Dallas Texans until 1969 at least while the table says until 1962. Which one is right?
    • Lead does not mention when and why the franchise was renamed to Chiefs and relocated to Kansas.
      • The Texans moved to Kansas City, MISSOURI and were renamed the Chiefs in 1963. conman33 (. . .talk) 20:33, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • See MOS:UNLINKYEARS
    • Unbold the word "present"
    • The caption of the Hank's bust is too long; try to shorten it by removing info you already mentioned in either the lead or the table.
    • Same with Cunningham's image. We already know that he was the head coach, so you can just leave the second sentence.
    • What makes "Sports Encyclopedia" and "Hickok Sports" reliable sources?
    • The HallofFame website should be cited. It is not a general reference for this list.

  • Comments
    • Five paras in the lead is a little excessive.
    • Put (NFL) after first National Football League and then just use the abbreviation from then on.
    • Put (AFL) after American Football League so it makes NFL-AFL understandable to non experts.
    • inbetween is not one word.
    • "was later hired as the team's coach after the Chiefs traded their fourth-round draft selection in 2006 to the New York Jets." - can you explain the relevance of the fourth round draft trade to his appointment?
    • Regular Season in the table could just be Regular season.
    • "after 7 games" seven.
    • The en-dashes look left aligned while the numbers are right aligned in the playoffs column. Looks odd.
