One major part of a WikiProject is knowing what is going on within the Project and the articles in the scope of the Project. This is the main goal of the Newsletter Department. The newsletter runs every two weeks and will include information about the Project, including new tasks, Collaboration news, and basic news about the articles. All project members will automatically receive the newsletter; if you would simply like a notification, or would like no newsletter at all, please add your name to the list below.
[edit] Just notification
Note: You will get a simple message on your talk page saying that the newsletter has arrived. If you would like this, add your name to this list.
[edit] Do not deliver to me
Note: Originally, you would need to manually opt in for the newsletter. The status has been changed so that you will receive the newsletter and you can manually opt out. If you would not like any newsletter at all, add your name to this list.
[edit] Newsroom
This is the area for writing the newsletter. The current issue (the issue that has last been delivered) and the next issue are shown. Issues are made for two-week periods and volumes are a group of 12 issues (every six months is a new volume). Please follow this system and name the new newsletters like so: [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Green Bay Packers/Newsletter/DATE OF ISSUE]]

- Welcome!
Welcome to the Green Bay Packers WikiProject. As you should know, we are a group dedicated to making the Green bay Packers not only the best team in the NFL, but also the best covered on Wikipedia. This is a great way to show your support for America's best small-town team. Right now, we are working on creating a solid base for the WikiProject, so that we will be able to easily coordinate our efforts to succeed in our main goal, expand the articles! Nothing is set in stone, and all users are on an equal footing, so comments, suggestions, concerns, and being BOLD is welcome! Please come take a look at the project page, and become part of our community. If you feel you can help out in coordinating certain parts of the project, or have some new ideas, please let us know!
- Article news
- Collaboration
- The Green Bay Packers Wikiproject has three specific collaboration efforts, and one open collaboration effort:
- Nominated Collaborations- As with most WikiProjects, we have an area for members to nominate articles that need attention.
- Featured and Good Content Collaboration- The Project also has a specific area for members to receive help with building an article up to GA-Class, FA-Class, or FL-Class. Every B-Class article within the scope of the project has been identified as a candidate for the area of collaboration. Nominations of new articles or of lower-class articles are also welcome in this area.
- Stub Collaboration- One major key to this Project is to make sure that no top-importance and ultimately high-importance article is a stub. This area of collaboration is for members to work on de-stubbing important articles within the project's scope. As with the other collaboration efforts, this area is open to member nominations.
- Special Collaboration- This last area is for special collaboration efforts. This area will not always be in use, but is usually used for collaboration efforts that focus on adding certain aspects to every page. Currently, the special collaboration is focused on adding an appropriate Infobox to every article that requires one. Hopefully, we will be able to get the services of a bot to automatically search our categories and create a list here, which will allow members to add the appropriate infobox to each article.
- Assessment
- Please assess any articles found in Cat:Unknown-importance Green Bay Packers articles or Cat:Unassessed-Class Green Bay Packers articles!
- Currently, the project will employ the work of a bot, SatyrBot, to help the project tag new article with our project banner. Every two weeks, the bot will search every article in each Green Bay Packers category, and any article found to be in the category without a project tag will be listed here. Any article on this page should be tagged with our banner, making sure to assess the article by class and importance.
- A worklist showing each article under the project's scope by class and importance can be found here, with a log of changes of assessments found here, and the project's statistics can be found here.
- Members
- Currently the project has 32 members, vastly more than any other NFL team project. A full list of our members can be found here.
- The project coordinator is Gonzo fan2007. Any questions, comments, or concerns about the project or Wikipedia in general can be addressed to the Project's talk page or Gonzo fan's talk page.
- Please invite new members by either using a personal message, or {{InvitePackersProject}}. If new members join, please welcome them with {{WelcomePackersProject}} while also giving them a personal welcome.
