Your edits to Victoria
Hi there

Melbourne is the second largest city in Australi according to the official ABS data. This has been discussed on the Talk page. Please see this discussion and add your comments if you wish. Also please discuss your other proposed changes and seek consensus. Please note wikipedia policy: WP:BRD

 * My apologies, the discussion was on the Melbourne and Sydney talk pages. I have opened another one on the Victoria page. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 07:46, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Victoria is on a list of pages in need of work. I only updated the page because it appeared to be out of date.
 * But if you guys are having a debate over which is the largest city, I'll leave you to it. ash (talk) 07:57, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
 * That's fine, I agree it needs a lot of work but please make sure your changes accord with policy and you get consensus for factual changes. For example, the lead in supposed to have a maximum of four paragraphs: WP:LEAD. Unless there is an obvious problem with the lead, it's often more useful to update the main part of the article first, and if no other editors object to this then incorporate the changed information into the lead. Also please note that when you use "and" in a sentence with the same subject BOTH parts of the predicate must be true. Eg "Victoria is one of Australia's six states and two territories" means: a) it is one of the six states; and b) it is one of the two territories. I apologise for not explaining my reasons for reverting your contribution more fully in the first place. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 08:16, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm ItsPugle. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, it's important to be mindful of the feelings of your fellow editors, who may be frustrated by certain types of interaction. While you probably didn't intend any offense, please do remember that Wikipedia strives to be an inclusive atmosphere. In light of that, it would be greatly appreciated if you could moderate yourself so as not to offend. ''Please refrain from making direct or indirect comments about other users' intellect, from behaving in a standoffish manner, or any other way that doesn't positively contribute to the community. Editorial discussions should be held on the article talk page and be focused on the edit, rather than the editor.'' Tim (Talk) 09:09, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
