Your contributions aren't worthless after all!

G'day Boomtish, I know you're shattered that your brilliant contributions have just been thrown away like this, but you might be pleased to know that your work is appreciated. I've moved the good version of the Kane Tenace article to a new wiki - See here. Also check out my profile on that site. Cheers, Rogerthat Talk 09:59, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Lead covers many of the following lead points, just needs a bit of tweaking and copyediting into at the most 2 paragraphs.

  • The biography is 5,650 characters (No spaces) and 6,726 characters as it stands today. According to WP:Lead articles < 15,000 characters should be 1-2 paragraphs.
    • 1. Context - see Template:Biography - covered in article BTW very well
    • 2. Characterization - appearance, age, gender, educational level, vocation or occupation, financial status, marital status, social status, cultural background, hobbies, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ambitions, motivations, personality, what the biography refers to as used in the given context.
    • 3. Explanation - deeper meaning and background.
    • 4. Compare and contrast - how it relates to other topics, if appropriate.
    • 5. Criticism - include criticism if there has been significant, notable criticism. Need to compare to other footballers, if appropriate.
        • If the article was to become a feature article or an article chosen for a portal - only the lead would be used - does it induce the reader to desire to know what the article is about and seek further information?

- I'm not sure what issue (if there is one with the links) is apparent, but please do kindly point out any suggestions. This is an automatic javascript program that looks at format issues according to wiki guidelines on the referenced pages. You have an amazing amount of citations compared to a number of articles I have seen. This auto peer reviewer sees that perhaps the same reference is used in close proximity to itself as per the wiki referenced pages... Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links) and WP:CONTEXT

- No available images of use as of now. -Fair enough - these are hard to come by sometimes.

On the whole I thought your article was very well done. I have benefited myself from this semi automatic javascript peer reviewer it is so easy to install the program and use it on pages to promote their quality. Good luck in all your endeavours.

Hello. I updated the review, and listed why on the talk page - Promoted the article to Good Article class and listed the article also. Congratulations, and keep up the good work! SriMesh | talk 20:12, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox afl player

What's the go? You're redone the whole 'playing career' section but that has messed every single footy article. Eg Jim Adamson Crickettragic (talk) 09:46, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mate you've done well, it certainly looks better than before. 5 seconds or not though it's still going to be a pain in the **** manually editing the 2000 plus AFL player articles that we have. Crickettragic (talk) 09:56, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just a suggestion mate, but perhaps you could make a second infobox which includes these new edits that you have done? This is what is done in WP:Cricket for example which I'm part of, if someone has a new better looking template they make is seperatly instead of in place of the old one. That way while editers go through the task of updating each article, which will take a bit, the yet untouched articles remain as they were. Problem with what you have done is until we edit each player's page they are going to be without the vital section which mentions their career teams and stats. Thoughts?

Hi Boomtish! I've left a message on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject AFL, to get comments and assistance from a wider audience. JPD (talk) 10:41, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
