Talk:Ute muster

Untitled
I have know idea why I did a page on Ute Musters... I hate that aspect of Australian cultures.. oh well I guess because I knew an article about them would never be up here, because all those that attend dont have eletricty at home let alone connection to the Internet.. :P - UnlimitedAccess 16:15, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

uteshows/musters
I would be very interested to no where this person came across the comments he /she has posted as i not only find them insulting but also misleading in my 30+YEARS involved in uteshows/musters as an organiser,judge and also as a competitor i have only come across this type of behaviour at very rarely.As a point most ute owners spend a lot of time and MONEY on there utes and as most of them use them for there everyday work/commute cars thrashing them in to the ground is not an option.As for the stickers on windows it's just another way of expressing your own induviduality and maybe its shows a bit of pride in the fact that u travel to these places to get the stickers ,meet new people,and have a look around this beautiful country instead of critising.Ps dont need 240volts for my laptop it's hard wired to the ute's electrical system.[satelite connection is a wonderful thing] Dean (Deano)Johnson Vice President Sa Ute Club www.sauteclub.com
 * G'day, Are you refferencing my comments made above or the article itself? - UnlimitedAccess 9 July 2005 16:36 (UTC)
 * Well anyway, I will respond for both cases :). If you were reffering to the article and found factual errors or language that doesnt confirm to the Neutral point of view then please by all means help contribute! The more people that work on the article the more encyclopedic and accurate the article could become! Remmember to be bold in updating pages! Also, since your interested in Australian culture (if your interested) help expand the article on Bachelor and Spinster Balls!.


 * Now if you were reffering to my comments above, they were totally made in jest, and I applogise for any offense it may have caused you. My inclusion of the tongue-sticking-out-smiley (:P) was their to imply I was just teasing. I grew up in the town neighbouring Deniliquin so am quite well aware they have eletricity and the Internet I assure you, I would of died growing up without it.. :P In all honesty I wrote the comment to see if anyone would respond since it is a pretty obscure topic in the grand scheme of wikipedia :). - UnlimitedAccess 9 July 2005 17:45 (UTC)

Bundy
Isn't Bundaberg Rum known as 'Bundy' just about Australia-wide? --Martin Rudat(T|@|C) 11:52, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes the article has changed, it originally read "Known colloqually as Bundy". It was primarily written as an aside for non Australian readers. - UnlimitedAccess 12:17, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Why have a Ute Muster?
Where did the text in Why have a Ute Muster? come from? It was contributed by 155.205.201.11, but the style and feel does not suit Wikipedia. It reads like it may have been copied from somewhere, like a pamphlet or magazine, and does not have a Neutral point of view. Also the last edits have changed the view point of the article by removing criticism of Ute musters. DavidMarsh 12:49, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * It is a valid section but it should be edited to distinguish a Ute Muster from say a B&S or the Tamworth Country Music Festival.
 * I have taken a bit of a step to adjust some of the language (eg thin blue line - local police, etc)

 * I have rewritten and retitled this section I hope it is more wikified. I admit I might have removed negativity but I hope at the same time I am not stating that these things are all but a Sunday School morning tea?Garrie 01:20, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Citations for awards section
Does anyone else have citations for the typical categories? I saw there are at least seven (archived source) although that list omits several currently in the list: rural, VB, Holden and Ford (Work/Trade Ute is a duplicate), and all the novelty competitions. The article's list is obviously not too far fetched, but it would be nice to have some confirmation for the VB Ute competition in particular, because all I can find for that is a make of Holden Ute and a raffle entered by buying Carlton beer.
