Talk:Netball in South Africa

Information to be integrated in citation wise

The following is a quote from page 125:

"In South Afria sport has been organised so as to maintain and strengthen the pattern of racial stratification. In Consequence there has been increasing pressure furing the second half of this century to exclude South Africa from international sporting competition until such a time as its policy and practive should conform to the generally accepted code that no one should be excluded from sporting competition on the grounds of race and that everyone should have the opportunity to develop his full potential regardless of race." End quote.

Next quote also on page 125: "New Zealand has played a major role in the conflict over sports apartheid. New Zealand sports bodies have maintained their ties with their exclusively white South African counterparts and have become the target of sanctions by African countries."

Most of this cahpter focuses on Rugby but there are general sport references that apply to netball.

Now its netball Friday. Putting this here so that when I have a non-netbook to edit on, I can find it again and source it in the article. --LauraHale (talk) 19:20, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Netball in South Africa

Moved from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject South Africa § Netball in South Africa

I'd really love some assistance improving Netball in South Africa with the idea of getting it to good article status. The article is properly cited for what is there. Beyond that, it appears to have some major organisational issues, probably has some information that could be best done by summarising tables and some additional information that just needs to be removed. It could also probably use some additional information and a good copy edit for what is there. It's a decent article, but it could really use some love to get it up to standards to be nominated for GA. --LauraHale (talk) 08:25, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

From what I can see, the article has great potential! I'll run through it, check for minor mistakes and missing info. --Another Type of Zombie ^talk 09:02, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I see a lot of sentences that are copied from the opening paragraph in the article. I've made an effort to reword some of the sentences, and I ask anybody who sees the problem in paragraphs to please to fix it, or report it here. Thanks! --Another Type of Zombie ^talk 09:17, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. :) The fixes look really good. The help is very much appreciated. :D --LauraHale (talk) 09:18, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Also, do you agree with me in the possibility of removing, or improving, the images in the table? They seem a little fuzzy, likely due to their intended sizes. Another Type of Zombie ^talk 16:29, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Mainly, the images in the National competitions table. They're pretty redundant, don't you think? However, the International performance one looks of good quality. --Another Type of Zombie ^talk 16:32, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Feel free to remove the national competitions table. When I first started working on the article, I basically through in everything and the kitchen sink. The table was in another article and unsourced. I just sourced it and tossed it in. :) The international performance one can use work but I haven't spent much time trying to add matches to it. :) --LauraHale (talk) 17:58, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Okay then! Mmm, for now, I'm still a little unsure about the tables, so I think I'm gonna re-check the article again, improve what I can, then we can come back to the tables. Cool? Thanks! Another Type of Zombie ^talk 08:51, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Removed the big table for the interprovisional bit. If it goes to GA (which is kind of a goal), then it could be put in if some one references it. Also made sure the footnotes were cited. Any additional help is yay. :) The wording edits you've made have been really good. --LauraHale (talk) 09:22, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks a lot :D . For now, I'm still gonna work on the wording, maybe even throw a few useful links in there and check what I can do about the occasional red link. Also, if it isn't too much to ask, please see if you can find an image or two. Thanks! --Another Type of Zombie ^talk 10:57, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Terminology

Apartheid was 1948-1994. So, there were "pre-Apartheid", "Apartheid", and "post Apartheid" periods. Yet, there's no pre-Apartheid section. However, uder the "Apartheid" section, the first sentence starts with "In the pre-Apartheid period". The Apartheid section covers years before and after 1948. I suspect there's some mistaken terminology, which conflates "pre-Apartheid" and "Apartheid". But, I can't access sources, and therefore have trouble doing anything. --Rob (talk) 07:37, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
