Hi there, You seem to be starting a number of articles about NZ supreme Court cases, but without including any references for them. Please read WP:Notable, WP:RS and WP:CITE. In a nutshell, linking to the Court's own public documentation of the case is useful but not sufficient to establish notability. It is best if you can reference third-party discussion about the cases (e.g. legal journals). As you obviously have reference material available, it is much easier for you to provide references than for other editors to have to go and search things out. As they stand, the articles are vulnerable to being nominated for deletion. Cheers, dramatic ( talk) 23:27, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Hey, just corrected it to remove the eliminated designation from Otago. If they beat Wellington with a bonus point, they will finish at 22. If Northland also beats Auckland and neither scores a bonus point, then all 3 will be at 22. Tasman, should they win with fewer than 4 tries, could make it four teams tied for the last spot. So Otago retains faint hope, needing a 5 point win over Wellington, Northland to beat Auckland in a bonus-less game and Tasman to get fewer than 5 points. At least two of those requirements are realistic. Alanmjohnson ( talk) 08:31, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
Well it's all over now. Speaking of tie-breakers...while I still believe that head-to-head should take priority, I'd like bonus points (or lack thereof) to play a role in cases where teams haven't met (like Otago, Auckland, Northland). Leaving aside that Northland beat Auckland (let's pretend for a moment that they didn't play each other) it seems very wrong that a 4-6 team should be ranked higher than a 5-5 team just because they met other fairly arbitrary criteria such as number of tries scored or not losing by a given number of points. It sort of devalues actually winning a match, which is a real shame.
I've never heard Wanganui called the "Ringies" before, nor Mid Cant the Mighties or West Coast the Smuties. What do those names mean? Alanmjohnson ( talk) 00:16, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
