G'day Ops,

I've got two welcome messages for you to choose from here; let me know which one you find more useful.

Welcome!

 * Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for the contributions! We're always happy to have new Wikipedians with a serious interest in improving articles! As you can see, we're also very keen on maintaining a neutral point of view (or NPOV) in all articles. Unfortunately, some of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's NPOV policy, and have been reverted. There's a great article about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. We thank you for your interest in helping Wikipedia to be well-rounded in its presentation of controversial subjects, and look forward to being able to fully incorporate your contributions!

I assume from your choice of editing subjects that you're an Aussie. That's good &mdash; the more the merrier! You may like to take a peek at Australian wikipedians' notice board, which is designed as a place for Australians to meet and discuss Wikipedia issues. --fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 15:22, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Transferred from your Anon Talk page
Please do not make partisan edits under the guise of "relevance and grammar," especially from the cover of anonymity. Adam 00:14, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

If you continue these stupid edits I will apply to have you blocked for vandalism. Adam 14:12, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

When you make good edits, as you did with Peter Costello, I will support them. When you make stupid edits, like saying that Minchin is "a member of the National Right," or obviously partisan edits as you did to some other articles, I will revert them. Adam 14:59, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

When you make comments on another User's Talk page, you should sign them so the User can reply. Adam 15:15, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

I'm glad that you have now become a registered User. It's obvious from your edits to Peter Costello that you are well-informed on Australian political matters. Some points to consider: Adam 02:46, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
 * plenty of other people here are also well-informed on these subjects.
 * any attempt to smuggle your opinions into articles under the guise of "relevance and grammar" will be spotted at once and reverted.
 * if you think articles on Liberal politicians are biased against them (and you may be right about that), the solution is to add material which is factual and relevant and which will survive scrutiny, not to delete hostile quotes
 * categorising people as "left" or "right" or "extreme left" is inevitably contested and not worth trying. In any case "left" and "right" should not be written "Left" and "Right."
 * telling us that your favourite politicians "favour a strong national defence" or other motherhood statements implies that others do not and is therefore biased, and will be reverted.
