[edit] Adelaide High School

Hi

I removed your note about the SFSA because I considered it not to be encyclopedic. I thought it was not relevant to someone trying to find out about Adelaide High School from an encyclopedic perspective. See also WP:NOT#SOAP, try not to write about things that you have a strong personnel involvement in. ...maelgwntalk 00:12, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Your large amount of personnel involvement is entirely relevant, it means that the reasons for your changes are to push a personal agenda rather than to improve the content of the encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not a way to stop the double booking of their facilities. No I will not agree to moderation and suggest you post on Talk:Adelaide High School. PS Why do you keep emailing me? ...maelgwntalk 08:36, 25 April 2007 (UTC)


As Lt. Doolittle told Bomb #20, the origin of the argument is not important. Your "not soap" links to screed on bias, not interest. Any subjective experience can be couched in "neutral point of view" terms, and hence be objective. From Wikipedia's point of view they aren't against objective information, just biased propaganda. From your arguement anyone with an interest should be barred from anything they know about. The school has requested we add this to their entry, are they (being the subject) also too personally involved?

As to it not being encyclopedic, I don't know what model you're using. Take the example of the first public execution in the colony of South Australia. If I put this up in the other uses of site subentry would you remove it? If yes your're wrong, it's relevant to the school. And if no you're still wrong, as the club is relevant to the school entry. PS because this is the first time I've used a talk page. ...martinsfsa 13:00, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes the school is personally involved and should not be involved in the contents of it's page on wikipedia. Yes but you're club is not relevant to the school. Its has no impact on education at the school, the schools history, foundings, curriculm, staff, students, current student achievements ... all the things that are notable to anyone interested in the school ...maelgwntalk 05:25, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

I do not understand why you are saying this, as we're not saying it's any of those things but another use of the site. It is a part of the school. It is going in the school history book. It's relevant both to the school, and all the other people who keep being double booked with us. There's a place for this information and it's in this entry! All organisations with this kind of relationship should be listed in the school entry. All other uses of the site should be available through the entry. What do you suggest to make this happen? A separate entry listing other uses? And what about the first execution? Would you remove that? As you won't agree to mediation, will you at least seek a second opinion? ...martinsfsa 18:15, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

How about posting on the Talk:Adelaide High Schooltalk page? You don't have to ask me to do anything, i have just as much power as you. You could even just revert it and see what happens...maelgwntalk 00:13, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

That's not quite true--I'm being creative and you're being destructive. It takes time for me to put up these changes and no time at all for you to obliterate them. I'd like some consensus before putting the effort it. If you will agree to putting up a second entry of other site uses it'd be worth my time. Would you contribute to such an entry? ...martinsfsa 07:05, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The formal proposal

Sir, I suggest that the present you is not the orginal you, but is a mere proposal of yourself. If one would like to disagree with my proposal, then I suggest that you are quite possibly disagreeing with yourself. Of course, one could be wrong, which would lead one into all sorts of discussions about if one is truly one's own self. Do you agree? Answers on a postcard please, to be sent to...--andreasegde (talk) 22:22, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Join

You could add your name to this, as you reverted a vandal on Macca's page (which shows a caring attitude, and for which we are extremely grateful). It's a lot nicer inside the house, and you would be very welcome. :)--andreasegde (talk) 01:49, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks; I'd have already done so if I was into it. As it is I'm already a member of a group: the South Australian Doctor Who Fan Club, and that should be enough for any man! MartinSFSA (talk) 11:42, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] June 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Paul McCartney has been reverted, as it appears to have removed content from the page without explanation. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. FelisLeoTalk! 08:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

You have reinstated a press release. I provided an edit summary on first reversion, but not on subsequent removal. MartinSFSA (talk) 08:53, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Hi Martin! The SFSA should have given away who I was talking to on the Reliable sources noticeboard‎, but I'm dense that way. I trust that you are well. :) Is the SFSA still going? - Bilby (talk) 14:02, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi again and thanks for your advice! Going it is (AGM Saturday week) and a third distribution of publications to each High School in SA will hopefully get some more members; you'd think having the show in production again would do this but numbers remain static.
