[edit] Fix problem with ref

Oops i have f*&@ed something up while attempting to correct the record crowd for telsta stadium. Original source http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/content_pages/record.asp?recordid=44555 If anyone knows how to fix it would be appreciated!! Soundabuser 05:23, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

I think it was because there was a space in the nickname of the reference (Guinness Book as opposed to GuinnessBook). Also, sincce it was a new ref, the date has to be changed to 3 May. Good work on digging that up as well! Cvene64 05:42, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Year of first tour of NZ

History section says the Southern RU made its inaugural tour of New Zealand in 1883. Wasn't that in 1882? Any source for 1883? Nurg 08:29, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

I cleaned this up. First of all the World Cup should not be there, as the Wallabies, like every other nation, must either qualify or automatically qualify (qrter finalists) to participate, they are not locked in, like the Tri Nations...same goes for 7s WC. The Pacific Cup is contested by the A team. There is no point having heaps and heaps of club/state comps either, the article details them, the S14 and new comp are the notable ones.Narrasawa 04:55, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Not all nations are allowed to compete in the world cup. Even if Australia didn't automatically qualify, they would participate in the qualifying tournament. However, since they have qualified, they will be competing. --Bob 18:49, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] First game of rugby in Australia ...

Are these references reliable ? They seem to go to rugby portal sites which are themselves low on any reference information and certainly not quality references. --Spewmaster 05:30, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:AruLogo.gif

Image:AruLogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation 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 Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
