This is my fourth National Football League FLC, coming after List of Baltimore Ravens seasons. The Atlanta Falcons are a mediocre team in the league, with some success coming in the last 20 years. Thanks in advance to everyone who provides their feedback :) ULPS (talk • contribs) 22:35, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - I didn't pick up anything - great work! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:04, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey man im josh
  • "Ref" column should be "Refs" instead since some of the sections have multiple references.
  • Could you include notes for 2002 and 1970 to explain the change in conference/division. Preferably in the relevant column for these.
  • The note for 1982 should probably be included in the division & finish column instead of the reference column.
  • Source review passes. All references appear to be properly formatted and reliable for the content being cited.

Good stuff ULPS, even if you did take an article I was going to eventually complete! Hey man im josh (talk) 15:26, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hey man im josh: I think I got everything! And you'll get every other season FL, don't worry 😉 ULPS (talk • contribs) 03:47, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:06, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Shoot, I actually just found two issues @ULPS.
  • Ref 17, please add |url-access=subscription to the reference.
  • Ref 39, please add a published date
I won't withdraw my support because I'm confident you'll get these fixed. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:30, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed all :) ULPS (talk • contribs) 19:40, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! Hey man im josh (talk) 19:47, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comments by SounderBruce
  • "NFL Commissioner" should be uncapped per MOS:JOBTITLE.
  • The expansion team sentence is rather short and could be merged upstream; the link to 1966 should also be expanded out (perhaps to "1966 season") to avoid a MOS:EGG situation.
  • I would switch the ordering of the paragraph to put the ownership history before the stadiums to keep mentions of Smith closer together.
    • At the same time, I think expanding a bit on the different stadiums would be helpful to readers.
  • "The Falcons made it to two" could be "The Falcons have appeared in two" to avoid a "to two" situation.
  • "losing both to" implies that both losses were to the Broncos.
  • An explanation of which divisions the Falcons played in could help readers as well.
  • Nothing to say about the table, except that I never knew the NFL had a Coastal Division. SounderBruce 07:52, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @SounderBruce: Got everything, except expanding on the stadiums. What info do you think I should put there? I was thinking things like super bowl appearances, but that may confuse people as those were not played at the stadium. ULPS (talk • contribs) 17:47, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    A simple description of the stadiums would help explain why the team had moved; e.g. the current stadium has a retractable roof and the first one was outdoor and shared with baseball. SounderBruce 02:06, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • ULPS Can you put a space between the symbol and the text in the key? The hashtag, for example, is really hard to read.
  • Use {{Win-loss record}} for all the win loss records in the text and table. You could delete Note b.
  • The Notes shouldn't be in the "References" section. They are hidden and aren't references. They should be added in the table like Note c is.
  • Note a should just be converted to inline text. Just state "by winning percentage" in the text.
  • Ref 80 isn't archived.

That's all I got. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 19:26, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just gonna send a ping to @ULPS in case they missed this feedback. They're usually pretty good about responding quickly to feedback here. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:58, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Whoops I missed this, I'll get to it within a day or two :) ULPS (talk • contribs) 16:27, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Gonzo fan2007: Got everything I think, but I'm not sure what you mean by the notes being in the references section? They're all in their own "Notes" section, I think I'm misunderstanding you. ULPS (talk • contribs) 19:19, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ULPS, the clickable links for the notes [b], [d] and [f] are located in the Refs column of the table. Since this column is titled "Refs", it should only include reference links. If you look at the other seasons lists, these are typically located elsewhere in the table. As an example, Note [b] could be located next to "1978" in the "Season" column. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 19:23, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Gonzo fan2007: Ah okay, got it now. Fixed. ULPS (talk • contribs) 19:31, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
