Early history of Minnesota Golden Gophers football received a
peer review by Wikipedia editors, which is now archived. It may contain ideas you can use to improve this article.
A fact from Early history of Minnesota Golden Gophers football appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 15 August 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the first match between the Minnesota Golden Gophers football team and the
Wisconsin Badgers took place in 1890, starting the most played rivalry at the top level of
NCAA competition?
Should these coaches articles really just be redirects? It's pretty standard on Wikipedia for coaches to have their own articles.

Yes, most coaches have their own articles, but in these early years of Gopher football, most of the coaches weren't around long and there isn't much information (at least in my sources) about them, so combining them all onto a single page and having redirects here makes a lot of sense. If someone eventually wants to put more information about any of them into Wikipedia, I'd absolutely encourage them to create a new article in place of the redirect and then put a link to the new page on this one (much like the section on William Heffelfinger who already had an article before I created this page). I might eventually do some of that on my own, but there is so much work to be done on other Gopher coaches (Henry L. Williams and Bernie Bierman in particular) that it will be a while before I'll revisit these early coaches.
