[edit] Photos
How come no pictures of lambeau field? Or maybe mention that Schneider National is HQ'd out of there. Just seems relevant.
Anyone have any photos of the city to add to the article? HollyAm 17:46, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
What kind of pics would work well? While I don't get up there real often (living in Chicago area now), I could possibly get some shots of the city. Jachim69 03:23, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
I threw in a pic of Heritage Hill State Park in the History section, but that's pretty much the only pic I have of Green Bay. -Nick 04:01, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
- BTW, anyone know how to get the extra row & column out of the infobox? -Nick 04:06, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
- As for what pic would work: as somebody who doesn't know the place at all, I find the photos already provided really help with the surroundings, but don't tell me much about what the centre looks like. Is there a central business or municipal center? TheGrappler 09:34, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
- Three photos is enough, I removed the photo request. I will take a photo of the city center sometime when I'm there (I live 1 hour away). Royalbroil 01:43, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Recent National News
Should mention be made of the recent arrests of two East High students who were plotting a Columbine-like attack [1] at the school? There is a section discussing the Greybuffalo murder, and given the national media attention of this incident, there might be reason to bring it up in the article. Ideas? --Caen 15:23, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- I would oppose such mention since Wikipedia is WP:NOT Wikinews, and I tend to think articles already have a presentist bias. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 19:43, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you, that's a good point. --Caen 13:21, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Nick Mortensen
I do not see the merit of including Nick Mortensen under the "Famous Residents" heading.
His placement seems like a baseless attempt to garner interest for his comedy routine. I suspect his addition was as a promotional tool by either him or a representative. At any rate, it doesn't make sense to include him, as he currently is neither significant to the culture of Green Bay nor does he hold any viable promise to transform into anything significant (or so it seems).
Forgive the venom -- it's a personal peeve of mine when locals try to use Wikipedia as a self-serving platform.
I deleted him. If there are any objections, please feel free to offer evidence to the contrary.

[edit] Great Wisconsin Fire
I keep coming across references to the Great Wisconsin Fire of 1871 which killed over 600 people and left 1.25 million acres burned. Apparently it started near Green Bay, does anyone know anything about this. I cannot seem to find anything on wiki about it. IvoShandor 08:23, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
- Peshtigo Fire, nevermind. Sorry. IvoShandor 08:25, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Preble, Wisconsin
I started an article about Preble, Wisconsin which is now part of Green Bay. I am still not sure of the main streets or major landmarks in the Preble neighborhood in Green Bay. If there are any photos of the Preble neighborhood would someone please add them to the Preble, Wisconsin article?Thank you-RFD (talk) 19:39, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
