Fair use rationale for Image:Hunter 1997.jpg[edit]

Image:Hunter 1997.jpg 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 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.BetacommandBot 03:38, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Hunter Mariners/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.
Lead
  • I would suggest saying in the first sentence, that they were an Austrlian team. Either "were an Australian rugby league team" or "based in ... Newcastle, Australia".
  • Second, third and fourth sentences all start "The club" I would suggest changing at least one.
  • I'd suggest adding even just one line to explain why they disbanded in the lead. It's a vital part of the club's history.
    •  Done I think. Last sentence of the 2nd lead paragraph.  The Windler talk  08:58, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
History
  • "The New South Wales Rugby League competition (NSWRL) had been formed in 1908 and there was a Newcastle based club in the first two seasons, but eventually left to form their own Newcastle Rugby League." Run-on sentence. I suggest splitting after 1908. It also needs "they" after but.
  • "It was then that News Limited began proposing and deliberating a rival rugby league competition and by the end of the year the current twenty teams which competed in the ARL were split between the Super League and ARL competitions." What does current refer to. I would seriously suggest re-writing this to put a specific time frame on it. See WP:DATE for more details about the use of current.
  • "aligned itself with the ARL and the new competition Super League was left without a Newcastle based team." new competition Super League is worded the wrong way round I think.
  • "members of the Leagues Club" incorrect use of possessive. It needs an apostrophe somewhere, but I'm not sure where, because I'm not entirely sure what you're referring to.
    •  Not done, I'm not entirely good at English. It is referring to members of a club, people of that club.  The Windler talk  09:35, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "In early 1996, the Hunter Mariners club was officially launched, without a home ground," When did they find a ground - it doesn't say anywhere. Where was the ground?

Do you have any images?

    • I doubt there are any, or I don't know of any "free" images. Theres already a non-free image used, so I'm unsure whether if they need images or not.  The Windler talk  09:35, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of things to do, so I'll put it on hold. Peanut4 (talk) 13:57, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Pass/Fail:

A nice short but thorough article. It meets all the GA criteria, although a couple of images would be great. Good luck with further improving the article. If you want to push it on further, I would suggest getting a peer review or asking members of the relevant Rugby League wikiproject. Well done. Peanut4 (talk) 00:37, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Steve Price?[edit]

I thought Steve Price (Now with the Warriors) was part of this team? Because I went to the first game since I was in walking distance. Correct me if I'm wrong or whatever. Adamdaley (talk) 14:41, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps the game you saw was Mariners vs Bulldogs?--Jeff79 (talk) 15:34, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I know, Steve Price never played with the Mariners but players like Willie Mason and Brett Finch were in the lower grade at the Mariners.  The Windler talk  21:56, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Price signed with the Bulldogs in 1994, so never played for the Mariners Mattlore (talk) 22:30, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I can't remember, but I do know I've seen him play once in person. So it must of been the first game of the Mariners. Been a fan ever since though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamdaley (talk • contribs) 07:02, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
