Did you know... that, 23 years after explorer Charles Sturt found and named the Murray River, his brother Evelyn Sturt(pictured), a Police Magistrate and notable grazier, declared it absurd that the area would ever become agricultural?

Hi VS. (1) The lead section of the article should be the last thing written since the lead should be capable of standing alone as a concise overview of the article, establishing context, explaining why the subject is interesting or notable, and briefly describing its notable controversies. Wikipedia:Lead section It looks as though the lead section of this article was written first. The lead section is not a concise overview and it does no explain why someone should read the article. What is the hook? Why would the five references cited in the article take the time to write about this guy? (2) You should crop the photo so that only the image is present. (3) To find categories for the article, go to each of the links in the article and look at the categories for those article since many of them may be useful in this article. For example, Grazier (Australian agriculture) linked in the article leads you to an article having Category:Agricultural occupations as a category. Clicking on Category:Agricultural occupations leads you to at least one caregory that may be relevant for the article. Do this for each link in the Evelyn Sturt article. (3) You can find banners for the article talk page in the same way. For each link in the article, go to that linked article's talk page and look at the banner. You might find one or two more banners that are relevant. (4) If you haven't already, go through WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. There may be some article publicizing steps that still can be taken. -- Jreferee 14:51, 2 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
