Welcome!

Hello, JRA WestyQld2, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

[edit] Rules

Battrick and Battrick Cup will probably be accepted on Wikipedia but, no thanks, we do not want Battrick Rules. This is source material which you do not want changed! Wikipedia is for colaboratively edited articles about subjects not for the subjects themselves. -- RHaworth 13:40, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] North Queensland Cowboys Userbox

Hey, glad to see you support the NRL. I recently changed your custom Cowboys userbox to a new standard Cowboys userbox. I hope you enjoy the new box! mdmanser 02:54, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Cowboys Userbox

Yeah originally the userbox did have a picture, but a Wikipedia copyright flaw was later pointed out by User:Kelly Martin. The Wikipedia copyright policy states that Fair Use images (such as the Cowboys logo) are NOT to be used on User pages. So yes, I did change your userbox to the new one with the logo, but it has since been reverted to a box without an image, and I can't see images being allowed on userspace for quite some time. Cheers. mdmanser 07:42, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject Rugby League

Gday, I see you're interested in Rugby League, so I would like to invite you to the WikiProject Rugby League, which aims to make Wikipedia the world's foremost reference on rugby league in terms of both quantity and, most of all, quality. If you're intersted in helping out, feel free to join at any time, and drop a note on my user talk page at any time if you may have any questions. Cheers, User:Mdmanser 05:57, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Final Destiny06 (web).jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Final Destiny06 (web).jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam ^(T/C) 00:19, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia:Community Justice!

Thanks for joing Community Justice! 11:59, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please see the argument against 'merge' of the two butterflies

You had placed a merge on Delias descombesi for suggesting a merger with Delias sanaca. They are valid species of Jezebel butterflies found in India. I have placed the technical or scientific argument on Talk:Delias descombesi. However, I submit some more information to help you place things in context.

These stubs have been manually created by me for adding information on Indian butterflies. Please See List of butterflies of India (Pieridae). I have created a stub for each species of that family which is listed there. We shall shortly be adding photos and information over the next three months. We are in the process of doing so so for other families also, for example Papilionidae.

These stubs are necessary as we get a lot of information from Indian naturalists supporting our cause in the form of books, references, and photos. These come in bits and spurts so we need all the stubs up beforehand so that the information and images can easily be loaded.

Our endeavour, List of butterflies of India is a proposed project under Wikipedia:WikiProject Arthropods. We have placed over a hundred photos on Wikimedia Commons in support of our endeavour on Indian butterflies.

Since we have a well thought out and deliberate plan adhering to all Wikipedia usages and conventions, I request you to kindly remove the merge tag.

An example of the kind of good (I hope :) ) work that we are doing can be seen at :-

Regards, AshLin 06:44, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for removing the 'merge' tag. AshLin 09:46, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Community Justice Newsletter

Community Justice Newsletter

Welcome
Previously, various notices regarding Community Justice have gone out to our members; though this is the first actual newsletter. This issue will contain information regarding decisions made on the first meeting, our new council, and more...! If you wish to unsubscribe to future newsletters, please add your name to Wikipedia:Community Justice/Do Not Spam.
New Council
Following our first elections, a new council has been elected.Computerjoe and Ian13 remain as chairman and chief executive (respectively); while Eddieh, Wiki alf and Xchrisblackx are replaced as councillors by Ilyanep, Osbus and Covington. The Giant Puffin and Pureblade remain as councillors.
Member Conduct
In the last meeting, the conduct of 4 members were discussed. Ethnopunk will be put on probation, supervised by Ian13, if he/she is uncivil during this probation, he/she will be expelled from WP:CJ; the same was decided for Misza13 (voluntarily), and his probation will be supervised by Computerjoe. No action will be taken against Computerjoe.
Barnstar
The Civility Barnstar which our member's have designed has been sent to Barnstar and award proposals. We'd appreciate your feedback! Also, we are planning to make a Community Justice barnstar to give to hard-working CJ members. If you're a budding designer, consider trying to make it, then post your proposal to WT:CJ!
Name and logo change
There has been no consensus reached regarding changing our name and/or logo neither at WT:CJ nor at WT:CJ/M/1. While suggestions are still welcome, no action will be taken at this time.
Programs
We are going to try to create programs to more actively involve our members. If you have any ideas, please drop a line at WT:CJ. We will try to work with WP:ESP on one of these programs, at some point in the future.
Thanks!
Thank you for your time. If you need anything, feel free to comment at WT:CJ or come into our IRC channel [1]. Computerjoe wishes to extend his thanks to User:Robchurch, a non-member who assisted in making {{tracker}} redundant, as well as Misza13 for his continued support and to the whole of this and the previous council. This newsletter was delivered by CJBot, written by Computerjoe, with technical help from Misza13. Computerjoe 's talk 19:30, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Concordia newsletter

Concordia Newsletter

Community Justice is no more. It has been reformed to Concordia. Membership has been transferred.

Concordia is an organization of editors on Wikipedia that strive to encourage civility and fair treatment among all editors in the Wikipedian community, from the Wikignome to the Wikiholic. The project was designed to have a friendly and helpful environment to support any unfortunate Wikipedians that have become victims of incivility, hostility, or continual disrespect.

We currently need help in getting going, and making the community understand our aims. We work for civility. Nothing more, nothing less.

If you have ideas, let us know at our talk page, or on the IRC channel. We aim to spread civility in every way we can.

Should you wish to unsubscribe to future newsletters, please add your name to Wikipedia:Concordia/Do Not Spam.

Thank you for your time. If you need anything, feel free to comment at WT:CCD or come into our IRC channel [2].

[edit] Hey there

Thanks for commenting on my RfA...it was greatly appreciated! --Osbus 21:24, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AFL sucks

There is no such sport as "AFL" - it's actually called Australian rules football. It'd be like me calling your sport the "NRL". R o gerthat ^Talk 08:52, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I'll watch the Origin game of NRL then in your honour mate. Hahaha :) R o gerthat ^Talk 10:25, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding {{notability}} placed on Battrick

The article lacks links to other reliable sources (excludes forum and blog posts) that discuss the website in detail. The first criteria of WP:SOFTWARE says, "Web specific-content is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria: 1. The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself.". Sadly, the other articles you mentioned, Kings of Chaos and OGame, also fail this criteria. Hattrick barely passes (it has a sizable "References" section, but whether these links are all from reliable sources, I haven't looked in detail).

That said, I'm not about to go on a rampage nominating lots of website articles for deletion anytime soon, although someone else may probably do so. Many website / online game articles we have may be non-notable. :( Kimchi.sg 16:14, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

To me, that link looks okay. As for what's a reliable source, some reading on how to find one is at Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Kimchi.sg 08:51, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Baseball

Cheers mate. If you want to help out with any of the Baseball in Australia and Australian Baseball League pages feel free to or leave a note on my talk page if theres anything u could contribute with, the biggest problem im having is finding photos of teams uniforms so i can make the uniform pictures like on Waverley/Melbourne Reds page and with venues that were used and also results from each seasons. --Dan027 07:55, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Thats preety good then, hopefully you can find out abit more info on the Bandits background aswell, any chance of photos then? --Dan027 07:04, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rugby League Ball Questions

I'd take a picture of any type of ball, beat up or clean. I'm using it for the Portal:Rugby League and Portal:Rugby. I live in the US, so the only exposure to the game here is Union, but Setanta Sports are now showing league games (mainly the UK stuff, although I did catch the 3rd state of origin match). I created the Rugby Portal, and subsequently the Rugby Union and Rugby League Portals to try and encourage any and all rugby players/supporters to get rugby articles featured on Wikipedia. That is my end aim. Does that answer your questions? Thanks for your response. Cheers! Rowlan 13:51, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Batrick Cup

Hi ... sorry it's my fault, I should have left a note on the article's discussion page, but I somehow must have forgot!!!! Anyway the reason why I added the context tag is because I didn't have a clue what sport was being played, until I got to the bottom and saw what category it was in. I know absolutely nothing about the subject so I decided to tag it, so that someone who does know can rectify the problem. Cheers !!! DavidHumphreys^{SPEAK TO ME}ABOUT_{THE THINGS I MESSED UP} 22:16, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hattrick & Battrick

Hey mate, concerning what you asked me, yea, I've played Hattrick for 4 years now, also been a GM there. ;) It's really a great game although I find it gets kinda boring over time. I've also tried Battrick but I don't even know cricket's rules, lol, so I ended up quitting. About the deletion nazis, well, I guess they've got nothing better to do. Hopefully our articles get kept. Cheers aenariel 11:14, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rugby League Template

Na of course I dont mind. Go right ahead and post it on the discussion page if you want, that'd be fine. --Sahafan 08:19, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rugby League Ball

Brilliant! Cheers. That picture was previously on here, but someone took it down...Let's hope it flies a bit under the radar for now. You can see what I've done with it here: Portal:Rugby. Again thanks for your help. Rowlan 14:00, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Talk alteration

I'm not sure what you're referring to - could you clarify? Thanks, Tewfik^Talk 06:26, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

I was actually talking about a different page. What exactly is the problem that you've had with the user? Tewfik^Talk 06:43, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, I don't have time to take care of this now, but if you go to WP:3O, they may be able to help. Let me know if it works out. Tewfik^Talk 15:54, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Australian Baseball League in 2007

how awesome ay? check it out here [3]. i guess we will have to make some improvements and re-writes to the ABL article and main Baseball Australia article. --Dan027 08:41, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah can't wait! There is going to be some pro's over here agian. Not much information is out yet though, I guess we have to wait --JRA WestyQld2 06:59, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:A.Thompson.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:A.Thompson.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 16:00, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Concordia Newsletter

NEWSLETTER

Concordia is currently trying to relaunch. I, and all the members of the ex-council, wish to welcome new members to the group. We are a group who aim to promote remaining civil, in an environment where messages can easily be interpretated wrongly.

[edit] Help out now!

Try and help people remain civil! Talk to them, and help them in any way possible. Do not be afraid to use the talk page.
Give people the Civility Barnstar.
Make and spread some Wikitokens so people know there are people to help if they want assistance.
Add banners or logos to your userpage to show your support.
Suggest some ideas! Add 'em to the talk page.

We are a community, so can only work though community contributions and support. It's the helping that counts.

[edit] Decision Making

The council expired one month ago, but due to the current position of the group the current council will remain until the position of the group can be assessed, and whether it would be sensible to keep Concordia going. For most decisions, however, it will be decided by all who choose to partake in discussions. I am trying to relaunch because of the vast amounts of new members we have received, demonstrating that the aims are supported.

If you wish to opt of of further talk-page communications, just let us know here.
