[edit] Cleanup?
Why was the Cleanup message added just then? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hurst553 (talk • contribs).
- The article is full of incorrect grammar, diction, and has a general unencyclopedic tone. It's also missing the necessary citations. I plan on working on it, but the tag lets other Wikipedians know that the article needs to be cleaned up. It also lets the reader know that the article is a mess hoopydinkConas tá tú? 23:41, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- I see, I only added the bit about the Eagles qualifying for 07 but plan to add some more though. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hurst553 (talk • contribs).
- Excellent! You might want to check out WP:RU, by the way. It's a Wikiproject where dozens of rugby fans collaborate on rugby related articles. Cheers hoopydinkConas tá tú? 23:45, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- Wow thats great thanks alot. and I see what you mean now with the article; the first history section actually has nothing to do with the national team at all, and the post-war era is too short and all out of order. as you said it needs work :) User:Hurst553
- All the histories of all the national teams begin with a short explanation of the introduction of rugby. The first international game did not take place in a vacuum and nor do international games generally. The advent of Super 12 had a huge impact on Aus / NZ / SA rugby and their articles refer to it accordingly. Any event which had a major impact of US rugby should be noted and this would include the development of the separate sport of Gridiron.
- The history section is the best that can be written usingly only the internet as a source. It needs expanding but you would probably need a written source in order to do so.GordyB 14:13, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
