[edit] WP:AFL

G'day mate, noticed you've started work on articles like the Bob Skilton Medal. I'm getting basically no help on the many footy articles I've started, was wondering if you'd check out WikiProject AFL? Cheers, Rogerthat 10:27, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Just letting you know for stub categorising, with player-related articles, use {{afl-bio-stub}}. And you should categorise Schwatta under Category:North Melbourne Kangaroos players. See Category:VFL/AFL players for more details. Rogerthat 04:31, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] South Melbourne Logo

Hi mate, I've done some work on Category:Sydney Swans players and need to find a logo of the old South Melbourne Swans. Do you know where I can find one? Rogerthat 09:48, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Use of "they" and "it" wrt collective nouns like "Team"

Jessesaurus,

You have a good reputation about understanding the correct use of English. I have a question for you. When referring to a sporting team, such as the Australian cricket team, should one say "they won the match" or "it won the match"? I think the correct use of English would be to say "it won the match" or perhaps "the team won the match". However, the use of "they" in this context is widespread on wikipedia. It might confuse the issue when someone talks of a team with a mascot or emblem, like the Waratahs. In this case, saying "they" seems to say each individual member of the team is a Waratah, whilst in actual fact the team is called "The Waratahs" - strictly speaking, each player is not a Waratah.

Anyway, thats my opinion, what is your's? See Talk:Australian cricket team
