Photos

I don't keep up with the Alabama articles as often as I used to, but I'd like let you know, my Flickr set will be updated throughout the season with photos from the games. All the photos are licensed appropriately for use on Wiki. – Latics (talk) 03:40, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Latics! Done and done, but most importantly...Roll Tide! Patriarca12 (talk) 23:14, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

Information in article needed to support "Offensive scheme" information
Could not find any information to support "Base defense"

I have provided citations for both the offense and defense in the infobox. Patriarca12 (talk) 03:30, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

In April 2012 eight members of the 2011 squad were selected in the NFL Draft... → Put comma after "2012"

Done Patriarca12 (talk) 03:30, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Before the season

No issues

Personnel

The most notable departures from the previous year were defensive end Marcell Dareus; left tackle James Carpenter; tight end Preston Dial; quarterback Greg McElroy; wide receiver Julio Jones; and running back Mark Ingram, Jr.[22] → Commas should be put between names, not semicolons

Done Patriarca12 (talk) 03:30, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See also: American football positions, Glossary of American football, and Recruiting (college athletics) → Information not necessary for "See also"

Removed "See also" links Patriarca12 (talk) 03:30, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Schedule

No issues

Game notes

No issues

Rankings

Sources needed to verify all of the information in the table, week by week

I have provided an overall citation for the table at bottom that does link to all of the information provided for in the table. I feel this is the most appropriate way to handle this otherwise 49 separate citations would need to be added. Patriarca12 (talk) 03:30, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

After the season

No issues

References

Make sure you proofread this section, as this is the only major problem with this article. I went through the first twenty references, and here are the issues that I found:

Reference 2 → "Associated Press" and "ESPN.com" should be wiki-linked
Reference 3 → "Rivals.com" should be wiki-linked
Reference 4 → "Scout.com" should be wiki-linked
Reference 7 → "Sports Illustrated" should be wiki-linked
Reference 8 → Wiki-link "The Tuscaloosa News" and provide publisher
Reference 9 → Publisher of publication is needed
Reference 10 → Wiki-link "Knoxville News Sentinel" and provide publisher
Reference 11 → Wiki-link "National College Football Awards Association"
References 12, 15, 16, 18, 19 → Publisher is needed
Reference 14 → Wiki-link "Austin American-Statesman" and provide publisher
Reference 17 → Wiki-link "The Birmingham News"

Make sure you follow the guidelines of WP:REF when you proofread through these.

I have made the corrections as indicated above. I have also gone through the remainder of the article and added missing publisher information as well as adding wiki-links where appropriate. Patriarca12 (talk) 03:30, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

After thoroughly reviewing this article, I have decided to put the article on hold at this time. There are some minor prose issues, but the main issue of the article is the reference formatting errors. I will give you the general seven days to fix these mistakes and/or address issues you believe do not affect good article status. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Rp0211 ^(talk2me) 21:04, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe I have addressed all of the above concerns. If you have additional comments or do not feel your concerns have been addressed, please let me know. Thanks again for taking the time to review this as it is much appreciated. Roll Tide! Patriarca12 (talk) 03:30, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Since all of the issues have been addressed, I feel confident passing the article. Congratulations and keep up the good work! Rp0211 ^(talk2me) 05:08, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
