[edit] bias

I think that it is natural, given the vast majority of Australian Editors are left wing. However, most are very even handed and go out of their way to do so. Given that, there are some articles, and sections of articles, that I am unhappy about. Xtra 22:17, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Damir

Haha, thanks mate. But I just started the article (wrote the bit at the top) - the quote and stuff were added by someone else, so I shouldn't take much of the credit :). Makes for great reading though doesn't it, the bloke is a character even if he's a strange unit. I was surprised there was no article on him until I made it.

Good to see another Oasis fan, that's probably my second fave after "Acquiesce". You into Aussie Rules at all? I've set up WikiProject AFL, which you might wanna take a look at. Cheers, Rogerthat ^Talk 11:36, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Westfield marion.jpg

This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Westfield marion.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Marion wetlands.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Marion wetlands.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. BRossow 17:16, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hazelwood Park

Hey Beneaththelandslide, I just wanted to let you know your Hazelwood Park article is looking awesome! Keep up the good work. Dally Horton 05:43, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Info Source?

Howdy Beneaththelandslide, I've just seen the great info you've added to the Toorak Gardens article. Were are you finding this stuff? I searched for hours the other night and I'm struggling to find anything. I have got some more photos to upload though. I got stuck with Toorak Gardens, so I started on Dulwich. Same problem!

[edit] Adelaide sources

Hey there. In response to your question about the sources I use for articles on South Australian history, I mainly use the following (although not exclusively):

• The Flinders History of South Australia - The Political History (1986), ed. by Dean Jaensch and its sister companion The Flinders History of South Australia - The Social History (1986), ed. by Eric Richards.
• The Australian Dictionary of Biography gives concise biographies of South Australians.
• Depending on the time frame you wish to concentrate on, I have found books on Thomas Playford IV to be quite useful, as they tend to span the quarter of a century Playford served as Premier. If I recall correctly, Playford's South Australia: essays on the history of South Australia, 1933-1968, was quite good.

All these books should be readily available from Adelaide libraries. Hope this helps. --Roisterer 04:37, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Greg Sheridan

Hi there Michael. How is school going? I think you may be interested in this. I'm not sure it is encyclopedic to put commentaries of Sheridan's opinions here. It is supposed to be for the reader to work out if they think his opinions are justified in fact or not.Regards, Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 05:28, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

• Actually, I only read the Australian because it has the best quality cartoons; The only columnist in Australia that I like is Peter Roebuck, the rest seem rather obsessed with their (perceived) intellect and repeat the same stuff each week, with very dubious reasoning. Still, I think that Sheridan, as well as anyone else, should be evaluated on what he says, without editors prodding the reader. As for Christianity in Australia, I've observed this Tarins guy for 2 months now, and it's pretty obvious he is here to insert Islamic POV at the expense of all other religions. The Christianity article was created in the same way as Rugs Galore, basically (were you aware of User:DarrenRay and his date with the ArbCom at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/DarrenRay and 2006BC/Evidence?). The "Islamic personalities" there is a list of notable islamic people, but Tarins only allows positive things about Islam (saying that terrorists (convicted and suspected) are "Australian criminals" not "muslims") while he previously stuck all these "jewish terrorist" tags around the place.

[edit] Scripture Suggestion (Portal:Christianity)

Hi Michael. Thanks for your suggestion. I have replied to your suggestion here. As you can see from earlier examples, the "showcase scripture" must be longer than one verse long, so if you could suggest a longer passage that includes John 3:16 then by all means it can be included. Once you have done this, simply post it to the suggestions page and it will be used next month. Cheers, Brisvegas 01:30, 25 March 2006 (UTC) P.S. I changed the colour scheme per your suggestion. How do you like it?

[edit] Grace Portolesi

What is in doubt? I'm happy to supply references if something is disputed. Ambi 11:12, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Specifics, boy, specifics. The {{fact}} tag is good for this purpose. Tagging claims you genuinely dispute is fair, and I'll source them if you'll go to the trouble of pointing them out. Tagging an article without specifics, however, is just being a pest. Ambi 11:22, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm tracking down the three cites now, but Factiva is being a pest and timing out, so it might have to wait until the morning. In any case, though, there was no interpretation on any of them. It is, believe it or not, entirely possible for a sane person, particularly one on the other side of politics, to dislike the Family First Party. Ambi 11:40, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

There now. Got it working. Ambi 11:49, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ben Gray

Is this guy really notable? I was about to nominate it for deletion, but then I saw that you'd written it. Ambi 02:45, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Probably not as he didn't get elected. I am not particularly concerned whether his article is removed or not - but I am tilting towards a keep. The particularly high vote for the Greens (15% from memory) in a traditionally conservative electorate (Bragg) is fairly notable - and Ben would have been a significant driving force behind that. michael ^talk 02:54, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

My two cents are that he's not notable enough. I'd AfD it.--cj | talk 03:29, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

That's fine, no worries. michael ^talk 03:42, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm not too fussed either way. If it is 15%, it'd be a good claim to notability (but article should emphasise this), though the article at the moment says he polled 9%. Ambi 03:47, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

I went ahead and AfD'd it.--cj | talk 07:13, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Hi there Michael. Thanks for the barnstar. By the way, I was clearing out my watchlist and though that this article - Christian dating may be of interest of you. I put it on my list when I was doing Special:Newpages patrol once because it seemed strange and I couldn't think of anything to do with it - it hasn't been touched since. I have also been targetted for reverting vandalism to Xtra's talk page - all with a recurring theme. Regards, Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 05:12, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
