Football/Soccer
Well, soccer is called football in most parts of the world, except possibly America/Canada and Australia (because of the existence of American football and Australian rules football respectively). That is why the word football is used throughout in Wikipedia. Cheers! --May the Force be with you! Shreshth91 16:50, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Redirects
I saw you comment on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Rugby league page and then went to look at your user page. I take it you didn't realise that the link you have stating "national football team" goes to List of men's national football (soccer) teams? That's not a very good redirect and I'll try and fix it. Also, I changed the "Kangaroos" to redirect to Kangaroo (disambiguation) and restored the "Wallabies" to a disambiguation.
- Ok done most of it. "National football team" is a redirect to List of national men's football teams and it includes both league and union besides soccer. "Kangaroos" redirects to Kangaroo (disambiguation) as there are at least three different meanings for the plural. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 12:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Rugby was not the first form of football to be played in Australia
I refer to your recent edit to the Cultural cringe article where you removed the Aussie Rules section stating that it was irrelevant because Rugby football is the older Australian code (was played in Australia first). This is quite wrong. Aussie Rules was first played in Melbourne as early as 1858 and the Melbourne Football Club was formed in the same year, writing down the rules of the game a year later. Whereas Rugby football, an imported game, was first played in Sydney in 1864 when the Sydney University club was formed. It may be older in Sydney, where Aussie Rules was not introduced until 1877, but Sydney is not the whole country. Perhaps you would care to discuss your point of view in Talk:Cultural cringe --Biatch 00:51, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- I had mistakenly thought you had added a comment to the article page rather than the talk page. I reverted myself. Now I have a question for you. Are you Licinius? Hesperian 12:24, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Disambiguations
Hi. Please take a look at Wikipedia:Disambiguation. NRL is a clear case of a useful disambiguation. Please stop turning it into a redirect to only one meaning. Hope this helps, -- Infrogmation 14:30, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
