List of Green Bay Packers first-round draft picks[edit]

This list "useful, comprehensive, factually accurate, stable, uncontroversial and well-constructed," has a good lead, and a free and useful image.(No longer used) This list was created using the basis from prior lists from Category:Lists of first-round draft picks by NFL team. This list is the longest of any list created like itself, properly sourced, and very thorough. Thus I think it deserves FL status. I can and will address any concerns or comments. Thank you for your time. Please note this is a self-nom

I'm not sure if the other similar lists do this, but perhaps you could use colour coding to note which players still play for the Packers? -- Scorpion0422 00:18, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
They don't but do you mean currently active players that are still on the team? If so then there are only 5 players on the list who qualify, so it would be pretty easy to implement with a color box like the ones used to show HoFs and overall #1 picks.

See the articles history, I implemented what you suggested and reverted my changes. Tell me what you think (Oh and the color can be about anything if this one doesnt suit).

It looks good. I have no further quolms. -- Scorpion0422 03:17, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support This nomination caught my eye when I promoted it to the main page in the DYK section. My only comment is to consider adding another color (especially a different shade of yellow like a lighter yellow) for players in the Packers Hall of Fame.

 Done although I chose blue cause yellow just looked weird :-)

  • Comments. First off, great work! I too saw it on DYK. I'll likely support, but I have a question: What is n-c-systems.com, and what makes it a reliable source? --Fang Aili talk 03:40, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Here is an overview of what N-C-systems does when it refers to drafts. They have worked on completing full draft histories for basketball, football, baseball, and hockey. It seems that they are a software company, and it seemed to be an experiment on completing the draft history of basketball, and the site was well-received, so they decided to expand it. When compared with the official draft history found at NFL.com, I have yet to find a mistake. The site is sourced on most if not all of the articles pertaining to the first-round picks for each team. Here is their home-page, which has a link for contacting them if you feel like confirming their respectability. So combined with the good-standing of the company, the use of the site as a source on other pages on Wikipedia (precedence), and the fact that I have yet to find a flaw in any of their info, I believe this is a very solid source to cite. Hope this answers your question, feel free to elaborate if you I haven't answered it.

I believe that satisfies WP:RS ("reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy"). Thanks for the explanation. --Fang Aili talk 14:54, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Only possible improvement I can think of is adding a picture or two. --Fang Aili talk 14:53, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah Ive been looking for one, but me being in Arizona, it is difficult to get a picture of anything in Wisconsin, I will try though, hopefully the Packers will come to AZ next year and I can grab some photos. Thanks for the comments!

I got one [1] of Nick Barnett. I'm not at home, so I can't do photo editing at this time. Give me 12 to 24 hours. If you ask a few flickr people, you are bound to quickly find a decent (but not professional) photo after trying a few people. Royalbroil 20:39, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
AWESOME!! Thanks, I actually havent tried Flickr, but thanks for the work!! Thats a great addition!

The Barnett image has been added. Please resize/relabel as needed. The same source also relicensed an image of A. J. Hawk to a free image, so it might be added by the time your read this. Royalbroil 02:59, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
