Micheal Luck
CmdrObot recently changed the spelling of Micheal Luck on his page to Michael. Can this page go on an exclusion list? Regards, Mattlore (talk) 22:02, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that Mattlore. It looks like Micheal->Michael isn't a safe correction in general, so I've removed it outright from my bot. CmdrObot (talk) 23:12, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Your comment on my talk page
If your were referring to my edit summary all in caps it wasnt meant as a angry gesture I just did that so anyone editing would have to see it as caps draw attention. Thnx anyway. JakeDHS07 15:25, 19 May 2008 (UTC) JakeDHS07

Mac/Mc
It's used to assist in category sorting, so that all the players whose surname begin with Mc are grouped together. Eg. in the, all those "Mc's" who fall under this category begin with "Mac" in the defaultsort. Ck12 (talk) 13:39, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Wellington Rugby League
Cheers for the feedback - I pretty much just whipped it up after an insomniac night using bits of pieces of other articles, while adding the new NPC information. As for the Orcas justifying an article - I'd agree with your reasoning, but what happened is I forgot to make the Pumas and Lions pages redirects as well, and their ownership of seperate articles is actually just an oversight on my part :P I'll do that now, especially since there is so little distinct information available on the teams. Should it seem like a good idea in future than all three teams (or even just the Orcas) have their own pages (something you are welcome to suggest if you so wish), we can always revert or edit.
 * Actually scrub that - I'll revert the pages. I'd like to see more specific information on teams in those articles with Wellington Rugby League having a brief overview. While this isn't possible with my limited knowledge on the subject, perhaps someone else can contribute. Also, thanks for adding the Hutt Valley franchise, I didn't even know they existed!

As for the draw - I got the Wellington fixtures from this news article, which I actually by chance reading the paper the other day. I placed a reference to this, but since I placed it next to the statement regarding Porirua Park, it's not as obvious (my bad!). Unfortunately there seems to be no other coverage of the NPC, and only the Wellington fixtures seem to be available, but hopefully this'll change as kickoff gets closer.

Canterbury Rugby League
Just wanted to mention that you've done a great job with the CRL page. It's got plenty of good content - the Glory Years section adds a lot to it rather than it just being a page of stats and lists like BoPRL and TRL are at this point, and the NPC information is very useful as I've had a bit of trouble finding anything out about it online! Hopefully we'll be able to get a fixture list soon, I'll let you know as soon as I find one. Keep up the good work! Gialloneri (talk) 23:39, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Jeremy Smiths
Looking through it looks like it would have been the Melbourne player, packing down in the front row. Londo 06  09:29, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Found that the Souths players is a former Junior Kiwi, New Zealand Maori and New Zealand A representative, Smith made his National Rugby League (NRL) first-grade debut last year when he was with Parramatta from this article League: Smith has big shoes to fill Londo  06  13:51, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: List of New Zealand Warriors players
I'm certain that there is a template to get the numbers to sort correctly but I just have to find out which one it is. I'll have a quick check now and see what I can do. As for keeping the list up to date - that certainly is a point of concern on a round to round basis, and I probably won't update each of these team lists until the end of each season. It's up to you as to whether or not you want to keep it up to date, but it's definitely a lot easier to update it once a year rather than 24 times in my opinion. MDM (talk) 01:40, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * May I suggest we leave the previous club and future club columns out altogether? I realise you've put a lot of work into them, but for the sake of relevance to the subject (New Zealand Warriors) and keeping the table to fit in one window, I suggest we leave them out. As for debut date, I can quickly put that back in without much trouble if you really want me to. MDM (talk) 07:06, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

RLWC stats
I have been using the national team pages for England, Ireland, New Zealand and Scotland; updating them prior to the tournament. I have also used the BBC website to try and get the stats up to date. With players that have made their debut recently or within the lsat few years it is no problem, but for older players the best we can do is have the games played as accurately as possible.

What 'm' and 'c' mean in rugby scores
converted or missed; a notation of my own devising, if you will. Mjefm (talk) 22:43, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Festival of WCs
Hi. I can see this both ways really.

Keep as it is:
 * "Festival of World Cups" is the name used in all of the official quotes.
 * As far as I'm aware there are no similarly named events for a user to become confused about.
 * The information in the introductory paragraph and the logo will make the topic clear.
 * Any links to this article will probably be from rugby league articles but those that aren't will usually have some explanation, not just the name of the article.

Move to Festival of World Cups (rugby league), for example:
 * The name does sound a bit generic as you say.
 * We could have both, with 'Festival of World Cups' linking to your suggested '... (rugby league)' in the way that Super League goes to Super League (Europe).

Thoughts: At the moment though, I tend think there are more reasons to leave it as it is. We could always come back to this issue in the future if people have problems with the name. As for any problems with the name seeming generic in non rugby league articles, create the alternate titles as redirects and use them if there is an applicable instance?
