Talk:Mark of the Year

message: All the other years have press sources showing who won mark of the year. 2007 only has an online link to afl.com which "might" go dead.
Surely, somebody discussed this in the press????????

thread_title:  Secondary source? 

message: Way too many mentions of the major sponsor for my liking.  One or two, max, for my taste.  Regards, Ben Aveling 09:38, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The sponsor is only mentioned 3 times, and only in the prose. What's the problem here specifically? --Flewis(talk) 14:20, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too commercial 

message: What is the correct title of the award?  Is it Mark Of the Year, AFL  Mark Of the Year, Austrailian Football League Mark Of the Year, or something else?  Whatever it is, it's what should be in bold in the first line and it should be the name of the article, with other variants and different cases (e.g. "of" instead of "Of" or vice-versa) created as redirects.  davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 14:24, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Officially it's known as The Toyota AFL Mark of the Year , however, as the competition is colloquially used and known as the Mark of the Year - that title would be considered the correct one according to wikipedia's naming conventions--Flewis(talk) 23:53, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Correct title? 

message: Wording like "Run within the paradigm of Australian Rules Football" is ridiculous.  Needs to more clearly explain what it is about. --Rulesfan (talk) 03:12, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article reads like crap 

message: mddawson1, a video uploader on Youtube for at least one of these videos, claims 
See also here and here.  Anyone know how to get this officially confirmed, or possibly get ABC to make some sort of ruling on this.  davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 02:03, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The YouTube link you provided acknowledges that these are coyrighted. Please feel free to contact the ABC, but until you have official word from them (and not a copyvio YouTube uploader's claims), these are copyvios and have to go. I heard from User:Ealdgyth on this. Please see under WP:C, specifically WP:LINKVIO, where the relevant text is ... if you know that an external Web site is carrying a work in violation of the creator's copyright, do not link to that copy of the work. Knowingly and intentionally directing others to a site that violates copyright has been considered a form of contributory infringement in the United States (Intellectual Reserve v. Utah Lighthouse Ministry [1]). Linking to a page that illegally distributes someone else's work sheds a bad light on Wikipedia and its editors. ... I see no indication that the copyright holders (AFL and/or broadcasters) posted these videos. Unless there is some clear Australian law that copyright on videos expires after a certain number of years that would affect the videos linked in this article, all of the links to YouTube should go. If the AFL or broadcasters have links to the Marks, then they could be linked. Ruhrfisch  ><>°° 00:13, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copyright status of ABC videos 

message: This award does not exist prior to 2001.
See AFL Record Season Guides e.g. 2008 page 509:
"Since 2001, the AFL has made weekly nominations for the official version of the Mark of the Year and the winner has been announced at the end of the season."
RossRSmith (talk) 09:12, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The AFL has existed in spirit, if not in name since 1987. As noted above, this MOTY competition has existed officially only since 2001. The names and dates 1970 to 2000 should be removed because they are not winners of an official AFL award.
RossRSmith (talk) 10:51, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  If my knowledge is accurate, MOTY awards prior to being an official AFL award was solely a Channel 7 award. Winners of the Channel 7 MOTY certainly warrant discussion in this article (they were universally recognised in an unofficial capacity by the football community as MOTY, and are a rich part of the history of the award), but clearly there is a need to clarify this discrepancy in better detail. Aspirex (talk) 11:17, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

text:  Yes, rather than stripping the list of so many entries, I'd be quite happy with that resolution. RossRSmith (talk) 11:25, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  History Dispute 

message: I was very surprised to see this article was a featured list, considering the flowery, non-neutral language: "huge screamer", "spectacular mark", etc. Some of the notes have quotations, but many have refer to "speckys" without a reference. StAnselm (talk) 16:49, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Entries on this list vary regarding the tense. I assume it should be past tense ("jumped"), but a few entries are in the present tense. Lots of the descriptions need to be rewritten in an encyclopedic tone, too. StAnselm (talk) 21:42, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed the tense myself; the unencyclopedic tone (e.g. "basically sitting in Magpie Gary Pert's arms") still needs to be fixed, though. StAnselm (talk) 21:47, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
