Underwater rugby
Hi Kalaius86,

I reverted your edits to the article about underwater rugby for the following reasons:


 * 1) Internal links are only used to link to other articles in the English Wikipedia and not to other language wikipedias.
 * 2) There is already a link to the Hungarian article for Underwater Rugby in the column entitled "Languages" on the left hand side of the page - please refer Help:Interlanguage links for more information about this feature.

Have you considered writing an article about Underwater Rugby in Hungary? You could use the Underwater rugby in Australia as an example of what to do.

Regards

Hi Cowdy,

I hope placing my response here is OK, I'm not yet familiar with Wikipedia customs. I understand your intent, but I think the current version is quite misleading.

I've just finished the Hungarian version of UWR's page, it's very much like the Australian version you recommended actually. It gives a brief description of the game with the rules, tactics and most important features. Then comes the history of UWR in Hungary, listing not only the first club, but the 2 other clubs too, as there are 3 officially. The third segment keeps track of CMAS tournament and Champions Cup results from 2010.

It was the first edit on the page after about a decade, also my first not minor edit and it was reviewed and approved shortly after, I'd assume cause the page classifies as "very important".

I don't like the English version of UWR's wiki page a lot, but I'd find it too much of a challenge to try to create a worthy alternative. Nor the current or the previous Hungarian UWR page are and was not translations of the English version. It makes sense that the Australians make a separate page about their UWR scene as the English UWR wiki page is not about that obviously. The version you reverted to links nowhere but cites the website of the first Hungarian UWR team. For me it made sense that if such a section exists, I should link the Hungarian UWR wiki page as that is much like the Australian (describing the local UWR history and scene), and probably those who are interested are mainly Hungarians anyway. The 2nd cited page belongs to The Current UWR, my club. If you compare it to the website of the other club, you might find this more informative.

What would you recommend to make this section on the English page less misleading? I'm gonna click on Watch this page so if you're following up on this and respond here, I should find it.

Cheers, Zoltán
