Green Bay Packers stubs need SIGCOV
We've begun a campaign to clean up football stubs that lack WP:SIGCOV as required by WP:SPORTBASIC #5. A big chunk of the deficient articles are for individuals who played for the Green Bay Packers. I am hoping that Wisconsin project members are familiar with sources that can be used to dig up SIGCOV and might be willing to help improve these Wisconsin-related articles. We've also set up a talk page here for any questions or comments you may have. Set forth below is the list of Wisconsin-related articles we hope to improve. Any help is appreciated.

2023 Stub project
I've been working on going through all of our stubs and reassessing them (if they meet higher criteria) and/or improving a few things. If anyone else is interested in helping, feel free! I think we can meet the (new) goal of 70% of our articles being start-class or better.

I saw that @M4V3R1CK32 is working on this too. And I also see above that the Packers WP is doing something similar. JackFromWisconsin (talk &#124; contribs) 17:05, 21 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Yes, please join in! Stub sorting for this project is something I started more than 6 months ago, going in alphabetical order, so there are likely many stubs that have been added to the letters I've already checked. The last one I looked at was Price, Jackson County, Wisconsin; I think that's roughly 75% of stubs sorted, but would welcome the help as I've been swamped with real-world responsibilites of late.

 * I went through every single one of the Wisconsin stubs and reassessed as appropriate 6-7 months ago back in February and March. There was quite a significant amount that I could reassess at the time to the point that it lowered the project's omega from 5.43 to its current 5.29. -- Dolotta (talk) 17:16, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
 * That's awesome to hear!
 * Currently I've been going through the Category:Wisconsin_stubs and finding a number of articles with better assessment but article-side stub tag remained. So that part has been fairly easy.
 * I've also added sources, marked deadlinks, and tried to resolve some maintenance tags. There are so many articles out there with easily google-able sources that just aren't included. JackFromWisconsin (talk &#124; contribs) 17:26, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Good idea! I had used AWB myself to get rid of all of the stub templates in the Wisconsin start class category after I had finished reassessing all of the stubs. Dolotta (talk) 17:30, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot for helping with this -- do you have any thoughts on the feasibility of us reassessing all the Start-class articles too? There's a good number of them that were last assessed over a decade ago. I'm thinking about starting to take a crack at this, but it's a little hard to tell the difference between what should stay Start-class and what should become C-class at times. huntertur (talk) 19:28, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Good idea! I started on it over the past few months here and there, getting through the numbers and part of the A's but burning out. From what I've done so far, a relatively small number of Starts needed reassessment compared to the stubs. In fact, I had reassessed downward a couple one line start classes that had been given a rosy initial assessment by its creator. -- Dolotta (talk) 14:04, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Factual errors & corrections
I don't see a place for queries about errors, such as the reported 2000 population of Sun Prairie City (23,008), which is obviously inconsistent with the reported 2010 population & 2000 number of households. Pjirving (talk) 20:33, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
 * What is the problem? WI 2000 Census page 1887 has Sun Prairie City, Total Population 20,369, Total households 7,881. WI 2010 says 29,364 +44.16% That seems to match Sun Prairie, Wisconsin article. --Dual Freq (talk) 22:39, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

Unincorporated areas
Are there any unincorporated communities that anyone thinks shouldn't just be redirects? Like I was thinking that maybe Johnsonville, Wisconsin should be its own page instead of just a redirect. But I am unsure if it should have its own page just because it is the birthplace of a big sausage company. NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 07:02, 14 November 2023 (UTC)


 * If you have enough information to make it into at least a decent stub, by all means revert my redirect. I redirected most of the one line stubs to the town it was located this past spring, figuring it is pretty easy to remove. -- Dolotta (talk) 14:11, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok, that will do. But do you think Tibbets, Wisconsin should be a redirect? NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 19:29, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Photos of Green Bay sites for Packers Heritage Trail
Hi all, I am working on bringing Packers Heritage Trail to WP:FLC. I recently traveled as part of a longer work trip to Green Bay last week, with the goal of getting photos of each historic site along the trail. However, unfortunately it rained pretty much the whole day I was in Green Bay. I was able to get a few photos but the rain and my tight schedule meant I missed out on a good number. I was wondering if there were any Green Bay residents in this Project who would be up for grabbing a few photos for me? If so, I would greatly appreciate it! Please let me know, even if you can only grab a few, and I can kind of explain what the photos for each site could look like. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 17:23, 23 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I don't live near Green Bay, so unfortunately won't be of much help. But I wish you good luck with bringing this to FLC! It's awesome to see more Green and Gold Featured Articles. JackFromWisconsin (talk &#124; contribs) 19:18, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, if you ever do find yourself nearby, let me know! :) « Gonzo fan2007 (talk)  @ 17:09, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
