[edit] Foreign language pages
I am in the process of creating a Chinese language page for the Swans on the Chinese Wikipedia; would anyone like to suggest as to what I should put on it?{{subst:image source|Image:2005AFLGrandFinalLogo.png)) Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 23:28, 24 May 2007 (UTC) {{missing rationale2|Image:2005AFLGrandFinalLogo.png
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Sydney80s.png
Image:Sydney80s.png 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.

[edit] Hall
There is a line in the article which states that Hall played in the shadow of Lockett in his twilight years. Hall joined Sydney in 2002, and Lockett retired in 1999. Furthermore, I don't believe they ever played together at St Kilda. Am I reading the line wrongly, or should it be corrected?

- Lockett came out of retirement and played three games in 2002, but I would agree that saying Hall played in Lockett's shadow seems a bit much. It might make more sense if understood in terms of reputation. JPD (talk) 08:58, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

- Indeed. It's the "twilight years" bit that throws me, suggesting it was Lockett playing with Hall rather than the shadow of his achievements (which even then would be debatable).

- I have removed the clause about Lockett's shadow, but the end of the sentence "in his own right" now seems a bit strange. Hall was at first in Lockett's shadow in terms of his reputation in Sydney, which is most relevant to the "cult figure" claim, but I cant' see an easy way to rewrite the sentence.

- I had a go at working around that, outlining that the comparisons were obvious and that Hall had much to live up to, which makes the "in his own right" part make a bit more sense - ie. he no longer has to live up to the achievements of Lockett, but can be appreciated for what he has done himself.

[edit] Sydney vs West Coast
Is it really accepted the rivalry has ended? 12 points is still a close game, and the match was still extremely tight with scores level at half-time. I just don't think that it'd be ok to say the rivalry has ended, until one of them wins by 4 or 5 goals. 220.239.227.179 (talk) 07:36, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- The trend referred to in the article was matches being decided by less than a goal. That trend definitly ended and the section needs rewriting, although it is true that the game was still tight. As for the rivalry between the teams, that is about how fans and others percieve each other, not he objective results, so while close matches should ensure it keeps going, even a 60-point thrashing wouldn't necessarily end it.

[edit] Official Name
What is the Official club name? On this page it has Sydney Australian Football Club. On the AFL page someone just changed it to Sydney Swans Australian Football Club. An ASIC names search shows that Sydney Swans Limited seems to be the operating company name. (Name SYDNEY SWANS LIMITED ACN 063 349 708 ABN 48 063 349 708). The club website has nothing that I can find about it. So what is correct? The-Pope (talk) 14:57, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
