Amendment to Missy Higgins article
The amendment made to the Missy Higgins article did not remove material without good reason. The material is more appropriate at the end of the article where it is already duplicated. It also wrongly describes "Steer" as the title track of the album. The sentence about release dates does not make grammatical sense. I'll leave it if it makes you happy to have such badly written material in the article, others may not be so generous Keithmall 11:26, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. I am genuinely sorry if the tone of my comments seemed uncivilised but your own comments ie "please do not remove material without good reason" were also a bit abrasive considering we now agree that my amendments were made for a reason. Clearly we are are both interested in the quality of the article and of Wikipedia in general so maybe we should shake hands from (presumably)several thousand miles apart and work for the common good. I think the compromise amendments that have been made are absolutely fine. He is quite correct that this is an encyclopedia not a fan information site. I think the "headline" reference to a 2nd album (which I guess we are both looking forward to hearing), with fuller details in their chronological place is a correct approach to the structure of the article. We have both apologised for our comments and I am pleased this has come to a grown up conclusion. Keithmall 17:28, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Canterbury and Monomeath Avenue
When I reverted back, it wasn't a straight revert, as a check of the diff will show (March to my last edit) - I tried to incorporate as much as possible of what you had added, including the history of Monomeath Avenue and the list format of residents, which I preferred to the earlier paragraph style. I even included some of the descriptive language.

However, some of the reversions are a tad odd - firstly I checked the domain.com.au listing today, hence why I updated the date. Secondly I unlinked the schools as there is a general consensus on Wikipedia as to what constitutes notability in order that a school can have an article. Thirdly, re "village charm", I'd point you to some comments I made elsewhere about such terms in articles (to avoid repeating myself here) - also see weasel words. Same applies to "coveted" - who covets? where can this be verified? Finally, "most notable residential address", "an Australian icon", "prestigious street", "retains its full glory" - again, can't be verified and is POV (these would look quite comfortable in a tourist brochure, but not in an encyclopaedia). The stuff about Anthony Podesta's mansion is basically unverifiable.

This is what I was referring to in my initial comments - certainly nothing against the article being added to in an encyclopaedic way and many of your contribs have been useful in improving/upgrading the article. Orderinchaos 12:59, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Aside re pics
Pretty impressed with the photography :) I'd strongly recommend you upload them (preferably under the same names as what you have here) to Wikipedia Commons at http://commons.wikipedia.org - if you set up an account there, you can upload them the same way you do here. If you do that, make sure you put in the information box after the }}. Main reason for this is if the article gets translated into another language then they can use the pics as well. Orderinchaos 13:13, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the friendly attitude you showed. I'm sorry I didn't analyze the article enough and made a fast-minded decision to revert it as I thought as my section ==Monomeath Avenue== was taken out, but was merely reorganized and edited. Only one little thing I want to add is a comment adding that Monommeath is a notable street in the Melbournian community (many tourists buses go down it and it's name is synonymous with wealth, prestige etc.)I give you permission to upload my fabulous pictures onto commons and re-link to them from Canterbury's page and delete the ones on wiki. Tom 03:04, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * No worries. BTW the tourist buses bit could definitely be included as it's verifiable - case of, you can say the what without explaining the why, and leave readers to deduce that tourist buses would only visit it because it's a notable street (as further illustrated by the list of residents further down the page).

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Tony Jones.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Tony Jones.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 20:31, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

News
I am not a fan of the infobox. It clutters up the page unnecessarily, when the info is already mentioned in the article. Alltrainzfan (talk) 10:00, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Seven news page
You're cluttering the page with useless information which is already mentioned further in the article. Otherwise the article may as well be shortened to become a quick view, then to another page for any user.TrainingRule (talk) 10:05, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

An exciting opportunity to get involved!
As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. -  Trevor  MacInnis   contribs  05:50, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Nomination of LeisureJet for deletion
A discussion has begun about whether the article LeisureJet, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/LeisureJet until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.

Replaceable fair use File:Tony Jones.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Tony Jones.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. The-Pope (talk) 17:07, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Cancellation of The FBI Files
I do not believe this is important here, and I agree with your change, but, in general, saying a program was "cancelled after its final episode" can mean something: specifically the writers didn't know the show was ending so story arcs are not completed, loose ends are not tied up, etc. Mark Hurd (talk) 07:51, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Mark. I understand your point but to a reasonable reader I'm sure "cancelled after its final episode" would sound silly as by being cancelled a show must have a 'final episode' - rather than distinguishing it from being cancelled after an episode which wasn't intended to be final (but technically would still become it, wouldn't it?). I believe to be clear and proper these two points should be kept more separate. Tom W (talk) 18:06, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

When duplicating references
Hello, Tomwood0. I saw your addition to the Bisexuality article and your tweak soon after it, and I decided to let you know why I tweaked the duplication of the reference you included just in case you don't check back and see my edit summary in the edit history. When duplicating references, you don't have to duplicate the entire reference; this is explained at NAMEDREFS.

Anyway, thanks for the addition and take care. Flyer22 (talk) 21:54, 6 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for pursuing this Flyer22, as it actually made me realize I'd accidentally put the wrong reference there! All fixed now :) Tom W (talk) 13:14, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
 * LOL, you're welcome. And thank you again. Flyer22 (talk) 20:30, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
 * And I kind of wondered what was meant by "A further study," but I figured that the source you included covers it. But, like you stated, now I know. Flyer22 (talk) 20:34, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 18
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Samsung Galaxy S II, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page NFC (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
