I tried to change the first external link to Karmichael Hunt, but it didn't work for some reason. The present link goes to an outdated or moved page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.224.55.109 (talk) 05:13, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
The Career Section is biased to his 2006 season. I know 2006 was his season where he did everything (StateofOrigin, Australia Test, Grand Final Win) but 2004 was his debut and is the right size, 2005 needs to be expanded and 2006 needs to be shortened with summarys. For example instead of everything that happened in 06 grand final, just say they won. (I will do this in a couple of days anyway). SpecialWindler 05:54, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
he is first cousins with team member justin hodges.the 2 of them would play footy in the backyard when they were young but never thought they would become team mates.they say they are grateful to be in that situation where they do evrything together. parents claim they are like brothers...
Whoever keeps adding this please cite it, then add it, and place a reference. Also it is in the 2004 section. Justin Hodges didn't even play then

Hi SpecialWindler - thank you for your message. GA nominations are currently (normally) taking some time to be processed (around a month) because of the lack of experienced GA reviewers. So normally I would not be able to assess Karmichael Hunt for some time. However I had a quick look at it after your request and noted that it met one of the quick fail categories - based on having a clean-up tag. This means it must automatically fail (providing the tag is legitimate). I noted the tag has been up there for some edits and in fact that the article does need a careful proof-read (because it is definitely not ready for GA classification at this stage). Can I suggest that you spell and grammar check the whole article as your first step to improving the article as that will at least remove the clean-up tag. If I can help further please let me know.--VS talk 22:40, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
Overall, this is a good article and well referenced, but I'll put this on hold until the following points have been addressed:
Other then those points it's still a well made article. Good job, just remember to contact me when you feel you've address my points - You've got a week before I'll come back anyway. Cheers. --Phill talk Edits 09:35, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
A further suggestion maybe to look on Flickr for a free image (Search -> Advanced Search -> Creative Commons (tick)), Altered? (Tick) Used Commercially? (Tick). If you can't find one then try and broadening your search, for example when I'm looking for a Formula One image I usually go with specifics and then broaden it: "Nico Rosberg", no? "WilliamsF1" no? "Formula One 2006". Note that I went from Player to Team he plays for and finially to the season specifically rather then searching through thousands upon thousands of Formula One photos. Anyway, hope this helps. --Phill talk Edits 15:08, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Is this article rated mid importance because Hunt is a current Kangaroos player? If so, all other current Kangaroos' articles should be similarly rated.--Jeff79 23:13, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
If anyone has a picture on Karmichael Hunt, and it is free, could they please upload, it would be much appreciated. SpecialWindler 05:20, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
I feel that this section is going no-where, I've have searched the web and cannot find too much about his personal life. All I have found is that is what is on there, so I propose
Any thoughts. SpecialWindler 10:34, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Karmichael Hunt was involved in an incident in Brisbane. It may not be an important aspect of his football career, but his presence at the incident was the catalyst that resulted in a court fight by media proprietors over how Australia's freedom of information laws are used. That's why it's better in its own Controversy section, rather than the 2006 career section. Regarding references, the SMH references was commentary, but it is still the Sydney Morning Herald, not just some schoolkid's blog. We had the weird situation where someone deleted the reference (saying it was just a blog), then someone else added a Citation Needed tag. The reference shouldn't be deleted. If there are not enough references, please don't delete them... instead, request more references. The SMH reference was also accompanied by a News Limited news story reference. I wrote the section in an unbiased way, without apportioning blame to Hunt, unlike the original Channel 7 stories that said as fact that Hunt assaulted someone in the incident. There's going to be more about this incident in the news, as the court cases play out in the coming months. 203.217.64.50 11:27, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Obviously this is a contentious section of the article and I can see from the history that a bit of effort has been made to get it right, but could I suggest some alterations to the current paragraph?
"During his injury, early in the morning on 30 July, 2006, Hunt was at the scene of a fight outside a Brisbane night club in Brisbane's CBD. The media, notably Channel 7 and Channel 10, blew the incident out of proportion, one claiming Hunt was the instegator of the incident, the other claiming Hunt squirted water on a woman. The Broncos' club denied Hunt had any involvement in the fight, though a woman gave his name to police. The council owns the CCTV footage of the incident, but when the media tried to get the tape, they were denied, leading to speculation that Hunt had something to do with the fight. However, Hunt denied having anything to do with the incident and that he was a by-stander."
I don't think you can claim the media 'blew the incident out of all proportion' without all the facts. What about, "Sections of the media claimed Hunt was the instigator of the incident and had squirted water on a woman. Although a woman gave Hunt's name to police, the Bronco's management, and Hunt himself, denied he had any involvement in the fight." And leave it at that. That sounds fair and unbiased to me. Leave all the other stuff until after the court hearing (or whatever is happening).
I know these following wouldn't be a free image, but do they qualify for wikipedia's non-free images. (Ps. I am not to knowlagebale of images on wikipedia so...)
2003 Australian Schoolboys Team Photo
2001 Under 15's Merit Side
2003 Australian Schoolboys Team Photo 2
All three photo's have Karmichael Hunt in them, they may qualify for wikipedia under fair use, because these would be the only photos of the time, especially the Under 15's one.
Any comments SpecialWindler 06:38, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
A free image has been added, thanks to Florrie, good work. SpecialWindler talk 03:47, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Really pleased to see you replaced 'blazing', 'poor showing' and 'superstar' with more conservative descriptors! Florrie 05:54, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
There was a suggestion in the peer review that the section titles "2004", "2005", "2006", "2007 and beyond" be replaced with something else. Although I don't think this is a top priority for this, I was suggesting these titles "Debut season", (don't know for 2005), "Rise to the top/Career kicks off", (unknown for 2007 and beyond).
Don't know what other people think? SpecialWindler talk 22:28, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
I removed this statement
Hunt still lives with his parents in Algester.<ref name="skythelimit"/>
because I felt that it didn't fit in the article, just to short. If someone can find a place to fit it, go ahead. SpecialWindler talk 02:31, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

SpecialWindler talk 09:52, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Not sure why you went through and wikilinked every single year date mentioned. It is excessive and distracting. Refer to WP:MoS(links) for guidance. Florrie 23:09, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Speculation in the media led to rumours that Hunt wanted to change his mind about his alligence to the Australian team, but Hunt put those fears to rest when he later signed for a three year extension
(2006 section, paragraph one)
I like the sentence, but the bolded bits aren't accurately correct, I don't know how to reword it. SpecialWindler talk 05:50, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
I am proposing a change to this article, which I would like either support/oppose comments on the move. The change is between the current version, and the proposal on my sandbox here. Any comments, please give me your opinions. SpecialWindler talk 09:25, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
I really like the look of the proposed format! I also like the quote boxes. The other format that someone had changed them to last week looked too wishy-washy and they seemed to dissolve into the main body of text. Have you had a play with alternating them left align, right align, just to vary it a bit? Florrie 10:45, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
There dosen't seem to be any major opposition, so I moved it SpecialWindler talk 06:59, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
In 2005, Justin Hodges returned to the Broncos and became good friends with Hunt.[1]

are they necessary? this is not consistent with other player articles. Michellecrisp 00:59, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
I would only remove content if it is not totally relevant or notable as an encyclopaedia. It just seems that almost every single fact (and I'm not saying all) is listed here. the view that Hunt should be future captain was only expressed as an opinion rather than fact by very few people, and this is more speculative. I know you may argue this is citated information but at times this article sounds like glowing fan talk rather than an objective view of a player early in his career. Michellecrisp 11:19, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
I've noticed Brisbane Broncos News is used a fair bit as a reference. It is not a totally NPOV source of citation. Look at this glowing article: [1] Third party sources are more reliable. Michellecrisp 11:28, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
in statistics, is implying Hunt is a major factor in all those wins (may or may not be true). it's misleading to use such a percentage (same in most team sports). If you consider how many of those games Lockyer was playing and they won it might give a better idea. or with Thurston at Qld and Aust level. Winning percentages should not be there in my opinion. it's a Misuse of statistics. I can give a similar example say Damien Martyn's win percentage with the Australian cricket team...it would be high but he was not in best form in recent years. Michellecrisp 03:01, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
I personally don't think junior representative teams should be in the infobox. This is not consistent with other player articles. Almost every State of Origin or international rep has played junior rep football. Michellecrisp 00:55, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
After State of Origin III, Hunt was ruled out of the Broncos game due to a thigh injury but returned the next week. is this really notable? we don't list every game a player misses through injury. only if they miss a significant part of the season. Michellecrisp 11:51, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Away from NRL rugby league he has stated he is a big fan of soccer. Would that be worth a mention in an away from rugby league section. Londo06 09:58, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
Just some notes for me when the 2008 season finally starts. SpecialWindler talk 22:15, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Got there eventually but now the years on the new infobox are now fixed. CorleoneSerpicoMontana (talk) 14:54, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Can people please stop vandalizing this article by adding in Mike Hunt as a short way of saying his name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.190.55.94 (talk) 02:54, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
I hear his nickname is Yorick, not Mike. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.148.174.165 (talk) 18:39, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

This is an older FA about a living person (also, still active in his current professional occupation) that has become neglected over the years. The article needs an update to meet FA standards, specifically:
On 16 January 2015, Hunt, along with teammate Rob Simmons, were appointed vice-captains of the Queensland Reds.[156][157][158][159][160]. Same with
On 21 January, it was announced that Hunt had signed a one-year contract with the New South Wales Waratahs.[166][167][168][169][170].
