This is the culmination of many years of work bringing all the Packers president articles up to WP:GA quality (only missing John Jones and this FLC to round out a featured topic). The Packers have a unique ownership structure unlike any NFL team. They are led by a Board of Directors, with the president being elected and acting as a team owner. In the 100+ year history of the team, there have been 11 of these presidents. Thank you for your time reviewing. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 22:58, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment
  • Image caption should be "Mark Murphy, the Packers' current president"
  • "which mandate no more than 25 people can" => "which mandate that no more than 25 people can"
  • "the Packers ownership structure was grandfathered" => "the Packers' ownership structure was grandfathered"
  • "They represent the organization on NFL committees [...] and generally appears" - subject changes from plural to singular mid-sentence
  • "Eight of the eleven presidents have been" => "Eight of the eleven presidents had been"
  • "prior to their tenure and include" => "prior to their tenure; these include"
  • "The Packers first president," => "The Packers' first president,"
  • That's what I got :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:43, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • after a public offering of stock raised $5,000. - link stock, as I'm not entirely sure what this means; I'd assume company stock, but I'm no sports aficionado
  • after it was in receivership for a number of years - what number of years?
  • I feel like the first para of the lead would be better split into two, the first going up until It was later reorganized into its current form, known as the Green Bay Packers, Inc., in 1935 after it was in receivership for a number of years and the second starting with The executive committee, which is elected from the board members, includes three members at-large, a secretary, treasurer, vice president, and president; the first section introduced the subject and details the Packers' history, and the second details the role of the president- your choice to implement, though
  • The "Refs" column does not need to be divided into multiple cells, since they all use the same citation; see the Emmys section of List of awards and nominations received by Last Week Tonight with John Oliver for example
  • Ref 2's title does not need the site directory; just the title of the page ("Birth of a Team & a Legend") is satisfactory
  • Some citations to Packers.com list the website as "Packers.com" or as "Green Bay Packers, Inc."; choose one and make them all the same for consistency

Gonzo_fan2007, all done, great work! MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 00:14, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey man im josh
  • Is there a standard for whether we should list 2008–Present or 2008–present in lists like these? Maybe it's because of all the player infoboxes I look at, but seeing it capitalized caught my eye.
  • Note: Team records accurate as of the end of Week 8 of the 2023 NFL season – Week should be lowercased, as it's not a proper name. Should also be a period at the end of the sentence.
    @Gonzo fan2007: I understand that some sources do capitalize "week" when referring to the weeks of the NFL season, but I also recognize that the media that covers the NFL is inconsistent on this. I also feel it relevant to mention that just because some people do capitalize it, it does not necessarily make it a proper name. With that said, I'm not going to fight for it to be lowercased because I'm not sure we've actually come to a consensus on this issue at WP:NFL. It may be worth discussing at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters at some point just to get some consistency in the mix. Heck, even the season articles, such as 2023 NFL season, aren't consistent on it. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:25, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I'll bring it up at WT:NFL. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 17:26, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • References all look good, in that the formatting is consistent and the sources are appropriately reliable for the information being referenced.
  • Image licensing looks good
  • Image has appropriate alt text

Reference and image check passed. Great job Gonzo_fan2007, even if you are a Packers fan! Hey man im josh (talk) 17:08, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
