The WA government has a Pioneers List in which you can search for birth, marriage and death information from the early years of WA. Do a birth search for Bertie Cooper and it clearly shows 1892 as the year of registration of his birth. The-Pope ( talk) 09:13, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Unless the info that you have is from a reliable source, which generally means published somewhere, you can't use it. I am not related, and I've managed to find out his army death notice, a listing from the WAFL of his games played and that he was captain in 1913 and 1915 and now his birth registration: "COOPER BERTIE FREDERICK, Father: GEORGE, Mother: FENNELL EMMA, Place of Birth: FREMANTLE, Reg #:493, Year: 1892 [1]. I can tell you that he had two younger sisters and three older sisters and two older brothers. All from reliable sources. Unless you can quote a more reliable source, you simply can't keep changing it. I can't write "Matthew Pavlich is Fremantle's greatest ever player" unless someone else reliable has done so. Wikipedia doesn't care what you or I think. It's want to print what others have researched. Do you have a birth certificate, a letter or just the memory of a relative? This is an encylopedia, not a memorial website or a family history one. To be brutally honest, if someone claimed that he wasn't notable enough, we'd struggle to keep him in - captaining the Dogs might just keep him as at the time the WAFL was one of the main leagues in the country, but I had a huge fight on keeping the David Gault article last year. I hope you stick around and contribute to some other articles, not just this one, but you need to read the rules, guidelines and see what the standards are and work within them, not just doing your own thing.
