I think you should use the irish rugby flag rather than the Rupublic of Ireland Tricolour as the Irish Rugby team is a team inclusive of both NI and ROI. The shamrock and white back ground is far more suitable, next to players names.

Agreed. This was voted on some time ago and the popular decision was that players from both 'Irelands' should be represented with a Shamrock rather than a national flag. You can copy the code from Munster Rugby.GordyB 14:11, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Harlequins badge.png

Image:Harlequins badge.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Plural?

This article can't seem to make it's mind up whether the Harlequin/s is single or plural.--Jeff79 (talk) 16:08, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

In British English, a team can be referred to as either "it" or "they". Both are correct.GordyB (talk) 20:36, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
No, what I meant was the article's name itself uses the single, Harlequin, as does the introduction, but everything in the infobox (the title, the logo and the full name), uses Harlequins with an 's'.--Jeff79 (talk) 05:15, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
