[edit] Neutral Point of View
I think this article needs to be more NPOV - phrases like "great success" probably do not belong here. Will be looking up more about this subject. - Tangotango 10:23, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
- The "great success" quote is given above only as an example. Wikipedia is an encylopedia - never should an article be used to promote an idea or organization. Articles should explain the subject matter they discuss in an unbiased and matter-of-fact manner. - Tangotango 11:11, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
- Absolutely: the original implied wholescale criticism of PE teaching as indifferent to social inclusion and obesity issues, and in need of reinvigoration. Wikipedia is not the place to cite correspondence such as acknowledgement papers from the Queen's officials. Kevin McE 11:51, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
- It would appear that some people have too much time on their hands! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.76.15.141 (talk • contribs) 12:19, March 25, 2006 (UTC)
- Wikipedia exists by virtue of people having time, and giving the time, to make articles honest and reliable, and NPOV Kevin McE 12:46, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
I resent the inference that the article was dishonest and unreliable. Perhaps you need to get a life, loser. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.68.220.102 (talk • contribs) 13:59, March 26, 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Anglocentrism
A bit of anglocentrism on the UK Aussie Rules article there... and here too. There is no UK sports minister since devolution. Richard Caborn is the sports minister for England, not Scotland or Wales. And Sportengland - well the clue's in the title. --MacRusgail 07:45, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Correct, this body is actually ASussie Rules England, and should sit alongside a sister organisation called Aussie Rules Wales. There is no "Aussie Rules Scotland" so the body cannot claim to be representative of football across the UK. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maccahawk (talk • contribs) 19:11, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] ("Kids in Sport are not in Court")
Has to be a joke because many "elite" adult players frequently are and sometimes they are in the pants of team-mates wives as well. Some role models. Albatross2147 (talk) 02:25, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Media coverage
The 2005 article referenced (which I commented out ie did not delete) did not mention the organisation and referred to a modified version of the game played at one school. Albatross2147 (talk) 02:32, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
