replies: text: The SOO site isn't reliable, but its got good source for player info. For example of the unrealibility, every game is stated that NSW won. Apparently NSW won Game II, 2006 30-6 and the fullback was Neil Hunt (for those who don't know, QLD actually won 30-6 and the fullback was Karmichael Hunt.  The Windler  talk  06:21, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I noticed the Blues seemed to have won an awful lot more than I remembered. But, that's fine by me. I've been cross-checking everything so far with stats.rleague.com and then just using soo.com for bits of profile. It's not so easy to find info on past players so I think we are doing A Good Thing by adding it to Wikipedia. ~ Florrie • talk • 07:54, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: To do

message: State of Origin.com lists Brian Hetherington in 1986, game 3, but Rugby league stats lists Brian Johnston, not Hetherington. I can't find any source that lists Brian Hetherington as a SOO player. Does anyone know otherwise? Btw, the Brian Johnston on wikipedia is/was a cricket commentator, not the RL player, so I'll put him on the list for a new entry. ~ Florrie • talk • 01:00, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Please remember that in the lead paragraphs on former players we either say "Laurie Daley is a former rugby league player" or "Ken Irvine was a rugby league player" depending on whether they are alive or dead. -Sticks66 14:39, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, but from my knowledge Peter Jackson (rugby league) is the only dead State of Origin player. I may be wrong.  The Windler  talk  01:30, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I have added a new template .
What it does is the following:
 

which links you to the website
http://www.stateoforigin.com.au/soogame/PlayerDetails.aspx?Pid=101
Notice the 101 at the end, whatever player you go to, add that number.
If the player article has (rugby league) on the end of it.
You need to add the parameter:
 
Hope that helps.  The Windler  talk  08:13, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: New Template

message: I've been wondering about the redlinked "Scorers" link in the Portal Box for State of Origin.  What is intended to be put here ? It seems that all the Series pages already contain each game's score summary (in fact some contain only that). So if we're going to have the Series pages contain all the scoring detail then I don't suppose we need separate scoring detail pages. Unless of course it was intended for SoO scoring statistics per player accumulated over their Origin career. What do y'all think ? What was the initial idea ? -Sticks66 11:16, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Scorers

message: Whilst the coaches don't appear in the team list on Players (and rightly so) I'm going to continue the practice that Museeumofinanity has started of putting them in the team line ups on each series page such as here. But on the question of the image colours next to coaches' names I don't agree they should be given the State colours. I think it's as relevant to the page that Gus Gould was Penrith (or Easts) coach at the time he was NSW SoO coach as it is that Andrew Johns was from Newcastle. Consensus ? -Sticks66 08:45, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, the coachs should be what club they are with when they coached the team. But for coaches that don't have a team (such as Mal Meninga and Phil Gould in his later years) I would use :Image:Black.jpg which is what I used for Allan Langer in 2001 (when he had no club).  The Windler  talk  10:15, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Not sure about black. The lack of a club colour whatsoever (as appears earlier in the piece for some players) would be better (black might indicate they play for a team with black colours) unless directly clarified. Also, wasn't Langer brought back from Warrington (Super League UK) from memory? Surely the SL clubs have icons?121.208.19.160 (talk) 11:06, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm just about ready to take on the NSW History article that's redlinked in our SoO Info /Link box (what do you actually call those boxes ? ). Obviously Qld's existing article is written from a Qld POV so I though I might mirror this for NSW writing on relevant NSW history and events from a Blue perspective. But I'm very confused by the two distinct yet very similar Qld history articles. Our box links to Queensland state rugby league team history which is an extract from the history subsection of Queensland state rugby league team. It can't be right that we have these two distinct articles can it ? They were obviously initially the same but now contributors can edit one or the other so they read differently at the tail. Can we, the SoO Taskforce form consensus and take action on what happens with these two so that I can tackle NSW's article similarly in its approach and location. -Sticks66 02:47, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I think it was 1998 that it first became the Harvey Norman SoO and have seen shots of both Blues and Maroons wearing that logo on their shorts that year. I think in 1997 it was the Coca-Cola SoO. Can anyone confirm or disagree ? -Sticks66 14:45, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: They celebrated the 10 years of sponsorship this year, so I would agree.  The Windler  talk  20:40, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

message: As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level.  The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
*The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.  
*The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.  
*A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.  
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at :Category:C-Class_articles.  If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages.  The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles. 
Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme.  This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year.  Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

message: Hi!  I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate.  This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.
All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group.  If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot (Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:27, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects.

message: Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
