BlackJack, take a look at Talk:Bellevue Park (stadium)/GA1, which was failed because the reviewer stopped editing. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 20:05, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Will do. If there's anything useful there, I'll incorporate it into this one. Thanks, Jack (talk) 20:07, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

I've looked at the GA1 discussion, and it seems all points raised have been addressed. Or rightly not (I agree with you about the dates of Prohibition).

The article is certainly well-written, and it's an interesting read, especially as the venue was demolished so soon. I'd never heard of it previously as a Packers home ground. I think it's broad enough in coverage, as everything is within scope, and it presents a good narrative of a short-lived enterprise. The article is stable, it's written with NPOV, and the single image is both relevant and public domain.

That leaves verification, and I need to do the sample spot-check of your sources. I'm running out of time now, so I'll pick three citations tomorrow and look them over. All the best, Jack (talk) 20:45, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Verification

Citation #1 confirms that Bellevue Park, on the other hand, was built in less than three weeks in the spring of 1923 to house Green Bay's semipro or amateur baseball team. Five years later, it was demolished.

Citation #9 confirms that the Packers moved to City Stadium ahead of the 1925 season, and then to what became Lambeau Field in 1957.

Citations 2, 5, 7 & 8 all reference the work of Cliff Christl, who is clearly an impeccable source, so I accept verification of those statements.

This is a very good article, and I'm promoting it to GA status. Well done, and all the best. Jack (talk) 16:09, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
