Green Bay Packers stubs need SIGCOV[edit]
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[edit]
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 | 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. M4V3R1CK32 (talk) 17:13, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
- @JackFromWisconsin: 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 | 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)
- @Huntertur: 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[edit]
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[edit]
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)
- @NintendoTTTEfan2005: 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[edit]
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 | contribs) 19:18, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks JackFromWisconsin, if you ever do find yourself nearby, let me know! :) « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 17:09, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
