Assessment comments

Does Anderson have a first name? -- Zoe

Yep - fixed that thanks.

I left the stuff in about "a strong following in Sydney and an international reputation although apparently his actual written output was quite small." although it irks me - I personally do not know. I came across the article under the major misnomer of "Rocks Push" so that was a serious problem. -- wm

[edit] References

Trying to include a book reference but can't (despite much gnashing of teeth) get my footnote to work in the 5th para. Can someone help to fix, pls? Bjenks 09:31, 1 April 2007 (UTC) Many thanks to Grumpyyoungman01 for fixing. Bjenks 06:00, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

You are most welcome. Check out List of Old Falconians for an explosion of references. Grumpyyoungman01 08:12, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Very stylish! Btw, there are misspellings in the first two refs (com-) Bjenks 18:54, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

That is sharp of you. Thanks. Grumpyyoungman01 01:30, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discuss links here

Editors regularly clean out undiscussed links from this article. Please discuss here if you want a link not to be cleaned out regularly. (You can help!)--VS talk 04:36, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

I find this procedure ludicrous. The removed links convey a great deal of information without in any way compromising Wikipedis's standards. Please reinstate them forthwith, or provide more substantial justification than that they are 'undiscussed'.--Bjenks 11:24, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Potential Conflict of Interest Links - VS talk has removed two external links to a website which I publish containing information and articles on the Sydney Push and by some members of the Push. I acknowledge as an editor of this article, this is potentially a conflict of interest.

These are the links:

I believe these links are still relevant to the article as they contain specific information on and by members of the Sydney Push. To avoid a conflict of interest, I should not post the links to the article myself. You are free to discuss the relevancy of these links to the article and may place them back on the Sydney Push article if the editors of the article think they are relevant.

If it is some sort of corny policy, and some doyens of Wikipedia are content to regard the project as a purveyor of superficial information, that's fine by me--but I won't be wasting any more time trying to straighten out untruths and misleading gossip. I prefer media with more realistic standards than tossing out very rare info merely because it is "undiscussed"!! And is it a conflict of interest to write on a subject of which you have experience, or are only citizens of Melbourne and elsewhere qualified to write about the Sydney Push?!
