[edit] WP:AFL

G'day Hack, I suggest you check out WikiProject AFL, the latest footy project we have going. Cheers mate, Rogerthat 06:09, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi mate, how'd you fine the full name of Jimmy Krakouer? I reckon we need to find the names of players like David Johnson (Australian rules footballer) so we can move the pages to David A Johnson (or whatever his middle name is) - it looks much neater (see Chris L. Johnson, Peter F. Bell). Rogerthat ^Talk 03:37, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

"Do you suggest the name of the articles be changed to reflect their birth names (First name, surname)? Or just in the article itself? We could have issues with names like George Hogg or Neil Winmar.--Hack 05:41, 1 February 2006 (UTC)" - just in the article itself. However when you have two Chris Johnsons for example, or more than two Peter Bells, then you'd change the article name to Peter F. Bell instead of Peter Bell (Australian rules footballer) Rogerthat ^Talk 06:21, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Normal Wikipedia style is to use the most common name, and/or the claim to fame in brackets. I have changed "Peter F. Bell" back to Peter Bell (footballer). No one calls him Peter F. Bell and no one will look for him under that name. I suppose we could have had "Peter Bell (football)". If there was a famous soccer or gridiron player, then we might have to go to middle names or "(Australian football)". Grant65 | Talk 03:11, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject NBL

Hey Hack

I am wondering if you would like to join WikiProject NBL. I believe that this is something that you might be able to help me with, by creating user boxes and player boxes for it or even adding articles about Players

Cheers

[edit] AFL season article naming convention

As a participant of WikiProject AFL I thought you might be interested in this. I have started a vote to get a consensus on the naming convention for AFL season articles. You can participate in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject AFL#AFL season article naming convention. Cheers. Remy B 13:17, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP A-League player project

WP A-League players 10% complete

Hi Hack!

I just wanted to let you know about the big WikiProject A-League 2005–06 player project. It is an attempt to bring the articles on every player who played in the A-League in 2005–06 up to standard. Check out the main page for the player project to get the full list of players as well as useful links and stats to help out. Hopefully we can get the full list done before the beginning of the 2006–07 season. Don't forget to update the counts (they will automatically update the status bar) as you go. Thanks! AlbinoMonkey ^(Talk) 10:16, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Should there perhaps be a link from the main A-League project page?--Hack 11:14, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Haha yes I overlooked the most important part in my attempts to set it up. Thanks for pointing it out, I'll try to stick something up there soon. AlbinoMonkey ^(Talk) 11:19, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I am in by the way...--Hack 11:31, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Cool, thanks. I've put a notice at the top of the WP A-League page as well. Hopefully we can get plenty of people working on this. AlbinoMonkey ^(Talk) 15:13, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A-League 2006-07 Newsletter I

Introduction The first ever Wikiproject A-League newsletter is here! The 2006-07 A-League season will bring the usual enjoyment and fanaticism that only football/soccer can create. This new season also means a lot of (currently-open) tasks that require completion throughout the course of the next 21 weeks. Position Ladder A Position Ladder will be placed on each team page, which will provide an up-to-date visualization of the current A-League standings. However, problems may occur when Position Ladders aren't updated with the new statistics that don't involve matches of the team whose page the Position Ladder resides on. To remedy this, a base Position Ladder will be created, which will be located at {{2006-07 A-League Position Ladder}} (link). Please update this as soon as possible after the match has ended, as this will keep the Wikipedia community informed. A few notes regarding the base Position Ladder:- Please do not substitute the Position Ladder template on the team pages, as it won’t get automatically updated if you do. Please only update the Position Ladder at the end of a match, and if there is any large dispute about the result, do not add it, but instead wait for an official report by the A-League confirming the result. When updating, make sure to adjust all of the below fields:- The played field – add one (eg. 13→14 etc.) Either the win, loss or draw field, depending on the result for that team. The points field – either add 3 points (win), 1 point (draw) or leave the same (loss) The for and the against section Make sure you repeat this process for both teams – not just the team you follow!

Summary Tables Each team page will have a Summary Table added to it, which will provide an at-a-glance look at the results of the team throughout the season. We ask that, at every chance you get, you fill in the results of these Summary Tables – it only takes a few seconds, but it will help keep the uninformed "in the loop" – it is an encyclopedia we’re writing, after all. As with the Position Ladders, a few notes about the Summary Tables:- Please place the winner in bold text (using '''winning team'''). With the crowd figures, please only place a comma if the attendance is over 10,000 people (eg. use 8648 instead of 8,468 and 11,482 instead of 11482).

It should work now. Ron Smith is a dab page. I deleted the second page which had a space after the (. Just wondering how you found me? Thanks,Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 04:07, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A-League Newsletter II, 2006

WikiProject A-League Newsletter Issue II – September 2006
Current Player project status 10% complete
A-League News The 2006-07 A-League season is now two rounds old, with the early front-runners being Queensland Roar and Melbourne Victory. Adelaide United won the Pre-Season Cup, defeating Central Coast Mariners 5-4 on penalties. Project News The Player project has been moved, overhauled and refined. It now is not limited to the 2005-06 player list. However, only 10% of articles are considered "complete", and hopefully we can get this figure to approach 100% by the end of the season. Major changes to the layout of the 2006-07 A-League season page have taken place recently, and an infobox created. A table for attendances, as well as top scorer etc. are now in place. All users are encouraged to update the scores for completed matches as they come in. Recently, Perth Glory F.C. was moved to Perth Glory FC after no objections were raised at the Wikiproject talk page. All links to the old page (including various templates) were changed. The project requires pictures of games and stadiums to help improve articles. Any pictures are much appreciated. The A-League Portal has been set up. Feel free to update the scores, and make sure you check out the selected article and picture each fortnight. The football (soccer) barnstar has recently became the official award of the Wikiproject. Feel free to hand it out to anyone you see making excellent contributions to all things A-League related. Since the last newsletter was distributed (on August 5, 2006), four new members have graced our ever-growing list: Wantok (talk • contribs), Ronan.evans (talk • contribs), Tiefighter (talk • contribs) and Mattythewhite (talk • contribs).

[edit] Expansion of WP:A-League

Hi Hack,

Just thought I'd let you know there is currently a proposal to expand WikiProject A-League to include all areas of football/soccer in Australia, including the NSL, A-League, Socceroos, state leagues and more. A more formal proposal page can be found here. Please indicate whether you support the idea or not at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject A-League, and also add your 2c about what the new project should be called. Cheers! – AlbinoMonkey ^(Talk) 04:10, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Footy Club

Hi, I am trying to introduce a club for rugby league supporters that will be more than just a wikiproject and help to encourage rugby league participation and article improvement. I have written down some of my thoughts about what wikileaguies should attempt to do and would be interested if you, like other rugby league supporters, would be willing to be involved on some level. [1], leave signage and thoughts on the talk page if you are interested. Cheers. --Rugby 666 08:28, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FAS Premier League

The reason I linked FAS Premier League to the S.League page is becuase there is information about the FAS Premier League on the S.League page in the section entitled "League football in Singapore before the S.League". The FAS Premier League is now only a minor footnote in Singapore football history. It's only real significance today is that it was the precursor to the S.League. I therefore thought it made sense to contain information about it (and the 3 other historical leagues that preceeded it) within an appropriate section on the S.League page. Singopo 15:38, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jack Juniper

I take your point about not calling ex-AFL players, "former players", but Jack Juniper is not playing for anyone as at today. He was coming back to Glenelg in 2007 but when last heard from had walked out and apparently is looking to travel. That sounds like an ex-player to me, AFL or otherwise. Still he might end up player for someone, somewhere so I have left the edit as it stands. Cheers. Pudgey 11:36, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)#Regarding notability of Football (soccer) players

Hi, seeing you are interested in football this is an invitation to contribute to this discussion to clarify certain issues about football player notability. I think clearer guidelines are needed to avoid repeated inappropriate nominations for deletion and time consuming discussions. Cheers! StephP 20:31, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Following your contribution to the discussion on football player notability you might be interested in voting on this. Rgds, StephP 10:25, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
