An Australian here. Perhaps this will make things amusing.
The content is thorough, it only needs to be cited in more detail and presented more cleanly. Blnguyen ( bananabucket) 00:28, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
Also, if that youtube video is some guy taping the TV broadcast and then putting it on YT, I don't think you should link to it. I don't think that's allowed. (some people post cricket videos up there and it still has ESPN tags on it. That seems like copyvio and we shouldnt link there)
I think only the paras need the cite put on the end of them now. Blnguyen ( bananabucket) 02:14, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Article has typo'ed his name twice in two contiguous sentences, first as Mohomed Massaquoi and then as last name Massquoi. Normally not an issue, but the listed ref is the original source of both typos. Since it's not a direct quote, [sic] isn't an issue. Is there any sort of flagging needed for a badly written ref that would conflict with its associated content spelling? Michael Devore 19:42, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Who says it was ever called Chick-fil-A Peach Powl? It doesn't appear anywhere in this article, at Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, or anywhere in google. Perhaps it's a little joke? Mr Stephen ( talk) 20:40, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Odd that this got to FA and no-one noticed that the COUNTRY is not even mentioned (well, it is now, because I just added it). I've noticed this so many time in Wikipedia articles: ones that originate from/ are about countries other than the US almost always state the country, but American ones generally don't bother. Is this a reflection of American parochialism, not looking beyond their borders, not realising there's a whole world reading out there, most of whom won't have a clue where the places they talk about might be? Or are we all supposed somehow to know all about American geography, even though this is never expected of articles on other countries? An encylcopedia is supposed to be ENCYCLOPEDIC and to educate. 86.137.136.17 ( talk) 13:17, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Why was such a meaningless bowl game chosen as a featured article? Fnorth ( talk) 01:02, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Excellent job. I only hope that other sport-contest articles will follow suit. Wrad ( talk) 01:39, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Great article. One failing though, is that those unfamiliar with US sporting competitions are not given an initial description of what it is. "Chick-fil-A Bowl" means very little (mystifying!) to those not in the know.
