		For your work on rugby articles, particularly the Kenyan stuff. --MacRusgail (talk) 11:24, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Keep it up, it's much needed. I've given PDTyrrell one for work in the same area, whrre it's much needed.--MacRusgail (talk) 11:24, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Good work, especially on Enterprise Cup, I need to get a copy of the book The Enterprise Cup 1930 - 2005 (seventy five years of sporting achievement)! Pdtyrrell (talk) 11:46, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks to both of you, it's nice to be recognised... I have looked about a bit and it seems appropriate that I thank you here rather than on your talk page, though I think I'll post something on your page anyway. As I said to Pdtyrrell, I'm just doing what I can here and there, I doubt that I will achieve your level of contribution. Mbwa mwitu (talk) 06:50, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

"Am I meant to do anything with it by the way, or just leave it where it is and be happy? :-) " - Well you can put it on your user page. :)

I have tried to expand rugby coverage beyond the Six Nations and SANZAR, but it's often difficult to find sources, or decent ones. Even getting information on Uruguay, China, Germany and India which despite the "emerging" tag often given to them have a very long history of rugby. Ditto Kenya, which has been coming to notice recently for its excellent sevens team - so the information was very much needed.--MacRusgail (talk) 12:18, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Flag problems

For some reason I seem to have missed this debate. I've pretty much been on holiday the last while (other than some minor edits) I'm a bit horrified by what has happened.

I think that some people seem too keen to delete images, because they're "unlicensed", when in fact they could be more helpful by giving the correct tags i.e. "fair use", etc.--MacRusgail (talk) 11:09, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

My comments here.--MacRusgail (talk) 11:13, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

I believe that there should be some "middle way" (to pinch a phrase from Buddhism) on this matter. I think at least some of the instances in point are covered by "fair use". I'll keep you posted.--MacRusgail (talk) 15:23, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
