Attendances?

What does the table of Attendances represent? It seems like a mix of all attendances, with the inclusion of the 22,000 against Port Adelaide. Needs to be changed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.181.29.189 (talk) 05:50, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

These charming comments above are brought to you by the one and only BrianBeahr, an indefinitely blocked editor. His edit and comment style are instantly recognisable. We will not be bullied by you Brian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.180.244.218 (talk) 14:11, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Official football club name

According to the company names registry, "St Kilda Saints Football Club Ltd" is the new legal name of the social club only - and NOT the football club itself which appears to be still registered under the name of "St Kilda Football Club Ltd". If anyone has any evidence to the contrary then please provide it. Otherwise please don't change the official name of the club in the article. Afterwriting (talk) 17:03, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

FYI - Sockpuppet editing

It it becoming increasingly apparent that this article - and other St Kilda F.C. articles - is once again being subjected to sockpuppet editing by an indefinitely blocked user. I am currently monitoring the suspected sockpuppet's edits. Afterwriting (talk) 16:08, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you believe you see new sockpuppets of
diffs to show the resemblance. EdJohnston (talk) 18:27, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply

It is almost certainly him again but at present he is flying just under the radar and not making it blatantly obvious. At present I don't know how to do the "diffs" thing properly. Afterwriting (talk) 11:09, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Further sockpuppeting by BrianBeahr

It has become increasingly obvious that the "new" editor User:BawBaw1 is yet another in the long list of sockpuppet accounts of the indefinitely blocked user User:BrianBeahr. I have, therefore, reverted his most recent edits. Brian, I do not wish for you to be indefinitely blocked, but you have been for numerous valid reasons. If you want to edit on Wikipedia you will need to do so by following the correct process for getting yourself unblocked. Seeking to avoid the block by continuing to create sockpuppet accounts will not achieve anything. You really need to understand this and do something about it.

Anx10else think that the artice need soures and is pro st kilda? Stilltha1 (talk) 11:03, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

tha latest scandal should be added! it show it ture side. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stilltha1 (talk • contribs) 01:32, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Stilltha1, your spelling and grammar could use some improvement, but yes, I agree, the latest scandal is notable (receiving major media coverage) and should be covered in the article. I'm too lazy, though - someone will do it, hopefully. 203.45.95.236 (talk) 13:25, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Needs an Attendances/Membership section

Nearly all pages for other AFL clubs have this, so St Kilda needs it as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sverik25 (talk • contribs) 07:00, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Mick Malthouse picture

I'm bringing this here because it's one of the clubs Mick has been associated with. I'm just seeking a few more views on a discussion underway about an image an editor has proposed for the article. See the article history and the Tak page. HiLo48 (talk) 03:14, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As Malthouse did not have any premiership success at St Kilda as a player then I can't see any reason why there should be a photo of him in the article. His association with St Kilda is not prominent in the public mind. His prominence in AFL is nearly all about his coaching career rather than his playing career. So I would not support including a photo of him in the St Kilda article. There are many other more appropriate people than him. Yahboo (talk) 07:56, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to have confused you. The proposal at hand is for a photo to be added to the Mick Malthouse article, not this one. HiLo48 (talk) 09:31, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewer: The C of E (talk · contribs) 17:34, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]


I will review this within the next few days. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 17:34, 14 January 2022 (UTC) Here is my review[reply]

  • Are they at any point ever referred to as "Saint Kilda"?
No, St Kilda has never been referred to this way. As stated, they're named after the suburb specifically, not a Saint. (It is however, a common misconception.)
  • Is there a way of distinguishing the 2 VFLs in the lead as per
    WP:PTM
    ?
What I've done is state the transition for both, which should hopefully clear it up?
There is! It's even used later in the article, thanks for the pick-up!
  • Was there a time when St Kilda split from University?
Yes, but it's not known. University later joined the VFL separately, so we know the two split, but we don't have a date - hence the usage of briefly to indicate it was not permanent.
  • The association with Germany's colours should be clarified (was it because their colours were the same as the German flag at the time?)
    • Also, when did they return to their original colours and why?
Yes, it was. I've added some clarification for you. They returned to the colours in 1922 - the reasoning isn't ever stated however. I can guess it's because the war was over, but without a source no why should be given, obviously. What I've done is rather than list the date, as it would disrupt the section flow, I've used "temporarily" to indicate it wasn't permanent. The information is also available under the uniform evolution section.
  • In the 2nd paragraph in 1974, consistency is needed with the dollars as per
    WP:$
Done!
  • Why was the VFL renamed the AFL?
Is this particularly relevant to the article? By all accounts if it was I'd add it - but at least in my opinion, it's merely needed to inform the viewer that of the point when the competition's name changed. The explanation as to why can be left to the competition's page, which is hyperlinked.
  • "Grand Final hangover"
    WP:TONE
Done!
  • Guernsey needs to be linked at first mention
Done!
  • the "Uniforms" subsection paragraphs are unsourced
I've been tossing this up. I understand where you're coming from, but this doesn't seem like this falls under the requirements of something that "has" to be sourced. It's also surprisingly hard to find a source which describes it in words.
  • First line of Logos is unsourced
Going to ask for clarification here before I edit too much - do you mean the first line in the section, or the first line of the subsequent paragraph?
First line of the section @Empole1: The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 15:35, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, addressed. What I've done is make it a more broad neutral statement that serves as an overview rather than a specific one that needs a reference. It's still unreferenced, but the wording change should be fine. @The C of E: Empole1 (talk) 07:24, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • "When The Saints Go Marching In" and "I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside" should be wikilinked. Also the "Club song" section could easily be merged into 1 paragraph
Done!
  • Soccer or rugby shouldn't be capitalised
Done!
  • In reserves, does St Kilda still keep its affiliation with Sandringham? Article says 2019 so ideally this should be updated to clarify if its still current.
Updated as suggested! Glad you picked this up, the reference didn't have the information regardless.
  • Apparrel sponsors need full sourcing
No can do, I'm afraid. Whilst I know what they are, any publications making note of this have been lost to the sands of time. As a result, I've done my best to list out the sponsors I can get resources for.
  • Why has St Kilda got a strong following with Jewish supporters?
No idea. Doesn't seem to have been looked into by an outside source, just something that is the case.
  • Is there a source for the Hall of Fame?
Yes, it's actually in the paragraph. I can add it to the template if you'd like?
  • Reference 1, Title needs correcting
There doesn't seem to be an error here? If you could elaborate, that'd be great.
  • Reference 45, AFL same as other sources using AFL needs to be consistent across the article.
Fixed! They're all lower case 'afl' in the website links now.
  • References 68 and 69, ABC consistency needed
Done! One was a cite web rather than a cite news template.
  • Reference 117, needs an accessdate
Added! Twas an easy find!
  • In the vast majority of references, italics should only be used for printed sources (newspapers etc.)
I don't think that's the case? Most of these would've been done using the autocomplete function Wikipedia has for references, so by all means this should be ok. If you look at the source, the Italics are applied automatically to the "website url" parameter.
There we go @The C of E:! I've done most thing that you've asked, but I've also left comments on each of your notes, so you can address each note individually if needbe. Thanks for undertaking the review. by the way. Much appreciated! Empole1 (talk) 10:43, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
OK @Empole1:, I think that's good to go for GA. Congratulations! The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 20:27, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Panthers

Didn't the club have a dalliance with the nickname "Panthers" for a few years? 2001:44B8:201:6C00:2CF9:F9EE:487A:3D67 (talk) 07:53, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Women's team in separate article?

Not sure why this is as it is the same club, just a different team. The other article seems to insinuate that it is a separate club "franchise". Rulesfan (talk) 01:00, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
