List of Green Bay Packers general managers

 * Nominator(s): « Gonzo fan2007  (talk)  @ 17:38, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Following in the footsteps of the head coaches and presidents lists, I now have the general manager list for the Packers. I will pre-emptively state that this list wasn't the easiest, as there are multiple times in Packers' history where there was no GM, but obviously someone(s) still had the authority to act like a GM. This list is based off of what the Packers have established as their own list of GMs (see here and here). Happy to address any concerns or comments. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk)  @ 17:38, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

 * In 1923, a publicly-owned, non-profit organization called the Green Bay Football Corporation -- organization name should not be in italics
 * and serves as spokesperson -- should serve be in the past tense?
 * That's all from me. Great work. Pseud 14 (talk) 15:16, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Source review: Passed
 * Hey man im josh
 * Reliable enough for the information being cited
 * Consistent date formatting
 * Consistent and proper reference formatting
 * Appropriate wikilinks where applicable
 * Spot checks on 12 sources match what they are being cited for

Feedback:
 * Ref 7 – Is there any reason you used a hyphen instead of a vertical dash here, like the target uses?
 * Ref 8 – Change to cite magazine and change website to a blusher of Sports Illustrated
 * Ref 10 – I notice it's not like other references to the Green Bay Press-Gazette website, in that, it mentions USA Today beside the author's name. I understand they're owned by USA Today, but it's unclear to me whether USA Today should be listed as the agency in this instance. Any thoughts on that?
 * Ref 15 – Missing publisher
 * Could you add the and  templates to the top of the article under the short description? That way if more refs are added they'll be properly formatted (date wise).

That's all I've got, good stuff as always Gonzo, even if I hate the Packers! Hey man im josh (talk) 18:36, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * , all addressed. Regarding Ref 10, the difference is that the other GBPG articles are from Newspapers.com. I don't usually include USAToday in these types of refs, just too deep info when the newspaper and link is already included, imho. « Gonzo fan2007  (talk)  @ 18:49, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @Gonzo fan2007: Ref 16 as an example doesn't include that bit that ref 10 does. I agree and understand about not including the parent company, but I was wondering if 10 should be treated as re-posting a story from a wire service instead. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:54, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * , my understanding is that USA Today is not a wire service, so "agency=" wouldn't be appropriate. I could do "via=" if you really want, but just to note I haven't done that before. I think if there wasn't an author listed, I would probably agree with you. But I view this more as Todd McMahon writes for the whole network, not just the newspaper. The newspaper is just differentiating between an in-house newspaper sportswriter (like Richard Ryman). « Gonzo fan2007  (talk)  @ 18:58, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @Gonzo fan2007: No, I won't ask you to do "via=" here. I think I agree with your view that Todd McMahon writes for the whole network and that it's just differentiating.
