[edit] Netball-stub
Hi - Over at Wikipedia: WikiProject Stub sorting we have just noticed that you've created a new stub, netball-stub. Normally, new stub types are created after a week of discussion at Wikipedia: WikiProject Stub sorting/Criteria, so as to allow debate on whether such a template is needed. Normally, for a stub to be created, it needs to fit in with the current stub hierarchy and naming scheme, and have at least 60 and preferably 100 existing articles which can use the template.
The new stub has been listed at Wikipedia: WikiProject Stub sorting/Criteria#Newly-discovered stub templates. Although netball-stub fulfils the first two criteria, I would be surprised if there were 60 netball-related stubs in Wikipedia. If you would like to comment on the usefulness of the stub 9and also why you've used an image of a butterfly for it!), we'd be keen to hear from you!
(Oh, and also, any new New Zealand articles can be listed at Wikipedia:New articles (New Zealand) - I've added your Southern Sting stub in - and if you're a fellow kiwi, feel free to add your name to the list at Wikipedia:Wikipedians/New Zealand!) Grutness...wha? 10:11, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
- Sorry, didn't know the procedure. There currently not that many pages, there are only the ones that I've created so far. I doubt I will be creating 60 pages, tho.
- Butterfly was used becuase that was what was used in the page I copied code from. I don't have a picture of a netball, and figured the butterfly would do until I changed it. Wanted to commit the page, as I've got many open/being edited at the moment.
- I am a kiwi, but don't feel I'm active enough to add myself to such a list.

OK - well, you know where it is if you change your mind. There's probably a picture of a netball in WikiCommons - I'll have a look and change the icon if I can find one. Grutness...wha? 06:29, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
It's nice to see someone else working on netball-related articles, even if you're not very active - I was quite surprised to find that we already had a few articles when I came across National Bank Cup. I'm currently working on a big expansion of Wikipedia's netball content (including getting our netball-stub back), so anything more you could do would be very much appreciated.
