• Odd placement of the note. I'd include it as real text in the lead/main article.

• I moved the information from the note to the end the paragraph in the Background section.

• "variously "Alabama", "UA" or "Bama"" is this necessary? It's interesting, but is it referenced?

• Removed

• "with being the person responsible" don't think you need "the person" here.

• Removed "the person"

• Could link "prep school".

• Linked

• Why is it called "1892 Alabama Cadets football team" and not "1892 Alabama Cadets football team season"?

• The title is called "1892 Alabama Cadets football team" per a consensus at Wikipedia:WikiProject College football/Style guide#Team seasons

• "1891–1892" -> "1891–92" per WP:YEAR.

• Fixed

• "there that first played" that _he_ first...

• Corrected

• "his brother passed away" died.

• Changed

• "he enrolled at Alabama. After he enrolled" repetitive.

• Reworded

• Looks like there's a spare line at the bottom of the schedule table.

• The spare line is part of the schedule template used. As this is such an early season, what would normally be listed here (time zone, homecoming, non-conference opponent) does not apply in this article.

• I see one result ended 4–5. Can you explain the scoring at the time this was played?

• There is a link to a note explaining this with the source citation in the Schedule section.

• The "Drop kick" hash link isn't correct ("Drop kick#American_football)")

• Fixed the link

• Could consider adding an image or two down the right-hand side to brighten it up a little. I see some of the images in sub articles are PD...

• Images added

• Quarterbacks, guards, tackles etc, all jargon I'm afraid, especially for non-US/non-expert readers. Links?

• All linked now

• What is The Corolla and why should I care what it said about anything?

• Added that The Corolla is the university yearbook to the prose

• " team until Eli Abbott was" no need to relink it, and also no need to repeat first name.

• Done

• No need to relink Alabama here.

• Done

• We don't need (in English) for English-language sources, it's kind of assumed that since this is English language Wikipedia sources without a language parameter will be in English.

• Done

It's in good shape, but pending the resolution of the above comments, I'll place it on hold for the moment. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:57, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
