User talk:124.171.145.0

Welcome!
Hello, 124.171.145.0, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:
 * Introduction and Getting started
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article
 * Simplified Manual of Style

You may also want to take the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. You can visit The Teahouse to ask questions or seek help.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome!


 * If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

I reverted your changes to Moreton Bay simply because you (maybe inadvertently) presented your version as the one published by Robert Hughes (which it is not--please check the citation given). I agree with you that Hughes's version is not the best one, and not the one I've been used to singing. However, material included in Wikipedia requires verification by an authoritative source. You are at liberty to change the wording when you can replace the Hughes citation with another to back up your wording. Sorry, but variants of personal opinion, yours or mine, can't be allowed because most folk songs have many versions and we are realistically limited to one. If you can specify a reliable published source for your version, I'll definitely be on your side! Cheers, Bjenks (talk) 09:08, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
