List of Chicago Bears head coaches

This is a very nicely done list. Well referenced. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:16, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Resolved stuff from The Rambling Man (talk) 07:16, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

• Comments
  • Avoid links in the emboldened lead sentence per WP:LEAD#Bold title.
  • Images should not be forced to user-defined widths. As a preference, use the upright paramter for portraits. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Images for more information on this.
  • "Chicago Staleys (1921) and Decatur Staleys (1919–1920) " Why in reverse chronological order?
  • "APFA " should go in parentheses after the first use of its expanded phrase.
  • Ref [2] should be moved to immediately after the comma after the year Anderson and Johnsos won the title.
  • " ... and wins, and Ralph ..." more like "and wins; Ralph..." or "and wins, while Ralph..."
  • " (with at least one full season coached)" presumably this relates to the "leads all coaches in " statement, but where it's placed in the sentence makes it unclear.
  • "Statistics correct as of December 30, 2007, after the end of the 2007 NFL season." don't need to make this small. It doesn't help readers who have difficulty reading small text and doesn't enhance the article at all. (and I know this is used elsewhere, but elsewhere it's also wrong!)
  • What does the em-dash represent in the # column?
  • I thought the lead said the team played as Chicago Staleys? Was it not for a whole season?
  • Caption in the baseball card image is a fragment so shouldn't have a full stop at the end.
  • I assume the coach awards are referenced somewhere general? It's worth referencing them specifically.
• That's it from me. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:47, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Comment - Notes and references should be in seperate sections, see here for an example. This allows for sourcing of footnotes. The existing "references" section needs to be relabled "General references". VegaDark (talk) 21:36, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

 Done (Phew!) I think I got everything. - Milks F'avorite Cookie 21:01, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

• As with the other similar lists up for nom, JT-SW.com and hickoksports.com worry me as WP:FANSITE, and WP:RS.
  • I'd remove these from the article completely, rather than put them in an external links section. -- ṃ•α•Ł•ṭ•ʰ•Ə•Щ• @ 21:11, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
    •  Done I didn't see that they were in the external links section. - Milks F'avorite Cookie 21:13, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
• Those listed under "References" should be under "Further Reading" or "External links", per WP:CS
• Make the "Satistics correct as of..." normal size
• Why "–" instead of a zero?

Support Another good list. -- ṃ•α•Ł•ṭ•ʰ•Ə•Щ• @ 21:17, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

• Support (I had to resize the images per WP:MOS#Images so I hope that doesn't upset you too much) good work... The Rambling Man (talk) 07:22, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
• Support as nom. - Milks F'avorite Cookie 18:58, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
