Article improvement efforts[edit]

Efforts are being made to add content to this article to get it improved enough to nominate for Good Article. Efforts to improve the article are nominally being based on the article about Lauren Jackson given the sheer amount of information available about female wheelchair basketball players when compared to other sports like goalball. Hence, the article could really use a good copy edit, maintaining as much information as possible for the short term until all the content is in to determine what belongs and does not. The goal is to nominate the article for Good Article by the end of September. In the mean time, the article has also been nominated for Did You Know. --LauraHale (talk) 10:49, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation[edit]

"because people in the United States could not pronounce her first name correctly" - The obvious question is how *do* you correctly pronounce her first name? -- 205.175.124.30 (talk) 21:17, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Bridie" rhymes with Heidi. Hawkeye7 (talk) 03:25, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
