Lake Moogerah
Your additions to this article are not good. Your spamming an encyclopedia with external links and promotional material that doesn't belong. Another editor or myself is going to have remove all the non-notable information you have added. We don't use words like "stunning", "extremely popular" or phrases like "not to be missed". Please remember that Wikipedia is not a reference guide. I'd suggest you start at What Wikipedia is not and spend another few hours reading up on our policy and guidelines. - Shiftchange (talk) 07:55, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

I suggest someone who considers themself an Encyclopedia Editor should spend some time learning correct English grammar: YOU ARE = YOU'RE.

Considerable time was spent reading the advice for use. As a first time user there was always the possibility that mistakes would be made. It is fascinating to note Wikipedia's attitude toward, and treatment of, people making a genuine contribution to the site, and interesting that genuine contributions to a page, made with the interests of the majority of people who may utilise such a resource are slammed, whilst other pages are infiltrated with slanderous, pornographic content, falsehoods and misleading information to the point that schools and universitities have to ban the use of wikipedia altogether. As someone familiar with the area the original wiki for Lake Moogerah read like a brochure for certain businesses using the lake (who are actually peripheral to the larger scheme of things) and completely ignored the existence of others.

Nevertheless your comments, discouraging somebody who may have made many valuable contributions to Wikipedia in future (as an English Literature and History major, teacher, librarian and postgraduate student), and the attitude of Wikipedia towards contributors (belittling, condescending and rude) have been noted and will be promoted as ardently as I am able.

 * Your correct, my grammar can be poor and sometimes I place extra commas that aren't needed and probably make lots of other errors. In this case I may of even forget to assume good faith. I'm sorry if my tone was not appropriate. I assure you I am not elitist. I thought you were working for the Boonah Tourism Association or something. Also I wouldn't let a rude stranger stop me from doing what I want and neither should you. I hope you can forget this misunderstanding - Shiftchange (talk) 12:08, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
