broncos 97' jersey

Hi

My name is Andrew, I would like a Brisbane Broncos 1997 Super League era jersey made. If this is possible can you email me at andy_roo_73@hotmail.com.

I look forward to your response.

Hi, I few points and please sign your comments: 1) I'm not in the habit of using my email for Wikipedia purposes and don't see the need to. 2) I'm extremely busy at the moment and can't exactly create jerseys like I did a year ago. 3) I'm not in the habit of making any more jerseys now anyways and 4) I believe I've already created a 1997 Broncos jersey which can be found at my gallery.

Cricket images

Hi, I saw your posting at the cricket project on the availability of some images. I've been creating articles in Category:Indian women cricketers and could use some of your images. Can you upload the following: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6] and [7]? These images will definitely help the rather bare articles. cheers! -SpacemanSpiff 21:52, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Done

Widnes Vikings Rugby League Kit

Hello,

I was wondering if you could make a home and away image for the Widnes Vikings Rugby League Team.

Home Jersey: http://www.oneills.com/images/shop/products/1164-large.jpg

Away Jersey: http://www.oneills.com/images/shop/products/1163-large.jpg

Shorts: (Same Shorts Used For Home and Away) http://www.oneills.com/images/shop/products/1356-large.jpg

Could you upload these to Wikimedia commons when completed and let me know? As I want to use them on the Vikings page.

Thanks

Yeah, I might get around to them, they are complecated jerseys and will take time, so it may not be for a week or two. The Windler talk 22:20, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

New Jerseys

Hi, I'm Josh. I saw that you made a few jerseys here and there and I was wondering when the 2010 NRL jerseys were to be created. No rush, but i'd like to know. Josh the newcastle fan (talk) 14:07, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of NCIS Staff

I'm not sure what happened but the AfD you created was incomplete. Only the discussion page was created. I've completed the AfD for you as per WP:AFDHOWTO, but if you use Twinkle to create another AfD it's a good idea to make sure all the steps have been followed. --AussieLegend (talk) 12:59, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

owen craigie no break

Hi, I was wondering why you have removed the {{nobreak}} from Owen Craigie's article? I presume it was agreed somewhere but I either don't know about it or can't remember. Ever coming back to WP:RL? LunarLander // talk // 17:42, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Sort of, wasn't really a decision Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Rugby league/Archive 12#Template_.7B.7Bnobreak.7D.7D, but I remove {{nobreak}} if used in the template. I still read [[[WT:RL]], but unless there is something I don't agree with, I'm don't usually edit rugby league during the off season. The Windler talk 20:59, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

I've had a read, that's fair enough. LunarLander // talk // 23:00, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

I was surprised you did that too, Windler. Isn't the smaller gap between field and title (which affords more space for club names) what we wanted? Maybe using that nobreak template isn't the ideal way, but doesn't it give us some insight on how to ultimately solve the problem? I'm frustrated by having to abbreviate so many clubs' names, and there appeared to be consensus at Template talk:Infobox rugby league biography for the gap between fields and their names to be closed somehow.--Jeff79 (talk) 05:05, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Generally, the use of {{nobreak}} increases the infobox's width overall, with SS Rabbitohs, it is probably the maximum width you could go without expanding the width of the infobox. Try St George Illawarra Dragons, and you get a width increase of the template, so I agree using {{nobreak}} is not the way, I'm fine with the smaller gap, how maybe something to ask someone else. The Windler talk 07:35, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Oh ok. I thought you were one of the main editors of the infobox who got it to where it is now. Admittedly, coding for infoboxes is not a strong point of mine.--Jeff79 (talk) 09:49, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

I believe I was, but MDM did all the coding with the infobox, and I did a little tweaking. I also can't remember every rule/guideline about the infobox anymore. It's been over a year since the infobox has been as it is, and I'm not as dedicated to Wikipedia as I once was. The Windler talk 10:48, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Widnes Vikings 2010 Strip

Hi Windler,

I was wondering if you would be able to knock up images for the Widnes Vikings 2010 strips? 2010 Home Strip and 2010 Away Strip as I'm looking to use it for a couple of Wikipedia articles. Cheers

Template:NCIS television

Why I removed character links and some of the episodes links is because they all link to the same page. Using WP:NAV as a guideline, it suggests linking to existing articles. Subsections aren't articles, though that may just be my interpretation. BOVINEBOY 2008 :) 02:44, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

I have seen many characters in navigations lead to sub sections. The problem is that because it is a new series, the pages might not quite pass the notability test, especially if people aren't willing to source the character articles. Though presuming the series goes longer, maybe even less than a year, the character pages will eventually be created like NCIS. The Windler talk 03:07, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't really have too much of a problem, i.e. I don't revert it back. But I do tend to remove them. Thanks for understanding my quirkiness. BOVINEBOY 2008 :) 04:41, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Brisbane Broncos

The article Brisbane Broncos, to which you seem to be among the main contributors, is undergoing a review as part of the good article sweeps project. The article does not seem to meet current requirements for a good article. It has been put on hold for a week; if these issues are addressed satisfactorily within that period the article will be kept as a GA, otherwise it will be delisted. Lampman (talk) 05:35, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I will fix it up, in the coming days. The Windler talk 22:40, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Knights Jersey

Hey, do you still make jerseys for wikipedia such as this? If you do could you create the current Knights away jersey for 2010. PS. When you click on the link, just go down a tiny bit. Thanks! Josh the newcastle fan (talk) 16:16, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes, however, I will be making them after the NRL season starts in March, so I can make them in a batch, rather than individually. The Windler talk 22:40, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi Windler, Could you also add Widnes Vikings 2010 strips? To your list when you start please? 2010 Home Strip and 2010 Away Strip as I'm looking to use it for a couple of Wikipedia articles. Cheers

Updated NRL jersey images

Joel, Are you creating the 2010 jersey images for NRL sides, I have been updating the Storm page and it would be good to have the updated images?

GA reassessment of Melbourne Storm

I have conducted a reassessment of the above article as part of the GA Sweeps process. You are being notified as you have made a number of contributions to the article. I have found some concerns which you can see at Talk:Melbourne Storm/GA1. I have placed the article on hold whilst these are fixed. Thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:18, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Away Jersey

Hi, i know you're not making any jerseys 'till the start of the NRL season, but i was looking through some jerseys and saw that one was missing. In the following link the man in the middle is wearing the Newcastle Knights away jersey from 1988-1999. When you get around to it could you please create it? Cheers. Josh the newcastle fan (talk) 07:56, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

I'll add it too the list I'll be making a huge batch of around the end of March. The Windler talk 07:57, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Though I will need proof it is from 98-99, and what the shorts looked like. The Windler talk 07:58, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Allright, i'll look around for some sources. Josh the newcastle fan (talk) 08:03, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Wikiproject Rugby league participants

Hi there! Could you please help me out to put my name on the participants at Wikiproject Rugby League? I'd like to join up but I can't work out what the number to the left of the names mean. I support Manly. --Wikitoov (talk) 07:22, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Jerseys

I made a somewhat pathetic effort at making St Helens home, away and heritage jerseys but I couldn't really utilize Inkscape as you are able and ended up trying to use Paint but it's very scrappy. You mentioned that you are in "jersey making mode", so if you could find the time, could you improve on my attempt.

I would be very appreciative if you could,

Thanks,

Widnes Vikings 2010 Away Jersey

Hi Windler, first of all would like to say thank you for creating the Widnes Vikings 2010 strip for me. It's much appreciated!
I was wondering if you could create the 2010 away strip too? The home kit is looking a bit lonesome on the infobox for the 2010 Widnes Vikings season article :)
Here is a link to the 2010 Away Strip. The shorts can just be plain coloured the same as the dark colour on the jersey.

Cheers Windler. It lokks awesome! Do you have any links to any good linkscape tutorials? As I would like to create a history section with a back catalogue of all Widnes' previous kits. So wouldnt mind learning how to make teh shirts so I can do it myself.

Jersey requests

Hi, could you make the jerseys from the All Stars game please? I think they would be a good addition to the collection of representative jerseys if you have time. LunarLander // talk // 15:50, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

No, first it would take me infinite amount of time to create the Indigenous jersey, and secondly, that jersey is based off a painting, so it may not be free for me to just put it on a jersey. Same with the NRL All stars one. The Windler talk 08:21, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Just so you can write on your gallery, this is the New Zealand Warriors 15th year anniversary jersey this year. Josh the newcastle fan (talk) 03:14, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Warriors heritage jersey

Hey, I'd imagine this one would be a massive pain to do, but the Warriors heritage jersey for the year can be seen here[8][9]. I'm not sure how many games they are going to wear it for, possibly only once in the Heritage round. Mattlore (talk) 09:56, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
