Why did you join WikiProject Rugby League? Do you support a club team and/or representative team, and if so who?

Answer 1:
I felt the project needed another fairly active member as a few of the rugby league pages needed more updating/tidying up and other RL topics needed articles creating. I follow Wigan Warriors home and away and also give my support to the England national rugby league team. RugbyXIII (talk) 20:54, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]


I love reading history of sports articles and wikipedia (especially with early newspaper digitization and books etc.) offers a great opportunity to make some really good pages. I support Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:16, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Have you significantly contributed to the WikiProject's articles, or even helped to promote articles to Did You Know, Good Article or Featured Article status?

Answer 1:
I like to think I've made an impact on the rugby league articles in my short time as a Wikipedian. I have yet to achieve a DYK, GA or FA article yet, however. RugbyXIII (talk) 20:54, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]


I have expanded a few and I think have a DYK or two but not buffed anything to GA or FA yet. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:16, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The French Wikipedia also has an active Rugby league wikiproject. Have you ever made contact with members of the wikiproject? If not, do you plan to in the future?

Answer 1:
To be honest, no. I do not speak or understand French and my knowledge of the game in France beyond the Catalan Dragons is limited. RugbyXIII (talk) 20:54, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Are there any areas of rugby league that are not well represented on the English Wikipedia? I noticed that the French Wikipedia has a page for the Elite One Championship whilst the English Wikipedia does not.

Answer 1:
The amateur game in Britain and Europe definitely needs more coverage on the English Wikipedia. RugbyXIII (talk) 20:54, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Aussie player coverage is patchy and real lack of audited content (GA/FA) compared with other areas of wikipedia. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:16, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What are the long-term aims of the WikiProject? How could a new editor help the WikiProject?

Answer 1:
The standard of the Association Football articles on Wikipedia tend to be very high, so I think achieving similar levels should be a main goal. A new editors goal, like mine, should simply be the improvement of the rugby league Wikipedia articles and in the long run, GA's & FA's should be targets.
