Heartland Championship

I've just created an article for the Heartland Championship. — Dale Arnett 04:25, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Is the ANZ Cup a fully professional competition? Or is it just the first division that's pro? Do any of the players who play Super 14 also play in the ANZ Cup? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.202.189.78 (talk) 22:39, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Air NZ Cup is fully professional. There is no longer any first division as the Air NZ Cup and Heartland Championships are now separate competitions, however the Heartland Championship replaces the second and third divisions which are now amateur or semi-pro. Gialloneri (talk)

Promotion and relegation

Is there any promotion/relegation system between the two competitions, or is a team in one competition stuck there forever? Scott Gall 06:02, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Promotion and relegation were abolished as part of the NPC switching over to becoming the Air NZ Cup & Heartland Championships, so the answer to your question is no. However there has been talk of some Air NZ Cup teams being forcibly relegated to the Heartland Championship as the Super Rugby teams are unhappy with the current Air NZ Cup structure Gialloneri (talk) 15:00, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Air New Zealand Cup Logo.jpg

I found Image:Air New Zealand Cup Logo.jpg and noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. Someone will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If it was obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If there are other files on this page, consider checking that they have specified their source and are tagged properly, too. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:50, 27 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Fair use rationale for Image:Air New Zealand Cup Logo.jpg

Image:Air New Zealand Cup Logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 04:50, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
