Talk:Highlanders (rugby union)

message: This article's name really needs to be changed to the Highlanders, as the team ceased to be known as the "Otago Highlanders" a number of years ago. Unfortunately I don't know how to do it, can someone help? Eastpaw
: I've changed to Highlanders. In case you are interested, if you want to change the name of an article just look to the tabs above the page and next to history is the text move. You go in there and type what it should be called. Lummie 14:28, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Maps 

message: # The main article is quite stubbish in terms of content - its the navigation boxes which are making articles too large - categories do this far more efficiently. I would much rather read a single article such as Crusaders (rugby) then have to read several articles on the one topic, with (of necessity) repeated background information in each. If the merge is rejected, then I would suggest a name change to either History of the Highlanders (rugby) or History of the Highlanders rugby franchise as being more appropriate, since Highlander is a relatively generic word. dramatic (talk) 20:38, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Support

message: Referring to the Highlanders as they and not it is fine. For example "They play in the Super 14" and not "It plays in the Super 14". This is a group of people, and so is acceptable. For example this article  from the NZ Herald. That article says "that relied on playing clinical rugby because they lacked the big-name game breakers other teams possessed" not "that relied on playing clinical rugby because it lacked the big-name game breakers other teams possessed" (I added emphasis). The article is written this way, and should not be changed. - Shudde talk 08:04, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Can we get a criticism section added? I understand criticism has been expressed of Andrew Hore being added to the Highlanders team given that he has a conviction for shooting protected fur seals on the Otago Peninsula. Many have expressed that they do not wish to see Hore represented as a role model to children, and the Highlanders were criticized further for refusing to respond to this situation. This is currently unresolved.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.188.14.114 (talk) 05:04, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
