Template[edit]

Hello Zzyzx11 - I see you moved the {{NCAAFootballSingleGameHeader}} to the Game Summary, saying it is redundant with {{Linescore Amfootball}}. You are right that the Linescore is completely contained in the {{NCAAFootballSingleGameHeader}}. Since the WikiProject College Football standard is to use {NCAAFootballSingleGameHeader}} at the top, I replaced it there and removed the {{Linescore Amfootball}}. Please let em know what you think.

GA Reassessment[edit]

This discussion is transcluded from Talk:2006 Alamo Bowl/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

I am reviewing this article for GA sweeps, to make sure older GAs still meet the criteria. While I'm sure it used to meet it, there is a lot of work needed for this article to keep GA status:

Refs #1, 2, 3, 15, 20, and 26 are deadlinks and need to be replaced.
The pregame section needs to be split up into smaller sections.
Look at other Bowl GAs for how to expand and modify the article.

I'm gonna put the article on hold for 5 days. If progress is being made I'll do a more detailed prose review, if not I'll delist this. Wizardman 16:42, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thinking about it a bit more, I'm delisting it now, as it still needs a lot of new work to be done on it. Wizardman 19:37, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
