Sydney Blue Sox

I appreciate the effort you've put into the article, but I'm not sure it's all necessarily needed at this point. I've updated the template you setup for the roster to use a non-MLB format; it's been used on previous Claxton Shield rosters and seems to work better for our purposes. Given that apart from the manager there's no info to put into it yet, I've commented out the roster section as well - it'll be simple to put back in once we've got some more details. Also the table of games seems unnecessary. All the games (using a linescore template) will be listed on the ABL season articles; at the moment we've got round 1 setup on 2010–11 Australian Baseball League regular season. When there's something to write about in the context of the season itself, results, roster announcements, special events, that sort of thing, that can go here, with links to the season articles. Remember Sydney Blue Sox will be for the team over every season it plays, not just this one coming up. If we do the same sort of table of results for every season, it'll get a bit difficult to sort through for readers. And there's been issues in the past with having big tables of information without prose to go along with it.

If you're interested, head over to the Australian baseball task force. It's a part of WikiProject Baseball and looks after all articles that have to do with baseball in Australia. Feel free to sign up... we even do a semi-regular newsletter that tries to cover what's going on in the task force, and in Australian baseball in general.  Afaber012  (talk)  23:15, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Keep up the good work. One tip though with when you put in references (and its brilliant that you are because not everyone does): The ref goes just after the punctuation, not before it. So the code should look something like...

Here's a sentence.<ref>Here's the reference</ref>

... with the result being something like...

Here's a sentence.

If you take a look at WP:MOS, it goes through all the standards and guidelines for how the articles should look.  Afaber012  (talk)  10:43, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Wow, thanks for that. I've pretty much been picking things up as I go. Will try to do some study. Cheers :D Qwertyqwas (talk) 10:53, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
