Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. --RrburkeekrubrR 13:24, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

"The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—what counts is whether readers can verify that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether we think it is true." (Verifiability).

As offered previously, please indicate factual errors, with independent references, and I will gladly change the article. Random edits like striking out your middle name, which is in numerous documents at the Industrial Relations Commission, are not helpful. You may also like to read If Wikipedia already has an article about you. Regards, WWGB (talk) 12:58, 29 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Upon reflection, I will respond further in view of your personal attacks on my talk page. I am not notable, so I get to hide behind the cloak of anonymity. I bear you no malice. In fact, my irrelevant opinion of you is that you are a responsible, principled and caring person. I will overlook your hostile response to the article, although I am surprised by it; I have seen other Australian "celebrities" such as Geoffrey Edelsten and Peter Foster react badly to Wikipedia biographies, but they have a criminal past they prefer to diminish in the eyes of the public. Wikipedia articles on individuals are "unauthorised biographies" so the subject does not get to pick and choose the more favourable issues. Why did I create the article? Simply, I had noted increasing promotion of Underbelly 3 and was surprised that there was no Wikipedia article about you. So I created one, carefully sourcing the content against available independent references. If there are factual errors I will gladly correct them, but blanking standard information such as your middle name and age, standard Wikipedia information, is not a technical correction. Who is the "other person with the same name"? If there is any confusion, I will correct that as well. Of course you are entitled to plunge in and make any changes yourself, but as you may have noted here other editors are likely to react negatively. My aim is to ensure that Wikipedia articles are informative and verifiable. I'm happy to respond to your comments and concerns, but please don't expect a sanitised hagiography.
