I've listed this article for peer review because I want this to become a featured list. Before I take it to FLC, I'd like some ideas for refinement. There are two specific concerns of mine that I'd like advice on. First, there are quite a few red links for Giants seasons. Should pages be created for them in advance of a nomination? Second, I've recently read that colors in lists need symbols for accessibility. What exactly needs to be done in that regard?

Firstly, to deal with your two specific issues...
- Yes, I would create articles for the seasons, even if they are, right now, just summaries. Otherwise the list may fall foul of the "few red links" business.
- As for colours and symbols, I suggest you read WP:MOS#Colors if you haven't already. For a good example of how your list appears to people with various types of colour blindness, run the page through this website - you soon see that some of the colours become very close to one another. Hence the need to add, say, an asterisk, a dagger etc as well as a colour to ensure that no-one is prejudiced against.
Link $ to the US version, just to be sure.
I'm seeing an odd column issue on the right-hand side of the table...
UPI could use being expanded on its first use.
"The statistics in the table above are current as of February 3, 2008." - I tend to italicise and simply state "Statistics correct as of February 3, 2008"
I would guess that New York Giants seasons is a sub-cat of New York Giants, so the supercat is redundant.

Haven't gotten to the two important ones yet, but I have made the other changes. There were actually multiple issues on the right side, which are now fixed. Also, I assumed you meant that I should remove the general Giants category, which I did. Giants2008 (17-14) 15:50, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've now added symbols for all colors. Last up will be the season pages, which will take me some time. Giants2008 (17-14) 21:19, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't like to contradict other reviewers, but per WP:$, "it is generally unnecessary to link the symbols of well-known currencies." (the $ sign) I doubt that readers will question what type of dollar the article is talking about, this an US-centric article.
"Four years later, the Giants earned another championship, and they made four appearances in the NFL Championship Game from 1939 to 1946, losing each time." "earned"-->won. I think "they" can be removed.

All three done. Thanks for both of your reviews. Giants2008 (17-14) 17:25, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
