Goodna article
Hi, and thanks for the message. It can be difficult dealing with an editor who obviously is very passionate about an article and its subject, especially when they start get into WP:OWN territory. Try and remain civil and have a look at Resolving disputes for some guidelines on resolving disputes. Perhaps start with small edits that you can both agree on before working on the bigger issues rather than fix every problem in one hit. Explain on the talk page how your edits will improve the article without being seen to disparage the work of earlier editors, who have also worked hard.

Most of your suggestions seem sensible. Some points: Electoral tables are reasonably common in these sort of articles and are probably best kept if removal is controversial, however the sections on the elected members are, as you say, much better put in the members own article and a link provided. Again, while gallery sections are not recommended for articles looking for good article and featured article status, there is no real problem with a gallery section as long as it is kept at a reasonable size.

Once again, welcome to Wikpedia. I will keep an eye on the article talk page and will add my 2 cents where I feel necessary. Cheers, Mattinbgn\talk 11:38, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

New Articles
If you are passionate about helping Wikipedia I could recommend creating pages for the suburbs surrounding Goodna. Currently there are six suburbs around it but only two have extremely minimal information. The other four have no pages created at all. Perhaps you could take the time to research and create pages for these. Maybe even taking some pictures.
