[edit] Club names
All club names are entered according to official NRL registers. If people continue to change club names, then I will apply to have this page locked. St George Illawarra are not St George, they are St George Illawarra. The Bulldogs are not Canterbury, they are the Bulldogs. This change was reflected in the Bulldogs team page being renamed also. They have been the Bulldogs officially since 1999.
The only necessary changes needing to be made between now and March 2007 are to the fixtures for the first five rounds. Any other changes will see the page locked. It has gotten to the point where it's bordering on vandalism. Timmah86 10:42, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- Also, Cronulla Sutherland is the name, not just Cronulla. And another is Manly Warringah, not Manly. Thanks. ~~Yellow Sock~~
-
- Technically, these shortenings are acceptable. The hyphens in each name which you neglected to include (ie. "Cronulla-Sutherlang & Manly-Warringah) mean that the primary part of the names are acceptable for shortened use.
-
- Contrastingly, "St George Illawarra" contains no hyphen, so must stand as a "whole" unit (unless speaking of the pre-1998 sides). Gonzerelli 14:21, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Rep fixtures
Should State of Origin, city vs country and the test match be in the fixtures because they are now sss333 00:42, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- Yes they should and yes they are. As the season progresses we will enter links in place of them but for now as a general overview of the season we will keep them there. Timmah86 10:42, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- No, they are not NRL matches. This page is called "National Rugby League season 2007". The National Rugby league does not have the Maroons and Blues teams in it. These are different. People have created separate state of origin pages for each year. This page should just link to that.--Jeff79 23:52, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fixtures
Well done to whoever tidied up the fixture page. Looking far more professional now. I believe we should have a section at the top of the article to document major events of the season such as records broken. For examples, look at previous NRL pages, or those of other sports. Keep up the good work.
[edit] Extra notes
I fully support extra notes being included, for the purpose of including significant events as they relate to each round - for example, the Sonny Bill Williams tackle on Andrew Johns and subsequent send-off. HOWEVER, make sure we follow Wikipedia policies on this!
One of the most important things to keep in mind is the Neutral Point Of View (NPOV). What may seem like a fair summary may in fact not be completely neutral. Please keep this in mind.
Another thing to avoid is editorialising. Unless there is something of significance, we don't need to make a note on every game (that's what the info in the tables is for!). So, in the example above, of course we should note the Williams-Johns incident. However, it is not necessary to say "The Bulldogs went on to lead at half time 18-2, despite being one man down, but Newcastle came back to win the match 25-24" - this would also be quite superfluous.
Please consider this when adding notes.

- If that's the attitude you're gunna take... Then who gives a crap what's written, I won't bother editing it, I'll just delete it and someone else can re-write it.
-
- Seriously, the point is that if you're gunna make an edit, you should do it properly.
