Brendan Joseland
Wikipedia is not the place to submit full recounts of every moment of a person's life/career/etc. Look at this. This is way too much info. Compare the article to Shane Watson, a Test player, and realise you were writing way to much. Try to make the Joseland article like the Nick Jewell entry; a short and concise bio.

 * Re this, see the Talk:Brendan Joseland page. Just because Watson has a stub article doesn't mean Joseland neccessarily should. However, I think you should perhaps cut down the useless info such as the "Did you know" section of that article. It should have many of the details about his career but cut out the lesss notable bits. Cheers,  R o  gerthat  Talk  00:26, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

WP:AFL
Wondering Scotty if you love your footy or cricket, if so, join WikiProject AFL and WikiProject Cricket. Drop us a line on my talk page with any questions. Cheers,  R o  gerthat  Talk  00:26, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Rogethat, I'll rejig the article minus the did you know section. And I am very interested in both cricket and footy so ill check out that section Cheers Scotty
 * No worries, I've cleaned up the article further so it's not as "biased". One of the things on Wikipedia is that articles have to be balanced and unbiased (showing a Neutral Point of View, or NPOV). That means staying away from words like sensational etc (see what I've done in the article and you should get the idea). It sounds complicated but it's not :) Feel free to ask me any questions mate. Also when you sign messages on discussion pages, write ~ and it will sign your name automatically. Cheers,  R  o  gerthat  Talk  02:09, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Scott Thompson! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to this article, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:
