Green Bay Packers all-time roster

Trying this again. A few important things to note: (1) this list follows the format for all other NFL All-Time Rosters (see {{List of NFL players}} for the others). (2) These lists are quite large (this one is over 1,800 entries) and grows larger every season. To keep things manageable from an article size perspective and ease for updating, ancillary details like position are not included. These however can be found in other lists where those ancillary details are more important (i.e. List of Green Bay Packers first-round draft picks provides a person's college). (3) For somewhat of a precedent, Outline of lichens provides a recent FLC example of a list that is mostly just the mere listing of the list entries. I believe that list and this one meet the intent of WP:FLCR 3(a). I welcome any feedback and as always will work to address comments quickly. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 18:30, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ChrisTheDude, you had made some comments in the first review. If you have the chance and the interest, would you be willing to come back and give it a look again? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:10, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey man im josh

Source review: Passed
- Reliable enough for the information being cited
- Consistent date formatting
- Consistent and proper reference formatting
- Appropriate wikilinks where applicable
- Spot checks on sources match what they are being cited for

Feedback:

You have Pro-Football-Reference.com linked in the external links section, which doesn't follow your typical linking habits.
Consider, in the notes section, including the player's full name instead of just surname (and linking) so the notes section is a bit clearer. I'd be fine with not linking, but I do think full names are beneficial there for anybody looking just at the notes themselves.

Otherwise links good, even if not our typical list format. I don't really have a reason to not support it other than it being a Packers list. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:35, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

"Over 1,800 people have played" - "people", while technically accurate, sounds a bit odd, like it has been chosen in order to cover men, women, and children. Maybe "Over 1,800 players have taken part"
"or who only were signed" => "or who were only signed"
Is there a link for "practice squad"?
IN the key you have "inducted in" for one entry but "inducted into" for the other. I would use the latter for both, personally

"The Packers have competed in the National Football League (NFL) since 1921, two years after their original founding"; I hope I'm not being nitpicky here but what exactly did they do during this two-year gap? Would it be appropriate for inclusion?
- They played against amateur teams across Wisconsin. This is the standard sentence I have used across all Packers' lists. I would say it's probably too much detail for this list. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 22:21, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Lambeau Field in central Wisconsin."; perhaps link Wisconsin since it wasn't linked when Green Bay was mentioned.
- Linked. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 22:21, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"growing from 18 roster spots in 1921 to the lower 50s by the 2020s."; Is there a definitive number for the 2020s or does it keep changing?
- This was my attempt to have a sentence that doesn't require updating every year. I can say "53" if you think that is clearer. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 22:21, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ask and you shall receive! I hope I did alright since this happens to be my first FLC review, and this is all I got. Cheers! Kline • talk • contribs 21:19, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
