[edit] 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.

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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!!
Gonzo fan2007 talk ♦ contribs 18:02, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I can help you bud. i can look for all kinds of pics and some info about his early life. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pookeo9 (talk • contribs) 18:27, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

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.
Gonzo fan2007 talk ♦ contribs 18:49, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
I Found another link of A.J Hawk's stats with the Ohio State Buckeyes. [9]--Pookeo9 19:52, 19 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pookeo9 (talk • contribs)

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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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. If you have any comments on this, feel free to ask. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 21:44, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article deletion

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)

[edit] 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)

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)
Green Bay Packers cheerleaders. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 05:12, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
It looks good! Royalbroil 05:18, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, and I forgot to thank you for the Flickr tip. I dont know if you noticed but I uploaded a bunch of those Packers players photos, and it led me to find the cheerleading pic! So thanks again! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) 05:36, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Something of interest...

Perhaps you could use this for something, fit it into an article, or add it to a newsletter. Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 21:55, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Hahahaha, wow and I thought I was a Favre fan!! That's quite a story... « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 22:22, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
