[edit] Amendment to Missy Higgins article

The amendment made to the Missy Higgins article did not remove material without good reason. The material is more appropriate at the end of the article where it is already duplicated. It also wrongly describes "Steer" as the title track of the album. The sentence about release dates does not make grammatical sense. I'll leave it if it makes you happy to have such badly written material in the article, others may not be so generous Keithmall 11:26, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. I am genuinely sorry if the tone of my comments seemed uncivilised but your own comments ie "please do not remove material without good reason" were also a bit abrasive considering we now agree that my amendments were made for a reason. Clearly we are are both interested in the quality of the article and of Wikipedia in general so maybe we should shake hands from (presumably)several thousand miles apart and work for the common good. I think the compromise amendments that have been made are absolutely fine. He is quite correct that this is an encyclopedia not a fan information site. I think the "headline" reference to a 2nd album (which I guess we are both looking forward to hearing), with fuller details in their chronological place is a correct approach to the structure of the article. We have both apologised for our comments and I am pleased this has come to a grown up conclusion. Keithmall 17:28, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Canterbury and Monomeath Avenue

When I reverted back, it wasn't a straight revert, as a check of the diff will show (March to my last edit) - I tried to incorporate as much as possible of what you had added, including the history of Monomeath Avenue and the list format of residents, which I preferred to the earlier paragraph style. I even included some of the descriptive language.

However, some of the reversions are a tad odd - firstly I checked the domain.com.au listing today, hence why I updated the date. Secondly I unlinked the schools as there is a general consensus on Wikipedia as to what constitutes notability in order that a school can have an article. Thirdly, re "village charm", I'd point you to some comments I made elsewhere about such terms in articles (to avoid repeating myself here) - also see weasel words. Same applies to "coveted" - who covets? where can this be verified? Finally, "most notable residential address", "an Australian icon", "prestigious street", "retains its full glory" - again, can't be verified and is POV (these would look quite comfortable in a tourist brochure, but not in an encyclopaedia). The stuff about Anthony Podesta's mansion is basically unverifiable.

This is what I was referring to in my initial comments - certainly nothing against the article being added to in an encyclopaedic way and many of your contribs have been useful in improving/upgrading the article. Orderinchaos 12:59, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Aside re pics

Pretty impressed with the photography :) I'd strongly recommend you upload them (preferably under the same names as what you have here) to Wikipedia Commons at http://commons.wikipedia.org - if you set up an account there, you can upload them the same way you do here. If you do that, make sure you put [[Category:Canterbury, Victoria]] in the information box after the }}. Main reason for this is if the article gets translated into another language then they can use the pics as well. Orderinchaos 13:13, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the friendly attitude you showed. I'm sorry I didn't analyze the article enough and made a fast-minded decision to revert it as I thought as my section ==Monomeath Avenue== was taken out, but was merely reorganized and edited. Only one little thing I want to add is a comment adding that Monommeath is a notable street in the Melbournian community (many tourists buses go down it and it's name is synonymous with wealth, prestige etc.)I give you permission to upload my fabulous pictures onto commons and re-link to them from Canterbury's page and delete the ones on wiki.

No worries. BTW the tourist buses bit could definitely be included as it's verifiable - case of, you can say the what without explaining the why, and leave readers to deduce that tourist buses would only visit it because it's a notable street (as further illustrated by the list of residents further down the page).

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Tony Jones.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Tony Jones.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 20:31, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
