Review by Killervogel5

All right, if you're looking for an FL push, I'll give you the straight FLC review as if I were going to look at a nomination.

No lead image - certainly there is something you can use, it's very bland without it.
- No, these's nothing, I looked everywhere. Bucs (talk) 08:35, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Image:Cardinals stadium crop.jpg will work fine. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 13:03, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - That's just where the team plays, it has nothing to do with the subject of this article. BUC (talk) 10:25, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - It's a start. It needs something; it won't pass FLC without one. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 00:07, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The bold text seems forced; it's not necessary, especially over a list of that many cities. For that matter, I think that it should just be Arizona Cardinals. You can talk about the other cities later.
'The Cardinals franchise originates in 1898," - should be "originated"
Reference needed for the "Cardinal red" statement.
"They then joined the APFA in 1920 making them the oldest franchise in the NFL." - that doesn't make them the oldest team in the NFL.
There is a large proportion of red links in the table, I would really like to see stubs created for some/most of them before it hits the FLC.
Many people at FLC are going to ask for a sortable table and removal of the colspans. That will require you to re-link each occurence of each name and each season. That way, coaches' tenures are not split up either.
- No piont really. It would only other them alphabetically. Bucs (talk) 08:46, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm just telling you what will be asked for during an FLC. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 13:03, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
List headers have to be linked (playoffs, awards, regular season, etc.), as many articles as can be appropriately found.
- What should they link to? Bucs (talk) 08:55, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Playoffs#Playoffs_in_the_National_Football_League, NFL#Awards, and Regular season (NFL). KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 13:03, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
For the playoff columns and the repeated coaches, I would much prefer to see em-dashes as opposed to en-dashes used for the blank years.
Coach of the year should be Coach of the Year.
Your footnote is blank.
"Arizona History" under General references is misspelled.
"The all-time leader in games coached is Jim Hanifan, with 89 and in wins is Don Coryell with 42.[2]" - Split this into two sentences or use a semicolon. It's stunted right now.
"Zero" is not a winning percentage - it should be "with a winning percentage of .000"
Don't italicize Racine Street Cardinals.
There should be a comma after Racine Street Cardinals.
"They then joined the APFA" - remove then.
De-link "As of 2008".
"over 1,100 games" - an exact number would be much nicer.
- That would require a lot of updating. Bucs (talk) 08:44, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, these things happen. If it's going to be an FL, it will take a lot of work too. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 13:03, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - What I mean is it will need updating constently even if it get to FL status. BUC (talk) 10:24, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - That's why you don't update during an active season, only at the end. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 00:08, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"in a total of 88 seasons" - "a total of" is redundant; just "in 88 seasons" is good.
"In those games" - you can just get rid of that altogether.
"while Ray Willsey, Ray Prochaska and Chuck Drulis combined, are statistically the best, with a winning percentage of 1.000." - Having three coaches is a unique circumstance; a short explanation of why this happened should be included in the lead.

I hope this helps. I can re-review after you've looked it over if you'd like; just tell me on my talk page. If not, I will see it again at its FLC as well. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 21:41, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
