The gushing, and the religious bigotry need to be removed. User:Zoe|^(talk) 07:07, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Removed half paragraph about scholarships

I removed the following half paragraph. Na Wahine generally have the full compliment of scholarship players. As I recall that the current NCAA limit is 13 (was 12 for many years). So, in general, most of the players will be scholarship players.

There are a limited amount of scholarship to thie program due to NCAA regulations limit the scholarships to keep the game fair. This means most of the Wahine that play typically are volunteer players.

I don't see how the reference to the article about Kelly Cordray leaving the team [1] served any purpose where it was, since she chose to leave. She wasn't kicked off the team. ManoaChild 04:35, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Actually, I'm not sure what most of the paragraph on discipline adds to the article, since most of what it says applies to any team, in any sport. ManoaChild 04:59, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

After reading the response on User Talk:ManoaChild, this section was intended to be a longer section. However, none of the proposed additions are supported by references, so they cannot be added. The details on the exact type of punishment are really irrelevant to this article, since all of the listed punishments (partial or complete suspensions, dismissal from the team) are employed by all sports teams.

"game face"

This is completely unsourced. The reference is barely relevant.

Wahine are all trained to have a "normal face" and a "game face". Much like the United States Marine Corps, war face. This poker face is often what is seen on the floor on the games. An emotionalless dull expressionless curl the upper lip, "game mode" that allows each player to rush into danger fearlessly. [[2]]

Proposed move

Perhaps this page should be moved to Rainbow Wahine Volleyball or Rainbow Wahine Volleyball Team or something similar? After all, that's their official team name.

Also, I'm tagging this page for clean-up, as it reads horribly, is full of distracting fragments, and some rather useless information. I notice ManoaChild and others have done some work trying to improve the page. I'll try to contribute, too, unfortunately I'm too sick at the moment to do anything useful. 青い(Aoi) 00:17, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Renaming the article makes sense to me. I also agree with the need for further clean up. I was working fairly heavily on it, but I don't have the free time to work on it much now, or in the near future. Anything that you can do will be appreciated. If you're feeling ambitious, you might also want to look at the Dave Shoji article, which I've tagged for cleanup. ManoaChild 01:58, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
