Talk:Wests Tigers

message: I've added some sections to cover the NYC and State Cup teams as I think this kind of thing belongs in this page. I realise the page may be getting a bit long so maybe the history section can be its own page some time soon. Thoughts everyone? 
Also I've plonked the new bits afer history but happy to discuss where they should be assuming everyone is happy to keep them. Tigerman2005 (talk) 09:36, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Since its now 07 and the 06 season was pretty dismal anyway I think it could be reduced in size aomewhat, the individual game headers are a bit much. Thoughts? - Tigerman2005 (May 8)
:Agreed. Some clubs have articles that detail previous seasons, so you might wanna just move the information there so none is lost.--Jeff79 19:45, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I'd like to amend the weight section in the current player list to show kgs followed by stone/pounds rather than the way it is listed now, if no-one minds. I've never seen pounds abbreviated to 'p' before and most readers would relate more to st/lbs that just pounds, wouldn't they? Unless they are from the U.S. Florrie 05:59, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I was about to start editing the weight details for the current players but why do we need the weights, height, nicknames etc on the Club page at all? This is all information that can be covered on the individual player page in the player info box, if not in the text. A simple table with player name, country of origin and position would be much cleaner. The pages for Brisbane Broncos (good article), Sydney Roosters (featured article) and Rabbitohs (A-class article) use this format as do others. Florrie 14:30, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Replaced old list with rugby league squad template as no objections raised. Old list saved to sandbox for reference/cross-matching info on player pages. Florrie 14:48, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

text: Yes, that'd be good. I've half got one done on the Tim Sheens entry (as in, half the info is already there, not that the Sheens table is half done!) Wouldn't take me long to do one up for the Tigers with the additional information. I'll have a look at it in the next day or two. Florrie 13:06, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Not saying anything is wrong with it but is anyone interested in discussing some of the sections to see if any revision/editing needs to be done? I'd love to get this thing up to a really high standard. Tigerman2005 (talk) 13:27, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: SpecialWindler just did a heap of work on the history in the last few weeks and made the uniform graphics for the page. I want to expand the Stadium and uniforms section and I think I'd like to see the player records/teams of the century etc on a separate page. I also have articles for Craig Field and Norm Robinson on my to-do list. What do you propose? •Florrie•leave a note• 10:13, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think the page is looking a lot better these says. I agree with your suggestions about team of the century and player records. I would change 'context' to background and possibly reword parts of it - mention Wests move from Lidcombe to Campbelltown and how they were kicked out of the NSWRL. Also as I suggested the map is wrong. 1908 Wests were closer to the city. I was a Balmain Football club member and I don't even remember merger with Gold Coast being seriously considered. Parramatta yes. Maybe the final paragraph should be moved into an "early years" chapter. It just seems to me the playing section should be separate from the off field stuff.

message: don't think so? they hardly play any games, it is only used for special one off NRL games. Michellecrisp (talk) 11:14, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: far from it. home grounds implies that they also train there. some NRL "home" games are moved occassionally to Central Coast Stadium, that does not make it a home ground. There is no reference to west tigers on the SCG official website. Only the Sydney Swans and NSW cricket side are official home sides. I'm removing it from this article. Michellecrisp (talk) 04:59, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Implies? On your reasoning ANZ should also be removed! Wests Tigers train at Concord Oval and only on special occasions at Leichhardt and Campbelltown.  I agree with the removal of the SCG as a 'home ground' but not your logic. •Florrie•leave a note• 06:07, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: not necessarily train there, but most clubs do train at one of their "home grounds" ok sometimes on special occasions. The easiest test is to see if it's listed on the club's official website, or the ground's official website. SCG fails on 2 counts for Wests Tigers. Michellecrisp (talk) 13:11, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No you're creating your own conditions for a home ground. SCG may no longer be listed on their website because the team has no more games there - that doesn't mean it was in the past. Your other argument is severly flawed. Souths train at Mascot so do they have no home ground? As Florrie points out the club hardly ever train anywhere apart from Concord. For all we know the WT might have trained at the SCG before the Souths game. If its not a home ground, how do you regard the SCG? It's in the same boat at ANZ Stadium, it's listed as a home game and the club decided to play it there. It really depands what you consider a "home ground". I'm not right, you're not right - it is a matter of opinion. Can you have a home game not on a home ground? My other gripe is your rapid and unilateral decision to remove it. That's not really the way to do things - Wikipedia is not your exclusive domain. It is far better to do things by consensus. I don't care enough about this issue to do a revert but you should realise people like Florrie put a lot of effort into this page and you should let a debate run its course before making changes. Its really not THAT important that you needed to rush into it. Tigerman2005 (talk) 13:24, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

text:  You clearly have no idea what original research is. Fact is, there is no agreed determination of what a home ground is. It is easy to demonstrate through evidence that the Wests Tigers used the SCG for a home game this season. On that basis alone it is by definition a home ground, a ground which hosted a home game. It was not dictated by the NRL because of the centenary year, it was the club's choice. It is not the grounds who decide, it is the club itself. Anyway you miss the point, its your attitude that is the bigger problem rather than the homeground issue. Tigerman2005 (talk) 13:58, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Please resist comments on editors and comment on topic, see WP:NPA. Original research is inventing a definition that a home ground " a ground which hosted a home game". Central Coast Stadium, Westpac Stadium and North Sydney Oval have been used as grounds for NRL games, these are not home grounds either. You are making up a definition that suits WP:FANCRUFT. there is nowhere on the official SCG website which says it's an official home ground for the Tigers. Michellecrisp (talk) 00:50, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

text: very simple. If they choose to play their designated home games there, than it is one of their home grounds. Back in the days before the SFS, all the best football was played at the SCG and both clubs have cultural connections to the ground due to the fact that Balmain won 11 grand finals there and wests won 4 grand finals there, plus the countless matches of the week that both were involved in there. They are hardly trying to capture new fans there, unlike the central coast et alia games, so it is one of their home grounds.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.172.251.46 (talk) 14:31, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

message: We have a page for club records - List of Wests Tigers records - and I would like to suggest that we move the player records section of tables from the main article here to the records page, with a link. If you have a look at the Sydney Roosters article, which has featured article status, there is a text section for records  with a link to their List of Sydney Roosters records article. It is certainly more readable and would de-clutter our main article. The other thing we need for records and stats is references! Any thoughts?  florrie  01:32, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Makes sense to me. The best reference for records is the annual year book that Middleton does. Haven't come across anything online that is updated on a regular basis. Doctorhawkes (talk) 11:32, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

message: What is the criteria to be considered a player "of note"? I'm surprised Cayless would be listed before he has played a game.  Doctorhawkes (talk) 02:18, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been wondering, too, since the addition of Cayless. It appears to be very subjective. To be honest, I don't know why there are current players on the list at all and I'm not sure what some of the other players have done to gain notability. If we went on Wikipedia's idea of "notability" every former player would be there. I'm more inclined to delete the section and leave the combined Team of Legends, which is verifiable and the representative players, also verifiable.   florrie  02:34, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
