Week 9 controversy?

Would this be the appropriate place to add the Patriots accusation that the Colts piped in audio during the game? Ryratt 07:03, 6 November 2007 (UTC) reply

And the NFL and CBS's subsequent denial of such ludicrous claims? Brainscar ( talk) 11:03, 30 November 2007 (UTC) reply

Simeon Rice

There should be some mention of Simeon Rice's short stint with the Colts. He was claimed off of waivers from the Broncos, played two games, and was released, (at which point FB Luke Lawton was re-signed). It should go somewhere, but not sure where.

Failed GA review

A good example of a football article to model after is 2005 Texas Longhorn football team.

1. Prose- Fail. Includes Wikipedia:Words to avoid, lead section needs to include more detail (like some talk of previous season) and information abut season events. There are simply too many lists which might be more graphically exciting if integrated into article. See Wikipedia:Embedded list for ideas. What lists are included or not included is often debated, by these are some potential ways to improve. Wikipedia:Words to avoid need to be removed.

2. Verifiable- Fail. Many areas lack sources all together.

3. Coverage- Fail- The coverage concerning individual games does not integrate lists. There is no preseason section. Usually, there is some sort of pre game or post game commentary by coaches or players. The article might be helped by integrating some commentary or pre game decision making into the game summaries.

4. Neutral- Fail. The article reads pro Colts. The article needs to address NPOV#Let_the_facts_speak_for_themselves and words to avoid to remove bias.

5. Stable- Check

6. Images- Fail. The article has only one small image concerning the Thanksgiving game. There are quite a few pictures at flickr. Upload Attribution and Attribution Share-Alike photos to Wikimedia Commons. There are some other photos you can use at the Commons.

I hope this review is not discouraging, but provides for useful feedback to improve this article. Only a very few article on wikipedia meet good article or featured article status. You are always welcome to message my talk page with questions. Good luck! User:calbear22 ( talk) 18:46, 23 February 2008 (UTC) reply
