I am nominating this for featured list because... I've put a solid amount of effort into this article and I believe it now meets the FL requirements. Go Heels. Disc Wheel (Talk + Tontributions) 04:50, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments – A temporary return to the nominating side of FLC has encouraged me to get off my lazy rear end and give something a review. This looks good for me, given my interest in sports.
  • The 20-10 score needs an en dash, not the hyphen it currently has.
  • I assume Carl Snavely was the head coach? This isn't entirely clear from the lead.
  • Can Boston College be linked in the fourth paragraph? There should be a general article on the school's football team, if not one on that specific season.
  • "Withers helped the Tar Heels become eligible and participate in the 2011 Independence Bowl". Should "eligible" be "bowl-eligible"?
  • "where they lost by seventeen to the Missouri Tigers." Add "points" to this, perhaps?
  • Key: None of the three general items appear to apply to this list, and there aren't any ties (and likely won't be in the future).
Woops, did not do that column. Fixed Disc Wheel (Talk + Tontributions) 02:11, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • For the bowl and opponent columns in the table, there should be general bowl game and team links available if more specific articles have not yet been created. It would look more appealing if almost half the bowl game weren't left unlinked, and the number of opposing teams without articles (seven by my count) is small enough that you could probably just red-link them if you wanted. Note 4 says that there are supposed to be general articles when needed in this column, but few are provided.
  • All of the scores in the table need en dashes.
  • Note 2: "an" should be "a", and this again refers to ties when none exist.
  • References 3, 6, and 7 need en dashes for their page ranges, and ref 3 should be formatted as pp. instead of p. If you are using the cite templates, changing the page= parameter to pages= will fix this.
  • Conversely, the single-page refs 2 and 5 should be formatted as p.
  • All caps in ref 9 should be removed.
  • Not essential, but it would be nice if the bibliography was in alphabetical order. Shouldn't be hard since there are only a couple of books there.
  • The second general reference could use a PDF indicator like the first one has. Giants2008 (Talk) 01:27, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Done and done, thanks for the look over! Disc Wheel (Talk + Tontributions) 04:51, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Since the establishment of the team in 1888 Linking only "1888" is a WP:EGG link
  • Since the establishment of the team in 1888, North Carolina has appeared in 30 bowl games.[1] Included in these games are three combined appearances in the traditional "big four" bowl games (the Rose, Sugar, Cotton, and Orange). I'd combine these sentences.
  • "20–10" is another EGG link
  • The 1974 entry either has the wrong text or the wrong color.
  • Reference 3 does not go to the appropriate bibliographic link.
  • Reference 9 uses an irregular retrieval date. Seattle (talk) 23:58, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed the issues above. Disc Wheel (Talk + Tontributions) 03:08, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • ... in 30 bowl games, included in these games are three combined appearances ... Change "included in these games are" to "including". Otherwise, it looks good. Seattle (talk) 12:35, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Got it done. Disc Wheel (Talk + Tontributions)
  • Support: good work! —Zia Khan 15:22, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
