[edit] Stylized Titles
I don't think that putting stylized titles ("A Dynasty Is Born!") on the years when the Patriots won the Super Bowl is very professional. I'm happy for New England, but the celebratory overtone does not read like an encyclopedia. If you give titles to the championship seasons then you have to give them all titles. And I hope they are neutral ones. I left them with the calendar year (e.g. 2001, 2002, 2003) for now.
[edit] NPOV Still Questioned?
I'm confused. If the neutrality elements have been corrected, then shouldn't the dispute indicator be removed?
As for the stylized titles, I think it's an excellent point. With that said, some discussion of the current (or perhaps slipping away) era should mention at least the debate over including it as one of professional sports dynasties.
[edit] Working on this page
In order to really enhance the Patriots' FA, we should add detailed information to this page. Monicasdude provided some great tips and thoughts on detailed business dealings and draft choices, which we can highlight in the main article and add to this one. Deckiller 19:25, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:McGinestLawSeymour.jpg
Image:McGinestLawSeymour.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] New lead section, more work needed
I added a new lead section. It is the re-edited history section from New England Patriots#History. Also, the article itself needs much work. Much of it is unreferenced, and the organization is a mess. We should probably reorganize it by decade, rather than by random grouping of years. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 19:34, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
