Rugby union[edit]
Think needs another peer review so that the project members can decide what needs to be done to get this article up to Featured Article standard. - Shudda talk 04:15, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
Even just by scanning it I can tell it need a heck of a lot more references.Buc 11:15, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Why does it need "a heck of a lot more references" just for the sake of it? A great deal of the article discusses the rules of the game. In so doing, it references the official rules of the game. There are no other more appopriate references. Sometimes the citation mania in this place makes my head spin. As if multiple citations is the only proof of quality. --Mat Hardy (Affentitten) 02:55, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- No it needs them as proof of statements made in the article. Wikipedia:No original research will explain it for you. Buc 21:56, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- The biggest problem is confusion, there has been a peer review or two in the past, and some people have complained that the article does is not coherant enough for the average person. I suggest breaking off Game laws and methods (except Players and officials and Playing field) into Game laws and methods of rugby union, and then writing a shorter more succinct overview of the Game laws and methods that everyone can understand, At present there are a million subsections. See this comment from an FAC.
- The article also needs better use of images and their descriptions.
- Also, merge Attire into Equipment.
- Merge Possible alterations to the laws into Game laws and methods.
- History needs re-writing, which I have outlined on the talk page.
- Major international tournaments should be turned into one section such as "Notable competitions" to include club-regions etc.
- Rugby coaching can be mentioned in Game laws and methods.
- External links is too long.
- Basically I propose to massively shorten the article to make it clearer and neater. Cvene64 04:24, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
