- I've left a message on their talk page inviting them to come back and explain. AFL-Cool 04:46, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
- I didn't tag this article but the paragraph below is an example of what is wrong:
- In the 2008 Grand Final between The Ballarat Swans and Darley at Eastern Oval, Ballarat produced a grandstand finish. Swans captain Ashley Baker marked the ball on 50 in the dieing seconds to have a shot after the siren 1 point down. With the wind blowing right to left it would be a tough kick. It had to be Baker with 4 best and fairest awards at the Swans wins them a flag, the first in 20 years. He later won his fifth best and fairest at the awards night held at Darlson's Park, Alfredton. He is regarded by many[who?] as the Swans greatest ever player with 2008 premiership coach John Northley saying that he is the greatest as he has stuck with the club through the good and bad.
- The tone is not encyclopedic, with terms such as "grandstand finish" more suited for a newspaper report than an encyclopedia article. The whole para is too much detail for an article on the league not a player. -- Mattinbgn\talk 05:04, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for leaving the message, AFL-Cool, and I'm sorry I didn't watch the article for a longer time. I'm more of a copyeditor, and I tend to purge my watchlist after a few weeks. That paragraph indeed is a probably the reason why I tagged this article. It's unencyclopedic. You would never find anything like it in Encyclopedia Britannica. --SLi (talk) 10:33, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
