Fair use rationale for Image:Edinburgh rugby badge.png

Image:Edinburgh rugby 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.

Priorities

Why is the 06/07 Magners League gone over in such detail here? It's horribly out of date, we're nearly at the end of the 07/08 season for goodness sake! J.R., 14.39, 29 March 2008

Peer review

Edinburgh Rugby

As Edinburgh is one of Scotland's only two professional teams I feel it needs to be improved greatly. As a fairly new Wikipedian though I'm a little lost as to where to start. I've therefore submitted it to get a gauge from the more experienced among you on how to improve this. Cheers PeemJim86 (talk) 22:02, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

From User:Shudde

I have a few things that I can list. I'm not going to go into overwhelming detail, rather the broad stuff. If you want more detail do let me know:

The lead needs to be expanded as per WP:LEAD. It's really too small for an article of this length.
The History section could do with expansion; it doesn't really mention their playing history at all

at the moment.

The International players section could maybe be renamed notable players and delisted. Maybe have a certain requirement for listing there, e.g. a certain number of games for the club etc.
I would like to see a section on franchise records, both team and individual.
A section on the team's ground(s) is required.
A section on their name, colours, logo and so on would be good.
The article lacks references. The references that are present are formatted in a variety of ways. It's better to have them all one format. I would recommend looking at WP:CITET and having inline citations.
An image or two of the team playing would be great. Obviously free images aren't easy to find, but hopefully there is something out there.

Comment: I can sort this, I'm a season ticket holder so I'll try and take a few photos at the next game (April 11th I think) PeemJim86 (talk) 01:57, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's all I have at the moment. You may want to have a look at Crusaders (rugby) for an FA quality article on a domestic rugby team. It should be able to give you some ideas. If you need any help let me know on my talk page. - Shudde ^talk 05:20, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers! Gives me somewhere to start. It'll be reasonably medium term project as I'm quite busy for the next 6 weeks or so. If anyone else fancies a bash in the meantime be my guest PeemJim86 (talk) 01:57, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

From User:MacRusgail (copied from talk page - PeemJim86 (talk) 14:53, 12 April 2008 (UTC))[reply]

I think it's highly questionable that the current team dates back to 1872.--MacRusgail (talk) 22:49, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Changed: It doesn't, I mentioned this in the project talk page. I'll change it to 1996, I was looking for a prod in this direction. I was going to change this unless someone could give me a source that the current franchise is linked to the old district side. PeemJim86 (talk) 23:12, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

From User:Alistairjh

The results from 2006/07 won't really help in 2008. Also, more pictures would be useful - I'll try and find what I can! Alistairjh or 2o-DeMoN-o8 (talk) 19:37, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Results

Might want to update them for 2008? 2o-DeMoN-o8 (talk) 19:41, 2 November 2008 (UTC) (Copied to PR page by User)[reply]

Remove Magner's League & Heineken Cup Results/Tables?

The article currently include details of Magner's League Fixtures, Results and Table. The details currently given are out-of-date (they are for 2008/09) and will need continually updating after every match, and at the end of each season. Accurate and up-to-date details are available on the Magner's League website so. I propose that, rather than persist with a page of outdated information, the results and table be removed and a link to the Magner's website be left in their place. (Although the ideal situtation would obviously be for to do the updates after each round of fixtures, this isn't happening now and I think it unlikely that it will happen reliably in the future.)

Alternatively, the article could have the results and table from the last complete season - updated on this page at the end of that season.

Any thoughts? (The same would apply to the Heineken Cup fixtures and group tables)

I would take away the fixtures and table altogether, and just leave a link to the article on the current Magners League or Heineken Cup seasons. (talk) 07:30, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Karmstro (talk) 10:18, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As there were no dissenting voices, I have removed the old tables. Links for Heineken and Magners are at the foot of the page.Karmstro (talk) 14:41, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
