[edit] Goldfields Highway

Why are you reverting my edits??

  • The spelling is terrible - lenora is Leonora
  • The text in the infobox does not make sense.
  • The Anne Beadell Highway has nothing to do with the Goldfields Hwy

By looking at the comments others have left here, it seems that you have a habit of doing as you please, without checking your facts. How do I know the infomation is correct?? I live in Kalgoorlie and drive this highway every day!! I will be reverting your edits back to the one's I made. Do not undo again or I will report you! Tazkal (talk) 13:42, 18 May 2008 (UTC)


Hi guys - been watching all this - Rom rulz has been at this stuff before - please note inadequate edit summaries will see his/her reverts reverted by an admin - rather than a normal editor - otherwise it gets into edit warring and possible WP:3RR territory. Please note that reverting without adequate talk page comment or summary as to why a change has been made is simply not on. Please take care with this - thanks SatuSuro 13:47, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

BTW - you never ask another editor to stop editing an article - that makes it obvious you are not very sure of how wikipedia works - SatuSuro 13:50, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Indeed! It can be seen as ownership of articles (See WP:OWN) Bidgee (talk) 14:38, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Goldfields Highway. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Bidgee (talk) 15:26, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Issue

OK You may well have info to hand where you think something works - I am not specifically debating that at this point - in March I asked you to consider edit summaries or more explanations on talk pages - so that someone can follow what you are doing - you seem to enjoy being 'secretive' - there are indeed requirements within general wikipedia practice that specifically request adequate edit summaries - and or notes/communications as to why an edit or summary has been done.

So when it comes to editng or reverting anothers edits - and asking them to stop editing - I consider you are wrong there - regardless of whether you think you are right' - thats not the issue - in the wikipedia community we survive (well most) from being clear and specific as to the information that we are changing or reverting - silent reverts deserve admin or further action - you dont say why in a summary or talk page comment - that is where I take issue.

I can understand that Tazkal has issue with your reverts as he actually experiences the highway. If you have a difference - put the argument on the talk page - clearly from yourside - and then work from there - not by silently reverting. Try it - it might actually help clarify what you are up to and help others understand some of your edits SatuSuro 14:10, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] State Hwy, Major Arterial Road, what on earth is going on?

Just noticed you've been editing the listing for 'highways' in each state. How are you defining each category? How are Nepean and Bellarine Hwys 'Major Arterial Roads' while Bass Highway is a 'state highway'? ([[1]] It doesn't make any sense. If you have reasons for these categories, where are you doing your research??? --122.107.221.248 (talk) 14:28, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Infact it's A1 (See Image:Vanderlin Drive Darwin.jpg) and there is no need to have it listed twice! Whats the point on having roads and highways listed twice? Bidgee (talk) 15:15, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Please don't add misleading messages in the edit summary as you did to List of highways in Northern Territory. Spelling edits is misleading as it wasn't spelling just readding something which is already listed. Bidgee (talk) 07:51, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Please provide evidence, a reference article, anything to prove that Alphanumeric Route Numbering is occurring in the Northern Territory. Otherwise I assume you are making up non-referential statements, and attempting to degrade the quality of Wikipedia's Australian Roads. Please assume good faith! As I have said see the photo or are you assuming the photo is fake? Getting referential statements from the NT Gov and the MVA is impossible however it's not stopping me from searching.

[edit] Highway list format

Ok, I think that a table may be the best way to list these highways.

Route # Road name
Stuart Highway
Victoria Highway
Barkly Highway
Stuart Highway 


{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Route #
! Road name
|-
| [[Image:Australian National Route 1.svg|30px]]
|'''[[Stuart Highway]]<br>[[Victoria Highway]]'''
|-
| [[Image:Australian National Route 66.svg|30px]] 
|'''[[Barkly Highway]]'''
|-
| [[Image:Australian National Route 87.svg|30px]]
|'''[[Stuart Highway]]'''
|}

I personally believe it looks alot better, keeping in with WP:MOS. What do you think? --Lakeyboy (talk) 08:49, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I like it! Looks a lot cleaner. Bidgee (talk) 09:15, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I realise you (Rom rulz424) like the "collapsable / expandable" format but the use of tables results in a much cleaner, easier to read interface for the reader. Of course, the design of the table can be tweaked. This was just something I whipped up in a few minutes. --Lakeyboy (talk) 09:16, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Highways in New South Wales

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Highways in New South Wales, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Bidgee (talk) 07:47, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
