Template:International Rugby League

Just want to say great job on the new template, a lot better than my previous effort.--Tiburon 13:01, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Userbox Styles

How come the styles of userboxes are being changed? I made an effort to keep them in line with the Wikipedia:Babel templates (which were the original-style userboxes) for consistency. I don't particularly mind a change but I might put them back in the future just to keep everything consistent with one another. mdmanser 11:34, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Nah look it's no real big deal anyway. No worries at all. mdmanser 01:24, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Melbourne, North Queensland Colours

Hey nice work on the new ones. To make life easier for you, just upload your new images over the existing file names so that you don't have to amend each individual page. It'll also keep naming styles consistent in the file names. Cheers, mdmanser 14:01, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Nah not to worry. I'm usually protective of what I do, but those new ones look good, so I have no issues with that. And to be honest, you did a good job with the userboxes too. Keep the good work up. mdmanser 14:06, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Just one thing though - I think we should stay away from using the fb start and fb end templates in rugby league articles. I've worked with them before and they make more problems than they solve. In my opinion just stick with the traditional way of doing things and it'll keep everything a lot more simpler. --mdmanser 14:16, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Karmichael Hunt

Do you have a free image of Karmichael Hunt or can you get one.

I am trying to get Karmichael Hunt to Featured Article status and need a free image of him.

Thanks

Template: State Sports Teams

There is an anti-football person changing the templates to read soccer. I reverted but this person - User:58.168.232.23 - undone them again. I can keep undoing the vandalism but it will just chew up bandwidth and space. Your advice? --Falcadore 11:29, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Swapping order of sports

Hi. Is there any reason other than your own personal preferences for the swaps you have done here and here? It looks suspicioulsy lke POV pushing. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 10:56, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough, although I wouldn't let WP:WA hear you call Melbourne "senior" to Perth! As for Wagga Wagga, League is definitely the most popular spectator sport, but based on my time there, I would say that AFL is as big if not bigger on a participation basis, but it doesn't really matter. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 11:13, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

My only problem with your edit there was that you marked it as a minor edit. Removing content, especially a paragraph, is never minor. Cheers, Mattinbgn\^talk 11:28, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Sports maps

Hi again, just thought I would mentioned I have made some minor changes to your "future" A-League map - including a different icon for GCG. Apologies for playing in your sandbox! Also a question about the cricket map - I notice you have ACT coloured blue, since that was its former colour when it played in the One-day Cup, but as the map is used on various domestic cricket articles (such as Pura Cup), which the ACT never played in) it may confuse readers. Also the NT is left grey, as it doesn't have a team, but the NZ colour is marked as grey on Ford Ranger One Day Cup - obvious to Aussies, but may confuse other people. Perhaps we should remove the colours for NZ and ACT from both the table and the map? -- Chuq (talk) 02:08, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Maybe, but the fact that it is orange (and not grey) might make people think NT has a team, and wonder why it isn't in the list, etc... perhaps a different shade of grey (light grey = no team, dark grey = NZ?) -- Chuq (talk) 07:33, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Football Queensland

Hi. I noticed you updated the Football Queensland template to include the QSL. But I think you should include the previous version as well. It's still relevant to Football in Queensland and if someone wants to find a link to the Gold Coast Soccer or Sunshine Coast football it'll be easy to find.

Request for wider input on discussion at WikiProject Tennis

Hi, there is an extremely long and muddled discussion going on at WP:Tennis about the tournament tables found on tennis player articles (i.e. this type of table), and I'm notifying you as you identified yourself as a member of the project. The dispute is over the "Tournament Name" column, with the options being to either use the "sponsored tournament name" - in other words, the name involving the sponsor, for example Internazionali BNL d'Italia - or the "non-sponsored tournament name" - in other words, Rome Masters. I appreciate that this conversation is very long and convoluted, so a brief summary can be found here, which is also where I request the discussion continues.

Vote for Football as the Australian collaboration

Hi -- I recently nominated Wikipedia:WikiProject Football (soccer) in Australia/To-do for the Australian Collaboration of the Fortnight.

This WikiProject has been inactive for a long time and with the World Cup coming up, it would be good for football (soccer) articles to be in depth and comprehensive in Australia.

Thanks! Australian Matt (talk) 02:56, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Sports team templates

Hi Bongomanrae, the best place to ask would probably be Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football (soccer) in Australia. I would recommend either "Association football" or "Football (soccer)", the former being the name of the sport throughout Wikipedia, and the latter being slightly shorter. I haven't been successful in gaining a consensus for either though but they are my two personal preferences! -- Chuq (talk) 11:06, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Category:PNG Rugby league logos

I notice that this category you created is unpopulated (empty). In other words, no Wikipedia pages belong to it. If it remains unpopulated for four days, it may be deleted without discussion, in accordance with Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#C1. I'm notifying you in case you wish to (re-)populate it by adding [[Category:PNG Rugby league logos]] to pages that belong in it.

I tagged the category. This will not, in itself, cause the category to be deleted. It serves to document (in the page history) that the category was empty at the time of tagging and also to alert other watchers that the category is in jeopardy. You are welcome to remove the tag if you wish. However, removing the tag will not prevent deletion of the category if it remains empty.

If you created the category in error, or it is no longer needed, you can speed up the deletion process by tagging it with {{db-author}}.

I am a human being, not a bot, so you can contact me if you have questions about this. Best regards, --Stepheng3 (talk) 02:13, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Proposed move for ANZ Championship

Hi, Bongomanrae. Are you planning on filing a move request for ANZ Championship at Wikipedia:Requested moves?

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia.

I noticed that your user subpage at User:Bongomanrae may not meet Wikipedia's user page guideline because it spoofs elements of the MediaWiki interface, more specifically the "new messages" bar. If you believe that your userpage does not violate our guidelines, please leave a note here and we can discuss it. As an alternative, you may add {{Db-userreq}} to the top of the page in question and an administrator will delete it, or you can simply edit the page so that it meets Wikipedia's userpage guidelines. Thank you. Draftydoor (talk) 11:37, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Knowsley Road photographs

The first play-off game at Knowsley Road could be the last game to be played there. It's looking likely that not that many more games will be played at Knowsley Road, Belle Vue, The Willows or Wheldon Road and we have very few free-to-use images of them (although the ones we have, particularly of Wheldon Road are very good). I wouldn't like to see our material on these historic grounds go the same way as the very limited material we have for the historic Boulevard Ground, Thrum Hall or the Parkside Ground. If you will be at the next play-off game at Knowsely Road or if you are able to get any pictures of these grounds I would be very gratefull if you could upload them to commons. I can sort out the categories and such if you don't have any time. Alternatively if you know of anyone who could it would be much appreciated. I am unlikely to go to any away games next season because of my current circumstances so will not be able to contribute towards this, although I shall endevour to get some great images at home games (I've a load of the CC final to upload but there sat it a very long backlog).

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:52, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of List of rugby union incidents for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of rugby union incidents is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of rugby union incidents until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. StAnselm (talk) 05:58, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:Old NRL Stadiums

A tag has been placed on Template:Old NRL Stadiums requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it must be substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>).

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Bulwersator (talk) 08:15, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Redirect blanking

Hi, if you have an issue with a redirect that doesn't qualify for speedy deletion, please take it to Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion rather than blank the page as you did with Western Reds. Thanks! -- KTC (talk) 00:07, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

It is not possible for a non-administrator to move a page to a target location which already exist and has more than 1 line of history (which must be the creation of a redirect to where you're trying to move from). As Western Reds has more than that, it is not possible for you to move the page to that location. Have a look at Wikipedia:Requested moves for instruction in how to either request an uncontroversial move, or list a potentially controversial move proposal for discussion. I hope that helps. If you have any other questions, feel free to let me know. KTC (talk) 08:33, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:NRL corporate logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:NRL corporate logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:04, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of TAFE East Coast

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on TAFE East Coast, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Speedy deletion nomination of Coomera Cutters

Hello Bongomanrae,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Coomera Cutters for deletion, because it seems to be an article that was previously deleted by a consensus decision.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. AlanS (talk) 13:27, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

About your question as to why the page was deleted. If you want to know more I suggest you check out WP:GNG. In general amateur league teams are not considered notable unless they've received significant third party coverage (news papers and the like). The only links the page had on it were from the titan's website. You can find the pages original deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Coomera Cutters (There's a link at the bottom of that page where you can request a deletion review if you believe the reasons for deletion were incorrect).

Coomera Cutters

This is to answer your question on the now-deleted talk page. The deletion log, which you can see if you click on the "redlink" above, shows that the page was deleted after a deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Coomera Cutters. After that kind of deletion, if a page is re-created it can be speedily deleted if it is substantially the same as the previously-deleted version and does not overcome the previous reasons for deletion.

If you want to query this, you should ask the deleting administrator, user Guerillero (talk); then, if you are not happy, you can go to WP:Deletion review. However, I should warn you that it is very unlikely that a local amateur club like this can meet Wikipedia's WP:Notability test, which looks for "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? Regards, JohnCD (talk) 11:45, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks JohnCD, appreciate the explanation and links. Bongomanrae (talk) 11:57, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Invite to the African Destubathon

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest! Cheers.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:12, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
