[edit] COTF-Rugby history
Great nomination. We can really improve this. Also, when it gets 3 votes (shouldnt take long), just de-cotf the RWC, as I feel it cannot benefit from the COTF much more, as its on peer-review and it looks good. I'll go vote. Cvene64 03:46, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
- Purely for aesthetic purposes, remove the top one, and keep the one in see also. Cvene64 04:39, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] RWC
I agree that there is no need to have both. I think the link at the top, as it will direct users to the "opposite" page, should that be what they want. The "See also" is of less relevance as they are difference sports. What do you think?--dan, dan and dan 06:40, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
- Im easy either way mate, if you're happy with it then go ahead. Soundabuser 08:48, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi mate, if you're a fan of Aussie rules, I suggest you take a look at WikiProject AFL (join by adding your name to the list of participants) and the Australian rules football portal. Also take a look at Category:VFL/AFL players and feel free to drop me a line with any questions, or on the WP:AFL discussion page. Cheers! |

[edit] Rugby union in NZ
Hey Soundabuser, I have nominated the article at the NZ COTF. Be sure to vote for it here Wikipedia:New_Zealand_Collaboration_of_the_Fortnight#Rugby_union_in_New_Zealand. Cheers Cvene64 13:43, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] RU COTF
Hey mate, I was going to leave you a message, and put a message on WP:RU as well, but I had to run. Anyway, the History nomination had three votes, which is (at the moment) a pass, also it didnt look good having no COTF.
Anyway, to the point, lol. Umm, I might go have a look at cricket/football/league articles, they all seem to be different/have good ideas. Then I'll set up a To-Do list on the talk that we can contribute to etc to form a plan.
As for the banner, I think they usually go on the talk page (the nominations one does, at least), but since the Rugby one is relative low profile at the moment, we could benefit from having on the article page. Anyway, see you there. Cheers Cvene64 11:27, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Rugby Union in New Zealand
Hi there, I noticed you voted for Rugby Union in New Zealand to be the next Wikipedia:New Zealand Collaboration of the Fortnight. It is also being voted for on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Rugby union/Collaboration of the fortnight. Add your vote there and have a joint collaboration! --Midnighttonight 05:44, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] RU in Aus
Hey mate rugby.com.au's history is where I got the info. Thanks. Cvene64 11:33, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Christian Brothers
There are 2 Christian Brothers congregations. The LaSalle Christian bothers and the Irish Christian Brothers of Brother Rice. You edited out the Irish Christian Brothers congregation.
It makes it hard to reply to a message when you dont sign your comments. I didnt edit out the Irish ones, plus they are not called the "Irish Christian Brothers of Brother Rice". I put the link to the Congregation of Christian Brothers, which is the order founded by Edmund Rice. I believe I may have some knowledge of the subject having attended both a school and uni founded by the them, as well as volunteering for one of their projects. Soundabuser 02:49, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Australian Catholic University - a review
I looked over the article for a second time. All I can say is that it still needs a lot of work, notably in terms of wording and spelling. Though I speak American English, there were many words, such as "amalgamated," which were clearly misspelled. There were also a number of run-on sentences which made the article difficult to read. In fact, I only got half-way through the academics section before I had to stop from exhaustion.
One thing that the article doesn't tell me is why ACU began admitting lay students in the first place (can you expand on that?), as well as what the university had been doing in the years after it was established (unless there isn't much occurring amongst Australian universities when compared to major U.S. universities). Another thing is the clear lack of images. Third, the academics section contains too much boosterism. Rankings aren't a problem, but using an excess of them is (as they say, "everything in moderation"). Futhermore, the are many short sections that don't need their own headings. Instead, they can just be merged into one section (e.g. "Faculties and schools").
Since your desire is to bring this article to Good or Featured Status, I suggest you talk to other people who might help. Tony might help out with prose. Taxman might be able to give you advice on sourcing and more indepth research that will help an article reach the status you want. AndyZ also has some suggestions to get an article to featured status, though at the moment he is on Wikibreak in preparation for exams. You can also try asking the people who got Michigan State University and Indian Institutes of Technology to featured status. In the meantime, I will look at the article further when time permits.

- I substantially agree with the above, so my review would probably be more valuable after you feel you've done all you can to implement that. Also consider listing it at peer review so you can get a wider view for suggestions of what to implement before FAC. - Taxman Talk 15:05, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The ACU
Hi, thx for your note. I'm afraid that it's not a topic that interests me. Heck, I'm someone the pope thinks should go to hell for eternity. I've edited the first bit. Needs more.
Cheers

[edit] Ray Price article
I noticed you created the Parramatta Two Blues article. I was wondering if you have statistics on Ray Price's career with the Two Blues that could help complete his infobox? Thanks! -- User:CumberlandsAshes81 14 September 2006
[edit] Re: NSWRL clubs
Hey thanks for pointing that error out to me. To be honest, I can't remember why I put Western Suburbs there, but I do realise the mistake now and I promise I'll fix it up by the end of the year sometime. Thanks for letting me know. Cheers, --mdmanser 04:38, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
