Australian rules football[edit]

I'm nominating this article for featured article because it meets all nomination criteria, is fully referenced, easy to understand and comprehend, and is well over due for a nomination. Aflumpire 10:47, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment from myself when reading the article, please remove anything that does not make sense as I have had to just remove a whole load of crap from the article. Please don't mark that down. If it's bad, move it, delete it, whatever. Most Australian's think that outsiders don't know anything (im an Australian saying that!!!) Aflumpire 10:54, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The bulk of this article is missing citations. The citations that are there are not formatted properly. The See Also and External links sections are way too long. Karanacs 15:29, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Eeek! This wouldn't even pass GA with the lack of citations! Carre 17:15, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - sorry, not too far off. Will need alot of refs which should be fairly easy to find, and some combining of stubby paras and some copyediting. Though the prose is actually pretty good on cursory inspection. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 23:15, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - Hi Aflumpire, and thanks for the FAC nom. Unfortunately, the article isn't close to the current FA criteria. It needs a lot more referencing from reliable sources. The sources also need to be formatted using {{cite web}}. When some of this has been done, please don't hesitate to leave a note on my talk page, or nominate the article for good article status (criteria). Cheers, — H₂O — 09:37, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The sources don't have to be formatted used {{cite web}} (although that's the easiest way to do it), but they need to follow an accepted formatting style. (WP:CITE is the best place to start). Good luck! Karanacs 13:44, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
