[edit] Recruitment

I have posted a messaged on User talk pages of anyone who has made a contribution to an Australian Baseball related article inviting them to join the project, anyone else seen editing -adding information, not just a slight correction- any articles related to Australian Baseball should be invited to join. --Dan027 10:30, 26 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Replacing stub tags

I believe these have now all been changed. Ive added the articles in Category:Australian Baseball players, in the near future a Australian Baseballers stub might be required, but at the moment there is only 21(that ive found) articles on Australian Baseball players. --Dan027 10:30, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] International Baseball League of Australia

Is there any information available on this league? I can't find anything on google, most things I find mention the name or they are dead links. I'd like to see this article created, but I can't find any information as of yet..--Borgarde 12:17, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

The broken links are abit of a problem, ive found alot of links and thought id hit the jackpot, alot of searching over many hours just to find the smallest pieces of information. I have one decent source at the moment, there are a number of news paper articles out there aswell.--Dan027 09:42, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
The page states that each year was basically a different competition. One was based with Australian teams and the other with International teams on the Gold Coast. I don't know how to link this into the article, right now I've left it as a stub, incase someone else finds it and has more information. I'll keep searching though to find something to improve it --Borgarde 10:45, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
A source stating the $5millon Nillsson paid for the leagues rights [1].--Dan027 10:35, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] East Belmont Saints

Hey there Baseball fans. I prodded the above article because at the time I looked at it, it was quite small and made no real assertion to notabiliity.

What may have helped it's cause, would be an article for the league it is a member of? If you start the article creation process top-down - Baseball Baseball in Australia Pro Baseball in Australia Pro Baseball Leagues in Australia Pro Baseball League teams in Australia Amateur Baseball in Australia Amateur Baseball Leagues in Australia Amateur Baseball League teams in Australia

Then the previous article lends credability / notability to successive articles, and you don't have to spend as much time defending your work either through removing prod tags, or if an article goes straight to AfD (maybe because someone simply removes a prod tag rather than explaining why).

Since the bot was started which maintains the list at Wikipedia:New articles (Australia), articles are seen almost immediately by a lot more people even when they may be in a pretty minor stage so having the foundation articles already in place will provide a reason for what might easily be mistaken for a school competition team.
