'''Caleb Ralph''' is a top [[New Zealand]] [[rugby union]] international. He once played as a winger for the national side (the [[All Blacks]]) and still plays for his [[National Provincial Championship|provincial]] team, Canterbury, and [[Super 14]] franchise, the [[Canterbury Crusaders]], although he started his career as a centre. He is an average attacking player and a poor cover defender.

== Archives ==

Ralph was born in [[Rotorua]] on [[September 9]], [[1977]], and was first capped internationally in 1998. After an absence from the national team for several years he was recalled in 2002, and was a regular member of the All Blacks throughout the 2002 and 2003 seasons, playing a total of 13 tests and scoring eight tries, including a hat-trick against Italy in 2002, and was a member of the New Zealand team during the [[2003 Rugby World Cup]].

== Thank you ==

He also regularly represented New Zealand in [[Rugby sevens]] between 1996 and 2000, and was a member of the gold medal-winning New Zealand team at the [[1998 Commonwealth Games]].

Thank you for speaking up on the behalf of a user you did not even know. I appreciate your efforts for justice. Should you have any lingering concerns, I encourage you to come to my talk page and join the dialog there on what has occured. Discussion is the best way to calm stormy waters.

Caleb aka "The Ralph" has an unofficial supporters club called the "Caleb Crew" on the Planet Rugby forum. The "Caleb Crew" has a component called the "Girv Gang" who contributed heavily to this Wikipedia reference.

==Ignore all rules==

He's known in New Zealand rugby circles as the greatest player to ever pull on the Black jersey, under his guidance the All Blacks were absolutely unstoppable. There is a huge movement in New Zealand to "Bring back the RALPH" as Ralph is currently out of the national team due to a sanction placed on him by the IRB after he made homophobic comments about fellow All Black, Nathan Mauger, who was Canterbury's finest export at that point. Ralph was deemed to talented to play for NZ, and so continues to ply his trade with the vastly superior Canterbury Crusaders.

First, obviously, if rule 5 were deleted, it would become four pillars rather than five. I think that any change to the four/five pillars should be well discussed on its talk page first. Failure to do so would be to ignore all rules, which could be seen as [[WP:POINT]].

I personally think that the five pillars document is fine, because it says that there are no rules other than those listed, and the writers' rules of engagement are one of the pillars. The real problem is that Ignore All Rules is the wrong summary of the guideline, and is sufficiently wrong as to be a destructive title, because it can easily be read as meaning that one can ignore civility.

==Final decision==

The arbitration committee has reached a final decision in the [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Louis Epstein]] case [[User:Raul654|&rarr;Raul654]] 02:12, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

== [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view]] ==

Regarding the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view&curid=39805&diff=28415528&oldid=28413773 revert; the claim that all five pillars are unchangeable has no foundation in policy], why is it there then? Is the [[Wikipedia:Five pillars]], wrong? -- [[User:Zondor|Zondor]] 17:42, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

== Updated poll ==

I have completely changed the poll. Please see [[Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (years in titles)/Poll]] --[[User:AllyUnion|AllyUnion]] [[User talk:AllyUnion|(talk)]] 02:39, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

May I ask why you moved [["—All You Zombies—"]] to [[“—All You Zombies—”]]? &mdash; [[User:Flamingspinach|flamingspinach]] | [[User_talk:Flamingspinach|(talk)]] 06:13, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

== class="wikitable" ==

I wouldn't know how, but why would you want to anyway? [[User:Bluemoose|Martin]] 14:32, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

:Aha, so you mean find occurances where it was expanded when it used [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Prettytable&oldid=23029079 this] revision of the prettytable. In which case the only way I think you could find them would be to get someone to use an SQL query on the database dump, but I don't know how successful that would be. At the moment I am not capable of doing this, but plently of other people are. [[User:Bluemoose|Martin]] 16:10, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
