I'm hopeful that this will round out the Detroit Lions lists and be the tenth FL that I've been involved in. This is the first NFL team seasons lists that I've worked on, so I apologize if there are any issues with it. I used two recently promoted featured lists, List of Baltimore Ravens seasons and List of Houston Texans seasons, as reference points for this list. As always, I will do my best to respond quickly to any comments or concerns. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:59, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
Source review
  • Citation 5: Vintage Detroit seems to be a store rather than a reputable source.
  • Citation 11: AP should be listed as the agency, not the work.
  • Citations 25, 60, and 74: Unnecessary repetition of "Pro Football Hall of Fame" in the title.
  • Citation 8 covers the Jacksonville and Houston sentences better than the P-F-R citations.
  • Where are the awards sourced to?
  • The notes in the table ought to be moved to the appropriate cell instead of being stuffed in between citations.
  • Not a source thing, but shouldn't the "Head coaches" column be singular?

The majority of citations are to a reliable database, though I wouldn't mind seeing some more variety. SounderBruce 19:49, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Citation 5: Huh, yeah, I guess it is. I have friends that send me links from that site, so I guess they do do news stories, but being that they're an apparel company as well, it's clearly not a great source. I've removed it but not replaced it, as the fact it was verifying is backed up by a reliable source already.
  • Citation 11: Why should AP be the agency and not the work in this situation?
  • Citations 25, 60, and 74: Done.
  • Citation 8: I've actually replaced the refs for that sentence altogether.
  • Where are the awards sourced to? – Well here's fun news, that's actually a major screw up of mine, which I'm extremely glad you caught. For some reason I thought I had sourced the awards to the PFR pages, which is simply not true. I'm quite embarrassed I missed this and I've added sources for the awards now. I'll also be adding sources to the other season articles that I have prepped for FL nominations, because I'm definitely missing references based on this misunderstanding.
  • The notes in the table ought to be moved to the appropriate cell instead of being stuffed in between citations. – I've moved some notes where I can, but the notes about the number of regular season games changing or strike shortened seasons seem best to be placed in the refs column at this point in time. I'm not sure I love it, but I understand the suggestion and I see how it can be more useful for readers.
  • Not a source thing, but shouldn't the "Head coaches" column be singular? – You know what, you're right. Fixed.
Thank you very much for taking a look at this and reviewing it @SounderBruce. I think I've addressed all of your concerns except for citation 11 (now citation 9). Hey man im josh (talk) 15:41, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
