[edit] Headings on Sydney Roosters

Hey. I've noticed you've done a lot of hard work on the article Sydney Roosters. Just keep in mind that all headings must use a minimum of two equal signs (==) as per the Manual of Style. Keep up the good work. mdmanser 00:15, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the creation of all those articles about Sydney Roosters players. Would you consider adding Category:Sydney Roosters players to all of them? Thanks. Just add [[Category:Sydney Roosters players]] to the bottom of the page. --Khoikhoi 03:28, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject Rugby League

Gday. You've done some awesome work on a number of rugby league-related articles recently, and I most admire your contributions to Sydney Roosters I've also seen you've done a bit of work elsewhere. If you're interested in developing rugby league-related articles to an even higher standard, you might be interested in joining WikiProject Rugby League. Just add your name to the members list and that's it! Drop me a note here if you've got any questions or concerns about anything in the future. Cheers, mdmanser 10:59, 20 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image Tagging Image:Jackgib.JPG

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Jackgib.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. Sherool (talk) 17:28, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

  1. Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. --Rory096 07:39, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
  2. Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. ⇒ SWATJester Ready Aim Fire! 07:46, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
  3. Please stop removing content from Wikipedia; it is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 07:47, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] copyright

If that page is indeed a copyright violation, this is what you need to do

you must put at the top of that page {{copyvio|url=whatever}}, replacing whatever with the address of the copywritten material. Then, once that is done, that creates a new template on that page. There are further instructions on that template. Merely blanking the content is not the answer ⇒ SWATJester Ready Aim Fire! 07:53, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging for Image:Lion1.jpg

If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

[edit] Roosters Fansay

If you are doing what I think you are doing, which is starting articles for every season with an advertisement for Roosters Fansay at the bottom, please stop. Wikipedia is not an indescriminate collection of information, nor is it advertising space. Thanks. Reyk YO! 10:32, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Roosters fansay was a concept I just started then. I dont know how its advertising if its only just been created. The idea is to get fans to post fact based opinions of highlights of matches. Its to be used as an archive to give more information about games by allowing a large number of people to post what they remember as a large amount of information regarding games 50 years ago is only remembered by the memories of those who have seen it. This is an attempt to get pen to paper to preserve such highlights of the season. I think it justifies its existence. I hope you understand. Sbryce858 10:35, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Ah, I see now. I was under the impression you were trying to advertise a web forum or something like that. But what you're actually trying to do is set up a place where people can come and talk about their memories of games so that the coverage here is as full and extensive as it can be. That's heaps better. Unfortunately, that's still not what Wikipedia is about.
Firstly, Wikipedia doesn't mention its community activities in the articles themselves. That's what talk pages are for. An article should only contain verifiable, and sourced, information on a topic. An article's purpose is only to convey information to whoever is reading it, not to ask that person to do something. Secondly, and this cannot be emphasized enough, an article needs to have reliable sources and unfortunately people who were at the game 50 years ago don't qualify.
I hope you don't take it personally, but Wikipedia isn't the place for Roosters Fansay. Don't be discouraged- just because an idea you've had (and it's not a bad one, really) has had to be rejected doesn't mean Wikipedia doesn't need or want your contributions. On the contrary, someone with your enthusiasm would be a big asset, especially since Australian sport doesn't get the coverage it deserves. Cheers! Reyk YO! 11:04, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
Excellent! Good luck with the project. Reyk YO! 01:44, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re : Protesting deletion

Yes, deletion review is the place you may be looking for. - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 05:34, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Yes, Sydney_Roosters_1911_Season is kept by default when there is no consensus to delete the article. The conclusion of the deletion review by other articles will be determined based on the review itself, though this result may somewhat influence its eventual outcome. - Mailer Diablo 10:25, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sydney Roosters

Hi, The Roosters are out of deletion review, actually. They are at their second AfD now, which is a little overdue, at seven days (instead of five.) This is probably part of a general AfD backlog. I'd rather not close it myself, since -- although I abstained -- I am the titular nominator for the second AfD. Still, I'll keep an eye out, and if they aren't closed by weekend, I'll do it. Best wishes, Xoloz 15:46, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:2005 roosthoopjers.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:2005 roosthoopjers.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sherool (talk) 18:40, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sydney Roosters discussion

Gday Sbryce (Shannon?). You might be interested to know that I've put a few suggestions up on Talk:Sydney Roosters on how to improve the page to reach featured status. I don't believe the article is too far off now thanks to your endless contributions, so it'd be great if we could get your further input to get the article across the line. Cheers, --mdmanser 10:13, 14 July 2006 (UTC) .

[edit] Sydney Roosters - Good Article

Well we finally did it - the article is now considered "good", which means it's one of the top 2000 articles on the site. Congratulations for all the fine work you did, and now it's just a matter of adding a bit more length on the non-history sections to get it to featured. I've also started making a more detailed coaching list that I found somewhere else - it dates back to 1923. I'll add that plus a few pictures hopefully from next weekend's match and that will get it over the line. Cheers, --mdmanser 14:52, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Great contributions

Yeah thanks. I guess you made the basic framework of the article and I've just based it on that. At the moment the featured article candidate is 2/4 votes positive which is a bit iffy. One of the editors wasn't happy with the prose so I've gone over and changed it. With some luck, we might get a few more supporting votes in the next few days. Once this article is made featured hopefully it'll pave way for more rugby league articles too. Who knows, we could collaborate a few featured Sydney Roosters and National Rugby League lists together. Anyway, all the best. --mdmanser 14:04, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
