WP:AFL

G'day mate, have you considered joining WikiProject AFL? Drop us a line mate, and i'll see you there. Rogerthat 08:20, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Heyo

You seem to be a Geelong fan and a damn good article writer, so can I bug you to read the Reg Hickey article and suggent improvements? Particularly if you know when the old gent died, because I can't find a date-of-death anywhere. Cheers Reyk 11:08, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

• Cheers for the kind words. As for the article, I've made some edits (nothing too major, just general vocab to make the reading easier) and added in some specific info, the great man's date of passing included. Boomtish 07:24, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

• • No problems then. Thanks for doing that. Reyk 07:53, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar Award

An absolutely sensational effort on the Andrew Mackie article. Probably one of the best articles we have going in WikiProject AFL. Rogerthat 09:21, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Chris Judd

Your articles are superb, but your latest Chris Judd extension really did prove that he needed more and you did a fantastic job. Keep up the good work Lonie From 50 11:18, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:08 judd.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too.

Image copyright problem with Image:Brownlow2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Brownlow2.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. feydey 12:40, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

afl.com.au photos

The photos You uploaded are made by professional photographers who earn money from their work and as such the photos are copyrighted. Only if You have a source that clearly says that the photos are promotional are they allowed to WP as fair use. Questions? feydey 23:13, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

NPOV

I have had to wholly revert some of your work - eg. Chris Judd and Luke Hodge - as your edits do not conform to the neutrality policy of Wikipedia. Please try to stick to facts (but not every last award a player has one - eg. "Most aggressive 2004") and refrain from editorialising about a player's success. Thanks. Harro5 07:40, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm hardly 'bias' about my opinion in the definitive way, it's about as factual as it can get. People coming to the site looking for info on who Chris Judd is hardly get any information. What do they get? oh yeah, he's a captain of a club, he's won some stuff. How is that different to anything else? That doesn't tell them who Chris Judd is. If everything was strictly 'factual' in the sense I think you're leaning toward, then this site would be a complete piece of rubble. You look at the other articles on this site of players with an actual decent amount of info on them compared to the 'factual' based articles, and you tell me which one tells you more about the player.

And now we can't "editorialise about a player's success"? Dear Lord, if only people realised that 'success' in a sense, is what defines Mr Judd here so very much. If I blabbered on about how they guy dominates every game, then yes, by all means I'm the fool.

But it's not as if I'm lavishing the guy with praise in a clearly biased way, which obviously would defeat the purpose of this encyclopedia. I understand that, but that's nothing to what I've done. You ask any football follower and they will tell you everything I've wrote. Here's a 'fact', all of this is the general view of the footballing society.

Here's another thing I funny: Without sounding cocky, I give you a decent lengthed article, you edit it, then classify it as a stub, wanting people to help expand it. Expand it? On what? You've sucked any form of expansion possible out of the article. You've written rules and implimented them to such an extent that you're not allowing for expansion, because if you did, it would violate your own rules.

If this site wants to crackdown on being so factual to this extreme length, then it's becoming too much. It's pathetic really. Boomtish 04:51, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

I agree mate. Anyone who's ever watched Judd play knows that he is simply very dominant in the way he plays the game. There's no element of bias in that comment at all. Rogerthat ^Talk 06:23, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

The way to solve this problem is to use references. I know I haven't been the greatest referencer myself, but the allegations of POV will evaporate as soon as you prove that you're just documenting the lavish praise of others. When I get back to my own computer (I'm in an internet cafe in NZ at the moment) I'll go back and properly cite everything I've written.

On a related note, this article is just plain deplorable and needs to be rewritten. I'll get to that too unless someone beats me to it. Reyk 22:45, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

I am wondering if you would like to join WikiProject NBL. I believe that this is something that you might be able to help me with, by creating user boxes and player boxes for it or even adding articles about Players
