List of Washington Redskins head coaches
This list is nicely written, has several images, and references as well, and meets all criteria. - Milk's   Favorite   Cookie  02:17, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Comments Only two: -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 01:51, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't like how small "Statistics correct as of ..." is. It could be troublesome for people with bad sight.
 * The use of double hyphens in the table (--) should be replaced with emdashes (—).
 * ✅ However, I did keep the font small for "Statistics correct as of ..." - Milk's   Favorite   Cookie  19:12, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Why? It's really hard to read. -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 21:26, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Not only because it's in several other featured list - but it just seems "right" that way. Try a "Show Preview" - it seems like it's part of the lead. Thanks, - Milk's   Favorite   Cookie  21:28, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Other stuff exists isn't a reason to do it here. It would be better if it was incorporated into the main text. Also, it's a parastub. -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 21:34, 18 March 2008 (UTC)


 * ✅ Just put it with the lead. Or should I do a footnote? - Milk's   Favorite   Cookie  21:41, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * No that's good. -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 21:54, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok. Any other comments/improvements/suggestions? Thanks, - Milk's   Favorite   Cookie  21:56, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Not really. The lead seems clear and consise, though I wonder why a picture for George Allen was selected for it. Did he do anything particularly notable? Also while I'm no good at maths, isn't .500 and .200 the same as .5 and .2 in the % column? -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 15:48, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * George Allen was chosen because his first year as coach he lead the Redskins to their first playoff appearance in 26 years. Then, during his tenure, the Skins went to the playoffs 5/7 seasons he coached.  And finally, hes in the Hall of Fame.  All good reasons why hes the main pic.

 * Ok, that's fine. I was just wondering. Personally I prefer to see the first, or the last, but if he's achieved the most then that's also a valid enough reason for him to be there. -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 05:51, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Support All concerns met, meets the criteria -- ṃ• α• Ł• ṭ• ʰ• Ə• Щ•  @ 16:18, 28 March, 2008 **Avoid links in the emboldened lead sentence per WP:LEAD.
 * Support. The article looks a lot better than it did when I started it, good work cleaning it up. Here are some things that you may want to change, however:
 * Images should not be forced to user-defined widths. As a preference, use the   paramter for portraits.  See Manual of Style for more information on this.
 * Also, I did not want to add it without asking since the article is an FLC, but what would you think about adding the image I just added for Curly Lambeau? Keep up the good work.  Jwalte04 (talk) 08:11, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
 * ✅ - I think adding Curly Lambeau wouldn't be a bad idea. Go for it. - Milk's   Favorite   Cookie  13:18, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
