List of Kansas City Chiefs head coaches

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

• Comment "Dallas Texans" does not need to be bold. Gary King (talk) 23:27, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Done. conman33 (. . .talk) 03:05, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Resolved issues from Blackngold29 06:15, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Comments: Eliminate the first sentence per Wikipedia talk:Featured list candidates/Archive 3#Straight repetitions of the title in the opening sentence|this discussion]]. "located in Dallas, Texas.[1]The.." Space needed after the citation. "Tom Bettis is the only head coach to serve on an interim basis following the departure of Paul Wiggin in 1977" Do you mean only head coach to serve as an interim overall, or just after Wiggin was fired? "[CFL's] Montreal Alouettes was hired in..." need comma after Alouettes. "...which borrowed elements of his Super Bowl championship team with the St. Louis Rams." Needs citation (removed) The list itself looks fine. Blackngold29 22:43, 5 July 2008 (UTC) Done. conman33 (. . .talk) 00:41, 6 July 2008 (UTC) You didn't eliminate the first sentece, see List of Pittsburgh Steelers head coaches. Blackngold29 00:54, 6 July 2008 (UTC) Got it. I was looking at List of Green Bay Packers head coaches and tried to look off their intro, but it was the same so I misunderstood. It's gone now. conman33 (. . .talk) 02:45, 7 July 2008 (UTC) Crzycheetah has presented some good comments below, they'll need taken care of before I support. I don't know why the intro had a massive expansion, it looked fine a few days ago. Blackngold29 06:15, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

• Support - looks much better now. Good work. Blackngold29 18:33, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
• 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)
  • 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)
  • 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?
    • Maybe you should ask that to whoever promoted List of Green Bay Packers head coaches, and List of Indianapolis Colts head coaches and see what's "reliable." conman33 (. . .talk) 20:33, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
  • 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.
