Talk:Sheffield Shield

message: This page is erroniously linked-to from the article on Sheffield Wednesday FC (an english Soccer team) on the Wikipedia Main page I don't know how to fix this but I bet it's easy done. This is fixed now. Thanks!
When did the states adopt their nicknames? Here in England we generally ignore them and stick with the plain state names, so I'm not sure when the change was made; I can't quite see "Southern Redbacks" playing in the 1890s! Loganberry (Talk) 23:41, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: :Image:Pura Cup logo.jpg 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 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.

message: What would be the reaction if I suggested renaming this article to Sheffield Shield?  At the moment, I think it's a good idea.  If the naming sponsor was ever to change, I think it would be an excellent idea.  (Incidentally I posted the same discussion on Ford Ranger One Day Cup - the reasoning for that article is better because it has had about 8 different names, but it doesn't have a obvious "neutral name".)  -- Chuq (talk) 09:22, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I actually came here to post the same thing if you can believe that. The NRL and AFL articles aren't called the Telstra/Toyota Premiership either, I think this should be renamed to the Sheffield Shield fwiw. Bongomanrae (talk) 09:56, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

message: The qualification of 20 innings is completely unrealistic in the modern competition, since the teams only play ten games in the normal season. StAnselm (talk) 10:19, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

message: In the intro section, in the box to the right, the most runs record is incorrect. It reads 12971 but should be 13635. Thanks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Australis Lupus (talk • contribs) 21:55, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

message: This article doesn't discuss if an actual shield exists now or has ever existed.  The Stanley Cup articles says "There are actually three Stanley Cups:..." and then goes on to describe them.  There should be a similar discussion in this article.

replies: text: Yes, there is a real shield. It's wood and metal. It's disappointing that we don't have picture of it. A Google image search will help you find it. With luck, you can see it here. HiLo48 (talk) 10:21, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
