[edit] Roller Derby national teams
Good work on getting the remaining national team articles started; I've gone through and added team logos and colors. Whoever started the New Zealand article used a different template which allows for different info, but not colorboxes; I wonder if trying to retroactively match everyone's infoboxes to standardize the layouts is more trouble than it's worth. For Brasil, I added a mention of the fact that the skaters, while having traditional derby names in their home leagues, skated at World Cup using single nicknames in the manner of soccer players as a homage. I haven't yet found a credible source to that effect, however, and my insertion of this detail, while referencing their team page, might amount to original research, I don't know. Thoughts? I was at the Cup as an announcer, so while I know this fact to be true, I would feel better if I could find a mention of it on DNN or in a news article somewhere. I'm also hoping to be able to add a mention and ideally photo of New Zealand performing the haka at the Cup; this seems noteworthy, but all photos I have found are not licensed for reuse. Something to keep your eye open for should you find yourself with time to kill. Echoedmyron (talk) 01:12, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
- Heh. I posted a mention in a forum on facebook today noting that all the countries' teams articles were up; and I see that all heck is breaking loose as inexperienced editors are trying to make changes. Could get interesting - especially noting what the Brazilian editor is doing... Echoedmyron (talk) 19:22, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
- No worries - it's good that articles are getting attention, and these things usually result in improved articles in the end. Most of the changes seem to be updates to rosters, which is all good. I'll broadly stay hands-off, unless this attracts outright vandalism, and can fix up references, etc, later. Incidentally, which forum was it which attracted so much attention?

- It was here, in a small group of people who attended World Cup and swapped info before, during and after: [1] A while back there were people talking about the first team pages for USA and Canada, after I had shared the initial Cup article. Last week it got shared on twitter also. Echoedmyron (talk) 21:53, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
