Sorry, Sportsfangnome, but just as in your last nomination, none of the articles is eligible because none of them has been recently created or expanded 5x or promoted to Good Article. Please, please, please read WP:DYK, especially the section on eligibility criteria, before submitting any more nominations. MANdARAX XAЯAbИAM 14:11, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

retro unis fixed up top, image down below still wrong

I know there's a lot of other things to do in the world but the wing is now correct at the top of the page (thank you) while the throwbacks down below (like the 30th picture?) are the same recolored modern decal. I think Eagles org or the NFL might appreciate the accuracy update. Thanks,

Franchise Record for Rushing Yards in a Game

On 11/24/2024 Eagles RB Saquon Barkley rushed for 255 yards beating LeSean Mccoy's franchise record of 217 yards. So the rushing section of the franchise records needs to be updated. ESPN Game log Sadofgames (talk) 05:26, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-The section headers that [[User:Thealfredprice|Thealfredprice]] keeps adding under History, in my opinion, are awful. Not [[WP:NPOV|neutral]], editorialized, and unencyclopedic. There is absolutely no need to give section headers further "meaning" (as Thealfredprice says) than what they already mean. This isn't an article only meant to be read by Eagles fans, or even football fans for that matter, and shouldn't read like a love letter to a sports team.

To say they are "awful" is dismissing the attempt to create a historic tone for the page.  I will address each section and maybe we can somehow take this to another platform and let fans decide what we should do. I'm not trying to make this a battle. You are absolutely correct that they are not encyclopedic, but maybe we can come to a compromise. I also see that during these eras we should attribute something else besides the head coach.

-_1 Seems we agree
-_2 We also agree
-_3 Glory Days seems appropriate to me. If we are going to highlight coaches then why not Greasy Neale?
-_4 Okay I get Boo Birds is probably the worst. But there should be a title.
-_5 Dick Vermeil comes to town. Could be better. But summarizes that era. He was a total outsider to the team and NFL
-_6 Buddy Ryan and the Gang Green defense. He brought us some of the best defenses in NFL history. White, Brown, Allen, Simmons, Hopkins, Joyner, etc
-_6 New owner and a new look. This is a huge moment in the team's history. Lurie buying the team and committing to a complete overhaul of the franchise.
-_7 Tough call here. Kotite was a failure and Rhodes had so much promise at first.
-_8 So much more than Andy Reid.
-_9 Here is my opinion on this. Chip Kelly does not deserve to have a headlining title in the history. My opinion but I just feel he did more damage than good.
-_10 This is still ongoing. A better title could be in the works.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Thealfredprice|Thealfredprice]] ([[User talk:Thealfredprice#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Thealfredprice|contribs]]) 01:04, 11 April 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-::Again, this isn't up to "fans" to vote on, this is an encyclopedia, it's for everyone to read. History does not have opinion or emotion in its tone, which these headings do not follow. These headers don't need titles outside of years and/or coaches, people are here to read facts not editorials. "Glory Days" can be replaced with "Greasy Neale era". "Boo Birds" can be replaced with years and coaches. "Dick Vermeil era" with years works. I thought Gang Green was the [[New York Jets|Jets]]? Let's call it the Buddy Ryan era. I'm not interested in discussing which coaches were "failures" in your opinion, because it doesn't matter.

Take a look at other sports teams pages and you will see my point. [[New York Yankees]] [[Philadelphia Phillies]] [[Philadelphia Flyers]] [[San Francisco 49ers]] [[Green Bay Packers]]
-Just a note to say that the section headings remain a source of potential improvement. In terms of a storied sports franchise like this one, one-year periods are not eras in almost any sense of the word. The worst section headings introduce non-neutral assertions, but this system (listing a different era for every head coach) is a close second. Surely we can think of neutral ways to break up the history that don’t involve listing everything by coach.

-==Page photos and images==
-A few times over the past year or more, I have returned to this page to standardize the photo and imaging positioning, which continues been changed in formats inconsistent with
-[[Wikipedia:Image_use_policy#Displayed_image_size|WP: Image use]], weirdly changing the photos from upright to varying px levels and moving them right into the middle of text. I've fixed them again, but: 1.) Upright imaging should be used not--as was the case--this odd and varying pixel levels; and 2.) Unless there is strong reason not to, photos should be placed at the top of sections under headings and never buried--as they also were--in the middle of text. Tough to say if this was vandalism or just naïve editing, but wanted to leave a message here on it and ask that this misuse of the photo positioning and sizing end. There also rarely is a reason for photos not to be placed on the right column; placing them on the left--or elsewhere--as also was done just obstructs the text.
