message: The detailed statistics seem confusing to someone familiar with today's football game. For example, in 1901, it seems that a touchdown was worth 5 points, in comparison with 6 points today. And some of the Extra points seem to be worth 1 or 2 points, with no explanation of whether it was a 1-point kick or 2-point play conversion. It is suggested that the article be improved by explaining (in detail if necessary) the differences between 1901 and today's game. Truthanado (talk) 00:37, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have added a key showing that, under 1901 rules, touchdowns were worth 5 points, extra points were worth 1 point, and field goals worth 5 points. Cbl62 (talk) 00:43, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

message: GA should be a breeze if the tables for each game were converted to prose, with starting lineups and box scores. Cake (talk) 15:23, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The 1901 article was written fairly early, before I had access to Detroit Free Press archives.  Before submitting for GA, I would want to overhaul the article with info from that newspaper. Cbl62 (talk) 15:59, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure, better sources can help too. Just commenting on structure. The scoring table at the end possibly renders the others unnecessary, and starters and box scores would be nice. Cake (talk) 16:01, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

text: I wonder if a link to hurry up offense is in order. Cake (talk) 16:06, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

text: And whether to link to the hurry up or the short punt formation for the scheme, and if to mention the short punt somewhere in the article. Cake (talk) 00:08, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

text: McGugin was a good punter, so Sweeley must have been something. Nothing about McGugin in the interference eh? The profile from the 1903 yearbook made it sound like there would be. Cake (talk) 00:22, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :1901 Michigan Wolverines football team's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 18:09, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
