Welcome to the Green Bay Packers WikiProject. As you should know, we are a group dedicated to making the Green bay Packers not only the best team in the NFL, but also the best covered on Wikipedia. This is a great way to show your support for America's best small-town team. Right now, we are working on creating a solid base for the WikiProject, so that we will be able to easily coordinate our efforts to succeed in our main goal, expand the articles! Nothing is set in stone, and all users are on an equal footing, so comments, suggestions, concerns, and being BOLD is welcome! Please come take a look at the project page, and become part of our community. If you feel you can help out in coordinating certain parts of the project, or have some new ideas, please let us know!
The Green Bay Packers Wikiproject has three specific collaboration efforts, and one open collaboration effort:
Nominated Collaborations- As with most WikiProjects, we have an area for members to nominate articles that need attention.
Featured and Good Content Collaboration- The Project also has a specific area for members to receive help with building an article up to GA-Class, FA-Class, or FL-Class. Every B-Class article within the scope of the project has been identified as a candidate for the area of collaboration. Nominations of new articles or of lower-class articles are also welcome in this area.
Stub Collaboration- One major key to this Project is to make sure that no top-importance and ultimately high-importance article is a stub. This area of collaboration is for members to work on de-stubbing important articles within the project's scope. As with the other collaboration efforts, this area is open to member nominations.
Special Collaboration- This last area is for special collaboration efforts. This area will not always be in use, but is usually used for collaboration efforts that focus on adding certain aspects to every page. Currently, the special collaboration is focused on adding an appropriate Infobox to every article that requires one. Hopefully, we will be able to get the services of a bot to automatically search our categories and create a list here, which will allow members to add the appropriate infobox to each article.
Currently, the project will employ the work of a bot, SatyrBot, to help the project tag new article with our project banner. Every two weeks, the bot will search every article in each Green Bay Packers category, and any article found to be in the category without a project tag will be listed here. Any article on this page should be tagged with our banner, making sure to assess the article by class and importance.
A worklist showing each article under the project's scope by class and importance can be found here, with a log of changes of assessments found here, and the project's statistics can be found here.

I'll accept it in under 5 days, then. I'm working on the questions now but will not rush, as I wish to answer the questions thoroughly. --Sharkface21722:56, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use
Thanks for uploading Image:Bervin Alexander wiki screenshot.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. B (talk) 02:18, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Re: AFD Barnstar
I've completed your challenge on Award Center#AFD by participating in 50 AFD discussions. For verification, you can look on my User Contributions from 02:05, 5 April 2008 to 03:52, 5 April 2008

I made a bot a while ago with the same formatting as yours. I need help delivering the newsletter of long island. Please deliver it and teach me how to deliver. Thanks.--RyRy5Talk to RyRy?19:39, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
As linked. If there is anything that still needs to be changed, let me know, and ill try to make that happen. (Somehow i deem writing new articles way easier) Excirial (Talk,Contribs)20:28, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello, I've repeated your Award Center Challenge for participating in 50 AfDs. Verification can be seen at my contributions from 16:15-22:00 on April 5, 2008.

Thank you for uploading Image:Welcome!.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
The references look good though they still need to be fully formatted as I have previously suggested. The section "Illeism, malapropism and anecdotes" needs to be rewritten with a new title. Couldn't we add some other information to what's there and call the personal section or some other name?User:calbear22 (talk) 04:30, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
I took a look over the sources and they are of decent quality. What is stated in the section is sourced. This section does not fail the Biographies of a Living person standards. Also, I noticed that a peer review was completed and had many good suggestions for the article. Thanks.User:calbear22 (talk) 01:28, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Re:Script
Yeah, I can make it, although it may take some time. Should it be in the same "style" as the copyedit script? jj137(talk)15:14, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
No, no, no. Don't be sorry. Perfectly fine with me. Oh, and uhh, if you don't mind me asking two questions out of subject, then here I go:(1 Not to put you under pressure, but did you finish my logo with the cutlass? (2 How come you don't update your status? Nothing444Go Irish!16:14, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
I didn't mean how as in technically, I meant by what rationale? A bot simply does quickly what a human does slowly, so if you were right now to identify pages which were controversial, what would you look for? That's what I'm meaning. Orderinchaos16:16, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Its okay oreo Forget about the logo. Theres more important things in Wikipedia.

Hello, Instinct! A project you are involved in, The WikiCup ,has signed up for automatic message delivery from StormBot, an automated bot account using AutoWikiBrowser. StormBot will be delivering you news and notifications about the project on your talk page. If anything is wrong or you have any suggestions to make, please notify the creator, Stormtracker94. Thank you. This message was delivered by StormBotStormBot (talk) 17:35, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
No, I meant do you have any other copyediting challenges for me? You don't hhave to give me barnstars for them if you don't want to though. Nothing444Go Irish!21:06, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the barnstar! D'you know that userbox that LaraLove made for Riana that says something like "This user recognizes Riana as a bureaucrat... but the tools will come later?" What would you think of me creating something like that for your adminship? Basketball110pick away...01:06, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
And end of the basketball season... :( The Mavs better make it. If they don't, I think I'm going to tell Mark Cuban (click the link) what I really think of J-Kidd. Bosox aren't doing well lately, are they? Basketball110pick away...01:10, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Collaboration of the Month nominations are currently open for WikiProject Homeschooling's Collaboration of the month. So far there have been two nominations. You can nominate and vote at April's Collaboration page (link).
The March 2008 Collaboration of the Month was a real success! You can view the before and afters at the project page. The following users contributed: Zginder, Wrad, E104421, Diligent Terrier. Stop by their talk page and give them a smile.
Peer Review: The homeschooling article is currently under peer review. Constructive criticism is welcome at the peer review page (link).
Project member count reaches 23 members! Keep inviting all your WikiFriends using our invitation templates.
A Homeschooling Portal may be created by User:WBOSITG. However, this user will soon be on a WikiBreak, so don't expect it anytime soon.
Remember: The project is accessible from the shortcuts, WP:HOME and WP:WPHS.
On the mainpage when you said "Feel free to add your name to this list by adding your user name to our list of members", it doesn't work. If someone adds their name to this list, it doesn't appear on this list. I have added 7-8 members on this list because I always see how the project is doing. Any comments?--RyRy5Got something to say?03:41, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Project News - Recent news from the Wikiproject including FA and GA articles
Team News - Games won and lost by the Boston Celtics and current records.
Collaboration - As April began, Paul Pierce is now the collaboration.
Featured Picture - A selected image for the newsletter.
Project News
There are currently no unassessed articles in the Wikiproject. This was done because of a great help and effort by Basketball110, and Stormtracker94. The main project page received a redesign that was blatantly was stolen from the Green Bay Packers Wikiproject. It is encouraged that all members keep both the main project page and the main project talk page on their watchlist to see any new information that may be posted there. The project currently has a total of twenty-two (22) members. It is suggested that you invite anyone who may be interesting in contributing in this project. When inviting someone please use {{WP CELTICS INVITE}}. If they do accept the invite, please welcome them with {{WPCELTICSwelcome}}. Our main goal for the project to bring Boston Celtics up to featured article status still stands. The article was chosen as March's collaboration and a good amount of effort was done improving the article by 8-Hype, Stormtracker94, and RC-0722. Your help is appreciated.
The project currently has one featured article: Bill Russell, and four (4) good articles: Bob Cousy, Bruce Bowen, Dennis Johnson, and Red Auerbach.
The project collaboration for the Wikiproject for March was Boston Celtics. April’s collaboration is Paul Pierce. The article could use some cleanup and significant improvements. The article was nominated by Basketabll110 and the nomination is avaliable here. It is recommended that you put Paul Pierce on your watchlist to track all changes that occur in the article. You will be notified with May's nominations are taking place.
Thanks for the barnstar. I have a few comments though.
Why did you decide to recreate your userpage (twice)? I liked the one before the last two but the current one is good too. Oh, do you mind reviewing me?
Also, on the WP:SOX mainpage when you said "Feel free to add your name to this list by adding your user name to our list of members", it doesn't work. If someone adds their name to this list, it doesn't appear on this list. I have added 7-8 members on this list because I always see how the project is doing. Any comments?--RyRy5Talk to RyRy00:24, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
I have been trying to stop editing in the userspace and it is doing very well. Instead, I am more focused on editing in the mainspace and participating in WP:AFD, or mainly just WP:XFDs. Thanks.--RyRy5Talk to RyRy00:47, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm thinking about sometime in May. June 17 to June 24 I will be on vacation, so I can't apply then. Early June might be good, too. What do you think? STORMTRACKER94 Go Irish!11:48, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
Can you make me something like this for my userpage? I would like it to have a cutlass on each side. What do yousay? Can you do it? Nothing44413:30, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
This page looks best in Mozilla Firefox at 1280 x 1024 or higher.
