change League/conference affiliations: Western Conference (1953-1966) to (1953-1969) note: the Packers were in the NFL western conference until the NFL/AFL merger after the 1969 season. Cpanzer16 (talk) 01:31, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the

template. From what I tell from the information in this article and at NFC North, the Packers were in Central division in 67,68, and 69. RudolfRed (talk) 04:49, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
Packers.com: "Please don't search Wikipedia for Packers history"
[edit]This article was taken off Packers.com after publication, reasons unknown, but archive.is has a copy in case editors here find its details useful. Ed [talk] [OMT] 17:11, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- Well, I just deleted that line about Cliff Lewis throwing interceptions. Otherwise their author claims we're unreliable but doesn't give details. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:50, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- I agree, but we also shouldn't be noting division specific records on players' articles even if they were true. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:53, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- I mean, they say "I made a copy of its Green Bay Packers site sometime in the last year and found six factual mistakes in the first 16 sentences." No, that's not calling out specific errors, but it gives someone a specific starting point in case they want to check the article's text-source integrity. Same for Don Hutson: "Under the "NFL career" sub-title, there was a mistake in five of the first eight sentences. On Curly Lambeau's page, they credited me as the source for two of the first six citations and yet both included misinformation that doesn't accurately reflect what I've written."

- I think the writer of this article went way too far in their dismissal of Wikipedia's credibility when it comes to Packers' history. We can only document what there are sources for. @Gonzo fan2007, I think this is pretty relevant for you. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:51, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- The writer did go too far, and hopefully that's why they deleted the piece. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:14, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hahaha Cliff Christl is probably just mad I wrote an article about him...... :) « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 20:54, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

- FYI, the article is back online. Ed [talk] [OMT] 17:16, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- Shameless plug, but I have Cliff Christl up at WP:GAN if anyone wants to do a review for me haha. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 17:26, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

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)
