I was looking for a project that was a little different last week, and I decided to take a look at WP:FFL to see if I could do anything about a list listed there. Well, this is the result, originally a 2007 promotion and 2009 demotion due largely to referencing and colour usage, among other things. All comments awaited with anticipation.

PS, if one of the directors wants to move things around, the 2007 nomination is at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/New England Patriots seasons/archive1. Courcelles 16:07, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

*Shameless opportunism I will review this, seasons lists are a somewhat of an interest of mine. But while I'm here, do you have any idea where I could track down more information on this guy's background in American football? —WFC— 16:19, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Overall this looks decent. I'll be back with more over the next day or so. —WFC— 16:57, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Notable sources (such as the Toronto Star) should be linked on the first occurance. —WFC— 08:30, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- This is a stylistic thing, and I absolutely can't stand turning the references section into a sea of largely useless bluelinks. Courcelles 18:20, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I've left this uncapped because I don't consider it resolved as such, but I conceed that it probably is personal preference, so won't let it affect my support. —WFC— 18:30, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- This is a stylistic thing, and I absolutely can't stand turning the references section into a sea of largely useless bluelinks. Courcelles 18:20, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'll do a couple of spot checks on the references tomorrow, and provided there are no problems there I'll be supporting. Thanks for the speedy responses. —WFC— 18:30, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support Spot checking didn't throw up any concerns. All other (substantive) points resolved. —WFC— 13:39, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- It might be appropriate to have a statistics section with how far they got at the end of the season. Nergaal (talk) 02:35, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Would be very difficult to do, considering terms like "Divisional Playoffs" have, at times, been either the semi-finals or quarter-finals, the possibility of first-round byes, the aberration of 1982, and the lack of RS's that would help reduce this exercise from being OR. I've added some info about how many times they've reached the playoffs in total, and played in and won/lost a conference championship after the merge (A non-existent term before it), but the number of different playoff schemes used since 1970 is rather beyond this article (National Football League playoffs doesn't really do a great job of explaining the changes in terminology in places).

- Support all the points in my "exhaustive commentary" (!!) have been resolved... The Rambling Man (talk) 17:21, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
CommentSupport – Did most of my reviewing before the FLC on the article's talk page.Noticed one more thing while re-reviewing: Note a says "The Season column links to an article about each season in the league." The list doesn't deal with just one league, since the Patriots have been in the AFL and NFL. The sentence could use some adjusting to reflect that.Otherwise, everything looks good.
