The nickname 'The Big Red Machine' needs to be added for the 2019-current dynasty. 47.17.243.81 (talk) 20:05, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done You'll need a reliable source indicating that's a well-known nickname for the Chiefs. OhNoitsJamie Talk 20:22, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GA status

[edit]

This is an older GA promotion listed at the ongoing GA sweeps. Most of the post-2012 content is uncited, which is unfortunate as this time span is one of the most important in Chiefs history. Additionally, other portions of the article are uncited, such as the entire retired numbers table and the hall of famers section. The entire article needs a fine-toothed comb for various less obvious issues as well, such as giving ticket prices as of 2009, and has long held a reputation for being one of the toughest and loudest outdoor stadiums for opposing players to play in is cited entirely to sources from before 2010 and while this is still going to be true I expect, this needs newer sources to continue to support this content. The section about the rivalry with the Rams has accreted non-obvious uncited text - the three sources for this section are two sources focusing on the 2018 game and a source from before the Rams left St. Louis. hailed by many as one of the greatest games in league history from that section particularly needs better sourcing, as both of the sources about that game in this paragraph are from the teams involved's official websites, so independent sourcing proclaiming this is necessary. There are going to be similar issues uncovered in a close look-over the whole article - if work does not occur, a good article reassessment will be necessary.

[edit]

This is probably really dumb and nitpicky, but the logo on the helmet on the vector image used for the uniforms is wrong.

The Chiefs have 2 logos, the one where the bottom of the "C" points up, towards the rest of the "C" that they use as their primary logo, and the one where the bottom of the "C" points to the right, the same way as the top, that they only use on the helmets. Sportslogos.met has an example of this, or you can look at any photo you want of a player wearing the helmet to see an example of this minute difference. The current uniform example vector image has the primary logo, instead of the helmet logo on the helmet.

We should probably revise this, as to give people an accurate representation of what the uniforms look like. Rmcmullin (talk) 15:58, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction

[edit]

This first sentence is not written very well -

The Kansas City Chiefs are an American footballteam in history based in Kansas City, Missouri.

I recommend -

The Kansas City Chiefs are a historic American football team based in Kansas City, Missouri. Jemmson74 (talk) 06:20, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I took out “in history” because it was part of some vandalism that was added a couple of weeks ago and never fully corrected. All football teams are historic (in the sense that they are part of football history) so we can leave that out. Larry Hockett (Talk) 07:06, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Highlighting what makes them historic is more objective than just calling them historic. —Bagumba (talk) 09:02, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion, it does not need to expressed that the team is historic if the history section covers their past and present. Red Director (talk) 14:17, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
