[edit] Australian Soccer

Why are you reverting my changes. I have put a lot of effort into trying to get a uniformity in Australian football disambiguations so that the average person who clicks on it (who is australia) gets where they want faster and better understands where they have ended up. I do not understand your mentality in this. Xtra 12:34, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I hope you do not intend to replace the content of the page with what you have got in your sandbox. Even if I were to accept your page move, I would never accept you relegating the far more popular codes of football to the background in the national team disambiguation. Xtra 12:49, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

OK if that was your reason. However, I do not appreciate you treating my edits as bad faith. If you had a real reason then why were you attacking my motives? Xtra 12:55, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lake Underwood

You are certainly correct, Lake Underwood never participated on a Grand Prix weekend but has tested a F1 car on a off season which doesn't even count towards the FIA statistics anyway. Andreas 17:33, 10 April; 2006

[edit] Joe Marston Medal

Hi. I found a horrible not so optimal :-) edit of you on Joe Marston Medal: [1]. Please do not subst templates like {{cite web}}. This looks awful in the wikisource (the edit window) and is a nightmare to maintain. Wiki greetings, --Ligulem 18:42, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your message and sorry if I sounded a bit rude above. Unsubsting is quite hard to do. That substing behaviour of the category:citation templates is really unsatisfactorily. There is a cool proposal for a "substall" function at bugzilla:2777. Please consider voting there for it. This would exactly do what you were up to.

Substing has the drawback that all changes done on the template after the substing are not updated to what has been substed. This is very important. One has to go around with WP:AWB or some bot to update stuff, which is a real pain. The template mechanism has a built-in bot run. This is damn powerful. --Ligulem 22:20, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:heya

I did SOFT1901 at Usyd in 2004, but my name is not Steve. You might be confusing me with someone else. enochlau (talk) 06:46, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Show/Hide

Yeah, it does seem to be working now. I had a quick look yesterday but didn't have time to get involved. Looking at it now it seem to be fixed because there are more than one show/hide on the page. You can see what I mean if you delete the first table (with two show/hides in it) and preview. I'm not sure why this is but would like to find out someday. - Trevor MacInnis (Talk | Contribs) 00:22, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP A-League player project

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

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

[edit] F1 featured articles

(First off - nice work on Mark Webber, which is currently on portal:Formula One)

The F1 portal (in which I assume you have some degree of interest, as your name is listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject_Formula_One) is intended to have a regular rotation of a 'featured article'. I've swapped a few in and out over the last couple of months, but I think it would be better if there were more of a community attempt at deciding this, proposals, votes, that kind of thing. So - why not pop over to Portal_talk:Formula_One#Suggestions_for_Featured_Article: and make a suggestion. Ta. 4u1e 00:21, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Seeking an opinion

As an experienced Wikipedian with an interest in football pages and a record of work on a Featured Article, your opinion would be welcomed on a discussion at Talk:Swansea City A.F.C.. After various attempts to add a site with no original content, the site's owner has now recruited someone else to do the same. The question is this: am I correct to delete links to sites which themselves consist of others' copyrighted material and links to other sites? Given the paucity of real content, I have a strong suspicion that the site is operated on a "cash for clicks" basis.

I would like, ultimately, to see the Swansea City A.F.C. Wikipage reach Featured standard, so I am inviting opinions from Wikipedians with sustantial edit histories. Thank you for your time. - Stevecov 15:04, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

On June 20, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Jim Hall (boxer), which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] Ta

Thanks for your recategorising the Australian Football catergory, Now it looks much fairer for all three codes. – sliat_1981

[edit] Sport in sydney etc

I have talked to him. I have explained why they should be in both as Sydney United and the lower grade soccer teams are. I think if they are there, so should the other codes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by sliat 1981 (talk • contribs).

Well he edited Newcastle Knights out, yet left Central Coast Mariners in of Sport in New South Wales. Being that they can not be catergorised in Sport in Sydney, I felt a right to put them there. --Sliat 1981 10:31, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Selected articles on Portal:F1

Hello again.

I dropped notes round a while back to those who have listed themselves at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Formula_One to ask for suggestions for selected articles on portal:Formula One. There was a pretty good response, both in terms of how it might work and of articles suggested. Damon Hill came out with the most support and was brought up to Good Article standard after a lot of work by Skully Collins before going on as the F1 portal selected article a couple of weeks ago. It is now at Featured Article Candidates as a Featured Article candidate (why not drop by and see if you can help polish it further?).

Several people who responded to the original request suggested that a monthly or bi-weekly 'Selected Article' could act as a catalyst for an improvement drive to get more articles up to a higher standard. Although it wasn't quite what I had in mind when I started, this seemed to work pretty well for the Damon Hill article, so I've drafted up a process for doing this more regularly. See Portal_talk:Formula_One/Management_of_selected_articles for details. Essentially the suggestion is that we vote for an article to improve every couple of weeks and at the end of the improvement process the article goes on the portal as the new 'Selected Article'. I'd be grateful for any comments on how this might work - I'm sure some of you are more familiar with things 'Wiki' than me - as well as your votes for the next candidate (by 16 July).

You may also want to help with the article Gilles Villeneuve, which was the next most popular after Damon Hill. The idea is to try and get it up to GA standard by 16 July and then put it on the portal as the 'Selected Article'. I hope you can help! 4u1e 15:05, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] (2005-06) Player Project

Hey, I was just wondering whether we should change the "2005-06 Player Project" to the "A-League Player Project", and continuallu update it. I'm currently re-organising the WP:A-L page for you, and hopefully we can make this a very active Wikiproject. Killfest2—Daniel.Bryant 08:25, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and what do you think about this? I hope it doesn't look like I'm trying to take over this Wikiproject, but I'm just trying to make it more active. My apologies if it appears like what I mentioned previous. Feel free to sign the newsletter (if you approve), as you are the co-ordinator. Any ideas, feel free to post here. Killfest2—Daniel.Bryant 11:58, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Do you want me to distribute the newsletter to all involved with WP:A-L? Killfest2—Daniel.Bryant 03:15, 5 August 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).

[edit] A-League Barnstar Proposal

A barnstar for WikiProject A-League has been proposed here by Daniel.Bryant. Feel free to add your opinions.

[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] Thanks

Thanks for your comments on my talk page - much appreciated. I was just getting hacked off at spending time on articles, finding out various facts etc, only for some one else to come along and change things around without contributing anything, declaring "style" as an edit summary. These people, typified today by "Attilios", don't add anything constructive but just take what you've done, something they're not capable of doing themselves, and decide it's not the way they like it. I'll probably be back before long, I don't have much of a life so I'll be bored soon! Cheers. Bretonbanquet 13:54, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
