Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 2 February 2021 and 14 May 2021. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Waltersaraceni.

New York

In response to this, Florham Park, New Jersey is part of the New York metropolitan area. The team is headquartered in Florham Park, but it does not actually play any games there, and it doesn't seem likely that they ever will. Obviously, they play in East Rutherford, which is also part of the New York metropolitan area. This is why the team is the New York Jets - Clearly, more readers are going to be familiar with the New York metro area than with Florham Park specifically, and it should go without saying that more of their fan base lives outside Florham Park than in it. In an attempt to compromise I included mention of both Florham Park and New York metropolitan area in the opening sentence; while I don't think Florham Park is necessary (it's mentioned later in the same paragraph), the link to the New York metro area should not be removed again.--Cúchullain ^t/c 14:00, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from 71.183.82.71, 18 February 2011

edit semi-protected Factual error: At footnote number 11 the article states "In 1999, Hess passed away while the team, plagued by injuries, produced a four win record.[11]" In fact, they had 8 wins and placed 4th in their division. The citation provided in the article is accurate but the text regarding their record is incorrect. 71.183.82.71 (talk) 17:53, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from 71.183.82.71, 23 February 2011

edit semi-protected In the "Franchise History" section of the article it states, "The early 1990s saw New York struggling. After firing coach Bruce Coslet, owner Leon Hess hired Rich Kotite who led the team to the NFL's worst record for two straight years." The passage implies that Rich Kotite followed Bruce Coslet as head coach when in fact Pete Carroll served as head coach for one season following Coslet's firing. They hired Rich Kotite thereafter. 71.183.82.71 (talk) 17:07, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from 71.183.82.71, 24 February 2011

edit semi-protected Factual error. The article states, "After firing coach Bruce Coslet, owner Leon Hess hired Pete Carroll who struggled to a 5–9 record and was promptly fired at the end of the season". Correction: The Jets had a 6-10 record during the season Pete Carroll was head coach. not 5-9. http://www.newyorkjets.com/team/history/1994.html http://www.pro-football-reference.com/coaches/CarrPe0.htm 71.183.82.71 (talk) 16:22, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct. That error has been fixed. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:00, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Statistics

Hi, I have a problem with the table in the statistics section of this article. For the most recent 2010 season it lists the Jets as second under the regular season column. The only stats in this column are win and losses, which puts them 4th in the AFC. This might be referring to the fact that they made it to the AFC championship, but it is still listed under regular season and that would still be second in only the AFC. It could be made more clear, and I'm unsure the '2nd' standing is credible.

--SunshineOdyssey (talk) 02:44, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The statistics do not reflect their finish in the AFC but rather their finish in the AFC East in which they placed second. And their post-season performance is not reflected under the regular season but the "Post season results" column. Perhaps it could be clearer and we are certainly open to suggestions. But, just to reiterate, the statistics reference their AFC East standings. -- The Writer 2.0 ^Talk 11:17, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Request 2 November, 2013

Can someone make the green on the page to 182830, this is regarded as the official color of the team

Stadium history in the New York Jets article infobox

I sincerely believe that the city/state locations need to be represented in the infobox of the New York Jets article, as seen in this revision. This is similar to how the stadium history of the New York Giants article is organized. Please consider changing it back to the revision I have provided. Thank you. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 15:18, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Per the infobox template: "stadium_years A bulleted list of the team's previous and current home fields (current stadium should be bolded)". There is no mention of city/location, other teams with multiple stadiums are simple bullet lists of the stadium name without location, and the history can be gotten in the articles of the stadiums. Discuss at the talk page of the infobox instead since this would impact all teams.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 15:41, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. The info is at the stadium articles, which are linked. Don't want to crowd the infobox too much. Since these edits (which you've added to all 32 NFL teams) affect so many articles, they should have been discussed first. oknazevad (talk) 02:57, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Training camp location information is out of date

The Jets no longer train at SUNY Cortland. They train elsewhere, and this has been so for a couple of years. I do not know where their current official training camp is so I cannot suggest how to correct it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.111.13.178 (talk) 23:06, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New York Jets updated look

On March 4, 2019, the New York Jets unveiled a new logo, new colors, and new uniforms. SportsFan007 (talk) 00:31, 5 April 2019 (UTC)SportsFan007[reply]

@SportsFan007: Yes, I already know about it. Yes, I have already updated the article with accurate HTML color codes and URL references regarding the club's refreshed logos and uniforms. Charlesaaronthompson (talk) 02:41, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Charlesaaronthompson: Thank you so much!!!!! SportsFan007 (talk) 02:44, 5 April 2019 (UTC)SportsFan007[reply]

Can the hexcodes for Spotlight white and Stealth black please be added? SportsFan007 (talk) 03:20, 5 April 2019 (UTC)SportsFan007[reply]

The graphic showing the "Current Uniform" is incorrect; it shows that the bottom half of the jerseys are gray, which they are not. GrafZeppelin127 (talk) 18:08, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

2019 Wordmark

Can someone update the wordmark image? If I find the file myself, I'll upload it. But if not, thank you in advance. SportsFan007 (talk) 16:05, 5 April 2019 (UTC)SportsFan007[reply]

Article needs permanent semi-protection

I just glanced at this article for the first time ever because of yesterday's SNL skit. It's in bad shape.

I just fixed this really bad edit by User:The Writer 2.0 on 7 April 2011. This was a really bad edit because (1) the correct word is "corporate," not "corporately," and (2) "corporate" is normally used to refer to corporations, while the entity at issue is clearly a limited liability company. That's not rocket science; I figured out those things, respectively, around ages 16 and 24. Considering how there are so many smart people in New York City, it's amazing that bad edit was in the article for over nine years.

This is but one symptom of a larger problem, which is that the article needs top-to-bottom revisions and appears to be vandalized fairly regularly. Unfortunately, neither is likely to change any time soon, as the Jets' abysmal performance implies they are probably unable to sustain the critical mass of fans who would be able to write a really good article. At the very least, the article should be placed under permanent semi-protection so that only auto-confirmed users can edit it. --Coolcaesar (talk) 22:33, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Are you serious? You felt the need to attack me for one singular edit? I literally did nothing to you. Also, it was 2011, one of the first years I started writing here—I don’t pretend to know everything and I was likely basing it off the language of the source at the time and this article has gone through multiple passes by others in the time since so if you’re going to get snippy and petty, then why don’t you call out everyone else? Feel free to act pompous on YOUR own time, and stop wasting MY time with that, I shouldn’t have to log in after a break to return to this nonsense. Have a pleasant day. — The Writer 2.0 ^Talk 11:54, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

History section

I have copied and pasted content from History of the New York Jets for the history section, as part of my project to conform all 32 NFL teams history pages.

I have been working on this the last few weeks and am trying to coordinate with other contributors to keep this as the standard for NFL team article history sections.

Whiterabbitzero (talk) 22:26, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you think that duplicating the content is needed? There is a reason why some pages are split. – Sabbatino 03:08, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:SUMMARY. The entire content of the History subpage does not need to be in the main article. It would make the main article far too long. A summary of the history and a link to the History sub-article is the proper way to handle this. Please do not re-attempt an improper merger. Thank you. oknazevad (talk) 18:21, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

GA concerns

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are listed below:

The "Logos and uniforms" section is almost completely uncited.
Many sections are very long. I suggest that any section with over 4 paragraphs be broken up with Level 3 headings for easier navigation.
I do not believe the "Notable first round picks" is necessary for this article. I think this would be better if it was spun out into an article about the NY Jets's first round draft picks.

Is anyone willing to address the above, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 17:12, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
