Telstra
Mate, Telstra being Australia's largest telco and media company is not a POV. it's a fact. use revenue, or whatever metric you need. but dont just claim POV. thanks 101.164.50.161 (talk) 11:20, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
 * You clearly have a Telstra point of view. Being paid much? Bidgee (talk) 11:27, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Aviation Heritage Museum of Western Australia
G'day Bidgee! You had a hand in fine-tuning the title for Aviation Heritage Museum of Western Australia. You may not be aware of a discussion on the Talk page to move this article to a new title of either "Aviation Heritage Museum" or "Aviation Heritage Museum (Western Australia)". See Talk:Aviation Heritage Museum of Western Australia. Cheers. Dolphin ( t ) 23:06, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Sydney Opera House
I just saw an edit of yours so I thought I'd pop by and say Hi. and..... if you have a few minutes, could you have a quick scan of the discussion at Talk:Sydney Opera House. Nobody else seems interested. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 11:38, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Climate of Sydney
I see that this was removed/reverted on the climate of Sydney page:

"Within the city and surrounds, rainfall varies, from around 640 millimetres (25 in) at Badgery's Creek (in the west) to 1,215 millimetres (48 in) on the Sydney Observatory (the east)."

It had an interesting, informative and rather trivial content accompanied by a SOURCE. Can I add it back? (Meganesia) 11:10PM, 25 October 2013 (AEST)
 * No, it's pure original research. The source only supports the data, not the view point. Bidgee (talk) 12:14, 25 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Odd, because Melbourne has it under its 'climate' section (and, worse, there is NO source supporting it - check it yourself). I've come across other pages that have this certain 'rainfall variation' info. Anyway, it's still what it is; an area here is drier compared to an area over there (which both are in the same basin or region) - how specific should the source be? I believe the 'view point' is how a Wikipedian puts it, basing it on the source. I still based it on the source; the source tells us that this area is wetter and the other is drier - I basically showcased that in the article. I really don't see how it's 'original research'. If that's so, then over half of the content on Wikipedia is 'original research', no? (Meganesia) 25 October 2013 —Preceding undated comment added 12:53, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
 * So? You're trying an other stuff exists argument but the burden is up to the person adding or reinserting the content. Also cease stealing copyrighted content, that includes close paraphrasing. Bidgee (talk) 12:57, 25 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Other stuff exists? Never knew Wikipedia would allow copyright content or original research on one page, but totally oversee this in other pages. This isn't fair and rather bias in nature - I thought Wikipedia had a one rule set. Anyway, I had the source, most importantly. The source said that this area is dry and the other is wet. How specific should the source be? About the 'copyright content', I'll try writing it with my own words basing it on the sources, but then again, god forbid, you'll tell me that it's original research and that "the source would support the data, but not the view point" or something yet again.

Nathan Rees
Saw your reversion at this article. While you'll find no more fervent believer in the utter worthlessness of the Daily Tele than me, given that this has led to Rees's resignation from the frontbench it's going to need some mention. Obviously BLP will need to be born in mind. Frickeg (talk) 11:51, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
