• I'm not sure you should be using an em-dash here, rather it ought to be an en-dash. Indeed, later in the lead you have " the East-West rivalry" hyphenated...

Page renamed.

• " 62–49–3," this could use some "hover over" text or similar for those who aren't aware this means W-L-T.

Added. Now signifies East wins/West wins/ties.

• "played in the East-West rivalry" is this an ENGVAR thing when you say a coach "played" in the rivalry?

I have updated this so it is more clear that Lambeau was in the rivalry as a player but later inducted to the HOF as a coach.

• "Milwaukee Journal Sentinel " should be in italics.

Done.

• "on November 30, 1905 at" comma after 1905.

Done.

• The lead says it was played annually since 1905 but there's no sign of a 1906 edition.

The article notes that the district cancelled the 1906 game only to reverse the decision. Added to lead.

• Should the table of results have a footnote relating to the uncertainty over the score of the 1905 match?

Sure, if you feel it should, but I'm not sure how to add it via source editor.

• " to win 7 straight" seven.

Fixed.

• " Despite fears of the series.... " too many run-on clauses here.

Fixed.

• Where is the Spanish flu fears/cancellations referenced?

Ref added.

• " Green Bay Press-Gazette" italics.

Fixed.

• " seven of the next 16" seven/sixteen or 7/16.

Fixed.

• " citing near-zero " which temperature scale?

Added.

• It's a shame attendance isn't included in the overall table of results.

I agree. It's not in the source, however.

• "—East against Preble and West against Southwest--" looks like an em-dash and two hyphens. Suggest you replace both with en-dashes.

Fixed.

• "The report of the first game from the December 1st, 1905 issue of the Press-Gazette." (1) fragment so no period, (2) date-> December 1, 1905 (3) comma after 1905 (4) italics for newspaper.

Altered the caption. I really do not think there needs to be a comma after the year (as it was or is now).

• "1905—2005" should be an en-dash, not an em-dash.

Fixed.

• Does the table meet the minimum requirements of MOS:ACCESS e.g. row and col scopes?

I honestly don't know, because I'm using a template? Guidance accepted here.

• "NFL Alumni" alumni.

Fixed.

• Tables aren't sortable so don't overlink terms e.g. Green Bay Packers is linked every time and no need for that.

Delinked.

That's it on a first run through. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 11:49, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

OK, The Rambling Man, I've gone through and made most of the changes. I'm a little confused about how to implement the table fixes you talked about, so I would appreciate some extra explanation or help. Replies to your comments in italics.

Edit: OK, I think I did the MOS:ACCESS headings for the table of alumni? Still would appreciate feedback, as no one has ever raised this point on a GAN before. Etzedek24 ^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)} 17:13, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

I know, I'm sorry, I'm applying more stringent comments (which are actually optional, but beneficial to our readers). Thanks for taking them on board and working with them. I've made a couple of tweaks but I'm generally happy now that the article passes GA. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 17:18, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
