Deletion of Aussie Pollie Stubs
I am very concerned about the recent deletion of around 50 stubs on Australian politicians. These articles lay the foundation for what Wikipedia will one day be..."a multilingual free encyclopedia of the highest possible quality to every single person on the planet in their own language" (Jimmy Wales). '''This however will not happen overnight. I draw parallels to my own project on Central Coast, New South Wales articles. 90% of the suburbs are stubs. But these stubs encourage anyone to edit. Even trivial information has a place on Wikipedia. It should not worry YOU if the articles contained very little information, but you should be happy that the articles had information. In many cases these articles only needed an infobox and they would have been reasonably adequate. In closing I ask anyone who has supported their deletion, that you reconsider your vote by visiting this page: Deletion review/Log/2006 September 30 Todd661 10:36, 2 October 2006 (UTC)'''

What was wrong with what i added, it was all fairly accurate.134.148.5.104 01:09, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Chris Gymer
There's a AfD nomination for Chris Gymer (which is the correct procedure for article deletion; admins will not use a talk page vote to keep or delete an article). Also note that Mary Woolridge has been speedily deleted under the A7 criteria. Please feel free to comment on that page. ColourBurst 02:51, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Caltabiano
You removed information that was relevant for no apparent reason. These included a) the circumstances of the by-election, b) the fact that he was very widely considered heir apparent should Flegg fall, and c) wiping out most of the detail concerning his election defeat. The article wasn't huge, and there was no reason to chop out perfectly relevant information. Rebecca 03:49, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Paul Keating
I'm removing the few lines regarding the dismissal, not the typo correction. Its trivial and more at place in the Whitlam dismissal article.I elliot 11:35, 19 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Done. :-) I elliot 20:24, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Bismuth edit
I should have put more of my thinking on the TALK page. As it is, this bit of article, which was supposed to be on crystals, was getting to be a collection of warnings and user instructions for amateurs. This is sort of unencyclopedic, since it's not our job to tell people about dangers of home hobbies, or give instructions on do it yourself dangerous stuff. We've had problems putting that stuff even in the "precautions" sections of element articles (which some people have argued shouldn't even BE there at ALL). Nevertheless, the precaution section has survived for particularly trecherous elements like sodium, sort of as a public service. But I'd hate to see "precaution creep" in this fashion, all over wikis, intended for people who are bound and determined to screw up with some material--- and that's what I thought I was detecting here. See if you don't agree. S B Harris 03:12, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Bill Knott and Peter Knott
Thanks for the info. No idea what happened to Peter Knott, I vaguely remeber some incident in relation to the Princes Highway at north Kiama that should be mentioned in his article if it could be sourced.--Grahamec 01:31, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Adam Wise
Thank you for your interest in Adam Wise! I do not particularly like nominating orphaned articles for deletion, but my current project is assessing all of the unassessed biographies. When I come across any that lack any notability, I nominate them for deletion and let the community do the judging. If you can find any information to flesh out his biography it would be wonderful. --Ozgod 06:27, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

hermitage
will you please revise your discision to delete Hermitage High School we have revised it enough that it should now be notable

New South Wales general election campaign, 2007‎
After I reorganised and rewrote New South Wales general election campaign, 2007‎ last night it occurred to me that the whole thing seems pretty one-sided. The basic narrative of the campaign seems to be bad news story after bad news story for the government, not that the opposition has had much success in capitalising on that. I can't think of any notable good news stories for the government (or more than a couple of bad news stories for the opposition) - any ideas?

At the very least, finding a way to summarise the concrete, notable promises and policies of the major parties would probably help the article to seem less POV. Joestella 06:43, 24 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I hope that you don't go from the election articles, your edits look good to me and we need good editors!! It is certainly going to be a nasty year, I keep having to revert POV on WA articles about the Nationals, it is really absurd how people hate a party without even knowing what it is or what it stands for. DanielT5 11:31, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It's sad that articles have to be abandoned to POV just because of some determined users :( The WA Nationals really have three sections, the first one is a conservative mostly older group who go back to the David Brand days of coalition government, the next one is a centrist/moderate mostly younger group who are proud of their party's origins but feel it needs to move forward (this group are most definitely in charge now as well as a majority in membership) and the other one is a fringe group who probably belong more in One Nation or CDP or some other party like that. In some ways since coming to Perth I have noticed that the Nationals in my area attract the same people who would probably join Labor in the city, the few branches there are in the Perth metro are too conservative :( The WA party was the first conservative party in Australia to affirm gay civil unions, funny story, at the meeting that that vote was taken, Mark Vaile was there visiting, and he just silently watched and then left the room. Last time Barnaby was here he got a real good reception, I'm hoping that other guy in QLD gets in so we can revitalise the Nationals nationally (if you pardon the juxtaposition there!!)

Your vote for Castle at WP:AID
Thanks very much for voting for Castle. It's in a terrible state. --Dweller 19:29, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

My RfA
Thanks for your support in my recent RfA which passed unanimously - thus proving that you can indeed fool some of the people some of the time. I'm still coming to terms with the new functionality I have, but so far nothing bad has happened. As always, if there's anything you need to let me know, just drop me a line on my Talk page.

Orange Grove
Thanks, I'm an ex-public servant (perhaps future, as I'm prematurely retired), and the bureaucratic stuff-ups and laziness at times revealed is familiar territory.--Grahamec 23:37, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Richardson
Thanks for looking at the article. I have edited this page a bit. In your comment you mention "attack page". I think this is a very strong phrase to use here. I had a read of the wikipedia definition. Are you sure it is appropriate? cheers ROxBo 00:09, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Patisanship
Thanks. I'm still trying to think of an appropriate reply to the suggestion that I've developed a conspiracy theory by suggesting that the Telegraph is a dubious source for election coverage. But I think I'll let it go.--Grahamec 01:44, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks and bye
Hello, although I've never worked with you on Wikipedia, I would like to thank you for your contributions. I'm sure you've done this website a world of good. Good-bye! Lradrama 09:11, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Attack on User:Joestella
Please do not make personal attacks. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you. this user page went too far i think - it reflects poorly on ur other good work ChampagneComedy 15:34, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I have removed the reference to Joe by name from the User:Jeendan page. I believe this is sufficient to disqualify the page from speedy deletion, so I have also removed the db-attack page. If you still believe the page should be deleted, you may make a nomination for deletion at WP:MFD. — coe l acan — 17:19, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Farewell Jeendan
It disappoints me that Jeendan has seen fit to leave Wikipedia because of the user's political persuasion. Given Jeendan's broad knowledge of politics, we can only hope that this user account has been abandoned in favour of another, and that she is just trying to make a political point with an abusive "dead" user page.

In the farewell, the user charges that I'm in the service of the NSW branch of the Liberal Party of Australia. I can assure other editors that this is not the case. For my part, I consider much of Jeendan's work to be partisan apologia for the NSW branch of the Australian Labor Party.

Jeendan's colleagues on the left have been able to block the deletion of her attack page through the weight of their numbers on Wikipedia. This sort of bullying is probably the reason for the left's numerical superiority here. But I'm not going anywhere.

It's funny. Now that Jeendan is gone, I miss her intellectual rigour. It's sadly lacking among the leftists who remain. Joestella 07:53, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
