The Dallas Cowboys are, historically speaking, one of the NFL's most successful franchises, holding the second-highest all-time regular season record and having won 5 Super Bowls. The list is an overview of their season-by-season results and awards. This is #4 in my ongoing effort to get all of the lists of NFL team seasons to featured list. As always, I will do my best to be as responsive as possible and address all criticisms and suggestions that come up. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:26, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
  • "Originally a member of the NFL Western Conference, the team was moved to the NFL Eastern Conference in 1961 after just one season, they remained in this conference until 1970." - this doesn't work grammatically. I would suggest either "Originally a member of the NFL Western Conference, the team was moved to the NFL Eastern Conference in 1961 after just one season; they remained in this conference until 1970." (note punctuation change) or "Originally a member of the NFL Western Conference, the team was moved to the NFL Eastern Conference in 1961 after just one season and remained in this conference until 1970."
  • "the Cowboys division, the NFL Capitol Division" => "the Cowboys' division, the NFL Capitol Division"
  • "total championships amongst all 32 NFL franchise" => "total championships amongst all 32 NFL franchises"
  • "The team currently has had" - I believe the word "currently" is slightly frowned on, so change to "as of 2025"
  • Image caption: "During which time he had 20 consecutive winning seasons" => "During this time he had 20 consecutive winning seasons"
  • SuperBowl winning rows use a symbol which the key says relates only to years up to 1969....?
  • Footnote: "Up to 1967, the league was either divided its two divisions into, two conferences, or neither" - this is a bit mangled. I think what is meant is "Up to 1967, the league was either divided into two divisions, two conferences, or neither" but I am no expert and might be wrong

(note punctuation change) or "Originally a member of the NFL Western Conference, the team was moved to the NFL Eastern Conference in 1961 after just one season and remained in this conference until 1970." – Done with the punctuation change. I need to get better about utilizing semi colons
    • "the Cowboys division, the NFL Capitol Division" -> "the Cowboys' division, the NFL Capitol Division" – Done.
    • "total championships amongst all 32 NFL franchise" -> "total championships amongst all 32 NFL franchises" – Pluralized
    • "The team currently has had" - I believe the word "currently" is slightly frowned on, so change to "as of 2025" – You're right, we do frown on that. Changed to simply "The team has had...", to match a past promotion. Also added to the beginning of the paragraph "As of the of the 2024 season...", which should clarify that the numbers in that paragraph apply to that entire paragraph.
    • Image caption: "During which time he had 20 consecutive winning seasons" -> "During this time he had 20 consecutive winning seasons" – Done.
    • SuperBowl winning rows use a symbol which the key says relates only to years up to 1969....? – Ack! Tried to use a consistent key across season articles and mistakenly left the old one in place. I've fixed this and double checked other symbols to be sure, and it should all be good now.
    • Footnote: "Up to 1967, the league was either divided its two divisions into, two conferences, or neither" - this is a bit mangled. I think what is meant is "Up to 1967, the league was either divided into two divisions, two conferences, or neither" but I am no expert and might be wrong – No you're right, I've made the fix, thank you.
    As always I greatly appreciate the feedback ChrisTheDude! Your suggestions always make the articles I work on better  :) Hey man im josh (talk) 15:40, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
