User:Gibson Flying V (talk · contribs · logs) has been on Wikipedia since early 2007, materially editing and creating several articles, mostly on the topic of "the greatest game of all". Really caring about Wikipedia means resolving to have it come down on the right side of every content editing choice, important and unimportant alike. The right or wrong side is less readily discernible by the diverse group of people who click 'edit' than one might think. This is why Wikipedia:Verifiability is so important, as well as Wikipedia:Competence is required.

Oh, and no one wants to hear it, but I have the solution to the Australian flag debate and New Zealand flag debate right here.

The Greatest Game of All

edit

Oh, there's nothing like the spectacle of a test match in full roar,
with the forwards charging, backs are stepping, running at full bore.
The Pommies and the Kiwis and the Frogs all play real keen,
but we take on all comers and Australia reigns supreme.
So whether you're on The Cricket Ground, Lang Park or the bush,
you're still gonna run, you're still gonna tackle and the scrums have got the same push.
You give it some then you get some more and you really give your all,
playing rugby league football it's the greatest game of all.

Club football to be included

edit
If anyone wants to discuss these guidelines or point out any necessary re-wording, by all means, please do so on my talk page or at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Rugby league.

As much as I think a case-by-case approach will just lead to more problems down the track, it seems that hard and fast rules about which club football is to be included in the {{Infobox rugby league biography}} (and which is not) for all players are unworkable. Maybe the best thing is if a guidline could be agreed to for different general types of players' cases. It should be understood that an article's infobox is not a substitute for its body text. The infobox is merely an added extra, to be used as a common point of reference amongst all individuals for quickly locating the most pertinent/commonly-sought information about them. When it comes to what football an individual played or coached is to be included, an exhaustive list, regardless of notability (e.g. a list including school-age representative teams alongside full international test teams) is a poor option for rugby league. I find the following tests useful when deciding on inclusion:

  • Considering the row of 'Totals' (for matches, points, etc.) at the bottom of the 'Club' sections. Will these totals give a skewed representation of a player's career in cases where lower level data is mixed with top-level data?
  • Considering whether, during the time spent at a club, it is/was likely, or even possible, for a player to be selected for representative football (which would be present in the "Representative information" section). If, while playing at a particular club, a footballer is selected to play representative rugby league, then clearly that club football is noteworthy. This is also important as time spent in a representative team must have corresponding time spent in a club team so as to avoid the impression that a player came from retirement or obscurity to play representative football. Note that this does not apply to coaching data.
  • Considering continuity. Will excluding football played at a club leave unexplained gaps in the data that are likely to raise questions in the minds of readers? If so, this will strengthen the case for inclusion.
  • Considering whether data for years, games, tries, goals, field goals, points, etc. is available for football played for a side. If it is available (and citeable), this will strengthen the case for inclusion.

Perhaps the following (which are based on the above), if agreed to, could form the basis of such a guidline.

Based on the above, I propose the following guidlines (remember, 'exclude' does not mean exclude from the article, it just means from the infobox. Information about this football can be detailed in the body text or even other additional tables in the article):

Football played (or coached) at clubs in the:

  • NRL - include all
    • Toyota Cup - exclude all
  • Super League - include all
  • Pre-1996 Rugby Football League (regardless of division) - include all (unless someone has a better idea. I don't)
  • French domestic competitions - include all
  • New Zealand domestic competitions
    • Pre-1995 - include all
    • Post-1994 - exclude all
  • NSWRL/ARL/SL:
    • First-grade - include all
    • Non-first-grade - exclude all
  • Brisbane Rugby League & Newcastle Rugby League:
    • Pre-1988 first grade - include all
    • Pre-1988 non-first-grade - exclude all
    • Post-1987 - exclude all
  • Illawarra Rugby League
    • Pre-1982 first grade - include all
    • Pre-1982 non-first grade - exclude all
    • Post-1981 - exclude all
  • post-1995 Rugby Football League (e.g. National Leagues 1 & 2) - include some (see guidelines)
  • Queensland country competitions - include some (see guidelines)
  • New South Wales country competitions - include some (see guidelines)
  • Queensland Cup - exclude all
  • New South Wales Cup - exclude all
