[edit] Suburbs

On a positive note, yes! Feel free! I've just borrowed The Paddocks Beneath (a history book of burnside and its suburbs) from the library and am doing some heavy reading to start on the road to writing their history sections! If you find it easy enough, I'd borrow the same book (its great, and theyve got a bunch of copies). References can be found on the ABS, electoral results, national library of australia (for photos, all before 1955 are copyright-free). Check out Waterfall Gully for ideas and a layout.

Good luck! - Gt 11:10, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Misanthropic?

Hello there, do you deem yourself misanthropic or something? Just curious. Le Anh-Huy 08:11, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

I know that I certainly do so I can associate with this person. Enigmatical 22:40, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Well, it's not as if I just thought it was a pretty-looking word. :-P misanthrope

[edit] Bressington

A sincere thank you for removing that silly sentence. Feel like removing it from all the other MP articles? michael talk 08:21, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

With pleasure. misanthrope

Sorry to see the reference go. She is anti-euthanasia, and voted for the suppression from Hansard of a euthanasia-related speech. Isn't that relevant? That motion was the first of its kind in Australian politics. Isn't that of note? Or do you people want articles about trains to be longer than those of our politicians? (Mind you, trains probably have more character than some of the local politicians we have). Leo 14:55, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

...Um, trains? I don't see the relevence. Must we include every vote that every State politician casts during their time in Parliament, now? What a waste of space (and time)! misanthrope
I didn't realise every vote that pollies make in parliament sets a precedent of hansard suppression. Oh that's right, they don't! (i'm not adding them nor removing them, I just think you need to see it for what it is) Timeshift 06:48, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Mention of the precedent should obviously only be made in articles about the politicians directly involved, not every single MP who voted for or against. misanthrope

It is, IMO, at least as important on Bressington's page as her policies on the drinking age, drug-testing and antihomosexuality etc.

So are you going to include every vote she casts in Parliament, now? misanthrope

Of course not. Nobody cares how she votes on Pork Belly Futures. This was an unprecedented vote to suppress Hansard and she was in the thick of it. Sure, most of the Libs don't need to be tagged with the vote, and probably not all of the Labor, but anti-euthanasia is her stated policy and she showed how far she was willing to run with it. Leo 14:40, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Except that it wasn't even so much as a euthanasia issue (despite what Kanck claimed) as suicide in general. misanthrope

That's just an opinion. The fact is she voted against publication on the net and you oppose the mention of it on her wiki page based on your opinion. I'm just happy we've exposed a few more SA theocrats. Leo 13:36, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

The law she was "protesting" against was once which prohibits the online publication of suicide instructions and such. Not specifically euthanasia, but suicide in general. Also, I don't think Bressington's a theocrat so much as a lunatic. ;-) misanthrope

I wasn't talking about Bressington. HTH. Leo 10:50, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Nor was I. misanthrope

[edit] myocardial infarction

just thought i should say that the fact everyone's heart stops when they die is not the same in any way as "just about everyone" suffering a heart attack before they die. that's a specific diagnosis. not the same thing. ta -- W guice 09:59, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Kindly don't patronise me. I'm well aware of that. However, my point is that it is in fact this diagnosis which ultimately kills most people, not the stingray barb/shooting/poisoning/whatever that technically caused it. misanthrope
actually it's precisely the reverse: the medical profession, coroner's offices, etc. regard this as a secondary side effect of the primary (technical) cause. -- W guice 15:02, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Exactly - shouldn't we have the primary cause cited? misanthrope
We do. We also mention significant complications of primary causes where they contribute to the death. Still not the same as everyone's heart stopping when they die -- W guice 11:25, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
I realise that, but I was talking about the fact almost everyone goes into cardiac arrest before they die, not just that it "stops". Obviously, it's going to stop. misanthrope

[edit] Abbie Cornish

I know you're a big fan and all, but quit deleting information just because you don't happen to like it. This isn't the first time you've been reprimanded for something like this. I'm sure you don't want to get blocked again.

Jinxy

Sure - "reprimanded" by an anonymous user who accused me of having a "personal agenda" and "whitewashing" material which was against Wiki policy regarding OR and verifibility, to the extent that it came perilously close to libel. Much like in this case. Woe is me, conforming to all those mean Wikipedia rules! misanthrope 16:00, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Mister Jinxy

At this point, I think it would be best to move on. Blocks are not punitive, only preventative, so it would be inappropriate for me to institute one after-the-fact. Furthermore, his indignation aside, he has recieved the warnings; any additional ones are likely only to inflame things. If it helps, he is certainly in the wrong. I will keep an eye on his contributions to see if he is persistently incivil, and if so, will step in. If you have any further issues with Jinxy, or other users, please let me know. Thanks, --cj | talk 08:10, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jindabyne (film)

Thanks very much for your extensive contributions to the Jindabyne article. I appreciate it. Nuxx 23:25, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Spam whitelist

I'll take a look at it now. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 03:40, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
