1986 New York Giants season has been listed as one of the Sports and recreation good articles under the good article criteria. If you can improve it further, please do so. If it no longer meets these criteria, you can reassess it. | ||||||||||

A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the "
Did you know?" column on
May 21, 2007. The text of the entry was: Did you know ...that the
New York Giants of the
NFL won the first
Super Bowl in their franchise history during
their 1986 season? |
Summaries of this article appear in New York Giants, History of the New York Giants, and History of the New York Giants (1979-1993). |
Okay, I started this baby up today and nominated it for DYK? I'll try to get it GA level by the end of the week. Quadzilla99 22:45, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
here we go again. i am assuming you made mods in this article on my comments from
1990 New York Giants season.
* I checked on the reference-1, it requires registration to access the article. the same needs to be mentioned in the notes/link
* Needs team staff details
* "Highlights of the game included Cowboys running back Herschel Walker, in his first season in the NFL, rushing 10 times for 64 yards and the game-winning touchdown" - you only included one highlight. re-word sentence or add data
* "Linebacker Harry Carson scored his first career touchdown on a fake field goal in the third quarter" - that is interesting. can you provide details? was he the holder, was he the receiver or did he run the ball in. the reason for the curiosity is that carson is a LB and i am not sure that i have seen a lot of LBs score TD on fake field goal attempts
* "defense sacked Eagles' quarterbacks Ron Jaworski and Randall Cunningham three times each" - why were 2 QBs used by the eagles? was one injuired? or pulled for poor play?
* "With the victory the Giants completed their second five game winning streak of the season, several of them in close contests; the margin of victory in those five gasmes were 7, 3, 3, 2 and 3 points.[29] The game was played in front of 75,116 fans at Giants Stadium, and marked the Giants fifth conscutive victory." - lot of redundancy here. the first line talks of a five game streak and so does the last line. remove one of them. also, "several of them" is followed by a specific number (five gasmes in Enghlish or games in English - trying to be funny!). remove one of them.
* I think you should mention it was Parcell's first CoY and i think LT's second. Please mention it in the article
* "The Giants advanced to play" could be changed to "The Giants played"**Fixed.

The following details are required before the article can go to FAC:
File:1986Giants.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Putting this here for now, as it may be useful for source material: The New York Daily News posted a "reprint" of the original 1987 story about the NFC Championship game here.— Twigboy ( talk) 17:28, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm going to keep this as a GA after review. However, refs #2 and 49 are dead links, and I'd prefer that the cite templates are used. However, format-wise they look fine, so I'm not going to push it, though I do think it should be done. Wizardman 02:13, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
