  • Also started a skeleton Graham Murray article. Let me know what you think about the 'succession boxes' I have added. Will probably use this on all NRL (since 1998) coaches. --User:Cyclone James 13:08, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Created 2001 and 2005 season summaries for NRL. Edited the North Queensland Cowboys article which I originally expanded. Added coaches to competition tables for 2001, 2002 and 2005. Added a suggestion re: finals on NRL discussion page. --Cyclone James 02:56, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Added a little to WIN Stadium article, and also made sure the St George Illawarra Dragons page linked to it. Gonzerelli 02:38, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Completed Parramatta Stadium article. We're getting close to having articles on all the RL stadiums in Australia. I'm going to do one on Henson Park (home of the Newtown Jets) for the next stadium article I do. Before that I'm going to tackle the NSWRL Premier League and going to attempt an expansion of the Parramatta Eels article which is woefully incomplete.

  • Merged the Andy Farrell and Andrew Farrell articles. Could you all give it a once over for typos/grammar? Cheers. Tim Fellows 10:18, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
    • I was doing this just as you were editing it. Spooky. GordyB 10:25, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
      • Nice job on the tidy up. Thanks. Tim Fellows 13:47, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Bristol Sonics and Bedford Tigers added by club reps Tim Fellows 09:46, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Started WIN Stadium article. As well as some minor edits here and there, I noticed that the Queensland Rugby League Central Division has been written in a diary entry style. I tagged it with (inappropriate tone). It was a good article, but anon. users have written things like A great effort boys, you are really great ambassadors for the community. Anyway not sure what to get rid of etc. Maybe some can have a go and then remove the inapp. template. Forever young 07:56, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Expanded the University of Sydney Rugby League page (i.e. the former NSWRL Premiership team from 1920 - 1937) University (Rugby League) and created a page on Parramatta Stadium (unfinished) - User:CumberlandsAshes81 1:40, 25 January 2006 (UTC).
  • Have reverted the vandalism again. What do we do about this if he /she keeps doing it? Tim Fellows 09:49, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Added Nottingham Outlaws page. This had the same problem as Oxford, so i created a disambiguation page. When I get time I'll do this for Oxford. There is also now a page for Wolverhampton Wizards. Tim Fellows 14:11, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Added Oxford Cavaliers rugby league, for the English TRL Conference side. There is some difficulty as there is an Oxford Cavaliers student american football side, which got there first. Any advice on how the rugby league site can be made easier to find? User:StevenDavy 13:20, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[T]he rugby [pages (league, union)] are A1. If I were to be hyper-critical, I might say that they are a little too up to date and don't care enough for history, but that merely reflects the audience, I would suggest. This is what the internet was intended to be: a non-pejorative, apolitical take on everyday life.
