[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/North Carolina Tigers

Hello Rulesfan. The result of the deletion debate was that the Tigers are not notable enough of their own right to warrant and article, so the relevant info should be placed in the United States Australian Football League. Thanks, Blnguyen | rant-line 04:37, 24 July 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] License tagging for Image:Ben holland.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ben holland.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 01:04, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Wikify AFL

I saw you made that template. Its a nice idea but we already have no end of cleanup templates - one more specialist one isnt goign to help really. Us guys at WP:WWF feel that one wikify template is the limit for us. Sorry. The template was redirected to {{wikify}} so it will work in the same way as that tag. Cheers, and keep up the good work! --Errant Tmorton166^(Talk)(Review me) 09:31, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

		Nice work on adding information, expanding articles and most importantly, adding images of many Australian rules footballers. Good work mate, Rogerthat Talk 11:51, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

• I'll have a go at expanding the Italian version! πίππύ δ'Ω∑ - (waarom? jus'b'coz!) 04:21, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] O'Dwyer quote

To delete correct and fully referenced information from an article is very bad form. Furthermore, you took the O'Dwyer quote from Australian rules football, without pointing it out in either the edit summary or on the talk page. That is sneaky and very bad manners. Especially as you knew my reasons for putting it there -- we had just discussed it at Talk:Gaelic football and you did not object. You may not agree with O'Dwyer's point of view but you can't deny that it is a POV that is held by many people in Australia and Ireland. Grant65 | Talk 12:35, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks mate for your 2 cents, but I think you should write about things that you actually know something about. --Rulesfan 02:34, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spam

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion.

See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. // Pilotguy (Cleared to land) 03:54, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
