References[edit]
Hi Geisha boy. What is written in Wikipedia should rely primarily on reliable, third-party, published sources (see Wikipedia:Reliable sources). It should not be based on our own recollections or on self published sources. The information I put in the Geisha (band) article on "More Than a Game" was in _Matera, Joe (December 2006), "Classic Album: Geisha. Geisha (1985)", Australian Guitar Magazine: 16{{citation}}: CS1 maint: date and year (link)_ and said "in 1994 released the single "More Than A Game" with his post-Geisha group Dragonfly - you'll know it as the theme to The Footy Show". Your changes to saying it was a Donehy solo single left this reference intact which was misleading (which is a major reason I have undone some of your previous edits). While it looks like the writer of the Australian Guitar Magazine (interestingly later part of Geisha) got it wrong, information should be based on what sources say so its best to find a source that says the truth.
