Talk:Wigan Warriors

message: Should a mention of Harry Sunderland managing the club be inserted in the History's Early 20th Century section?--Jeff79 (talk) 02:55, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Harry Sunderland 

message: Have replaced the tricolour with the shamrock as the Ireland team is an all-Ireland team not the team of the Republic of Ireland. This is an agreement to do similar on the rugby union pages.GordyB (talk) 18:27, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Irish flags

message: [This] edit states that the club is formerly of Wigan, yet their web-site shows the stadium in Wigan...  Is Wigan Warriors of Wigan or not? --Ormers (talk) 21:37, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Im afraid youve stumbled into a long running debate/edit war on what constitutes Wigan that takes place on the Wigan Town/Borough wiki pages. Wigan the town itself is relativley small but the Wigan Borough is one of the largest boroughs in the country. The stadium itself is in Newtown, technically a village in and of itself on the edge of Wigan town Centre and home to a retail park and industrial estates. But for the most part the argument is semantics and Newtown is Wigan. 86.143.190.127 (talk) 14:13, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: "Formerly" based in Wigan...?

message: This version of the Wigan Warriors article features lists which are far too long and hostile for the unknowing reader, specifically sections 7-10. I propose splitting off such sections into a new article, a la List of South Sydney Rabbitohs records vs South Sydney Rabbitohs (a good article), so what content remains can be improved and referenced properly. The trivia section can also be dissolved and filtered afterwards too. GW(talk) 11:54, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: In the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats article the notable players and international caps sections were moved to List of Wakefield Trinity Wildcats players. I suggest that this would be a good first step.GordyB (talk) 12:01, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Players earning international caps should definitely be split off. I'm not sure records needs to be. For notable players the list simply needs to be reduced with some qualification. Perhaps simply the Wigan Hall of Fame along with those having had testimonial matches? The usual format for club articles is to have sections for 'History', 'Players', 'Records', etc. Under the 'Players' section there's usually a For more details see... link to the complete list of players and subsectons 'Current squad' and 'Notable players'. I think that format works fine. For some NRL clubs the "List of (club) players" is a complete players register. While this is a lot of work I think it's what works best for a list titled as such. Here we don't have a "List of Wigan Warriors players" but rather a "List of Wigan Warriors internationals".--Jeff79 (talk) 12:22, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There's a fair amount on RLP. Unfortunately, the fansite that keeps a database of its own doesn't have much information and is questionably a primary source anyway. There are books out there listing all of Wigan's players throughout history, however. I've made a start with 2009's players in my sandbox, and I'll aim to get three seasons' worth done before releasing it as an article. Looking good? GW(talk) 23:48, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Split-off 

message: I've RVed WiganWarriorsFan's new lead which despite a request for him to discuss here he inserted again.
Apart from some stylistic points, the only two additions that I can see him wanting to make are these:
This [Wigan's run of success in the late 80's/early 90's] is arguably what the club is most famous for. To support this, The Daily Mail selected a list of the top 50 most entertaining sports teams in history. Wigan's team from 1988-1995 finished 8th out of the 50.
and:
Wigan Warriors was crowned Club of the Year 2010 at the annual Super League 'Man Of Steel' awards dinner.
The first sentence strikes me as undue weight for the lead: surely it is enough to describe Wigan's run of success in terms of the trophies they won and leave it at that.  I also have doubts about the notability of a Daily Mail poll.
The second sentence is just too recentist for the lead. Haldraper (talk) 07:29, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not Wikipedia's job to be representing anyone, and saying other clubs are like this one isn't an appropriate rationale to use. If you notice other club articles are not up to stratch, improve them instead of arguing here. The fact is winning the SL trophy in 2010 is quite a small part of Wigan's much wider history. GW(talk) 23:06, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lead 

message: Hi all, I think we all may need to clarify the situation regarding the lead in relation to geographical location and come to a consensus. It was my understanding that the lead included the county even though, as a fellow editor pointed out, Wiki is written from a worldwide perspective. During my time as an active editor I understood to include the county was good practice. As I've been far less active the past year I could well now be wrong about that?  I've seen the lead altered on both this page and the DW Stadium page several times recently and think its time we clarified it. What are your thoughts guys?  Cheers Man2 (talk) 09:05, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Your understanding is correct; and it is correct to indicate the country.  A consensus of the form to use already exists.  It is along the lines: "[X] is an English [sport] club in [town], [county]."  So, here it is  Wigan Warriors is an English rugby league club based in Wigan, Greater Manchester.  We don't have the opportunity to use "English" in ground articles, where the consensus form gives us (e.g.) "The DW Stadium is a sports stadium in Wigan, Greater Manchester, England, that is home to Wigan Athletic football club and Wigan Warriors rugby league club."  Mr Stephen (talk) 22:01, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The convention is to include the county and I believe there's space in the opening sentence to show that the club is based in Greater Manchester (which is tailored to a UK-based audience) and England (for an international audience) without conflict. And that's pretty much what this edit does. Nev1 (talk) 22:12, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

text: I won't step in the way, so long as the nationality of the subject is clearly mentioned, as has been suggested here. GW(talk) 22:18, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Greater Manchester/England or none

message: The "Brigantes" were never an official supporters group and haven't been active for about 2 years now, I'm not sure they should be mentioned in the article alongside the Riversiders, or at all tbh. If they are worthy of a mention, it should be reflected in the article that they are now past tense. Cheers RugbyXIII (talk) 18:35, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
