[edit] WP:AFL

Hi mate, I suggest you join WikiProject AFL if you love your footy, and also take a look at Category:Carlton Blues players and the Portal:Australian rules football. Drop us a line with any questions mate. Cheers, Rogerthat Talk 08:56, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nice work

Nicely done on all these Blues articles in particular mate. Keep up the good work mate, and be sure to spread the word of WP:AFL. Rogerthat Talk 07:20, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Not sure what the "Welcome to Wikipedia" thing was about. I've been here for over a year. Orichalcon 01:02, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
Just noticed there was no welcome message, on first glance I thought you were relatively new. Obviously not :) Rogerthat Talk 04:21, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] West Coast Eagles players

thats a damn good effort adding all those West Coast player articles. how did you make them only a few minutes apart? Remy B 02:50, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

I used a template and a couple of sites with the stats on them, then added the new information onto the template for each player. Takes longer for players that have been to 2 or more clubs. Orichalcon 02:52, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nice

I see you've been told this before, but excellent work on the players for the AFL WikiProject. Sambo2612 13:41, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How to fix the template "Infobox afl player" bug

Hi,

The template "Infobox afl player" you use has currently a bug for the "careerhighlights=" section, which, I see, obliged you to use a BR kludge, such as:

 | careerhighlights= <BR>
* Brisbane Lions Rising Star Nomination 2001
* Brisbane Lions Best First Year Player 2001

Two informations that would be useful for your work:

1) As a temporary kludge, you can have a better result with the infamous NOWIKI kludge:

 | careerhighlights= <nowiki></nowiki>
* Brisbane Lions Rising Star Nomination 2001
* Brisbane Lions Best First Year Player 2001

The difference being that you won't have an empty line any more between the blue header and the bulletted list of highlights. I have used it on Robert Copeland for instance, cf. the new page code.

2) As a permanent fix, see the code for the Template:Infobox Album, which had the very same bug for years (in its bulletted "Professional reviews" section). It was fixed some months ago (see the template's code, or I think it was [[1]] who found the trick), so the solution exists. Fixing your template the same way they fixed their, would allow you to get a perfect result with just the plain code:

 | careerhighlights=
* Brisbane Lions Rising Star Nomination 2001
* Brisbane Lions Best First Year Player 2001

[edit] Humourous

"Australian's spell it humourous"... Not according to my best researches. See [2]. Thanks for your interest. --Spellmaster 15:46, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

I, and everyone else I've known has always spelled it "humourous". So I guess you can bite my arse on that one. It's the Australian spelling, regardless of whether it's in your little american or british dictionaries. Orichalcon 16:24, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
You may want to see a copy of the Macquarie Dictionary, the standard Australian reference dictionary, which lists "humorous" as being correct, or User talk:Spellmaster. It is very unlikely indeed that I would want to "bite your arse", and Wikipedia does not use how you and everybody else you know spells words as a standard, but prefers to go with verifiable references. Best wishes, --Guinnog 01:30, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
You didn't find my "Bite my arse" comment humourous? That's unfortunate. Orichalcon 04:37, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Yes, but more humorous really! --Guinnog 07:11, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Billy Connolly's World Tour of Australia

No problem. It's always easier when the crux of an article is in place, of course. As for the episodes that still need written up: what are you doing today? ;) - Dudesleeper ยท Talk 11:51, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
