Standard Score Notation

[edit]

Scores are noted either one of 3 ways:

  • 21-17
  • (21-17)
  • 21 to 17

Which is preferred? KyuuA4 09:02, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm recommending the 3rd option: 21 to 17. This will differentiate from win-loss records, denoted like the 1st option. KyuuA4 09:04, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, use the third option for the scores, and the win-loss records would be denotated as (10–5–1) or (15–1).

Wordyness and Too Much Detail

[edit]

Reading through some of the material here can be a headache - as trivia tends to dominate the text. KyuuA4 19:51, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Omit Needless Words" - 'nuff said I will go through the article sometime later, and try to consolidate it. Perhaps even add some references too. ;-) --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  03:11, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It'll be best to minimize the number of games mentioned where scores are included. Games such as playoff games, Super Bowls, and maybe critical season games should be fine. Critical season games should be those that made an impact on the season as a whole. KyuuA4 07:11, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Expanding

[edit]

I think we need to expand more information the Bears decade history. Alakazam has done a wonderful job with the 2000's so far. A goal is to write this history section better. The 1920s-1990's are too shallow. Does anyone agree? --Happyman22 02:59, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Exactly, redivide the Bears history into eras.
The 20s are so incomplete there is so much more history of pre Bears-Staley 's era that need to be included. What was the Staley's nick name.it was Trafton's 11 after George [The Brute] Trafton Captained the Team to winning season's before the Bears were named Without it, The roots are missing, the Soldier field Storys of being Frozen & Torn etc
, what they did for fun turned in to American's favorite Sport s 47.157.177.45 (talk) 17:12, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

[edit]

I commented on the ratings comment page for this article, also the History of the New York Giants, would serve as a good example for this article. Currently the main article and it's 3 subarticles, all are GAs. Quadzilla99 01:35, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:1946Bears.jpg

[edit]

Image:1946Bears.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.

Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame

[edit]

I've started an article on Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame and it needs a lot of work tracking down football players and filling in the details (Sport, Position, Local team, Other major team). Any help would be appreciated. Smallbones (talk) 17:35, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]


1919 independent season

[edit]

I understand the Staleys played football in 1919 should that also be included? ie Cardinals and Packers Smith03 (talk) 18:42, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of Footnotes/References; Expansion

[edit]

We might need more references/footnotes. Expansion might also be needed, as the Jauron and Wannstedt eras are awfully short and somewhat bland, in my opinion. We're going to need a lot more info to expand, then. ZappaOMati (talk) 01:53, 7 March 2012 (UTC)Zappa[reply]

Assessment comment

[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:History of the Chicago Bears/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Needs more references (preferably inline citations), lead needs expansion (see WP:LEAD), and one or two more fair use acceptable pics (free ones are ideal of course). Also has some formatting issues see History of the New York Giants for an example of a good article on the subject. In addition try to remove the self reference from the lead, and the sentence about the Yankees comparison in the lead is most probably OR (Packers would be the Yankees of the NFL if you went by titles), it needs to go.
