[edit] Altering Winter Magic Page

Dear Matt

I have removed the line about "not to be missed". Do you see any other problems with the entry? It is accurate. It is the Blue Mountains largest annual event with 40,000 people and Sydney's main ABC radio station (equivalent of your BBC) broadcasting it live. It is also an event run by community with little help from business or Council. It succeeds largely in spite of them. Thanks

Hi Warren. The main problem with the article is that it lacks reliable, verifiable sources, which is definitely a problem when it contains statements like "The Winter Magic Festival is the Blue Mountains highest profile and most anticipated annual event". We have a policy called 'No original research' which says that we can't publish original research or original thought. If you could find some sources for statements like this which are independent of you or the festival that would be fantastic, and may help persuade people that it shouldn't be deleted. You may face quite a bit of scrutiny because of our conflict of interest guidelines. Best of luck and happy editing. — Matt Eason (Talk • Contribs) 10:22, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hi Matt

I was experimenting with different fonts and colors in my user preferences and had not realized I had left my real name in place of my user name. Although I was even more surprised to learn that clicking on it had no effect, I was delighted to have finally found an answer to a question I had posted well over three years ago about how to keep from being stalked or having your user or talk page vandalized so easily. Here by accident I have discovered a method by which if another user truly has something of value to say that they have to go to a little bit more trouble than a vandal might be willing or able to go to in order to communicate a message. Thanks for your request. I will give it as much time as possible for consideration prior to my next post, however, in the mean time I plan to present this information to the Village Pump as a proposal to help all users protect themselves from being stalked and vandalized. Thanks again for your post. --Taxa 13:39, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
