"After the game John Mara expressed his sincere gratitude by stating simply "God bless Abe Cohen." " Google results with the phrase in quotes yields zero results that aren't derived from Wikipedia. Quadzilla99 15:13, 14 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

The Giants of New York, Barry Gottehrer, G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, NY, 1963 p. 123: Abe Cohen did not go unrecognized. Along with Morgan, Strong, and Danowski, the little tailor had saved the day and brought New York its first National Football League playoff championship. Len Grant summed it up best when he said, "God bless Abe Cohen." Revmoran 23:57, 21 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Great work, it's back in with the appropriate source. Quadzilla99 10:22, 22 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

GA review

I made a few edits, but very little had to be done. This is an exceptional piece of work, easily a good article. Might need a strong copyedit due to the sheer quantity of text. Well done; I threw in the {{ArticleHistory}} because I'm sure we'll be seeing more of this article. PhoenixTwo 02:49, 31 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the review! Quadzilla99 03:41, 31 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for File:1927Giants.jpg

Latest comment: 17 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
 

File:1927Giants.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Early History

Latest comment: 16 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Can we really say that the Giants were one of the first teams in the NFL? There were 30+ teams before them - Akron Pros, Buffalo All-Americans, Buffalo Bisons, Canton Bulldogs, Chicago Bears, Chicago Cardinals, Chicago Tigers, Cincinnati Celts, Cleveland Bulldogs, Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Tigers, Columbus Panhandles, Columbus Tigers, Dayton Triangles, Detroit Heralds, Duluth Kelleys, Evansville Crimson Giants, Frankford Yellow Jackets, Green Bay Packers, Hammond Pros, Hammond Pros, Kansas City Blues, Kenosha Maroons, Louisville Brecks, Milwaukee Badgers, Minneapolis Marines, Muncie Flyers, New York Brickley's Giants, Oorang Indians, Racine Legion, Rochester Jeffersons, Rock Island Independents, St. Louis All-Stars, Toledo Maroons, Tonawanda Kardex, and the Washington Senators.

Also I'd like to put a link to an article I've written about Harry March

I know people have put a lot of work into this article so I'm floating this idea before I edit. Revmoran (talk) 01:25, 6 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

The image File:Miracle at the meadowlands.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
  • That this article is linked to from the image description page.

GA Reassessment

edit
Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion
This discussion is transcluded from Talk:History of the New York Giants/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

  This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed, listed below. I will check back in seven days. If these issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far.

GA review (see here for criteria):

The problems with this article can be easily summarised:

  • 2007: No references. Also, this section is far to long, which gives the impression of presentism. Particularly since there is already a subarticle, this needs to be trimmed.
  • 2008: Ok, but no references.
  • 2009: Non-existent.

Also, there are at least ten dead links: [1]. Lampman (talk) 15:03, 15 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Since no improvements have been made to the article over the last week, I will now delist it. These are relatively easy fixes though, if anybody updates the article, please contact me and I'd be happy to give it a new GA review. Lampman (talk) 10:27, 22 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Ok, this is another that article atrophied while I was gone but I think I restored it to GA status. Let's see how it goes. Quadzilla99 (talk) 11:55, 6 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Picture Question

Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The Lynn Bomar article includes this picture of the Giants v. Yellow Jackets game in 1925. I believe the striped socks are the Giants, meaning that 21 is Thorpe. Any way to tell if the 7 on the ground is Bomar? Cake (talk) 21:13, 14 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
