[edit] How to recruit writers for these projects?

How would it be done? WikiProject AFL is basically single-handedly run by me. Rogerthat 11:05, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

You could request for help at the Australian Wikipedians' Notice Board. Also, you could create a project notice (cf. {{WPANotice}}) to place on talk pages of related articles to promote the WikiProject.--cj | talk 11:14, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
I know how you feel, Rogerthat - I've basically written all our content on Australian netball. Alas, I've about given up of any help on that front for the foreseeable future. Ambi 12:25, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Same here for Australia at the Winter Olympics to an extent (the mention of Michael Milton and Janine Shepherd was good, both the result of plugging the article on the noticeboard). Look on the bright side: no edit conflicts! (Well, apart from a conflict over Janine Shepherd's year of birth). Out of curiosity, what was Michael Milton like as an AFL player? Andjam 13:37, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Hey, I wrote Janine Shepherd well before the noticeboard! :P Ambi 13:41, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Nah, you wrote Janine Shepherd on September 5, 2004, and you wrote the noticeboard on September 22, 2004. Only 17 days difference. :P Andjam 13:54, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Ha. :D In any case, I wonder if there's anything we could be doing to help each other out in our respective sports. Ambi 13:57, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
I guess having someone else look at a near-finished article is good. And swapping hints on how to write good sports articles. Collaboration of the fortnight isn't a bad recruiting mechanism, even ones that are just getting voted on seem to get a response. Andjam 14:21, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Oops, I probably meant Glenn Manton (ex-AFL player turned team member of 4-man non-qualifying bobsleigh), not Michael Milton, Paralympic skier. Andjam 13:00, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

I created {{AusSportsNotice}} as general project notice. A-League already has a project notice ({{WikiProject A-League}}), and AFL has a user notice. AFL participants may wish to create a notice also. --cj | talk 14:34, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Article on FAC

I've just nominated my latest netball project, Cynna Neele, as a featured article candidate. I'd much appreciate it if some of you could drop by and vote. :) Ambi 02:52, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Australia at the Winter Olympics

I have submitted Australia at the Winter Olympics for peer review. Andjam 11:21, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Articles for the Wikipedia 1.0 project

Hi, I'm a member of the Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team, which is looking to identify quality articles in Wikipedia for future publication on CD or paper. We recently began assessing using these criteria, and we are looking for A-class, B-class, and Good articles, with no POV or copyright problems. Can you recommend any suitable articles? Please post your suggestions here. Thanks a lot! Gflores Talk 17:40, 2 February 2006 (UTC)</nowiki>

(Self-nom) You may wish to check out Australia at the Winter Olympics. If the article gets assessed against the criteria, I'd be interested to see how it goes. Thanks, Andjam 09:00, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion. I think your olympic article looks A-Class to me, but I'd appreciate some expert opinion on that! You could also get help with that one here, and you could also nominate it for WP:GA. Meanwhile Cynna Neele is a decent article too, though it needs a couple of non-copyright images. You can update our listing here. Thanks, Walkerma 16:43, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Baseball

ive recently started the Australian Baseball League page, anyone interested in contributing to this or any of the related pages(including the Australian Baseball page) please do so, if anyone is interested in helping out in any way please drop me a message on my talk page! cheers --Dan027 09:29, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AIS open day

The Australian Institute of Sport is holding an open day on Sunday 7 May. (I'll be coming down from Sydney to Canberra for the weekend.) Andjam 13:44, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good Aussie sports site

I'm only interested in league and union myself but came across this site and thought you might want to take a look at it. It is particular good on the subject of aerial pingpong. GordyB 20:58, 19 July 2006 (UTC) (Pommy) [1]

[edit] Junior sports

Hey, I was writing Youth Girls Competition (a junior women's Australian Rules league) and I couldn't find any decent category to cover it as a junior league, in fact the only decent category I could find was Category:Children's sport!! Seems a bit weird. Maybe someone could develop a better category structure for junior sports, certainly there are other articles such as Auskick which has no category that represents its "junior" status. cheers, pfctdayelise (translate?) 13:59, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hockey Australia

Hockey Australia needs some content. =Nichalp «Talk»= 15:34, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POLICE RUGBY LEAGUE New user needs help

Anyone willing to help out a new user writing an article on a rugby team? The article (speedy deleted twice already) is currently at User:VPRLC/Police Rugby League (Victoria). If you're willing to help out or can offer some advice or pointers (or just a friendly hello), please see User talk:VPRLC. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 13:57, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

The page mentioned above was created by me in relation to Police Rugby League in the state of Victoria. It appears to be the only one of its kind on the site and refers to a notable club and organisation helping pave the way for rugby league in this state. It was deleted but has had appropriate changes made to it. Any advice or assistance would be appreciated as I am new to this site and would like to have the deletion reversed. Thank you. VPRLC 08:05, 4 November 2006 (UTC)


I AM STILL HOPING FOR SOME HELP WITH THIS PLEASE. VPRLC 03:34, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
