Pre-FLC thoughts

I was asked to take a look at this before WP:FLC nomination, so here are some thoughts (not much to say really, it's in good condition):

"...began play..." sounds a little odd for the year of the foundation of the franchise.
"had an advantage in signing young players" what was the nature of this advantage that a "few" teams had?
"first draft" could link that? We have a 1936 NFL Draft article...
Ah, you link it second time round...
Ref 3 actually says "more commonly" rather than "widely known"... (picky!)
Key could use col and row scopes (per MOS:DTT), and then you'd get your bold text for free.
Consistency on use of periods in image captions, complete sentences only!
On the flip side, for pure aesthetics, I'd be tempted to use plainrowheaders on the main table as the bold player names is unnecessary and a little distracting, particularly as most of them have wikilinks.
"Sports Illustrated" or "CNN Sports Illustrated" in the refs?

Otherwise it's a fine shout for FLC in my opinion. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:41, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Changed it to "founded" as suggested.
Clarified this point further.
I was going to say that I inadvertently linked it in its second possible usage, but I see you figured that out.
Fixed.
Made a change to reflect the wording of the source.
Done.
This should be done too.
This is probably the biggest pain about doing the accessibility edits. Once you insert the plainrowheaders code, the entire column becomes left-aligned. You have to go and center everything manually, which is a timesink. It's done now, though, and the bold was ugly to me as well.
The SI refs now have consistent formatting. Thanks again for taking the time to review the list. Giants2008 (Talk) 01:50, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
