Fixture copyrights
As ridiculous as it may sound, sports fixtures are subject to copyright in the UK, and this has been upheld in court (The Football League Limited v Littlewoods Pools Ltd, 1959). They are thus incompatible with Wikipedia's GFDL licensing. Now I'd like to hope that the rugby authorities have a more sensible approach than the football authorities, but in the case of football the league charge £9,000 per season for the privilege of publishing fixtures, and are notoriously litigious when it comes to enforcing it. However, from a quick search I found (word doc link) which starts "These fixtures are the copyright of Super League (Europe) Ltd, Registered Office, Red Hall, Red Hall Lane, Leeds, LS17 8NB and must NOT be reproduced in whole or in part except by written consent of the RFL".

While fixtures are copyrighted, results are not eligible for copyright, as they are historical fact. Further reading at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football/Archive_20. Oldelpaso (talk) 22:34, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Stuart Cummings (rugby league)
A tag has been placed on Stuart Cummings (rugby league) 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you. -Zeus-uc 22:05, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Redirecting problem
WP:RL seems to have some confusion about naming articles, since there appears to be two formats for articles about season results:


 * " season results" : 2008 Super League season results
 * " results" : Super League XIV Results

I'm planning to tidy up 2008's page by merging the play-offs page into the results page. As it is currently, this would result in a double redirect. I'm also planning to do a results page to accompany every SL season so far, so we need an agreed format for all SL season results pages. The Aussie contributors are far ahead of us in this field, and I reckon we should just follow their example, which I've made bold in the list above. Agreed? GW (talk) 23:23, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think that the actual page name is too important, so certainly i'd be happy with us following the '2009 Super League results' format. I also agree that the playoffs article should be merged into the main results page. Julianhall (talk) 15:47, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Cheers. It's just that, since we edit the articles, we know the names of them and we know how to navigate our way around. It's not so easy if you're a general reader and the names seem to go all over the place. I'll get to work on it. GW (talk) 21:50, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Andrew Jarrett
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Andrew Jarrett, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Unreferenced, no context, stub, has not played first grade failing rules 2 on rugby league notability guidelines. Also fails rule 9 in that his notability seems to be established based on the notability of the team.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Super League playoffs
Hi Julianhall

Do you have a source that confirms the higher QPO loser plays the lower EPO winner?

The source which the article refers to says the matchups are as follows:

--Nitsansh (talk) 22:56, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep, it's not explained, but this article on the Super League website clearly shows that Huddersfield (i.e. the highest-ranked QPO loser) will play Catalans (i.e. the lowest-ranked EPO winner). Julianhall (talk) 10:11, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I found this source later last night and ammended the references to this one.--Nitsansh (talk) 13:28, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Fixtures
Why are we not allowed to publish upcoming fixtures? are they protected by copyright laws?--Nitsansh (talk) 21:17, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Exactly! check out this section further up this very page where i was told about it myself earlier this year. Julianhall (talk) 21:23, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Exactly which sports/leagues have copyright of their fixtures?--Nitsansh (talk) 22:30, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * There's another issue to consider. Wikipedia is hosted on servers in the U.S., which means that the most pertinent copyright law is American. While sports leagues are free to copyright their fixture lists, listing a small subset of fixtures (say, one week of the season, or possibly the playoffs) would probably fall under the fair use doctrine of U.S. copyright law. — Dale Arnett (talk) 22:52, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Additional comment: Fair use is a defense, not a blanket license to copy. — Dale Arnett (talk) 23:08, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Which sports and leagues hold copyright, i do not know. I do know that Super League Europe hold copyright of their fixtrures, therefore we shouldn't publish them as per the comments above. Julianhall (talk) 11:12, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Instead of arguing over copyright law, which is complex enough without the debate over whether the UK/US/Fair use laws apply (and to the best of my knowledge none of us are qualified to speak of such things anyway), I think it's wiser to just play safe and state simply that, "Hull KR will face Wigan in the second phase of the play-offs" or something along those lines. GW (talk) 11:39, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with your comments about copyright law, definitely better to play it safe. As far as your other comment is concerned, i don't think we even need to state who will play who. This is, at the end of the day, an encyclopaedia, and encyclopaedias don't publish fixtures. Plus, this is a results page, not a fixtures page. Finally, the second round of games will be complete in a week's time, and the playoffs all finished in three weeks. If people are looking for fixtures, i'm sure that they will look at other sites before this one. Julianhall (talk) 12:10, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * There are numerous pages about sport events that list the schedule of matches/competitions. I see no reason to assume by default that all these are copyrighted. It seems to me that only UK domestic leagues have copyright of their fixtures.--Nitsansh (talk) 18:18, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Nor do i. All i stated was that Super League Europe fixtures are copyrighted, which is what i was told earlier this year, further up this very page. You are more than welcome to make whatever assumptions you see fit to make. I am simply stating that, unless anyone who understands copyright law well can explain otherwise, it is almost certainly safer to err on the side of caution and not publish fixtures. Also, i would remind you that just because there are lists of fixtures elsewhere on Wikipedia, it does not necessarily mean that they are allowed to be displayed. Can we draw a line under this now? I think that we can all agree that Super League Europe fixtures are under copyright and shouldn't be published here, can't we? Julianhall (talk) 18:43, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Is it OK to publish the dates and rounds only without the teams involved? See this and this--Nitsansh (talk) 04:24, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I can only really reiterate what i have already said, i.e. that this isn't my field of expertise, and that if we're unsure, it's better to err on the side of caution. If i was forced to choose, i would guess that it is OK, but i must stress that's my assumption and that as there is doubt, i'd probably not even publish that. Maybe we could contact the RFL about this since it's rumbling on so much? Maybe we should discuss it on WP:RL? Does anyone know if there is any sort of precedent for Wikipedia doing this sort of thing? Julianhall (talk) 10:44, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Flight 141
A tag has been placed on Flight 141, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, file description page, file talk page, MediaWiki page, MediaWiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, user talk or special page from the main/article space.

If you can fix the redirect to point to a mainspace page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you are fixing the redirect. If you think the redirect should be retained as is for some reason, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the article's talk page directly to give your reasons. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. DASHBot (talk) 18:13, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest
I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 02:34, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

 * I deliberately modified this to be a link to a disambiguation, as i feel it's more appropriate. The initial link was to a less-relevant page, and this now allows the user to select between passing in Rugby League, and in Rugby Union which are separate articles, but equally relevant.

Flags in European current templates
Hello there, I have been asked by another member of WPRL to widen the conversation on "Flags in European current templates", in the hope to gain a wider consensus. I imagine that this message may well never be read, dismissed, see me lose support, potentially gain some or take the discussion forwards. Please do take the time to read the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Rugby_league if you can, but the crux of my position is that the flags are prevalent elsewhere, are consistent with usage by the MOS, and their implementation for their rugby league national squad/team or representative nationality, is in line with their intended purpose. The crux of the remove side would be an IP editor may interpret a flag as indication of birth, give too much credence to the nation, and the decision was made previously. To remove them from all rugby league templates when there is a limited conversation would seem more than a little unfair I would say, hence the attempt to reach out. I'm quite happy to voted down, but would appreciate a few more voices to the discussion, else it would seem quite wrong to move from the majority into the minority.Fleets (talk) 19:57, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
