Talk:Dolphins–Jets rivalry

message: I'm gonna try to do what I can in the next few weeks to get this article fixed up. It has the potential to be really good, but there's too much unencyclopedic tone, and some parts read more like a collection of recaps of any even slightly notable game. I mean, I think the 60's and 70's sections could be condensed into one short section since the teams weren't really major rivals back then; the Dolphins were still building their team and were pre-Shula in the 60's, and the Jets became an also-ran in the 70's once Namath became injury-prone. But it would great to see this article improved to good or even featured status, and there is definitely a lot to go on in the article currently.--Highway99 06:04, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I reverted your edits and posted the reasons why on your talk page. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one enthusiatic about improving this article, but the text you're adding turns the article into fancruft, which is not what's standard for an encyclopedia.--Highway99 07:54, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

text: First of all, the history section shouldn't be changed into a list of memorable games or moments. There's nothing wrong with the format of the section, so you don't need to make a wholesale change to it. Second, if you want to add a memorable games section, don't include half the games ever played between them. In my opinion, I think the only games that should absolutely be included in such a section are the '82 AFC championship, the two games in '86, the Fake Spike, the Monday Night Miracle, and probably the season finale in '91. And if do decide to rewrite some of the statements, don't get rid of the citations appending them. It seems like you just copy and pasted the text on the page, and that inadvertently got rid of the reference links at the end of sentences. Heck, the biggest thing this article is lacking is references, so that should really be one of the top priorities for this article.--Highway99 02:34, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
