[edit] Standard Score Notation
Scores are noted either one of 3 ways:
- 21-17
- (21-17)
- 21 to 17
Which is preferred? KyuuA4 09:02, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- I'm recommending the 3rd option: 21 to 17. This will differentiate from win-loss records, denoted like the 1st option. KyuuA4 09:04, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- Alright, use the third option for the scores, and the win-loss records would be denotated as (10–5–1) or (15–1).
[edit] Wordyness and Too Much Detail
Reading through some of the material here can be a headache - as trivia tends to dominate the text. KyuuA4 19:51, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- "Omit Needless Words" - 'nuff said I will go through the article sometime later, and try to consolidate it. Perhaps even add some references too. ;-) -- ShadowJester07 ►Talk 03:11, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

- It'll be best to minimize the number of games mentioned where scores are included. Games such as playoff games, Super Bowls, and maybe critical season games should be fine. Critical season games should be those that made an impact on the season as a whole. KyuuA4 07:11, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Expanding
I think we need to expand more information the Bears decade history. Alakazam has done a wonderful job with the 2000's so far. A goal is to write this history section better. The 1920s-1990's are too shallow. Does anyone agree? --Happyman22 02:59, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
- Personally, I am not in favor of the arbitrary division by decade. For example, Ditka's reign from 1982 to 1992 should be all in one section because he took the team to the playoffs in 7 of his 11 seasons as head coach, and made a significant impact on the popular culture of the team.

- Exactly, redivide the Bears history into eras.

- Indeed, Era's make more clear and distinct divisions than decades. KyuuA4 19:51, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Comments
I commented on the ratings comment page for this article, also the History of the New York Giants, would serve as a good example for this article. Currently the main article and it's 3 subarticles, all are GAs. Quadzilla99 01:35, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
