Welcome to the WikiProject Green Bay Packers! This project was formed as a subproject of the NFL Project with the express goal to bring together Wikipedians who are interested in the Green Bay Packers. Even though there is a lot of information about the NFL on Wikipedia, there is so much more to do! This project is dedicated to expanding the most important part of the NFL, that of the Green Bay Packers, including the history, records, statistics, players, coaches, and any other subject that is related to America's greatest small-town team!

If you feel that you can help out in this project, please become a member by joining the list of members. If you don't know what to write or where to begin, or if you have doubts or ideas on how to improve an article, please address the project's discussion area.

Assessment

Assessing articles under the scope of the Green Bay Packers Wikiproject is needed to help organize and address the quality of Packers-related articles of Wikipedia. The resulting article ratings are used within the project to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work. The assessment is done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject Green Bay Packers}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Green Bay Packers articles by quality and Category:Green Bay Packers articles by importance. Please go to the WikiProject's assessment page and {{WikiProject Green Bay Packers}} template for more information on assessing Green Bay Packers-related articles.

Statistics

  • 0.4% List-Class
  • 33.7% Stub-Class
  • 52.2% Start-Class
  • 8% C-Class
  • 2.1% B-Class
  • 2.9% GA-Class
  • 0.7% FA-Class

After an article has been tagged with {{WikiProject Green Bay Packers}} and properly assessed, it will be categorized based on its assessment. A bot (User:WP 1.0 bot) will update the table below to show the number of articles by assessment within the WikiProject. Each statistic in the table is linked, so that a user can easily see articles within each individual assessment category, as well as a list of articles by class and importance (i.e. all B-Class, Top-Importance articles). The bot runs routinely, although any user can force it to update the table by telling it to run here. The table will take a few moments to update (refreshing your browser may speed this up).
