[edit] Article title

Despite the assertion of User:Gentgeen in their edit of 18 Sep 06 ("moved AFL umpires to List of Australian rules football umpires: better title"), I think that the title is misleading.

A List of Australian rules football umpires even of the major Leagues would be far more extensive than the current list, and the intro says that it is in fact a "list of umpires in the Australian Football League". To be more precise, what is listed in this article is actually a list of VFL/AFL umpires. Personally I have no intention in the immediate future of adding a list of SANFL umpires to the current (large) list :) , nor, I suspect, will anyone be adding a list of WAFL or TFL umpires. Perhaps renaming the article to List of Australian Football League umpires or moving it (back) to AFL umpires may be more appropriate?

p.s. Why is the Complete List sorted by first name? Pudgey 11:35, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TBD

At the moment, entry number 20 of the 2006 list is TBD. It seems unlikely that they haven't worked out his name yet, if they let him umpire last year! COuld we at least put his nickname in if we haven't determined his real name? --Scott Davis Talk 08:26, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Actually in 2006 it appears that number 20 was not used - at least according the umpires themselves! AFLUA Shirt numbers 2006
Maybe we should put a non-linked TBD or similar in there? Edit: done. Pudgey 08:52, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References

Some secondary references would aid in asserting the notability of this group of people. It would also help (if it could be sourced) if their first run at the top level and their final appearance could be added to the list (for those who have retired).

A sortable table header would also help I think. 01:12, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
