Thanks for your contributions to Banter. However, that is not the kind of article Wikipedia is looking for. However, you may enjoy browsing around Wiktionary if you enjoy writing definions as you did at Banter. Thank you, zappa.jake (talk) 23:01, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Banter

Thank you for your article, banter. It would be better moved to Wiktionary.--File Éireann 23:09, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Harry Forrester

Hi Zac, thanks for your contributins to Wikipedia. I'm afraid I've had to tag Harry Forrester for deletion. At present he does not meet the policy on Wikipedia:Notability (people) that athletes must have competed in a "fully professional league". Hopefully his article will be able to be re-created in the future, and hope this doesn't put you off editing. All the best, HornetMike 11:51, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Rugby

Please leave Rugby redirected to Rugby football not Rugby (disambiguation). The change was made because:

1. Views expressed on talk pages of rugby articles suggest that this is best
2. The fact is that rugby football (a joint article on league and union) is the most prevalent meaning of the word 'rugby' worldwide, far outweighing other uses combined
3. This set-up is used by many other articles where one usage dominates the rest
4. links in other Wikipedia articles written as [[Rugby]] refer to the sport not the town or other uses.

A link at the top of Rugby Football to the Rugby disambiguation page redirects anyone who wants other usages so there is no problem there. Rgds Rexparry sydney 00:12, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
