Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited New Zealand Democratic Coalition, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mike Moore (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

SBW manager

Sorry if you took offense; none intended. I agree i could have moved it but i wanted to see where you wanted to add it. I was actually thinking of adding it in a more discreet manner, rather than on its own. What do you think of adding it under the section 2008-2010: Toulon as follows:

In July 2008, after linking up with new manager Khoder Nasser, Williams left Australia to join French rugby union club Toulon, citing salary cap concerns in a controversial exit.Suid-Afrikaanse (talk) 02:25, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Don't worry, no offense taken (hence the smiley face). Sounds good - better than my poor effort! Mattlore (talk) 02:32, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Appreciated. I will change it right away.Suid-Afrikaanse (talk) 02:42, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Notability

Hey mate, if a player plays a test for Italy, does that make them notable enough to create? I was thinking of making a page for Knights player, Josh Mantellato who is in the 2012 NSW Cup team of the year, has played 4 tests for Italy (source) & will represent them in the World Cup. Josh the newcastle fan (talk) 10:21, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Hey. The guidelines are here: WP:RLN. It says to be notable he has to have played in an international between two full or associate members of the RLIF or RLEF - which includes Italy as an affiliate of the RELF. However I'd just make sure you use as many references as you can to try and make sure it reached WP:GNG as well. Mattlore (talk) 20:11, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

So basically, he's just notable enough but needs a heap of references? Josh the newcastle fan (talk) 08:46, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

NZRL National Competition

No, but the name "National Competition" will be confusing on what the article is about. JK (talk) 07:34, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Help needed

Hi Matt, just wondering if you can point me in the right direction on what to do. The GCRL page is now a bit of a disaster zone as we've had a keen newbie move it, chop it up and put up redirections. Is there a way to neatly fix things without losing the history of the original page? All of the GCRL info was previously at Gold Coast Rugby League but from what I can tell the GCRL page has been moved to Gold Coast Rugby League (Federation) and some info has been moved to Gold Coast Rugby League (Competition) while a new stub has been created on the Gold Coast Rugby League page. Bongomanrae (talk) 10:41, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Ah, he did the same thing by moving the New Zealand competition article to New Zealand Rugby League Competition without sources. I have started a request to move it back to its original place of National Competition but its still pending, see Talk:NZRL National Competition.

I'll put in a move request to return it to Gold Coast Rugby League as that is the best way to save the history. In the meantime you can merge the two topics back if they are actually the same? Mattlore (talk) 06:31, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

SBW fight

Sorry about the 12 rounds edit. I know it was 10 but i made a mindless mistake while reverting some repetitive vandalism.Suid-Afrikaanse (talk) 13:37, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

No worries, we all do it! Mattlore (talk) 19:58, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Dylan Napa Deletion

I had nothing to do with Dylan Napa. Why are you telling me this???? Check his history of edits. JK (talk) 22:19, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Hey Jacob, I belive some of the other pages in the discussion were started by you. If I am mistaken, I apoligise. Mattlore (talk) 23:45, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your helpful comments at WP:CFDS. And sorry about the repeat nom for the Western Reds categories; I was not aware of the recent nomination and your previous explanation. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 00:13, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Ha! I think we simultaneously posted on each others' pages. Thanks for your comments there too. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 00:14, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Incidentally, could you look at this. It's a weirdly formatted category. I thought the best thing to do might be just to use the current name, but you might have a different (ie, more informed) view. I'd welcome any input. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 00:17, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Italian dual-code rugby internationals?

Could you please take a look at Angelo Arrigoni, Vincenzo Bertolotto, and Giovanni Bonino and assess whether you think they are suitable for inclusion in the List of dual-code rugby internationals? My concern is whether the players on the Italian 1950 rugby league tour of England, France, and Wales, can be considered as rugby league internationals, as they appear to have played against only club sides (albeit first grade club sides), and a regional South Wales XIII. Also, I don't believe there was a Federazione Italiana Rugby League (or similar) back in 1950, so can the tour be considered "official"? Best Regards. DynamoDegsy (talk) 14:23, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply! I think they've got a case. The intro to the List of dual-code rugby internationals talks about "senior international level" which an international side vs a first grade club could well be. The early NZ tours were conducted before the NZRFL was formed, I don't think thats a problem. Mattlore (talk) 21:01, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

I've added Angelo Arrigoni, Vincenzo Bertolotto, and Giovanni Bonino to the List of dual-code rugby internationals. Best Regards. DynamoDegsy (talk) 09:37, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

DYK for Teddy Bartram

I was thinking that a DYK for Teddy Bartram might be appropriate as according to the Rugby Football Union; "In 1879 came the first definite example of a rugby player being paid, with Teddy Bartram receiving money from Yorkshire club Wakefield Trinity.", making him the first professional rugby player. Could you please take a look at the article, and perhaps help me through the DYK process? Best Regards. DynamoDegsy (talk) 09:37, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Hey, it looks like a good fact for DYK but unfortunately to be eligible the page has to have been created in the last five days (or expanded fivefold in the last five days). Kind of silly, but thats the rule. Mattlore (talk) 00:19, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Oooh, denied. Looks like I'll have to be quicker out of the blocks next time. Best Regards. DynamoDegsy (talk) 06:33, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

SBW category

Hi Mattlore. I was just confused why you removed the category i added. I mean i know that SBW already has the dual international category, but i don't understand why that then removes him of having the other category added? Shouldn't it be that any relevant category should be added, even if it may seem repetitive? Thanks.Suid-Afrikaanse (talk) 11:06, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Hey, my logic was that because the dual international category is included in the cross code category then it is a duplicate. The same reason he is not in Category:Rugby league players because he is in Category:New Zealand rugby league players. Mattlore (talk) 20:46, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

I fully understand. So you're totally against adding it then? Because i personally don't see a problem with the repetitive-type nature of it...but if you're against it then i have no problem with that either. Thanks.Suid-Afrikaanse (talk) 08:26, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Just seems to be the consensus I've always come across. I'm not strongly against it though so if the consensus moves then I'm happy to go with that. Mattlore (talk) 21:21, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Fair enough.Suid-Afrikaanse (talk) 00:16, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

SBW photo

Hi Mattlore. What's your thoughts on removing the photo on Sonny Bill Williams's page of him in Bulldogs colours? I was just wandering because i find the image being of too poor quality really and would rather see it removed. Besides, there is already a good quality image of him in the article.

DYK for Meka Whaitiri

On 2 August 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Meka Whaitiri, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Meka Whaitiri, New Zealand's newest Member of Parliament, used to be a member of the Silver Ferns? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Meka Whaitiri. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Scoring for America's Cup

What I have put is correct. If you don't believe me, look in any newspaper.

2013 Roosters template

Hi Mattlore, just wandering: were the numbers you gave Cordner & O'Donnell the actual numbers they wore? I just thought it would make more sense to have an ordered sequence of numbers. Thanks.Suid-Afrikaanse (talk) 06:01, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Hey, yeah they were the actual numbers they wore. Cordner started whereas the others were on the bench. The final team list is here [2]. Mattlore (talk) 06:06, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
