- The following is an archived discussion of a featured list nomination. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the article's talk page or in Wikipedia talk:Featured list candidates. No further edits should be made to this page.
The list was promoted 00:53, 7 January 2008.
I completely rewrote and reformatted the table on this page, adding some new information and making the list a little easier to read and more pleasing to the eye. I reluctantly based the rewrite after Chicago Bears seasons, a WP:FL. Although I believe this list meets all the criteria, any comments or suggestions are very welcome. Thanks.

Comments Why did you add NOEDITSECTION to the article? I think the sections should be edited. I'd like the table to be in a separate section and be edited separately, as well. Plus, in the total part in the table, why are the 1st and 3rd rows in italics, but not the 2nd?--Crzycheetah 00:08, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The NOEDITSECTION was in the Chicago Bears seasons, so I just brought it over. I have no clue why it is there so I got rid of it, the sections are now editable.
- I did not add a section heading to the table for a couple reasons. First, the only title that I could think of would be "Green Bay Packers seasons" or some variant of that which is repetitive to the first heading (the title is considered the first heading in an article). Secondly, I could understand if there was a lot of prose above and below the table, which would make it easier to just click on a heading when you want to just edit the table, but the only prose is a couple short paragraphs above the table, which doesn't make it that hard to find when editing. I inserted a couple hidden comments to clearly mark where the start of the tables are. If you have a different reason then ease of editing for having a section heading, please feel free to explain farther, I'm sure we can find a solution.
- I actually made it so that the section with the table is editable by using the template {{Editsection}}. I think this should work for what you were looking for.

- Again the formatting was like this in the Bears seasons, but I think it is to show that they are actively changing. Since it is the regular season, the regular season and total results will change each week. So I guess then when the Packers go into the playoffs that the regular season results will go back to regular font, while the playoff and total results will be italicized, and after the season is over, all the print will go back to regular until the 2008 season starts up. Thats just what I think though, there could be another reason.
- Hope this addresses your questions.

- Thanks. I don't understand the purpose of the {{editsection}} template, so I reverted your addition. Whenever I clicked on the "edit" link, it opened the whole article so there was no purpose having it. Regarding the italics, I think there should be a note explaining why those numbers are in italics. Also, I'd like to know what you think about my last edit. I just added an extra empty row in order to make the line above the "totals" bold.--Crzycheetah 03:19, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah the editsection didnt do what i thought it would. I liked what you did and actually did it to the others so that the formatting is consistent. What do you think of it now?
Gonzo fan2007 talk ♦ contribs 03:29, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply] - Oh and I added a note about the italicization at the top of the table.

- Support looks comparable to other FL NFL seasons, great work Gonzo! CameronCrazie56 (talk) 00:13, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support looks great, not only am I supporting this list for such great work but Gonzo helped me with my FL nomination. I know how much work you have to put into these types of pages and this list deserves to be recognized. HoosierState 23:10, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
