Wikipedia:WikiProject National Football League/Pro Football Hall of Fame article improvement campaign
This is a campaign to improve and expand articles on players who have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Hall of Fame inductees (players, coaches and administrators) rank as one of the priorities for members of the NFL WikiProject. The list below identifies the Hall of Fame articles and provides the rating given to articles at the start of 2016. Surprisingly, the vast majority of these high importance articles are at a very low level of development with most having a "Start" rating and a significant number rated at the "Stub" level.
You can join the campaign by adopting one or more of these articles and working to improve it. The list below provides a column for editors to adopt a player and for us to then memorialized the higher rating resulting from the effort. By the end of 2016, we can hopefully elevate all of the "Stub" articles to a more respectable level and improve many more articles to "C" level or higher.
For organizational purposes, the inductees are broken into groupings by era and then listed in order based on their year of induction.
