Rugby Union in Fiji
A very nice article. Well done. TheGrappler 20:53, 27 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, a lot of the "rugby union in..." articles are really good work. I think I'll nominate the best of them as Good Articles, if it's not been done already! TheGrappler 09:45, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Richard III (1955 film)
Hey, I've been told by some illustrious fellow at the respective article's FAC, that I need someone with a lot of wikiknowledge to give the article a once over, you know, altering sentences to make them more cohesive, that sort of thing. If you could, it would be much appreciated. ....(Complain)(Let us to it pell-mell) 05:08, 6 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Cvene64, long time no see. The Richard III film article is up for FA right now.  Any comments on what to do right now to get it through the FAC would be most appreciated.  Hope you're doing well man.  Cheers.  --P-Chan 23:00, 12 July 2006 (UTC)


 * No problem dude. And don't forget, August 1st is coming up.  I'm sure we'll all have more to write about soon!  --P-Chan 00:44, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Rugby World Cup
Hey Bob, Where do you think we should mention RWC Ltd. in the article? Do you think you could have a crack at it? Cvene64 09:27, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Somewhere where it talks about host selection and organisation. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about it to do it, or I would have. --Bob 16:29, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Super 14 Champions
GO on #wikipedia (irc) and we can discuss.-- HamedogTalk|@ 02:42, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_channels
 * Well hoopydink agreed with me that they should be seperate, because they were two different comps. Well sort of were anyway. Like when McCaw got the Super 14 trophy, Ian Jones said "the inargraul winners of the super 14" (cuse sp). And the records would become all screwed up because of two extra teams and they link back any way. Just seemed logical for two different lists.-- HamedogTalk|@ 03:00, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The Super 12 and 14 pages can be the same, providing they cover each adiquitly. But the champions articles different, because other wise the records will get screwed up. -- HamedogTalk|@ 03:08, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Plus it gives a level playing field for all teams, like the force and cheetahs, cos at the start they were already 5 championships behind the Crusaders (now 6!) and yeah games played and for and against and all that will be mucked up.-- HamedogTalk|@ 03:13, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah I would be, but rugby union needs to get up to FA status first, I think that is important.-- HamedogTalk|@ 03:19, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * the inline citation needs to be done as well.-- HamedogTalk|@ 03:23, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Russian Superleague
Hello! Sadly there's no article on the Superleague at ru:. The whole coverage of rugby union at ru: is terribly poor, there are 3 articles in the corresponding category; one of them is red card (come on), and the article on rugby union looked like this just under two months ago ;(

Speaking about other sources, I have enough information only to write a stub now. Even finding a list of national champions for Rugby union in Russia was a challenge.

While I'm here, may I ask what are the "A" teams like Argentina A who won the Nations Cup? Are they second teams? Conscious 15:04, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, the honour of expanding the Russian rugby union article goes to User:Edricson. And indeed, I live in Russia (see my userpage). Thank you for you answer and your kind words (by the way, your contributions are great!) Conscious 15:30, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Rugby World Cup image
Was just wondering where you think this image should go: Image:2003 Rugby World Cup Final Match Day Program.JPG. I think the title is pretty self explanitory. BTW, I didn't go, I brought it off eBay. Fell free to upload it where you think is nessecary.-- HamedogTalk|@ 16:03, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * But isn't it okay to use if it is actaully mine (ie I scanned it)?-- HamedogTalk|@ 08:18, 16 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I was looking at the work in your sandbox and was wondering if you think WP:RU should get a template like the football (soccer) people use here: 2006 FIFA World Cup knockout stage?-- HamedogTalk|@ 09:42, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Thats good. BTW, I put Rugby World Cup up for today's featured article. I know you contributed to that quite heaverly, so I hope I am not treading on your ground. It is located here: LOOK HERE CVENE64-- HamedogTalk|@ 11:51, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, thats a good idea. Also, we need to get the Portal up to featured status too, for the world cup - they linked to the soccer portal during theres. William Webb Ellis Trophy is another article that could be at FA status by then, and that would be good to go up.-- HamedogTalk|@ 12:00, 2 August 2006 (UTC) User:Sebcaen is working on the portal too (sort of dragged him over from fr.)
 * Have you seen this: Stephen Colbert on Wikipedia!
 * Kinda funny eh? Look at Elephant and User talk:Stephencolbert. Will do some work this weekend. We should defintally try and get the Tri Nations on the main page when we have a winner too.-- HamedogTalk|@ 13:49, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Will go for a final push this W-E on IRB if you don't mind, then we can change.

I will be on on Saturday and Sunday. I am going to Western Force vs Yamaha Jublio, so will get some photos to upload.-- HamedogTalk|@ 14:30, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

NA4
I think that they're definitely notable teams (similar to the NZ Maiori), so we could create articles for them. I know the Hawks and Falcons are mostly Super League players, so I could create current rosters for each and do a bit of research. Cheers  hoopydink  Conas tá tú? 16:35, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I just started the USA Hawks article. It's a bit sparse, as the infobox wore me out.  I'll flesh it out a bit more in the upcoming days and do the same for the USA Falcons article.  Also, Canada West and Canada East link to geographical regions.  We'll have to use "Canada West (rugby union)" or a similar name for the Canada squads.   hoopydink  Conas tá tú? 21:07, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Pumas logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Pumas logo.jpg. 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 Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images 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. Kevin_b_er 07:15, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Olympic Rugby
I need your help. You seem to be the right guy to talk to after seeing your work on the Rugby union at the Summer Olympics page. (good work by the way.) Anyway, my problem is that there is a user who keeps insisting that Rugby was demonstrated at the 2000 Sydney games, more specifically rugby 7's.  He has posted a couple of links to RUSSIAN articles to back up his claim, but I'm wondering if such a demonstration really took place. Do you know of any such demonstration? Are there any other users who might shine some light on this subject? The links are here : [1] [2]  You are going to have to put them through an online translation is order to read them.

RE: New Super League Teams
Hey there! Yep, both teams are set to join the Super League in the upcoming 2007 season. BIWRFC put out a press release on Tuesday and the Super League official website has both teams being introduced on the front page. It's a great step for the Super League, as the two clubs are among the top four or five clubs in the country. BIWRFC won the Premier Division championship on '03 and '04 and lost to Santa Monica in the finals in '06. I haven't got around to fleshing out the controversy section, but it's quite relevant to the Super League. Aspen RFC was booted out of the competition in the middle of the 2005 season, despite having easily been the best club in the United States at the time. Also, in recent years, the Super League has not been attracting the top US clubs and is billed by USA Rugby as the premier competition in the US. They have certainly taken a step in the right direction by adding the Wolfhounds and the Dolphins, but teams like Washington RFC and Boston RFC routinely fail at the national level. Thanks for the heads up on the NA4 collaboration nominination, also! Cheers  hoopydink  Conas tá tú? 18:30, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Sure, I've seen some controversy stemming from logos, so you definitely made a good decision to remove them yourself. I wouldn't want a rugby related article generating that type of controversy among the larger Wikipedian community.  Great job on the clean up also!  Condensing the references looks a lot better!   hoopydink  Conas tá tú? 20:57, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Rugby versus rugby league
I took the usage from Football (word) which states that rl is not very differentiated from ru in non-rugby playing states who refer to both as 'rugby'. If this is not true I suggest you also edit the aforementioned article.GordyB 14:19, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

RL in France
I have noticed that you have removed all references to RU collaboration in France because the sources are all RL based. I believe that unless you have RU sources asserting otherwise that they should be included. P.S. RU did book a ground only last year to hamper the efforts of a RL test between Aus and France last year so I think you are walking on thin ice just randomnly asserting that it never happenned and that all sources are propaghanda.

You will note that the article that was supposedly "biased", RL1908, sourced their article from. This was stated quite obviously at the top of the article. I believe that you were behaving in EXTREME bad faith on this.

The article clearly states " This year (2002) a French government inquiry found that "influential officials in the French Rugby Federation endeavoured to eliminate the competitor, which they claimed was a deviant form of rugby union."" To remove this on such a basis is extreme bad faith when the evidence was already cited on the page.

All the Best and I hope it was just negligence on your part.

Ireland logo
Is it possible to make the green darker in the logo that we use for Ireland. I ask this because when it is reduced in size the shamrock fades into a green dot. The image that it was based on is probably better for this reason. Would you mind if I sub'd the darker version one into the IRLru and rIRLru templates? --Bob 23:46, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey Bob, sure, by all means go ahead and change it. I was kind of hoping someone would come along and fix it up, as it does look pretty terrible. But do you mean use the shamrock image instead of the flag, or adjust the flag? I don't mind at all, but we should try and keep the actual image the same size as a flag, if you know what I mean..? Cheers. Cvene64 07:47, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, I was thinking about using the darker shamrock image as seen in IRFU. What do you think? I have implemented it. If you disagree, revert then we can discuss at the project talk page. --Bob 23:25, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
