[edit] Wasps on England Team
"The 1980s saw an all time high representation of Wasps players in the England national side."
How many is that? Over what period? What was the most players at one time? Murkee 18:43, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Suspect this may have been equalled or surpassed in the last couple years. Atomicwasp 30 March 2007 (UTC)
As do I, especially with the back row. That's why we need stats, so an objective judgement can be made. Does anyone have any stats?

[edit] Expansion
I'd like to see this article worked up to featured article status, unfortunately I don't have the nitty-gritty waspish knowledge.
Obvious topics for expansion could include breaking down the professional era, more detail on how the club is managed (e.g. the role of Mr. Wright), and what is known about the future plans for the club, and our record.
Also, player biographies, many are blank. Murkee 11:49, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Peer Review
I've added a peer review request in order to get feedback on what the article needs to push up it's class....

The results will start to appear here

The Peer review is here
I really must find the time to start working through it.... when will *that* happen? :)

[edit] Comments
Two things... Firstly, in the infobox, the club's full name is listed as "London Wasps Holdings Ltd". Surely this should be "London Wasps" or "London Wasps RUFC" rather than just the name of the holding company which owns the club? That's a bit like "Manchester United FC" listing thier full name as "Red Football Ltd"!!
Also, the 1866 formation of Hamstead FC is noted as "citation needed". Is this necessary? Particularly given that this is stated as fact within the Harlequins article! -- MLD · T · C · @: 16:07, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Name
Is the name a reference to White Anglo Saxon Protestant, given that London Irish and London Welsh also exist? Or am I reading too much into it? I'm not being provocative, just curious. 157.190.228.23 (talk) 21:39, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
- You are reading too much, Wasp here means the insect. WASP is a designation mostly used in the USA, we don't use it much in the UK. In addition to which the word "London" was only fairly recently added to the name.GordyB (talk) 09:58, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Peacock Terms
I note that a header has been added about 'peacock terms'. I've had a glance through it and I can't see any which have not been justified - although admittedly I could be rather one eyed on this issue, as a Wasps season ticket holder.
One did spring out:
"London Wasps are one of the most successful English rugby union sides in recent years, having won at least one of each of the major European competitions or knock-out tournaments in the past decade. The team compete in the English club competition, the Guinness Premiership, the Anglo-Welsh competition the EDF Energy Cup and the European knock-out competition, the Heineken Cup."
The 'one of the most successful' is, I think, admissible given the justification that follows it.
With the 'peacock terms', can anyone spot the ones which are not justified? As I say, I may just be blind to them on this topic!

[edit] Riki Flutey
I have changed Riki Flutey's postion to centre (CT) as that is where he is usually active for Wasps. 88.106.143.1 (talk) 15:38, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
