The version by 61.69.12.15 is direct from the Melbourne Knights official website (see [1] [2] and [3]). It's not the right tone for wikipedia even if there was copyright permission (the following two edits were relatively minor). Suggest reverting to Tancred's version.

Bullshit you've got a 45000 capacity. Where do you fit them? In the quarry?

Cleanup

Narrative tone needs to go and be replaced with a factual, encyclopedic tone. Wiki formatting standards need to be followed and internal links added. If anyone wants a stab at it, go for it. --Scottie theNerd 19:15, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The article carries something of a political tone rather than an encyclopedic one. I would also accuse the article of bias as it states only the positive aspects of the political role of the club and has ignored the widespread allegations of NEO NAZI support that has been reported this summer on Australian Television News. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5WARjt677M

you are an idiot —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.253.123.98 (talk) 09:14, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would have to agree... there is somewhat of a political tone to this and some what 'bitter' to the whole restructuring and there is this notion of "us against them" feel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.206.35.110 (talk) 18:18, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Honours cleanup

I cleaned up the honours section because i thought it was a little unwieldly, and also to list the more major, and in my opinion, most relevant achievements rather than every little thing, which if done for every side would go on forever. If however, anyone disagrees with this, they can go and add whatever they feel is important enough to be there. Blackmissionary 01:40, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Knights Stadium (Australia)

As the topic title suggests, i've created an artcile for Knights Stadium (Australia). Take a little caution with linking to it because there is already an article on a stadium with the same name in the US. So add pics, details if you have them, you know the drill.

Melbourne Knights logo

“don't know whether the logo contains references to the Ustasha, but it is the actual logo of the club, and therefore it has a place in the article . Why don´t you have a look at the Croatian ore the French side? There is another logo, because references to the Ustasha are forbidden in Croatia. What would you think about a German soccer club containing references to Nazi Germany like for instance the flag of Nazi Germany.--Speidelj (talk) 20:34, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can you be a bit clearer about what you are talking about please? I don't understand. Camw (talk) 22:22, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that he thinks that the Melbourne Knights logo contains references to the Ustasha. My point is that regardless of whether it does or not, it is the club's logo, and therefore is appropriate to place in this article. Wikipedia is not the place for political discussion - if he finds the logo offensive, he should take it up outside this domain. Blackmissionary (talk) 01:12, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The suggestion the the Croatian coat of arms are a Nazi symbol is absurd. The Croatian coat of arms have been a national symbol for over a thousand years, sometimes with the first square white and other times red. Both variations have been used throughout Croatia's history, so to connect it to the Ustasa movement is just plain silly and has zero foundation.

Four times now Speidelj has removed the logo, it really is verging on vandalism now (MelbCro (talk) 01:51, 10 November 2010 (UTC)).[reply]
