Speedy deletion nomination of Frederick Jenkins

A tag has been placed on Frederick Jenkins requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Aaron Davey Edits

your edits on the Aaron Davey page were terrible. you make a heading for each season yet only write a quick sentence for 2 of the years. atleast add a few lines about the year.. muppet —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vernex3 (talk • contribs) 09:58, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

" I also did it in the hope that someone (clearly not you) would expand on each year and reference it properly rather then me just trying to remember what he did in those years"

In the hope? Thing is what happens if no one decides too?. Atleast look over his stats or converse with someone, google him, view demon message boards. How hard would it be too search for some info and atleast construct a few sentences for the years ??

Funny thing is the following is posted under the 2006 heading is 2007 info! was that one your brilliant edits again on the Davey page?

Despite the Demons horror season Davey produced a career best game in round 7 against the Western Bulldogs collecting 29 disposals and kicking three goals, for which he received two Brownlow Medal votes, the equivalent to second best on ground.

As the season continued the Demons struggled, Davey's increasing aggression saw him suspended for two games for striking Brisbane Lions Troy Selwood at the GABBA in round 15.[7].

St Kilda FC

How is "Australian football" ambiguous?
When said in the sentence:

premier Australian football league in the country. --60.230.99.179 (talk) 12:11, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
Because you changed it from premier Australian rules football league to premier Australian football league in the country, which makes it appear as if there are other leagues (situated somewhere else in the world) that are more premier than the AFL. Also the game is consistently called "Australian rules football", not "Australian football". Jenks24 (talk) 12:19, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
But I always call the game "Australian football" or "football" never "Australian rules football". Besides the official name of the game is Australian football and the common name for it is football, not Australian rules football. So having "rules" included in the sentence superfluous.--60.230.99.179 (talk) 12:30, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
I always call the game "footy", but that doesn't mean it's appropriate on an encyclopedia. The official name of the game is Australian rules football (as shown by the name of the page) and the first sentence of the AFL page reads "The Australian Football League (AFL) is the governing body, and the top tier professional competition in the sport of Australian rules football." Also nearly every page on an AFL player will say they are an "Australian rules footballer", because there are many different codes called football played in Australia. Jenks24 (talk) 12:37, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
No, the official name of the game is "Australian football" see the AFL website Australian Football (Official title of the code), which states that the official name of the game is "Australian football". Anyway, maybe it's unnecessary to have that sentence after "Australian Football League" there at all. --60.230.99.179 (talk) 12:46, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, I agree that's what its official name may be, but my point was that throughout Wikipedia its called "Australian rules football" so I thought it should be called that for consistency and to help international readers unfimiliar with the game understand. You might be right about whether its unnecessay though and if you want to remove that bit I won't stop you. Jenks24 (talk) 12:59, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Retirement

As of 18 August, 2010, I will leave forever. It seems I am being bullied on here. After all the work I have done with no credit at all. I will not put up with this no longer. No help from admins, just wanting to block me, why don't you "help" me instead of "picking" on me? I made my mide up basically after I was blocked last time, I almost left but didn't and came back for week and now I am being treated like a person who came out of jail. I'm only aloud to make an edit to page a day, if I am being treated that way it is pointless to return. After 1 year, 5 months, 27 days, "goodbye". Please leave a goodbye message on discussions page if you please. GuineaPigWarrior Forever!

I'm sorry to hear that. We need all the editors we can get at WP:AFL, even if you and I disagreed occasionally. Jenks24 (talk) 06:21, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Laurie Nash - almost at FA

Hey there; noticed you made some edits to Laurie Nash - good stuff. You may already know that I put the article up at Peer Review a few months ago and got some feedback at Wikipedia:Peer review/Laurie Nash/archive1. I've done some work towards addressing all the concerns but a combination of work/ill health has slowed me down. If you had a few spare minutes and wanted to look at the Peer Review, that would be great. Cheers --Roisterer (talk) 08:16, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Coleman Medallists

Could you please correct the info boxes for VFL seasons 1897 - 1954 ? There was no Coleman Medal awarded for those years. It was retrospectively awarded for each season in July 2004 and is known as the Leading Goalkicker Medal. Thanks. RossRSmith (talk) 00:35, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Skeletons...

I noticed that you blitzed the list of Wikipedia:WikiProject Sports/Skeleton racers unreferenced BLPs the other day. Thank you very much for your help. I've help setup and track all of these lists, and I was wondering if anyone else actually looked at them or used them. If you want to do any more, Wikipedia:WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons/WikiProjects lists them all, and I've also made lists by topic - sports and games, regional and political, music and everything else (Art, Entertainment, Religion, Science etc), as well as the jumbo WPBio taskforce listed here. Thanks again for your efforts. Cheers The-Pope (talk) 15:00, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, but it's nothing on the mountain of work I've seen you do on unrefed BLPs. Yeah I'll try and do some more when I get some spare time on my hands :) Jenks24 (talk) 15:23, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Templates

I think WP:NAVI is quite clear that there must be a clear justification for the use of non-standard colours. In these instances, the only reason the colours are being used is because they vaguely match the kit colours of the team. In my opinion, that is hardly a valid reason to introduce non standard colours. The whole reason for using standard colours is that when we start mixing new, untested colours, we create potential problems for people with visual problems. Personally I find that the random colour schemes just look a mess. We do not lend undue weight to anything, and so there is no reason to colour code AFL team infoboxes but not others. If we were to start encouraging such colour-coding, then every sports team, band, musician, politician etc etc would have their own differently coloured infobox or template. While this may look pretty, it certainly would not look professional or neutral. So I don't think any colour scheme should be applied, and I see no reason why a compromise colour scheme needs to be used. See also, WP:ICONDECORATION "one reader's harmless decoration may be another reader's distraction". Cheers, Nouse4aname (talk) 17:11, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

I have taken a quick look around a few articles and found that the use of such colours is far more widespread than I had thought. For instance, all the Premier League clubs seem to have "colourful" nav boxes, so perhaps your compromise colour code may be a good idea after all... Nouse4aname (talk) 17:18, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

RE: Australian Football Media Association Player of the Year

Hi there, thanks for the message. I was under the impression that Dane Swan won the award (I remember reading this somewhere I'm sure), however, like you, can't find anything that backs this up. I'll keep looking though, Allied45 (talk) 09:53, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Dash vs negative sign

Are you sure about this edit? Those are negative numbers, so I think the minus sign was correct, no? –xenotalk 13:42, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Xeno; I refactored your diff to use {{diff}}; I encourage its use, along with {{oldid}} to avoid flipping users to or from the secure server. That results in lots of revealed IPs ;). This should be SOP on things like AC and RFC pages; and refactoring should be SOP, too. See: User:Snottywong/diffconverter. Cheers, “Gold Hat” 20:06, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
I just had a look at MOS:DASH again and, as far as I can tell, they were originally hypens eg - and the script actually changed them to minus signs eg − which is what they now are. For example sub in − instead of what is currently there and you will find there is no difference. Cheers for the concern, Jenks24 (talk) 13:56, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
- − Seems I'm just learning that - is not a true minus sign. Cheers ;> –xenotalk 14:21, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I'm late to the party; as I said, briefly, on my talk, I thought that it was a change from hyphens to endashes, not to minus entities; my edit was off, but my edit summary on. I'm sure you're aware that there are millions of hyphens in use out there in lieu of proper minus character entities. Please to meet you Jenks; drop by my talk any time; it was recently referred to as a technical reference desk ;) Cheers, Jack Merridew 20:06, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

My conduct

Hey. Just wanted to apologize for yesterday. Saw the tags being changed and couldn't figure it out since there were no citations, or external links in a few of them (later noticed them in the infoboxes). Not sure why that set me off, but it did; I think I saw it as a cheap why to get the unreferenced count down, because I'm willing to bet that if this backlog's clear, the other ones will just be ignored, and those articles will just sit there without improvements yet again. Replacing one tag with another may not be ideal, but I should've just let it be. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 03:57, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, replied on your talk. Jenks24 (talk) 11:25, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Potaski

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me to further develop the Joseph Potaski page? I didn't create the page but believe it should stay, I am however fairly new to wiki and was seeking some advice or assistance thanks. 143.238.0.177 (talk) 10:30, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Note?

What was the problem here? I doubt he was watching WT:NASCAR, where the note was normally given, and I didn't force him to comment. I said you are welcome to comment. I was just saying because he is one of the projects editors. I would have also told other users, but it appeared like they were watching the projects talk page. Please explain. Nascar1996 14:16, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

After reading your comments several times, you seem to say I asked them to support. No I didn't, I asked them to add their comments, which could have been delete or keep. I don't really care if the race is deleted or not, but per the reason it is notable. I also know where most of the sources are. Ask the other editors inwhich if I told them to do anything. Remove their votes, if you'd like, remove mine too if you want. I now that I didn't mean to do anything there. If that was convassing, why wasn't the edit to WT:NASCAR one too; it was practically the same comment. Nascar1996 14:30, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
Ok, first off, I'm not saying the article shouldn't be kept. I haven't had a close look, but on the surface of things, it appears that it probably should. Secondly, I apologise if I came across a bit harsh. Also, I didn't notice that Wayne Slam was a member of WP:NASCAR and that he had edited the article before. That is definitely my fault. While I'm 100% sure you placed the note in good faith (and I'm sorry if it didn't come off like that in my note on the AfD), it has resulted in three editors coming to the discussion, all of whom !voted keep (the same view you had expressed) and two simply !voting "per Nascar1996". I now see that I was mistaken and I was not meaning to imply that the wording of your your note was not neutral. I will strike my comments at the AfD as I see that I definitely jumped to conclusions. Jenks24 (talk) 04:47, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
Its okay, it happens, but next time you may consider looking at the receiver of the message first and see if they have edited the article or something. They said 'per Nascar1996' probably because where I am the editor who now create the articles, such as one of my creations is 2010 Ford 400, and I have a similar level of expertise in that subject. Furthermore, I know where most of the references could be, which I found the main ones. I could expand it to a similar size as the link given in this message, which has a change for good article criteria, so I wouldn't say as of now it needs deleted. Which as I said in a previous message, I'm not really caring about the article. If I have time I may be able to expand the article, but it isn't looking too good. Please don't feel discouraged since you made a mistake. All humans make mistakes (I doubt you are a robot). Its nice to meet you. Happy editing. Nascar1996 20:24, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Jack Mack is the stage name of a famous singer of the 1980's. Jack Mack is also an obscure Australian footballer.

Ok, I've fixed up the hatnote on Jack Mack, after looking through the Max Carl article. To be completely honest though, it was pretty difficult to find that Carl was known as Jack Mack, only that he played with Jack Mack and the Heart Attack (and there was no indication that he was the "Jack Mack" of the band).

202.70.114.83 (talk) 13:59, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm not an administrator, so it wasn't me that deleted the article and also, because it has now been deleted, I can't see what the contents of the article were. It was User:NawlinWiki who deleted the article, so perhaps it would be better to bring up your concerns him/her. Jenks24 (talk) 14:06, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

But a message was sent with your name on it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.70.114.83 (talk) 14:09, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Ah, I'm assuming you are User:Uperesa Elisara Fakava. Yes, I did propose the article for deletion because it was a biography of a living person that did not reference any reliable sources and yes, I did notify you about that. However, that was not why the article was deleted. User:NawlinWiki, who I still think you should take this up with, deleted the article under A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion because the article had "no explanation of the subject's significance". I cannot see the article, as it is now deleted, but I can tell you that it was deleted twice more, one of those times for being a hoax. I'm afraid I can't help you any further and advise you to bring this up with the deleting admin, User:NawlinWiki, if you seriously think that the article should not have been deleted. Cheers, Jenks24 (talk) 14:23, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Categories

Hey. With someone like Neitz I'd give him two categories, one for Tasmania and one for Victoria. I've had to do that with a few others too, like Nick Riewoldt who spent his early childhood in Tassie before moving to the Gold Coast. He seems to be considered both a Tasmanian and Queenslander. I created the NT and ACT categories just now so they're ready to be populated. Only reason I didn't create them with the others was because I was unsure of the wording needed. Cheers. Jevansen (talk) 06:48, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Great Southern FL

I reversed your move because it blocks the probability of the creation of an article for the GSFL in Western Australia. Just because there isn't an article yet, doesn't make the disambiguation unneccessary. It can cause confusion for new readers looking for the league in WA and finding the SA league, which is what they don't want to read. Footy Freak7 (talk) 00:40, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Barry Fitzgerald

Thanks for your attention to this subject, and for getting in touch. I know Barry personally, which is how I knew his place of birth, but I do not have a reference for this information. He did not spend a significant amount of his time in NSW during his childhood, so I don't think it would be appropriate for him to be categorized as a NSW player. Hope that helps. Thanks again.

Hey, here's another I just came across: The Pro-Wailing Wall Committee. That sounds like a wall committee that's in favor of wailing, when in fact they're a committee for the Wailing Wall.

AFL Infobox

Is it just my computer, or does the AFL infobox suddenly look different (narrower)? On the Ilija Grgic article for example, regardless or how large I have my browser, the Coast from West Coast appears under the West and Goals under Games etc. It's probably just something wrong on my end because the infobox hasn't been edited since 3 Feb but just thought I would check? Cheers. Jevansen (talk) 14:53, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Hmmm. I just had a look around the wiki help pages and one guy complained that said some navboxes have suddenly changed. The explanation was that the default infobox width was reduced in this edit at MediaWiki:Common.css. I'd presume that is the reason so we'll probably have to adjust our infobox somehow. You any good at this kind of stuff? The two guys who usually edit the AFL infobox don't appear to be active anymore so it may be best to just to ask someone at the Village pump to help out. Jevansen (talk) 15:25, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Looking at the edits of those who know better than us, I saw that they added "width: auto;" to the style="font-size: 85%; width: auto;" bit... and it seems to have fixed the problem. Glad we're all stalking each other's talk pages and contribs! The-Pope (talk) 15:42, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
Nice work. It now looks how it should. Jenks, you may have to clear your cache. I remember a couple of times in the past when the infobox has been altered it took a while for the changes to come up on my screen. It should be fine next time you log in. Jevansen (talk) 15:58, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Want to really test WP:NSPORTS?

I was a bit disappointed that the Ron Ainsworth RL AfD was closed by a non-admin, would have been good to get a decent precedent (I know OTHERSTUFFEXISTS etc), but from Roisterers latest list of debuts, this Redlink jumped out at me for some reason, and he'd be the ultimate test of WP:NSPORTS! There is a bit of info online about him, being elevated, delisted, playing at lower levels, but his (lack of) performance at AFL level is almost too tempting to pass up! So, Jenks & Jevansen... what would come first a DYK appearance or an AfD! The-Pope (talk) 16:20, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Hah, just looked him up and noticed that he had a grand total of zero possessions at AFL level :) But in answer to your question, yes I definitely think we could get him to DYK (and hopefully not get taken to AfD on the main page). I've created a one game player before, but at least he kicked a goal in his one match. Jenks24 (talk) 16:34, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
Amazing work, if only he got as many AFL possessions as he's got references! So do you want to submit the DYK application, or go straight to GA nomination?!?! The-Pope (talk) 14:47, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
Haha thanks :) I was thinking about DYK, but I couldn't really think of a good hook, as I couldn't find any reference that actually said something like he was the only player never to have AFL possession. Do you have any suggestions? As for GA, I think it's quite a way off (and I doubt it would ever get there as this is all the information I could find)... Jenks24 (talk) 14:53, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Jack Trengove

Thanks for telling me, I have seen the "1","2" things etc and I thought that might be the reason you deleted it, no proof. I tried to find the article from the local paper where i read it from but it isn't on the internet. But yeah it is true and thanks for the help, im a n00b on here. I just signed up to fill in a few footy players pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adelaidecrowsrdabest (talk • contribs) 10:34, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Just wondering if you could please assist to get it overturned as there seems to be enough sources. I don't want to touch the discussion any further, as for me it would be a conflict of interest situation. Thanks. Whitewater111 (talk) 03:38, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

List of Romanichals

I've removed the speedy delete template from this list as it appears perfectly valid (even if considered as a sub-set of List of Romani people). RashersTierney (talk) 12:28, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for informing me, I was just about to come ask you about this. So, what you're saying is that Romanichals are a sub-set of Romani people, yes? Because when I tagged the page I thought Romnichals and Romani people were synonymous. Jenks24 (talk) 12:33, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
Romanichals are generally considered of Romani origin, though long settled in Great Britain particularly in England and Wales, where they have developed their distinctive traditions over centuries. The terms are certainly not synonymous. Thanks for keeping a weather eye out though. Best. RashersTierney (talk) 12:44, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
Ah ok then. Thanks for clarifying. Cheers, Jenks24 (talk) 12:47, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

South West Challenge Cup

Hi there - just with regard to your disambiguation of Appledore to Appledore, Kent in this article - I suspect it's supposed to be Appledore, Torridge, Devon. The tournament was held in Devon. Cheers, Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:56, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Ah, thanks for letting me know. I'll go fix that now. Cheers, Jenks24 (talk) 18:59, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Notable and Non notable

Dear Jenks,

I am not that much aware about notable and non notable in wikipedia. Please explain the creteria that an article is notable and non notable?

Thanks --Bijuts (talk) 12:14, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

I think these are required for notability of Chennai – Trivandrum Superfast Express http://www.hindu.com/2006/07/01/stories/2006070111140400.htm, http://www.hindu.com/2006/08/14/stories/2006081414410300.htm, http://www.hindu.com/2010/04/24/stories/2010042452690800.htm Hindu.com is the website of second-largest circulated daily English newspaper in India The Hindu. --Bijuts (talk) 12:42, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Mountain Empire

Hi - I noticed you tagged the Mountain Empire (disambiguation) page with a dab notice. Someone else did, too, which I thought I'd fixed, but maybe I don't know exactly what the issue is. Can you help? Thanks. Dohn joe (talk) 20:06, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick response. You learn something new every day on Wikipedia! Dohn joe (talk) 20:18, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Stan Reid

Thank you for brining this matter to my attention. I have just checked the "Family Search" International Genealogical Index (at http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp). Its records (essentially those assembled by the Mormon Church) indicate that a SIBYL MARY REID was born on 12 FEB 1868 in Edinburgh Parish, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland to JOHN BENTLY REID and SIBYL ROSS DREWRY. Therefore, from this, I am quite certain that this new amendment is correct.

Given the times, it may well have been that the child died in infancy (or, as many children did, she may well have died of a disease such as dysentery, on the voyage to Australia) and this would explain:

(a) why this record of SIBYL MARY REID does not indicate the existence of any siblings, and
(b) why my searches relating to Stan Reid's family did not indicate that there had been a SIBYL MARY REID (because, they only dealt with the Reid family in Australia).

Also, with my meagre resources, I can find no record of her death (giving slightly more weight to the speculation that she might have died in infancy -- also, according to Scottish law, at the time, it was considered to be a live birth if one person had heard the baby make at least one noise; and, so, it may even have been that she did not survive the birth process, yet still be considered (legally) to have been a live birth).

Given all of the above, I think that we must accept that, in some small way, the "power" of wiki to suck out otherwise lost information from the void has been well and truly verified in this case.Lindsay658 (talk) 04:36, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Also, this kind of "genealogical" information is, often, extremely difficult to isolate, in the first place, but it is (comparatively) very easy to verify, once you have the information.Lindsay658 (talk) 06:55, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Declined BLPPROD: Vasily Shevtsov

I had to decline this, as the IMDB link is, while entirely insufficient for notability, is sufficient to make the placement of a BLPPROD incorrect. You're welcome to (and encouraged to) use PROD or AfD instead here. Thanks, and sorry for the extra lap. --joe deckertalk to me 21:03, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

2011 AFL season

Hi Jenks24, If you don't mind you should look at articles of previous seasons and see that's the styling that they use. It you have any problems with this, feel welcome to edit the other AFL season articles. Many Thanks, --McAusten 10:02, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Re: PROD

I thought it spoke for itself but I would be happy to provide further explanation. Andrevan@ 21:23, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Black Caviar

Hi Jenks 24, You are indeed right, but the article is misleading because it neglects to mention that this is the current quarter Timeform ranking and is not the WTRR, which does end of year rankings. I have changed the sentence back to best in the world (so far) according to Timeform and have included a link to the chart. WTRR and Timeform usually come up with different rankings and Timeform usually adjusts rank several times in the year. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Regards Froggerlaura (talk) 02:24, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for updating the table. It was originally intended to just see how many people were retiring due to RfA, but if it can be used to find new admins... then your edits are extremely helpful. WormTT · (talk) 09:29, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

No worries. Saw your plug at WT:RFA and thought it might be useful. Jenks24 (talk) 09:30, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks

Just wanted to say "thanks" for your comment on Rehman's RfA. I follow RfAs pretty closely even if I don't vote in them, and when I see a WP:NOTNOW tossed at an experienced editor I'm always tempted to respond, but so far I have restrained myself! Anyway, I (obviously) agree with the sentiment you expressed there, and am glad you did so. Cheers, 28bytes (talk) 04:20, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

No worries. Thanks for writing the essay (which I think is very good). Hopefully it will gain more prominence in the future and people will only link to NOTNOW when the candidate would really benefit from reading it. Jenks24 (talk) 06:15, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Re:Strange move request...

the page is presently located at She's Got Nothing On (But The Radio) however per naming conventions it SHOULD be located at She's Got Nothing On (But the Radio). Strangely enough the latter redirects to the album, while the talk page is located correctly at Talk:She's Got Nothing On (But the Radio). — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 18:39, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

That's because people were forking the article left right and centre. no problems.— Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 19:03, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

2008 South Australian Super League

Thanks for fixing all the minor typos and MOS errors. I thought I'd caught most of them, but I guess that's what I get for creating articles at 1 in the morning. Oh well, only the 2009 season to go! SellymeTalk 15:14, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

No worries, there was really very little to tidy up compared to most new articles. Also, I'm sorry I had to slap an ugly tag on it, but I did have a look through google and the google news archives before doing so and I'm sure there must be independent sources out there.
