I added {{importance}}. First, the fact that the article is about an advertising campaign means that the article is awfully close to Wikipedia:Spam by definition. Also, if the group isn't notable enough to have an article of their own, it's not clear that one of the projects they're working on would be notable enough either. --Interiot 01:01, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

I see what you mean. I'm new to Wikipedia, and I created the article as I was adding more information to an article about the church I attend. I haven't put much information here yet, but I did intend to soon. I haven't got any affiliation with the Bible Society of NSW, and so I'm not biased in trying to advertise their advertising campaign at all. I just think that this is the first time that a group has done something on this level to get the gospel out there, so I thought it might be worth mentioning, and something that Christians in other countries would find interesting. The Bible Society of NSW has worked on many projects, but the projects are more well known for the projects themselves, rather than the group that is behind them. I can try to search for some examples if needed. Anyway, that's my opinion on it. Open to discussion, of course. And if I have done anything wrong, please let me know - only just signed up for Wikipedia a few hours ago so I'm still learning the ropes. :) - Tim 01:25, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

First off, welcome, we're glad to have your contributions. Second, this IS an encyclopedia, so people prefer more or less notable articles to appear, and hundreds of articles are deleted every hour. I personally wouldn't have created this article, and you may want to add more information about its possible notability. You may also want to try make sure articles you create are more notable in the future (I wasn't necessarily suggesting you create the Bible Society article). I left your Tuggeranong Uniting Church article alone though, because it might be judged acceptable under the Wikipedia:Schools criteria, to whatever extent that applies. Both articles are definitely borderline though, and either might be deleted if they were put up for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. --Interiot 02:43, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Ok, points taken. I'll see what I can do to expand it, and if it gets deleted, well, it gets deleted. Btw, the Tuggeranong Uniting Church article wasn't actually started by me - it's been there since 10th November. I just added it to it today. Thanks for your comments.

I am a member of the media strategy committee for the JAAL campaign in Canberra. I have expanded the article and, hopefully, thereby, explained its significance. Peter Ellis 05:40, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

This article is pretty one-sided - it deserves a controversy section at the very least. Rebecca 05:27, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
