Updated the Player Stats as of 17 June 08 and will endeavour to keep them current for the rest of the season. user:mjelski —Preceding comment was added at 14:37, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Where are all the great Leeds players of the past?

There is a full section about "Ronnie the Rhino" but absolutely nothing about John Atkinson & Co. What sort of encyclopaedic value does this article have? I suggest that someone with some knowledge of RL history takes over the coverage from the juveniles who think the club mascot is "notable". The article is frankly an insult to the history of a great club. BlackJack | talk page 21:21, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of people put a lot of effort into making this page and did so for no payment. If you think you can do better then I suggest you put your money where your mouth is and do something about it.GordyB (talk) 10:01, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is not a question of whether I can do better and it has nothing to do with payment or money. The article is poor because it focuses on the last few years only and it gives priority to trivia like a mascot over the club's history. Therefore, it does not provide encyclopaedic value and a lot of people need to put a lot more effort in. Without payment. BlackJack | talk page 12:54, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In other words: I wish to complain about the service that I received free of charge. The volunteers are not working hard enough and somebody other than myself needs to sort this situation out.
Either get your own finger and and do something or stop whingeing.GordyB (talk) 13:15, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are obsessed with payment and you cannot take criticism. I suggest you read WP:CIVIL. This is a waste of time. BlackJack | talk page 15:03, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not interested in your opinions because they are ridiculous. You are the one who needs to read "civil". You describe the article as an insult to the club despite the fact the player you mentioned is only mentioned in passing on Leeds Rhinos' own version of their history. Presumably they are insulting themselves.
I'm not a Leeds fan so I don't see why I (or anybody else) ought to be obligated to detail the career of a player that retired when I was age 9, especially when I have over 900 articles on my watchlist already.
The article is based on sources available on the Internet. None of them bothered to detail the elements that you deem necessary. You have the knowledge to update the article but you choose not to do so. Your choice.
I am very glad that finally you have realised that complaining on a talk page is a waste of time. These pages are for people who are interested in editing the pages to discuss the content. You are not in that group of people.GordyB (talk) 08:59, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Players Earning International Caps Whilst At Leeds

This seems like an excessively bulky section. Whilst i appreciate that it might have some value, in my opinion it would be better on a separate page, perhaps with a link from the main article. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this? Julianhall (talk) 12:30, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, I think this should be moved. It is not directly relevant to the club more a list. (talk) 13:30, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
