[edit] Biological Value

I noticed you appear to be involved in biology articles or WikiProjects relating to biology and human processes. This article, on a method for evaluating biological utilizations rates of proteins in humans and animals, was started in August and is in need of the attention of an expert. We are having trouble locating one and the article desperately needs it. This method is used constantly in bodybuilding magazines and products and is the subject of much misinformation and half-truths. On the other hand it does appear to have some value. Please help if possible. In case you're wondering why I picked you I just looked through some Science WikiProjects and biology articles and your name appeared a lot in one or both categories. Incidentally if you decide not to do this for whatever reason there's no need to reply. I'll just take it you're busy or uninterested and leave it at that. Thanks.

[edit] AfD nomination of Hai-Sha Ni

An article that you have been involved in editing, Hai-Sha Ni, has been listed by me for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hai-Sha Ni. Thank you. You didn't actually contribute towards the article, but you are one of only three people who have contributed to the talk page. WLU 17:59, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits to David Flint

In this edit, you managed to make several serious mistakes.

  1. Please do not refer to good-faith edits, however wrong, as "vandalism". This is vandalism. None of user:Beaconsfield's edits are even close. See WP:VANDAL#What vandalism is not.
  2. Please do not bite the newcomers such as Beaconsfield.
  3. Please do not speculate on the real-world identity of good-faith editors.
  4. Please do not call anyone a sockpuppet without also producing convincing evidence. (Tenuous historical associations do not count.)
  5. Please do not make personal attacks anywhere in Wikipedia.
  6. If you think an edit to a biographical article was made by the subject of that article, do not blindly revert it. See WP:BLP#Dealing with edits by the subject of the article.
  7. Please note that http://www.rodneycroome.id.au/other_more?id=605_0_2_0_M is not in itself acceptable as a source, per Wikipedia:Convenience links#Reliability.

I get the impression you have taken upon yourself the role of Gatekeeper for David Flint. If so, you are violating several of Wikipedia's fundamental tenets — and belying your own claim to be an adult. CWC 14:27, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

This is wrong in every respect. Just examine the edits referred to [1] and my response and make up your own mind. AussieBoy 12:20, 28 June 2007 (UTC) AussieBoy 02:34, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Guinea Land Dummying Scam

Hi, AussieBoy. Glad to meet you. Thanks for your message regarding the New Guinea affair. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks the JH article is a cleansed version. It's pretty crazy that some people just want to delete facts. And so far, I haven't been able to do anything about it. I'm relatively new to Wikipedia also, so I don't know the ropes as well as I should. According to the Wiki etiquette rules, deleting 'useful content' is a real no-no. But today I failed in the Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts to have anything done about it. Anyway, stay in touch. It's good to know there's someone else out there who agrees!

[edit] Bing Crosby

Excellent. One of the frustrating parts of wiki is knowing a fact but not being able to track a reference. It is a very good reference. Maggott2000 08:49, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lyall Howard

The article on Lyall Howard is listed on the AfD list. Are you familiar with it? Do you think it should be retained or deleted? Lester2 20:24, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not sure what's funnier

You or South Park. Thanks for your entertaining input. --Pete 10:54, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

A typical ad hominem and ad lapidem attack. Take note those of you who wish to learn! AussieBoy 03:48, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

You're not alone in being subjected to this barely veiled scorn. In contrast, thanks for your insightful comments on the John Howard talkpage. If you are interested, your views on recent issues at David Hicks and Children Overboard Affair would also be valued. --Brendan Lloyd [ contribs ] 12:40, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions, including your edits to John Howard. However, please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information about living persons must not be libelous. Any controversial statements about a living person added to an article must include proper sources. Thank you. Also, there is 3RR to consider. Shot info 02:07, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

AussieBoy, you probably should be aware that User:Shot info has named you in an ANi report here: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Edit_Wars_continue.--Lester 05:30, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request for Mediation: Howard family copra interests

A new Request for Mediation has been initiated for the John Howard article regarding the Howard family interests in Copra plantations in New Guinea. Initially, a small number of editors were listed as 'interested parties'. However, the Committee Chair has indicated that a wider group may now be invited to participate. An invitation will now be sent to everyone who has previously commented on the John Howard talk page regarding this subject. If you would like to participate, please place your name at: Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/John Howard. There is also a discussion page regarding this RfM.

[edit] Can you help me?

Hi, AussieBoy. I'm an Italian user of it.wiki and I found in your user page that you speak Thai language. I'm looking for documentation about the use of backswimmers as food in Thai cook (for an article in the it.wiki). Do you know about a thai dish named "Jom"? I read that is a dish based on rice and backswimmers. In th.wiki there is an article (Jom) but I don't understand this language: would you tell me about the subject of this article? Thanks --gian_d 17:06, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
