Re: Netball team
Quite welcome, let me know if you have trouble in the future. I'll work on some documentation for your template now - while I was fixing it, I tweaked a few of your parameters around to make them work better. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 19:07, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

I just made the templates
 * Template:Male field hockey kit
 * Template:Male field hockey team
 * Template:Field hockey kit
 * Template:Field hockey team

but on Black Sticks Men the colours on the shorts don't work.

Thanks heaps Matt 13:12, 15 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I've tracked down the error (or at least, can point you in the right direction. On Template:Male field hockey kit the text referred to "skirt" (had you copied the template over from the ladies?) - I've changed this to shorts (the diff should show you my alteration), and hey presto...

 * No problem - we're all human...you don't want to know how many times I've had to spend hours debugging code to get rid of a stray full-stop...at least yours was easy to spot! Giles Bennett (Talk, Contribs) 21:51, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Netball World Championships series
Hi, firstly, thanks for all your invaluable work on Netball, an underrepresented sport on Wikipedia. You will no doubt notice that I have put merge tags on two of the sub-articles you created yesterday. The lead article Netball World Championships is not much more than a stub, and I think that the small amount of additional information on History_of_the_Netball_World_Championship and Netball World Championship hosts would be better used to expand the main article.

Of the yet to be created articles, Qualification and Records and statistics both sound fine as additional articles. Team appearances does too, as it would represent a cross-tabulation from the individual tournament articles.

Trophy should probably be a section in the main article, and I have absolutely no idea what you envisage with The Final.

Lastly, if you are writing articles on individual New Zealand Netballers, please link to them from the births section of the relevant "Year in new Zealand" article (e.g. 1974 in New Zealand) dramatic 23:03, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of The Pulse (netball)
A tag has been placed on The Pulse (netball) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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.

Netball skirts
I was trying to edit the netball kit template (Template:Netball kit Template:Netball team) but it has all gone bung. Matt 22:49, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * What is the problem with it? - Rjd0060 23:25, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * See Botswana national netball team 203.97.223.183 00:31, 16 November 2007 (UTC) (Matt 00:32, 16 November 2007 (UTC))
 * Yes, the template is definitely not working as intended. Lanma, I notice you're the creator and main editor of the template, the template in its current form is resulting in display issues, but I'm unable to find the coding issues after a quick glance. You can see basic information in Help:Infobox, and Manual of Style (infoboxes), but you may wish to ask someone who has done many of these to help you. You could request assistance at Village pump.

Chants R&B
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Chants R&B, because another editor is suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add db-author to the top of the page. -- Swerdnaneb 07:15, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Thanks for contributing to the netball articles - I've been watching the netball article itself for a few months and I've noticed how often it is vandalised. However, Please leave an edit summary when reverting a page, preferably noting the username of the edit you reverted. For example, in this edit, your edit summary could have been "revert to last version by Graham87" or, in a shorter form, "rv to last by Graham87". This makes things much easier in case something goes amiss when reverting, which does happen occasionally. I try to put edit summaries on all edits because I think it makes it easier to read the page history. Graham 87 07:57, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Jodi Te Huna
A tag has been placed on Jodi Te Huna 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 notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance 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 article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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.

Netball skirts
I am looking for an expert in templates.

I am trying to enable skirt patterns in Template:Netball kit, but have not been able to do so. As an example see Botswana national netball team (from markup) "| pattern_la1 =
 * pattern_b1 =_white_stars
 * pattern_ra1 =
 * pattern_sk1 =_white_stars
 * leftarm1 =99CCFF
 * body1 = 99CCFF
 * rightarm1 =99CCFF
 * shorts1 = 99CCFF"

I will be because I have adapted all the netball templates from football and rugby ones, thus have messed something up along the way.

Thanks Matt (talk) 20:23, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi Lanma, I've noticed that nobody has been able to assist you for hours now, so I'm going to remove the helpme, and direct you to Village Pump Technical form, where others may be more likely to be able to work with you to fix the template. I hope that helps! Ariel  ♥  Gold  23:00, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Adelaide Thunderbirds.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Adelaide Thunderbirds.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 21:53, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
