Nanobite I'm worried about the copyright status of the logo. Are you sure we can use it ? Steven jones 01:54, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)
You could be right - where can I find the exact copyright information showing what we can and can't use. I don't think that there would be a problem if we continued to use it, but it would be good to check out.
Easts. Eeeeeasts. They're still Easts in my book :P --Paul 08:29, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I used to do official logo's. It's usually copyrighted the team, but you should credit the artist too.
It's not too bad, but a few recent additions in the history section seem to be a little bias to me. Does anyone else think the same? mdmanser 12:38, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
please read article below.
I take it the NPOV warning was placed due to the information about the roosters juniors article.
It is actaully a known fact that the roosters junior boundaries were realigned in the 50's so that south sydney could increase the number of junior teams.
This is not based on here say and inuendo, this is fact that happened that even the New south wales rugby league has even alknowlaged.
Some big changes boys and girls.
Show off our history and tradition that only others can dream of.
Also with the updates I edited some parts of the Roosters juniors history. While it is fact that Souths did steal our turf; the article seems to be focusing on it too much and loses its credibility. Sbryce858 05:15, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
Also, we have won the Foundation Cup and SG Ball Cup of 2010. They need to be updated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AnyUntakenNames? (talk • contribs) 10:00, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
I like what the article looks like at the moment, however, I believe it can be improved through the following ways to make it reach the featured article status:
(1) Improve the prose of the article, especially by adding a little more sophistication to the wording of the history section.
(2) Trim down the history section - like a number of other articles it may be wiser to just quote the most important events in the history of the club and improve the quality of these facts, rather than including a larger, less detailed amount of text. A separate page could be used for history.
(3) Find some historical photos (check [http://www.pictureaustralia.org/index.html Picture Australia) about Roosters players, games and events and include them in the main body of the article - perhaps this would then warrant a removal of the logos scattered throughout the page and combine them into a new section.
(4) Talk about the changing ownership and management of the club - even I'm not too sure about this one, but maybe if I do a little bit of research myself I might learn something.
(5) Add as many references as possible, using the current style of citing sources - there can't be too many citations, and sources renowned for critical review may warrant WP:NPOV to be broken if primary sources are used. If just a few people do their bit this could really turn out to be a great article. It is a little hard to find information about historical events because they're just as readily available as they may be on other subjects, but if featured status is what we're aiming to achieve, then it's got to be done.
Cheers all, --mdmanser 10:08, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
1. I like what you have done though with creating the other pages, it has definately tidied it up a bit as it was starting to get out of hand with its length.
2. In regards to pictures, there is a few that you may wish to upload from the new Roosters site; http://www.sydneyroosters.com.au/100years/
I'll put the centenary logo on soon.
3. With the amount of Roosters articles that are about I suggest we make a Roosters Project to link them altogether. Also for other articles we may want to put in a 'See Also' category linking the other pages together because apart from this page the other pages don't have a link to follow through to other Roosters articles.
We're not too far off featured article status, I think someone with a lot of experience with 'wikifying' articles was able to go over it it could get there. Its not so much the content that is the problem, I think its the presentation of it all.

There are inconsistencies with regards to the jersey information. The article quotes Sean Fagan as suggesting the jersey worn in the first premiership season as comprising of predominately red hoops. The Roosters adopted this design as their centenary jersey for the 2007 and 2008 seasons for this reason. However the images suggest that they did not wear this jersey until 1914. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.228.166.110 (talk) 22:38, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
The history section has its own article and I have done a quick summary of our history. I think its a bit below par with its standard, but its a great starting block to work on. Feel free to touch it up a bit to make it look a bit better.
Also, what do you think about re-doing our 'current squad' section. It looks too congested to me and I think we should cut it down to our 25 top grade players for a few reasons:
1. It looks a lot neater and is easier on the eye.
2. It caters for our first grade squad which is ideally what this article is all about. Too many reserve players just makes it look fluttered and takes away from the purpose of the article.
What are your thoughts?
p.s I'm also going to try and add a 2007 transfer section.
What else can we do to improve the page?Sbryce858 08:43, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
This nomination is on hold for 7 days: The image "Dally Messenger in action.jpg" has a deprecated tag, please update it. Also, most refs are in boxes or tables, see if you can find more for the body of the article. Dates are inconsitent format, should be August 08, 2006; and unlink any dates that aren't full. Rlevse 14:35, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
I believe recently reverted lines have to much pPOV on them. "Nevertheless, despite poor performances, the club still managed ninth highest home average"... 9th/15 is not a good performances and suggesting as such is infactual and gives the impression the club was well supported in 2006, which unfortunately, was not the case. Having such wording won't help or encourage anybody more to attend their games so why "they still managed to have the ninth highest..." is there is beyond me. --Timmah86 07:06, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Mdmanser call me old fashioned but I'm not too keen on the idea of a Waratahs match picture being show on a page promoting the Roosters. It is a good pictures of the SFS, however are there any we can find to replace that might be rugby league related. 124.186.243.153 12:17, 1 November 2006 (UTC) (sbryce)
The whole Roosters network is at a pretty good stage now. The question is, what features should be added next. Over the next few months I'll be devoting some time to the individual season articles for our club and also player profiles. Its important to make them all uniform so its more presentable. Tricolours went on a bit of a rampage with the season articles but has also managed to put in some good info, I'll be working on merging previous versions with the current especially to make it more presentable cause its a bit of a mess ATM. What features/improvements can we add?Sbryce858 13:23, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
The image found in the section Crest appears to be faulty... Bandwagonman 11:43, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Is it necessary to have a 'controversy' section on this page? It's not as if the club was involved in these controversies (such as with the Bulldogs 'scandal') just single players and the Minichiello one wasn't even when he was with the Roosters; I really think it should be removed.--Tiburon 04:58, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
At the base of the stadium section it says that the roosters are moving to bluetongue in 09. It is uncited and i have not heard anything about it before. Perhaps the editor meant to say they are moving one or two home games to Bluetongue? ronan.evans 04:09, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Can we semi-protect this page? The wolfs are out and howling loud. Mister Fax 19:28, 30 May 2007 (UTC)p
While I acknowledge the 100 Years Logo should be in the main part it strikes me as a bit odd the teams 'normal' logo isn't ANYWHERE on the page. Any particular reason??! ronan.evans 14:07, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
The Roosters have moved into the old Waratahs building at the members carpark of the Sydney Football Stadium, Moore Park.
They still have very strong connections with EASTS at Bondi Junction (the parent leagues club where the football club was formally based), but it is no longer true to say they are "Bondi Junction based". 58.173.49.252 (talk) 10:17, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
bias in rivalries section
the author of the southsdney rivalries section is clearly biased toward south sydney and that section should be rewritten in a more balanced manner —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.183.82.13 (talk) 11:56, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
I struggle with the the use of this shot in this featured article for a couple of reasons: firstly the players are representing NSW not Easts; secondly it's not made clear that the photo is more featuring winger Dan Frawley in foreground with the ball and Dally M is in the background. Sure they were both Roosters but at the very least the caption should be changed.-Sticks66 12:01, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
The article is seriously in danger of losing its FA status due to insertions of unencyclopedic content lacking citations since it was promoted. If something you've recently inserted or something you worked long and hard on disappears in the next days please talk to us at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Rugby league -Sticks66
Grand final appears to be Grand Final throughout but there are some differences with first-grade. Is it to be First Grade or first grade? Or first-grade? Premiership, minor premiers, semi finals all seem to be consistently lower case (except for one which I changed). florrie 12:14, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
the biggest scoring margin in a grand final (8 tries, 7 goals) . This clumsy phrase presumably refers to the 75 GF? It was never the highest score, and the record margin was beaten over a year ago. But the page is blocked from editing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.113.234.63 (talk) 03:19, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
Bryce and MD, can you make an edit to the supporters section of the wiki.
The peoples wall is now closed and Moved to www.thechookpen.com.au
The Chookpen is the new Unofficial supporters website (note it is not just a forum but a website as well)
This is an alternative site to the Roosters main website, the chookpen offers a free fans forum as opposed to the Roosters website which has a members only forum.
Thanks guys —Preceding unsigned comment added by Supermario (talk • contribs) 11:34, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
The current players list has completely wrong cap numbers. Carney is not 989 as he just started this season, and he can't be the same number as the other new player, Phil Graham. I tried to get the information from the Rooster's official site but they don't put the cap number on the player profiles. I will edit out the cap numbers to TBA where unknown.
Also there's a link there to "Sydney Roosters 2009" which needs fixing to 2010.

User:YellowMonkey has started edit warring over the notable supporters included in this section without explaining himself. As per concerns raised in previous discussion, I have changed the bullet-point list of notable supporters into prose. I see no reason for it to be removed, does anyone else?--Jeff79 (talk) 10:05, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
It looks like no one has read the previous discussion. Arguments are being made here for politicians not to be listed and if that's to be, it's fine. But why should no one of note be listed at all? If it's good enough for reliable third-party publications, why is it not good enough for Wikipedia? I don't see how anyone can argue that such content doesn't enrich a section entitled 'supporters', where it's perfectly reasonable to find information that has been published about who supports a team. It's clear that this information's inclusion offends some people, but I don't understand how the article is somehow worse or less informative with it. I'll bet the average reader cares more to see that a notable person supports the team than that the team's supporters group usually occupy a certain stand in the stadium.--Jeff79 (talk) 15:13, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
I don't see any consensus per Jeff's bogus claims. Daniel has also expressed his opinion to remove per his edit as such YellowMonkey (new photo poll) 04:58, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
It appears at least three of the users listed under "remove" are in favour of retaining some names of notable supporters in the "Supporters" section. Yellowmonkey clearly wants to expunge any mention of notable rugby league supporters from existence on all of wikipedia for some reason, but I don't think that is what this vote has established consensus for. So as long as the mention of the supporters is embedded within the paragraph of text and doesn't include local politicians or overseas celebrities promoting their visit, then it's fine?--Jeff79 (talk) 16:17, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
