Seattle portion of Ted Thompson's Wiki page

I take exception with whomever posted that Thompson drafted all those notable Seattle draft picks, like Shawn Alexander. He was in charge of Pro Player acquisitions, and wouldn't have been scouting. Holmgren and Wolf were known for disregarding his opinions on draft matters in Green Bay, so I find it hard to believe Holmgren suddenly felt Thompson was his go-to guy in the draft in Seattle.
This was a guy who didn't want Wolf to trade for Favre or Keith Jackson, two very important parts of the 1996 Super Bowl XXXI team.
I'm sorry, but unless someone has something a little better than a puff piece from the Packers official web site - which has been known to tell a whopper or two in it's time, I cannot see how this stuff passes the sniff test and remains in his Wiki bio at Ted Thompson without at least SOME citation or verification. It may as well be an except from Grimm's fairy Tales for all the credibility it carries and whomever wrote it up in the first place doesn't strike me as all that knowledgeable about front office jobs in the NFL. IdioT.SavanT.i4 (talk) 10:59, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

• • Nobody objected or responded to my comment about a lack of verification for Thompson having any input in drafting players in Seattle. I left a comment to that end, waited a week, and have now deleted those parts of the Seattle portion stating Thompson had responsibility for drafting certain players. So long as someone can cite a verifiable source - as REQUIRED under the living persons biography Wiki rules - I will not challenge it further, but until such time as it conforms to the rules here, it is gone.

WikiProject Wisconsin

Should there be any relationship between this subproject and WikiProject Wisconsin? What are the established precedents? Royalbroil 02:33, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

No clue, technically this is a sub-project of the NFL Wikiproject, just like the Vikings, Bears, Browns, etc. I wouldn't mind a connection with Wisconsin, cause that could only lead to more participants here. I don't know of any precedent, but if you want to propose something to Wisconsin, then thats fine with me. I would back any connection there.

Starting Quarterbacks Template

I started the {{PackersQuarterbacks}} template, although the list is not complete. Many historical players were simply listed as "backs" so I'm not sure what position they actually played. Also, "starts" were not tracked so it's harder to find out if they were starting QBs. Please update if you have more information. Larkworb (talk) 20:14, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

From what I've have heard from the creator of the Pats starting QB template creator, this template isnt for every starting QB, just the main one from each season. So what he did was go through and see who the leading passer was in each season and add the name. I looked at it pretty quick and it looks good. Good job!
Gonzo fan2007 ^{talk ♦ contribs} 20:27, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

I added the other QBs who have been season leaders is the passing department and added the template to each QB's page. There is one QB who doesnt have a page, Jug Girard so if anyone feels like making a stub, that would be great. If no one does it I will make it in a day or so.

A.J. Hawk

Does anybody want to help me expand the AJ Hawk article? RC-0722 (talk) 14:40, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I can help find sources and maybe some pics. I already have a bunch on my plate these comings weeks, but I could also do a peer review or help out in defined areas. I'll start looking for some sources and see if I can find some pics. Tell me what your plan is and what you need me to do!!

Here's a list of sources I found:

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] Combined with the other sources on the page, I think this is a good base of information to start expanding the article.

Also I found a video of A.J Hawks selection in the 2006 nfl draft. [10]Pookeo9

Great! We need to rename a few things (e.g. pro summary into NFL records), merge the personal life section into actual sentences, add references, and consider rewording (I wood do it all myself but I'm very busy this weekend). RC-0722 (talk) 06:01, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Dont worry RC i could do some of the rewording and add references.--Pookeo9 (talk) 12:38, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

• • Hawk will be coming up on some Packers milestones over the next couple years. Foremost is the number of total tackles by a Packers LB. When Nick Barnett left GB for Free Agency, he was spoken of as very close to claiming the GB number of tackles by a LB record. (787 or 788 after his 8th season- depending on which source you believe.) Hawk is currently at 713 or 714 - again depending on which source you believe - after 7 seasons and should surpass Barnett in 2013. The reason I question sourcing is because I downloaded the updated 2012 Green Bay Packers record book and found it to be partially a work of fiction & not to be trusted as a legitimate source of Packers team records. I'm sure most of the entries are probably true but there are enough incorrect records listed to make the entire official Packers PDF copy of the team's records suspect. EXAMPLE: Nick Barnett is listed as holding the single season total tackles record with 194. This is simply not true according to every other source, including NFL.com. The best he ever did with the Packers was 138 in a single season (2005). Be VERY cautious about citing the official Packers record book for stuff. It's not what I consider a reliable source - even if it is an accepted standard for inclusion as a Wikipedia source by most any definition set forth here.

Green Bay Packers Seasons

I've expanded the artical on the '1919 Green Bay Packers season'. I'd also like to expand the other Packers seasons articals and get them up to starter quality. Hopefully, this will provide the resources to get the 'History of the Green Bay Packers' article to A or even Featured status. --James Fahringer (talk) 04:17, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Images

I found 73 images of the NFL's greatest team during warmups for the Oct. 2007 Bears game from Ryan Grant's article, and here they are. I added an image to Deanna Favre's article. There are many more images that could be cropped out. Go, Pack, Go! Royalbroil 01:29, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

That's a great find Royalbroil, thanks!! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 08:34, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Proposal

I currently have a proposal at User_talk:SatyrBot/WikiProject_new_pages#Request_for_WikiProject_Green_Bay_Packers which would have a Bot automatically go through our categories and check for newly created articles that arent tagged with our project banner and place the pages in Wikipedia:WikiProject Green Bay Packers/No banner.

Note that Snow Bowl (Green Bay) has been nominated for deletion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Snow Bowl (Green Bay). I have left my comment and you are invited to express your thoughts. Royalbroil 18:38, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for notifying the project, Royalbroil. I still wish I saw your user name under our members list ;-) « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 19:43, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm already in five WikiProjects plus adminship, so my plate is full. I am certainly a friend of the WikiProject. I occasionally go to Green Bay, so let me know if a picture of a public place is needed. Also let me know when you need a peer review on an article. Royalbroil 03:40, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

It's ok Rb, you're probably more active in the project than most members :P And thanks for the offer, I'll probably take you up on it one these days! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 04:09, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Collaboration

Are you interested in doing a collaboration to creating a WP:DYK article on the Green Bay Packerettes? We could create it in a temporary subpage under this WikiProject and move it to mainspace after it's done. Royalbroil 01:04, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah sure! Wikipedia:WikiProject Green Bay Packers/Green Bay Packerettes. I'll start looking for some sources, pictures, etc. What are your plans for the article? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 04:28, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

My mind is an empty slate, maybe their history to start. I know there are several articles written about them in the Green Bay Press Gazette. I would expect some in The Post Crescent. Royalbroil 05:48, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

(←)Hey Royalbroil, what do you think about expanding the article to cover all of the previous cheer squads for the Packers? From all that I have read there is a rich history about all the past cheer squads, and I think it could be a great article over the whole subject. I'm going to hit the library either today or tomorrow and see if I can hunt down a book or two and maybe some other sources. I'll put a couple sources on the talk page that I found about the cheerleaders. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 17:37, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey, ROYALBROIL and GONZO_FAN, I am a former Packers Cheerleader and wonder how I can help with this project. sideliner84@gmail.com --Sideliner84 (talk) 04:40, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

I came here to suggest the same thing! Royalbroil 17:40, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

What should we name the article? Royalbroil 01:14, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Green Bay Packers cheerleaders? Sounds good enough for me. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 02:16, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Very good - it's concise. Might anyone every want to use this as a singular so that it should be Green Bay Packers cheerleader? I don't see how the Hornung HOF page cites why the cheerleading team was called the "Golden Girls", it just says that he was the "Golden Boy". Royalbroil 02:45, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Wow, totally read the citation template and sentence wrong, I reverted the changes. I proposed Green Bay Packers cheerleaders based on Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 02:53, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

(←)Oh and I am going to hit my school's library tomorrow, and the county library on friday, so hopefully I can find some good info. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 02:58, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Ok, the Dallas Cowbabes are a good precedent (besides being good to look at even though they consistently cheer for the wrong team). I don't think that I have any more information. Too bad that the information in the deadlinks aren't available anymore. I checked the Internet Archive (archive.org) too. I added them to the List of NFL cheerleaders article back in September 2007. I dont' plan to go to the library, so hopefully you'll find something. Royalbroil 03:51, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

I lied. Ok, I changed my mind. I stopped at 2 small city libraries since I drove past them yesterday. Neither had any books that would work as a reference on the topic. Lots of Packer statistics and biographies, but no cheerleaders. Royalbroil 12:21, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

I expanded the article a bit, although I wasnt able to find any other sources from the library. If you want to go through and give it a copyedit and finish/remove the notes you placed, I think we can start writing a good hook for the DYK. Let me know what you think. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 09:29, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

(←)I'm not willing to suggest the article for DYK with large gaps like that. Either we should wait until we find sources to flesh out a few sentences about the 1970s Packerettes and the Sideliners, or we move it to mainspace and forget about DYK. I vote we move it to mainspace. Too bad those references are inaccessible! Royalbroil 13:06, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

I moved it. Feel free to make any changes you feel would help the article. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 05:12, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Changes to the WP:1.0 assessment scheme

As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.

• The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
• The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
• A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.

Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.

Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme! For the 1.0 Editorial Team, §hepBot (Disable) 21:47, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

What reason does this project have for not using the C-class article quality rating? C-class has existed for more than two years now, and even Vince Lombardi's article is rated as such. This project must incorporate C-class into its rating system. – PeeJay 15:38, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Articles flagged for cleanup

Currently, 1149 articles are assigned to this project, of which 126, or 11.0%, are flagged for cleanup of some sort. (Data as of 14 July 2008.) Are you interested in finding out more? I am offering to generate cleanup to-do lists on a project or work group level. See User:B. Wolterding/Cleanup listings for details. More than 150 projects and work groups have already subscribed, and adding a subscription for yours is easy - just place the following template on your project page:

• • I have a friend who attends training camps in Green Bay and takes a TON of photos while he's there. He posts them on his account at photobucket and since he owns them, I'm sure any of the authors for ANY of the Green Bay Packers articles on players or the team could contact him and request permission to use any of the photos. He's quite nice that way. He sent me a complete set last year. For permission to use his Packers photos here, contact >> GIMPYBUTT on the scout.com PackerReport forum.<< (Click for linky.) Site registration is required, due to trolls, but it's free and very simple access. Once on the site, simply PM Gimpybutt. He's a moderator there.

Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Green Bay Packers

Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.

A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

Coordinators' working group

Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.

All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group.

Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

Green Bay Packers articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Green Bay Packers articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

I actually came by to ask this same question.

Any update on this WikiProject concerning the assessment scale? — ξ^xplicit 06:26, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

I don't think this WikiProject is active at all. Gonzo isn't active and he's the one who protected it. I'm not a member but think C-Class should be active. What really should happen is this WikiProject should be closed. Royalbroil 12:08, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

SS Mariposa sails from LA to Honolulu on Dec 25, 1932 with several Green Bay Packer football players

Hello,

My grandfather, Roger Grove, a professional football player for the Green Bay Packers, sailed on the Mariposa on Dec 25, 1932 for an exhibition game in Hawaii. It was common practice in those days to play exhibition games in addition to the regular football schedule. I have a partial passenger list which was retrieved from Ancestry.com. On this list are several Green Bay Packer players: Henry "Hank" Bruder, Lavern "Lavvie" Dilweg, Wuert Englemann, Milton "Milt" Gantenbein, Roger Grove, Arnold "Arnie" Herber, William "Clarke" Hinkle, Earl "Curly" Lambeau, John "Johnny Blood" McNally, August "Mike" Michalske.

This WikiProject is quite inactive. I oppose any redirects except if it become quite active. Who would be using the redirects? Royalbroil 03:02, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Revival

I think it's time that we try to revive this Wikiproject, I was completely astonished by how many stubs (1 or 2 sentences maximum), there are about Packers rookies and even veterans and have been slowly been working them up to DYK status, and am waiting on a peer review of Aaron Rodgers. I know there are other editors who would like to help Packers related articles, so whose interested in trying to revive this project?--SKATER ^{T a l k} 02:49, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject X is live!

Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Blake Martinez

I have begun expanding Blake Martinez to get it up to DYK status. When I get off work I will finish his junior year and Senior sections, add his draft scouting section as well as some miscellaneus information. If someone has the time and would mind copy editing, peer reviewing and just keeping an eye on it it would be appreciated. Im still trying to get back in to the swing of things.--Church ^Talk 20:50, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

@Church: I have added it to my watchlist and will review/copyedit it this weekend! Thanks! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 21:19, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

@Church: I did a copyedit and expansion and Lizard the Wizard did a few edits. Please feel free to edit or expand my additions as you see fit. Nice work on the article, keep on going! :) « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 04:27, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

Nicely done guys! We're not at 5x expansion and not even done. I'm going to begin work on finishing his college career now.--Church ^Talk 15:18, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

I think we're about ready to go, would you all mind giving it one more look over? I'll transclude it tonight.--Church ^Talk 16:20, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

Looks good and nice work guys! Go for it! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 18:38, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

It's up and awaiting review. Thank all of you for your help. It's a lot more fun doing this with multiple people. --Church ^Talk 06:04, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
