Bill Shorten

Hi, just commenting on a prior discussion we had regarding Bill Shorten, i have checked my information and he has been made parliamentary secretary for disabilities and childrens services. NOT Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, which is what you argued he had been made secreatry for.

I am posting this message to you so you do not (again) revert the edit i have made, as it is correct.

thank you, (Jones234Jones (talk) 04:37, 12 December 2007 (UTC))

Shorten cont.

Well maybe next time you will trust that other editors (who i might add, live in Victoria) know more about Victorian federal labor candidates/members than someone such as yourself. No offence, but the problem with a lot of wikipedia editors is that they think they know best, and are not willing to allow edits of people who know more about the subject, and since wikipedia is basically annonomous, it is hard to prove that i know more about a particular subject than you do, and therefore i know that my information is correct.

And BTW, you dont own wikipedia so please dont act like you do. The fact that you say "i am now happy to see your edits" or something like that, suggests to me that you think you control what happens and have more of a say than what you really do.

All i am saying is next time check your facts much more carefully before you decide to revert other editors information, which is correct, when yours is not.


Regards,

Copyright

I agree with you AussieLegend just as it says on your userpage about how unfair Copyright is. All pictures should be free. I'm glad you are a user who dislikes Copyright on Images. Happy Editing!Swirlex (talk) 13:21, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Dubbo and Orange

On the list of australian cities by population you keep changing the list back to give Dubbo and Orange much smaller populations. Check the official figures from the councils buddy. Just because you are a wiki editor dosent mean you know EVERYTHING. Dubbo and Orange both have populations around the forty thousand mark. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.69.167.209 (talk) 00:38, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Hervey Bay Image

if you look at the history i have consensus for the image and this is a place where everyone should fell welcome to edit but people like you make it hard and if you look at the Abs website properly they give different population stats i have found 2 different figures.[1][2] so how can they be more accurate that the city councils site Jay2k (talk) 10:13, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

  • For your information - I noted your rollback of this image on Australia also. User L.Wadsworth has asked me a question on my talk page to which I have responded the following:
  • Please show me/us exactly where you have had the discussion on this image so that I can review my concern. I will also post this question to the other editor that has removed the picture. We will await your return and until then please do not put the image back up. Cheers!--VS talk 10:35, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Hervey Bay

just another quick note if the places are outside Hervey Bay but within the city council boundaries than they are part of Hervey Bay and should be included in the Hervey Bay figures.

Merewether

When was The Junction detached from Merewether and formed as a distictly separate suburb. If so it must have been only in the last 20 years. The Junction formed part of the old municipality of Merewether and the old Hunter Theatre at The Junction gave its address as 'Merewether' as did The Junction School'. Christchurch (talk) 10:45, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Re gazetted suburbs btw, that's when every suburb in New South Wales then in existence was gazetted. Up until then, towns and villages and so forth had been gazetted (I have gazettals of Caringbah and Miranda in the Sutherland Shire which pretty much conform to suburb boundaries) but not actual suburbs. Oddly enough I think Christchurch may have gotten confused with LGA boundaries from pre-1938 - not every suburb had its own council at that time. Orderinchaos 17:55, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Not confused at all. The Junction related to the junction of the two Merewether railway lines. When I lived there in the early 1970s, in Merewether Street, The Junction was part of Merewether. The Municipality also was Merewether until these councils were all incorporated into Greater Newcastle. See the latter council's publication for 1947.

Pop rank

I'm quite uncommitted re the pop rank - I think that sort of thing should be in the prose personally. Was just fixing it as it said 2nd (which would be Melbourne). Based on the UCL it should be 8th behind Canberra, but yeah. Orderinchaos 08:02, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Australia and AWB

Thanks for catching that. It was when it turned <br /></ref> into <br /" />. I manually remove the unworking template. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 23:19, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

I really need to learn to type as well. Part of the above was supposed to go as a bug report to AWB. The last sentence should have read, "I should have manually removed the unworking template". CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 23:37, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
I think you are right. I noted it at Wikipedia talk:AutoWikiBrowser#Odd reference in article may cause problem and was pointed to Wikipedia talk:AutoWikiBrowser/Bugs/Archive 6#Unexpected modification. At least with the next version of AWB it should be fixed. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 22:46, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Foundation date

Hi, I'd like you to give me more explanations about your edit summary: "It's still not a person, which is what the template is for.". Because I created "foundation date" and I can tell you it's not intended for person, rfc 16@r (talk) 23:38, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

"Creating a redirect with an appropriate name doesn't automatically turn the template into one sutable for any of those things."

Ok, so you don't mind if I create independent templates and then use them on articles so that others contributors are able to express some criticisms. 16@r (talk) 00:14, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

flags at Sydney

Perhaps it's time to consult WP:DEADHORSE. In the past I’ve been in your position and have been shown it too, sometimes we just have to ask if what we are fighting so hard for is actually really worth it. We all know there is much more significant work that could be done on WP that‘s not controversial. Why not focus on those areas instead of chewing up your time and energy on Sydney on what is ultimately really quite insignificant? Just a suggestion of course, said in good faith. kind regards --Merbabu (talk) 00:37, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

my suggestion was based on you apparently being the only one supporting the flags' inclusion, and the only one suggesting arguments for non-inclusion are flawed. "Flawed" argument in this case is clearly in the eye of the beholder. --Merbabu (talk) 01:56, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Sydney and Global City

Please explain why you think the conclusion that Sydney is Australia's primary Global City is OR. There are differences in rankings, but there are none that suggest Sydney isn't a global city, and few that place Sydney lower than Melbourne. Perhaps the statement could be more neutral - something like " ... giving Sydney global city status ..." which doesn't exclude any other cities. Eyedubya (talk) 03:38, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: Underbelly

Oh, I see. But then why do shows like LOST put the number of episodes aired? Corn.u.co.pia Discussion 12:38, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't think that what you are saying is right. Look at the pages for LOST, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Prison Break etc. and tell me what you see. Corn.u.co.pia Discussion 12:55, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
Look, I'm not trying to argue or anything, but I just confused as to why every single other show puts the number of episodes aired. I read the template, and I see what you are saying. Corn.u.co.pia Discussion 01:17, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
If you have a source saying 13 have been produced, then leave the number as it is. But if you don't, then we need to change it. Corn.u.co.pia Discussion 02:27, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Episodes

I know what they were saying. The point is, to say what was "produced" requires secondary sources to confirm that filming has ended on all of the episodes. Show's don't generally acknowledge when they are done filming completely for their season. Fansites usually find this stuff out, but fansites aren't reliable sources. This is why we typically rely on the "when it airs" formula, because when it airs we know for sure that they've "produced" it.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 02:39, 1 March 2008 (UTC)


Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Newcastle High School Logo.jpg

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Seaham Public School logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Seaham Public School logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:22, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
