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)

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)

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)

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)

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.

Joeys v Riverview

"This game is broadcast on the ABC every year". Is it really ? I don't think so ? Anyone ? -Sticks66 11:42, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

History of rugby union in Australia

I started a subsidiary article for History of rugby union in Australia in which further history subjects can be developed. The history section in this article is beginning to out weigh the rest of the article, and ultimately this article should serve as an anchoring article for a number of the subsections. I have left numerous points for development at the Talk page, as well as a bunch of resources to turn to for referencing.SauliH (talk) 05:08, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Further to this I made a series of edits and additions to the article, with the intent of providing an article structure that can built towards GA status. Readers will note that these edits were set up with the intent of this article serving as a jumping off point to the subsidiary articles I noted above. with the inclusion of the 'Main Article: xxx placed throughout. Feel free to edit boldly the text I added about each section... I was typing hurriedly. If you have suggestions to improve the article structure beyond/differently to what I have done, then let's open a discussion here about it.SauliH (talk) 06:02, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Third most popular winter sport

What's the basis for this claim? According to the Australian Sports Commission's participation figures, rugby union ranks behind rugby league, AFL and soccer, even in its strongholds of NSW and Qld 1. Admittedly, there is more to popularity than participation figures, and crowd attendance and TV viewing figures need to be taken into account. Still, some kind of justification of this statement in the lead would be useful. Wcp07 (talk) 06:39, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Football in Australia

Just seeking to draw a wider range of informed opinion at Talk:Football in Australia regarding that article's future (whether persisting with the attempt at a comprehensive and well-balanced broad-concept article and how best to achieve that, or returning it to a simple disambiguation page). Cheers.--Gibson Flying V (talk) 02:41, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

Please note, the disambiguate state last existed in 2009.[1] --LauraHale (talk) 12:09, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
