Hi, adding Jason Pekepo and Tai Walter was an aide-mémoire for me to research these guys, but all I can find are references detailing them having made the Cook Islands squad. I assume that if they didn't play, unless they had a noteworthy club career, they wouldn't be notable, and should be removed from the template. Cheers.

Hi there Mattlore, now I could do some digging, but I sense you might know the answer by hard; is it possible to combine Template:Infobox rugby biography and Template:Infobox officeholder? I'm asking because I'm looking at Tu Wyllie, he already has the former, and he should also have the latter. Now I've seen bios display two infoboxes, but I think I've come across a discussion on nesting different type infoboxes. Schwede 66 04:39, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
Hey, sorry naah i wouldn't have much more information on Gibbs unfortunately. But i do have another page to suggest to you. Would you have heard of Marvin Filipo? Pretty sure he used to play for the Warriors. Any extra information on him would be pretty good. Thanks. Josh the newcastle fan ( talk) 11:52, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
You wouldn't happen to have any information on Percy Williams (rugby league) would you? Regards Mattlore ( talk) 22:35, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
Hey, first of all, thanks for all the work you've been doing with the redirects! However, with the Hull FC -> Hull changes, in some cases might it be better to leave the text as Hull FC to distinguish the club from Hull KR? Obviously im Australasian based though so you might have an alternative view? Mattlore ( talk) 20:38, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
Talking of scripts, would you know how one would go about writing a script to change, e.g. [[Rugby league positions#Prop|Prop]] to {{rlp|PR}}? Best Regards.

I was thinking of creating a " List of significant rugby league transfer fees" article, or adding the table to an existing article. Would you have any details of Australasian transfer fees? Best Regards. DynamoDegsy ( talk) 18:33, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
Off-contact/free-agent players do seem to be the way of things these days, Richie Myler being an exception. I was thinking that significant fees would be the progression of the world record fee, with additional entries for the highest fee paid for a particular position, e.g. Hooker is Lee Jackson?, Loose forward/ Lock is Derek Turner?, etc. Perhaps Richie Myler could be included as the most expensive teenager? I think the table should be sorted by adjusted fee, to give an insight to it's value in "real terms". Also, other than a note, I'm not sure whether I need to do more to differentiate between cash-only, and cash+player deals? In addition, when players swapped from RU to RL, prior to 1995 the RU club wouldn't recieve a transfer fee, but the player could receive a significant signing-on fee, e.g. Lewis Jones £6000 in 1952 (worth £382,000 now), is/was this ever prevalent in Australasia? Best Regards. DynamoDegsy ( talk) 08:20, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for fixing up the Marist Saints page. It was the first time i have ever edited a Wikipedia page and don't really know how to respond to talk yet. As you can probably guess from the images my interest is the Stormont Shield. The photos contain my father, grandfather, his brothers and great grandfather. I beleive the Stormont shield came about because of William Stormonts death from Rheumatic Heart disease in 1925. He contracted Rheumatic fever in WWI in France He went to France december 31 1917 when he was 16 or 18 (His death certificate says he was born in 1899 but my grandmother always told me he was 16 when he went to WW1). You definitely have an impressive body of work on Wikipedia. Stojo01 —Preceding undated comment added 09:36, 2 April 2011 (UTC).

I deleted this template as you requested, but I have noticed a number of articles now showing it as a redlink at the bottom, for example: Donna Awatere Huata, John Boscawen, Hilary Calvert, Deborah Coddington. I assume you know what other articles used it and will update them all to show the other one? Regards, JohnCD ( talk) 16:29, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Mattlore, do you fancy helping me tackle the omissions from the New Zealand dual-code rugby internationals? I think I've found four; Kurt Sherlock, Dave Solomon, George Spencer, and John Spencer, but if there are actually over thirty-five New Zealand dual-code rugby internationals, then it appears if there are a still a dozen-or-so player articles to create. Best Regards. DynamoDegsy ( talk) 14:56, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Would you know whether 'Bolla' played his NZ club rugby league for Ponsonby Ponies? Could 'Bolla' be a reference to a Bolla Tie/ Bolo tie. Best Regards. DynamoDegsy ( talk) 14:11, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I couldn't actually find anything linking the RLIF's Scott Carter to that Newcastle Knights player before I went ahead and started editing it. Could you? They might not even be the same person :P-- Jeff79 ( talk) 01:12, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi there, I see that you've recently created some RL bios, such as Mark Khierallah, but apart from an easily missed RLP link in the infobox, they could be considered by some to be unreferenced, which is in breach of our verifiability and WP:BLP policies. Could you try to ensure that all new bios have a reference to a reliable source, preferably independent of the subject (ie not his club website, but to a newspaper etc). Thanks. The-Pope ( talk) 16:02, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
Thanks. Of course you and Degsy laid the ground work by adding those long-missing Kiwis. Doesn't it make it so much easier to add citations for NZ DCIs when you have that tremendous AllBlacks site with so much biographical detail ? Now there are just a few Poms left in the article needing refs. Cheers - Sticks 66 11:05, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
Let me clear things up, All teams now have the flagicons as the nation the players is representing lets look at the Lebanese squad http://www.rleague.com/content/article.php?id=40818 Johnny Mannah, Reece Robinson are the most notable NRL players featuring in that team. The idea of having it this way as it is used in other sports such as Rugby union and football and it avoids confusion and plus it makes more sense. Youndbuckerz

I see that you are updating parlboxes. In my opinion, a start year should link to either the general election article, or the by-election article. If you concur, you might as well add those links whilst you are at it. And good work with all the draft MP pages. Schwede 66 02:46, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
On a related but completely different note, what do you think about the change that seems to be going on from this table of electorate results to this one. I prefer the old format but I guess I can live with the new one as long as the List results stay the way they are. The old table had more information (3rd and 4th placed candidates in each electorate). Mattlore ( talk) 02:39, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
Hey, that's ok, I don't have time to go through every individual article and argue a point but the articles that I don't think should be deleted are:
All will play or come close to first-grade in 2012, so they shouldn't be deleted anytime soon. The rest ( Shaun Boss, Harmony Hunt, Cruise Wilson, Alex McMillan (rugby league), Byron Fruean, Aaron Fairweather, Nicholas Dwan, Isaac Dargan, Dane Cordner) I am completely fine with deletion, although Fruean is still playing for the Roosters NSW Cup & Boss for the Knights NSW Cup, so you can do what you like with those. Those above I listed though I strongly think shouldn't be deleted for atleast a year anyway. Josh the newcastle fan ( talk) 09:13, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
Infact, I'll get the ones contracted to nobody out of the way myself, who do you know that has to power to delete articles? Josh the newcastle fan ( talk) 09:28, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed that you passed Gary Braid as OK. I think this article is in serious need of some tags. Perhaps you could consider revisiting the articles and placing the appropriate templates on it. Thanks. hHppy patrolling! -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 04:46, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

fyi... I see you creating alot of talk pages. In WikiProject Biography banner, the "priority" parameter is no longer. It has been replaced by sports-priority, musician-priority, etc. Also, you don't need to add "auto=yes", because you are not a bot and the article hasn't been assessed.

Hi Mattlore, the election is all pretty exciting, but you shouldn't really move unreferenced BLPs into mainspace - they could be deleted on sight. Let's make sure that they have a couple of refs first. Schwede 66 17:18, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi. In New Zealand general election, 1884, you recently added a link to the disambiguation page Thomas Thompson ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
