Talk:History of Kansas City Chiefs quarterbacks/GA1

GA Review[edit]

Alright, I'm going to start reviewing this article. The first thing I noticed is that for the size of the article, the lead is very short. Lengthen it and try to de-ref it if you can (mos doesn't mind lead refs, I just don't care for them unless necessary). Wizardman 21:37, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'm aware of the article's size. I was thinking maybe it can be split into something like History of San Diego Chargers head coaches and List of San Diego Chargers head coaches where the list of starting QB's by season can be a separate article along with the career statistics and records while the in-depth history can be separated as another article. I'll work on the lead a bit, but I just kept the references in the lead because I thought somebody would complain and say "why aren't there any references in the lead?" -- Just a precaution.

Check these out to see what I was talking about with split articles: Lists of Kansas City Chiefs quarterbacks and History of Kansas City Chiefs quarterbacks. Please note they are sandbox articles. conman33 (. . .talk) 20:26, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA on Hold[edit]

Hi, nice to meet you

I'm putting the GA review on Hold for a period of up to one week, for further improvements to the article.
The WP:LEAD doesn't seem to serve as a stand-alone summary of the entire article.
List of starting quarterbacks by season is really too large a list to be incorporated into an article. Strongly suggest removing to a separate List.
Ditto for Complete statistics and Franchise records, but I might consider combining the two into a single list, perhaps List of statistics and franchise records for the Kansas City Chiefs or something along those lines. I'm not familiar with list layout etc., so you may need to ask someone who is. In any event, I'd consider rmving them from this article.
Using the team colors for the 'Complete statistics table is clever, but the black letters on dark red bkg are really hard to read. Suggest something much more neutral, like light blue or grey and white.
I will continue looking; there may be further issues.

Follow up[edit]

The page has been split into separate articles: History of Kansas City Chiefs quarterbacks and List of Kansas City Chiefs quarterbacks.
May look into renaming "List" page, because it's not just a list of quarterbacks now, but also has lists of stats and records.
I expanded the lead, which is now on History of Kansas City Chiefs quarterbacks. The "List" lead needs work now.
Removed overt use of team colors in collapsible table (complete statistics). Added some white.

Anything else, I'll work on it! conman33 (. . .talk) 22:50, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PASS GA (but too much overlinking)[edit]

there's too much overlinking in many places; three or four references is overkill for a single statement. please trim those down. other wise PASS. Congrats. Ling.Nut ^{(talk—WP:3IAR)} 03:48, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
