Australian Baseball articles[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia, i noticed you made some contributions to the Baseball SA article, would you be interested in helping with other related Australian Baseball articles? feel free to add more information to that and related articles every piece helps to get these articles on the road to completion. cheers mate --Dan027 12:31, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dan027, thanks for the welcome. I am certainly happy to help out with other baseball related articles. I have grown up watching and playing the game here in South Aus and will be posting a club page for Southern Districts Hawks very soon. Is there a standard template for Aust Baseball Teams that I should be following?? Cheers --Sjstats 02:53, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

theres no standard template at this point in time, seeing your making the first club article we might work on some form of template with that one as we do it. --Dan027 08:27, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, so what I have started with on the SDBC page is a basic club history, club details, and a few of the League awards. (Took the ideas from the SANFL team pages) Also borrowed the Aus sporting team info box idea. Need to add a few more things but it is starting to come together. Will look at adding an article on the Capps Medal as it is the biggest award in SA Baseball (a la Brownlow in AFL).--Sjstats 06:26, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thats looking good, in the next few days i might work on an more elaborate info box similar to what i have been using on the ABL team pages, including the uniform, i find this a nice touch instead of just reading what the uniform looks like. and including the premierships and runner ups in the info box. i have also left a message on the Baseball SA article about creating a list of teams to also include lower divisions, but not to make articles for them, i believe the Division 1 clubs would be pushing the notability requirements. also are teams religated up and down divisions? --Dan027 12:55, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Teams are not relegated up and down in a set process. In the most part clubs field their top team in Div 1 and then other teams down the grades until the players run out. Some clubs have multiple teams in lower grades. Only a few clubs (Playford, Henley and Grange, Flinders Uni) are not strong enough to have Div 1 teams and hence their top team plays in Div 2 or 3 etc. If they continually won their top grade then the League would look at promoting them up a grade but there is no formal process any more. I think we should list the other clubs, not sure about winter clubs as they are not really aligned with summer clubs as such and indeed a few clubs have their own winter leagues (i.e. at Souths we have 14 winter ball teams playing in a Southern Winterball comp)

Southern Districts[edit]

i have been working on a special template tonight and came up with this User:Dan027/TestPage2, i will correct the uniform once the correct template his been created, any ideas? alterations? additions? --Dan027 11:17, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I like it, I would think club song would be the only other thing perhaps.

From the Editor

This 1st edition doesn't have a whole lot in it, as you can see. At this stage its more of a call to action than anything else: anyone wanting to help out the task force is more than welcome to join in. Even if you don't feel you have something you can contribute, please spread the word to others who might.

My intention is to try and put this out once a quarter or so at this stage - assuming anyone's interested in receiving it. If things pick up and there's plenty to put into the newsletter, then it might come out a little more often. The only people that received this who have not specifically requested it are people listed as members of the task force itself. To those people: I'll move you guys to an 'inactive' list if I don't hear back one way or the other, and you won't keep receiving the newsletter after this- I'm using this to poke those that are still active into coming by the task force pages every once in a while.

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia[edit]

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest!
