User talk:203.97.2.14

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I can't see why the upcoming fixtures can not be added to this page. If you look at most other national rugby teams and a lot of other sports teams wikipedia pages they include this. It is a very useful addition to the page.

Please add four tides (~~~~) after your comment. The fixture list is not at all encyclopediatic. This article is trying to get up to WP:FA status. It's something that is not neccessary and if you read the All Blacks peer review you'll see there have been comments that the recent fixtures and upcoming fixtures list is not suitable. Also, please read what wikipedia is not, it's not about advertising (the upcoming tests), not a directory, or an indiscriminate collecion of information. You may want to discuss on the All Blacks talk page before adding this again, let the whole community give feedback into the issue. However there is no point adding it if when the article is submitted for WP:FAC, it gets rejected because of this list. - 203.97.2.14 00:45, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Additionally, the upcoming fixture information is mostly in 2007 Tri Nations Series and 2007 Rugby World Cup, which will become permanent records of those games after the fact. If we create an article for All Blacks 2007 May/June Tests or some such, everything will be recorded without cluttering up the All Blacks article. --Stormie 00:53, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
I think having a separate article for the May/June tests would come under what wikipedia is not as well. The information is there, in good format in the 2007 Tri Nations Series and 2007 Rugby World Cup like you said, so I say we just keep it as is. Thanks for your input though. - 203.97.2.14 00:56, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
