Talk:2011 Six Nations Championship

Some elements premature?

Not to be an @rse, but isn't having the full template for each match layed out a bit much at this stage. It's highly unusual for coaches to be sacked mid-tournament but there is no guarantee the various coaches will be in charge on any of those games, the assigned referees/touch judges might fall ill. Put the fixtures up by all means, but the rest? Surely fill it out after the event along with the rest the line ups? 131.111.53.24 (talk) 10:20, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

And surely a full list of the players and replacements is unnecessary? makes it difficult to scroll through results, unless of course these lists can be hidden and shown on command? Delusion23 (talk) 15:49, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Fixtures at a glance

Added an at a glance table with date & fixtures, saves scrolling through pages of info to find who is playing where & when 86.44.21.64 (talk) 01:51, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Fact files

Are the fact files of the teams new head-to-head form strictly necessary? Statistics such as results fromprevious starting matches are not usually collected, while infomration such as the total head-to-head results are found on the respective national team's page; in no other wikipedia rugby-page are the teams head-to-head results shown after every match, for the obvious reason that such information is oft repeated and of little relevence to that particular match. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.198.161.174 (talk) 13:53, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Comment by Daily Telegraph writer

I added it as some commentary on the tournament is a good idea, and its backed up by a reliable source. Its not undue weight as its only a single sentence. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 21:22, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

This is a single article by one sport's writer. Why should what is his personal opinion be given any prominence in this article. If you can find multiple reliable sources that agree that Ireland were somehow the 'better' team through the championship, then perhaps fair enough. But it is entirely irrelevant that one person thinks this. The article should deal with the facts - that is results. Not personal opinion on who is the better team. If such material were to be included, as I said, many more references would be needed, and it would need to cover commentary of performance of all teams, not just one.

Fair point. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 21:42, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Fixtures section

I've reduced this to just the scores/prose, the other content seems rather excessive and better suited to another article, there were comments made about it on WP:ITNC before it was posted to the front page that it was excessive. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 21:26, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

This looks much better. An article on the Six Nations championship that directed to another sub-article for the actual results seemed bizarre to me, but there is no need for all the extra detail of match squads and substitutions on the main page, so having this split off makes much more sense.
