 Hi, and welcome to the Rugby union WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to rugby union.

A few features that you might find helpful:


 * Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
 * The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can [ watchlist it] if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including WPRU Announcements there.
 * Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you [ watchlist it].
 * The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, peer review, and a collaboration of the fortnight.
 * We have a Fiji rugby task force that focus on Fiji related rugby union articles.
 * Our requests page has extensive lists of requested articles.
 * We've developed a variety of guidelines for article structure and content, template use, categorisation, and other issues that you may find useful.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Cometstyles 16:28, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Sharks
Hi there, saw that your a Sharks fan. I was just thinking about doing a big update to the page, would you be interested in working on it so it can be as good as the Crusaders one? Goldman07 09:12, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

- Yes I would be keen. In fact our target should be to make it even better than the Crusaders one. I suppose our initial target should be the Sharks (Super rugby franchise) article. Then we can look at the the Natal Sharks article. We also need to look at the player articles as they will be linked to from the main article. What I did plan to do is work on player articles for the entire Super 14 squad. I have obtained copyright permission to use the pen pictures on Wikipedia. I have only uploaded John Smit so far. I would be most happy to share the squad with yourself and other collaborators. This is a big exercise and could use even more collaborators.

We could even look at approaching the franchise to get some history, biographical information and photos --Tiucsib 09:20, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Firefox/Vista
I use firefoxwith XPSP2 and it works fine so ther must be a problem with Windows Vista and its best if you ask Village pump (technical) and maybe somebody there might be able to solve your problem..-- Cometstyles 11:47, 21 April 2007 (UTC)


 * OK thanks so between us we have narrowed it down to a problem with the Firefox/Vista combination. At least we have figured it out and neither of us is blind nor stupid. I will report it as you suggest. --Tiucsib 11:50, 21 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Now I am confused.


 * I went back to Firefox after using IE and it is all sorted out

Re
Hey great work Tiucsib. I'm not sure where to find those records, perhaps they French Wikipedia may have them, they are usually pretty good with that kind of stuff, but maybe not. Not sure. We need to try and do sections on colours/logo/jersey, franchise area and expand the stadium info as well. Keep up the good work. Goldman07 13:44, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

6000 Edits
I dont think you have 6000 Edits as you have mentioned on your userpage and Iam wondering if you took that off my userpage and in case you are wondering about how much edits you 'actually' have..this is the link..Cheers..-- Cometstyles 14:50, 22 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Quite right I don't have 6,000 edits.
 * I am new to this and was trying to work out how to do via a trial and error method.
 * And yes I did use your page as a baseline


 * I planned to fix it and then ran out of time


 * Thanks for the tip --Tiucsib 15:34, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * If you need any help..I'll be more than happy to Oblige..Cheers.-- Cometstyles 16:52, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Images
Did you manage to get a bunch of pictures released under GDFL? If so have they been uploaded? - Shudda   talk  23:54, 25 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes I did get them released under GFDL.


 * I have only uploaded 2 of them so far.
 * They are AJ Venter and John Smit


 * I have about 30 Sharks Super 14 pen pictures that I can use and I think I can get the Sharks Currie Cup squad as well. This will be a few more players. We have a long week-end in SA so I plan to upload the rest this week-end


 * Cheers

hi, im new to wikipedia and uploading of images etc, i uploaded a pic of brad barrit, barritt-blues.jpg i think it was, honestly, im not sure if its copyrighted or anything so i just added whatever tag i could which wouldnt result in the image being deleted after 7 days. You mentioned that u contacted the website admin of the sharks site and he that the image was copyrighted, so it seems the image prob has to be deleted. sorry for any trouble/problems/inconvenience caused...

Hey, I'm not sure whether or not you have read this, but have you seen Requesting copyright permission? Especially the section on When permission is confirmed? Anyway if you have not then you should read it and follow the instructions so people can't delete those pen photo shots you have of the Sharks squad. I've only needed to do it once (for Image:WaisaleSerevi.jpg) and it was confusing, but hopefully you can figure it out! Anyway good luck. - Shudda   talk  10:42, 1 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks Shudda. I actually did half the job. I read the bit and I asked for permission. I did not read the bit about what to do when permission was granted. I see I need to send an email to a committee. I will do as you advise. Thanks Tiucsib 15:15, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
