[edit] deletion of Warwick McKibbin

curious as to why you deleted my entry on Warwick McKibbin on March 3? Wmckibbin 15:58, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Because it appeared to be mostly copyvio'd from http://cama.anu.edu.au/camaboard.htm. There are minimal differences between the two, the first halves are almost identical. Copyright violation and plagiarism are not solid foundations to write an encyclopedia on. If you can take another stab at it, writing originally this time, I'm sure nobody will object. Be sure to assert his notability, that's the other grey area with the original article. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 16:20, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Ehhh... looking at your username, I wonder if you are in fact the subject of the article? If so, please read Wikipedia:Autobiography. Regards, CHAIRBOY (☎) 16:22, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RBA Meetings

I see you deleted the note re the board meeting being held in Melbairn on the same day as the race meeting. This in an unconscionable rort by board members to deftray their travelling and accomodation expenses to an event most of them would be going to anyway and have them met by the Australian public. There is no other rational explanation for this annual coincidence. I have rejigged the para to take out any hint of editorialising & I hope it meets with yr approval. --Albatross2147 13:17, 23 June 2006 (UTC)


The RBA Board never meets in Melbourne during the Melbourne Cup. It is sometimes reported in the press because it is assumed - but in fact it has not happened. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not a rumour mill. Check with the RBA if you don't agree with me. Board members rarely attend the Cup because they are in Sydney at the meeting. -- Wmckibbin 09:47, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

I have contacted the RBA media department. They are reluctant to provide dates and locations of past meetings outside Sydney ie. they have refused. This seems to indicate that they are somewhat embarrased by the information. Do you have any documentation? Albatross2147 01:26, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
