Cliff Christl (May 23, 2024). "Please don't search Wikipedia for Packers history". Green Bay Packers. Retrieved May 24, 2024. Please don't trust much of anything you find about Packers history on Wikipedia. And I'm referring to all of its sites: our team history, those devoted to individual players, coaches, stadiums – you name it.

the Conference Championships are wrong. I suggest using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Green_Bay_Packers_seasons to help. the box is duplicating division and conference championships. you need to remove the division championships of 1960, 1961, 1962 and 1965. There were no divisions then, the NFL was split into two conferences. Razgriz9203 (talk) 02:47, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 25 November 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Green Bay Packers. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

The line: "However, injuries plagued the Packers' defense, as they lost 7 close games by 4 points or less, finishing with a 6–10 record.[110] " should have "less" changed to "fewer."

A person might have "fewer points/eggs/rocks/coins/choices," but "less sugar/water/money/effort." Generally, the word "fewer" is used to describe items that can be counted, whereas "less" is used to describe things that can be poured or less tangible things that can not be clearly counted, and sometimes, not even clearly measured objectively, such as effort.

The line should read: "However, injuries plagued the Packers' defense, as they lost 7 close games by 4 points or fewer, finishing with a 6–10 record.[110] " 71.87.89.4 (talk) 00:37, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
