[edit] Indianapolis Colts

I'd like to get this article up to GA and then FA status...anything along those lines would be much appreciated. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 17:11, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

• As a start, the first thing I would do would be to cite references. There is only one reference source listed for a lot of information. I would think that having no references would be a big obstacle to getting to GA status. Doing it retroactively will be very time consuming, especially for info you didn't add personally. I can sympathize with this. I went through the same thing with the Kinston Indians page. It might help to place the citation needed template: ^{[citation needed]} after each sentence that needs to be backed up with a source. I just did something like that on the Reggie Jackson page.
• The next would be to incorporate the trivia section into the body of the text. Trivia sections are frowned upon during reviews. Kinston eagle 13:05, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure about the sourcing...I mean, there's no real reason to source something that's not controversial or challenged. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 16:37, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

• as a GAC, GAR, and FAC reviewer, i concur that the inclusion of a broad set of reputable references should be cited with inline citations. i have marked several portions where claims need a specific reference. check other recent GAs related to players and you will notice proflific referencing. also, the prose needs to be formalized to remove slang speech and formalize the text, eg the "ashes of the Texans". was the franchise on fire? i have done a minor ce on the sections and will watch the page to offer more help.
