WP:NOT

I recently cleaned up this article a whole lot. This page seems to have been edited primarily by Collingwood supprters, but try to keep it neutral. Things like "he may go on to be captain" or "he is the messiah to the collinwood supporters" are really not helping the encyclopedia in the long run.

new page edit

Too many pictures

Can we get rid of some of them? QazPlm 02:05, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agree this article has far too meny for the amount of text. Its more like a photo board. --220.237.166.156 14:35, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Still way too many pictures. I vote that the majority of the images be up for deletion. Nicwright 04:24, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Images for Deletion

I've gone ahead and put almost all the pictures on the page up for deletion - the page borders on looking ridiculous. Whilst other (unsigned) comments have been made (above) that the page looks "boring (and) like most of the other pages", this would almost seem the point of wikipedia.

I also strongly suspect that the images, supposedly created by Fluffyducky, have not been created by Fluffyducky as claimed in the image license. At the very least the last image on the page (his player profile) would belong to the Collingwood FC and could hardly have been created by Fluffyducky.

That being said, with the (hopeful) successful deletion of the ridiculous amount of images that are on this page, a number of sections also need, in my opinion, to be removed - ie. Marks, CTV Shows, The Footy Show, Personal life, Promoting, Arizona: 2006. The information in these sections could be combined into one smaller section if it is deemed appropriate.

Thoughts? Nicwright 04:38, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia

Wikipedia:Trivia sections sez Avoid creating lists of miscellaneous facts.

Stuff like "cuts his own hair" doesn't matter. "He won a NAB Rising Star nomination in Round 2, 2006" belongs in an awards section.

Also, the '2008' section of history needs to be cleaned up so it just doesn't crap on about anything he happened to do each week. Wongm (talk) 08:48, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
