I've just removed a couple of passages of text, one about Power Without Glory which had everything to do with the City of Collingwood but nothing to do with the CFC, and another about Nathan Buckley, which is good but belongs on a page relating to that player.-- The Brain of Morbius 15:12, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
I am attempting to clean up this article. People have donated alot of time, effort and knowledge to the content within this article but it reads as though someone is speaking face to face and this is not the best way to present information clearly in an encyclopedia. I have made minor edits to headings and subsections but a cleanup I did of the 'Rivalries' section was reverted instantly. Why? It should be presented more linearly, listing rivalries and a description of each (as in the Essendon article under the 'major' and 'minor' rivalries sections).
I think either a major cull of information in the History section OR the creation of a dedicated 'History of Collingwood Football Club' article must take place. I'm for the creation of a seperate article as we already have the information here, so I'll go ahead and do it, if anyone has any disputes please discuss them here. I'll continue to clean up a few things but if anyone reverts edits without discussing why they wish to revert them I won't bother helping. C'mon Collingwood supporters! Even the Footscray article is better than this! Nick carson ( talk) 14:29, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
I don't know about the intense rivalry between Collingwood and Carlton as mentioned in the opening paragraph. This article seems to indicate that there is no rivalry anymore .. http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/news/rival-without-a-cause/2007/04/13/1175971352521.html -- Rulesfan 00:12, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Whoever the person is that keeps changing the size of the Collingwood logo, stop it!. Leave it as "150px" because that's the right size for the logo. "250px" is too large, so stop it please.
That article is not the most reliable source to quote from. Any others? Tarkyn 24 22:55, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
Image:Collingwood80s.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

Why does the article go into so much depth for the season 2001? Will it be expanded so that every year of the new millenium is written in such a way? Tarkyn 24 23:03, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
Could you provide the source for the membership data? This is also relevant for all AFL clubs.
Just had a scan of the 2006 section - very unencylopedic. Needs a complete rewrite IMHO. The-Pope 16:54, 16 July 2007 (UTC)..........
horrendously overwritten & far, far too detailed. needs deletion & a complete rewrite.

I can't see what this paragraph..."Collingwood was not the only professional Australian football club nicknamed the Magpies. In 1997, the SANFL's Port Adelaide Football Club entered the AFL. The Port Adelaide Magpies had to change their name to the "Power" and they also abandoned their previous black and white colour scheme. However, the Power continues to sponsor a SANFL team, under the traditional name of the Port Adelaide Magpies." ...is relevant at all. If there's no good argument to keep it, I'm going to remove it.

Ok the pictures of the jumpers were removed due to wikinazibots. Can whoever put them up there put them back up with full and proper explanation as to why it is fair and proper use. FFS it's just a picture (not a photograph) of a jumper. Jabso 13:51, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
I've edited the actual page for the 1990 Grand Final, but I'm not sure whether the actual scoreboard is neccessary in the main club page, for it is only one of 14. I'll paste it in here, incase it is felt it should remain. User:Johnson26
1990 AFL Grand Final | G | B | Total |

I have removed this entire section (see here) as unsourced and not from a neutral point of view. It also seems to me to motivated by religous bigotry, although I would be pleased to be wrong about that. Please provide a reliable source and write in a neutral tone if you wish to include a section such as this. -- Mattinbgn\ talk 10:04, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Excuse my ignorance, but when has Adelaide ever been a major rival of Collingwood? We might be their rivals, but they aren't really ours, as I guess I speak for most of the Magpies supporters on this. As such, the Adelaide Crows section has been removed.

Ok I'm currently working on a major clean up of this article. I'll try to model it on the Manchester United wiki article and other major soccer clubs especially Manchester City (which has been featured on the front page) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_City.
Things needed to work on.
- Basically making it a bit more concise.
- Perhaps making a seperate history article and summarising history?
- fixing up contents system (it's totally unstructured)
If you are going to add a seperate section to this article please try to make sure it fits in with the contents. I.e. don't make a section about notable players and make it a subsection of "The 2000s".

Shouldn't there be in-text references for the bulk of the page - ie pretty much everything from 'Early Years' to '2000s' in which there are some fairly contentious statements??
And what does the contributor mean? "the rare success of never losing more than one match at a time" lol How can anyone lose two matches at a time? Does he mean not losing more than one consecutive match?
I'd change it myself but not being a Magpies fan, I have no idea what he's trying to say..
And - boy - is this a fantastic piece of purple prose or what???
The team, under the guidance of Shaw for the final time, produced some bright sparks in amongst the smouldering ashes of the 1990s, sparks which morphed over time into phoenixes providing hope of a bright future
Vault-emort ( talk) 06:27, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
The article does need a big fix up with the history bit. As a Collingwood supporter 90% of it can be referenced to a book I have and the Collingwood website. There is a lot of stupid statements like that around that do need to be fixed up. When I have free time one day I might do a complete rewrite with proper references.
I assume that "losing two matches a time" losing two in a row where which I think we didn't do in 2007 (or 2006). I'm not sure if it is such a rare thing but it's worth noting when talking about a solid season I suppose.

I've noticed that this article shows Collingwood as finishing 4th in 2007, and the Kangaroos' article has them as 3rd.
According to the below article, these positions should be reversed as Collingwood had a better percentage in the finals series.

They may of played better than the kangaroos, but with both teams losing in the preliminary finals the tie breaker is who finished higher and with kangaroos 4th and collingwood 6th or 7th the Kangaroos would finish 3rd and collingwood 4th. 58.167.205.32 ( talk) 17:29, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
No source has ever been cited from any year during which a Champion of the Colony/Season award is alleged to have been made.
A number of Collingwood players undoubtedly won an individual newspaper's "Player of the Year" award. However, that should be noted as the media award by that paper, not the mythical vote by multiple journalists.
The Argus listed the following for example,
1938 - M Boyall shared the paper's award with N Ware (Footscray), see issue of 4 September 1939, that issue including a list of the winners for the previous three years.

Please change the line in the club theme song from 'See the barrackers are shouting' to either 'Hear the barrackers all shouting' or 'Hear the barrackers a shouting.' I believe the first one quoted hear is the version I have by the "Fable" singers on a 45rpm 7" single from the 1970's. Its unknown studio singers singing all the club theme songs and the record was on the 'Fable' label. The second version I have put hear is straight from the official CFC web site although I'm unconvinced that this version is what I hear from players or supporters in the modern era.

The info box cites Eddie as Chairman, but the article doesn’t.
The article cites him as President (more than once), but not as Chairman.
Is he both? MBG02 ( talk) 17:49, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

The article talks a lot about Collingwood's rivalry with Brisbane. There are several sources, but none actually mention a rivalry. This stuff needs to be sourced, or it needs to go. HiLo48 ( talk) 23:44, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
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) 03:17, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Currently the presidents section is an exact copy of what is written in the article List of Collingwood Football Club presidents. Any proposals as to what we should do? Shorten the section?

While it is plausible that Maggies is in use as a nickname for the club, what sources are out there to corroborate its common usage? — C.Fred ( talk) 11:15, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
Just on that Jack Crisp needing a source? I added a source that linked to his biography FlagPies23 ( talk) 21:15, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
[Copied from my Talk page - HiLo48]
dont revert my edit. Tell me what citation I should add. Maggie is definitely and should be a nickname for the club. His daughter is named magie and that's the coaches daughter. It has relation to the club. New nickname. Can we talk this through? FlagPies23 ( talk) 08:16, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
Twitter is an unacceptable source, Twitter can be an acceptable source, especially when it's from a verified account. However, in this case the tweet cited has nothing to do with "Maggies" as a nickname for the club (was just another source saying that Craig's daughter is named Maggie). -- SuperJew ( talk) 21:08, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
