Lead sections
The lead section is supposed to be a concise summary of the article. It is therefore fine to repeat content from the lead in the body text. - Shiftchange (talk) 10:47, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=596011341 your edit] to Forced adoption in Australia may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just [ edit the page] again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?action=edit&preload=User:A930913/BBpreload&editintro=User:A930913/BBeditintro&minor=&title=User_talk:A930913&preloadtitle=BracketBot%20–%20&section=new my operator's talk page].

Forced adoption in Australia
You have made extensive changes to the above article. While at least some of them may be acceptable, you were asked to take your ideas to the article's Talk page, rather than trying to justify them in Edit summaries alone. You didn't do that. You reverted my revert without acknowledgement. There is no evidence you have even looked at the Talk page. That is not going to impress other editors. Wikipedia is a collegial enterprise. We don't work alone ignoring others' comments.

You seem to have good writing skills and could be a valuable asset to Wikipedia, but not if you ignore others. That just raises suspicions that you are motivated by something other than making Wikipedia a great encyclopaedia.

This is still a very poor article, with content driven by the thoughts of people with very strong emotional involvement, rather than a desire to find out and reflect what really happened. It's a "blame" article. It is not well structured and does not reflect what actually happened very well at all. IMHO, the Senate report also has many faults, and it's a mistake to rely and that too strongly.

I won't interfere with your changes at this stage, but I suggest you spend some time on Wikipedia looking and perhaps editing good articles in other areas to see how things should be done. Use Talk pages. Communicate with others. (And NOT just through Edit summaries.!). HiLo48 (talk) 17:12, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

White Stolen Generations
You recently removed the subtitle from "Forced Adoption in Australia" on the basis that it offends Aboriginals. Do not do so unless you have a legitimate excuse, the original title of this article was in fact the "White Stolen Generations" and was only changed to Forced Adoption in Australia on the basis that a subtitle recognizing its alternative name be present. You removed that, and without authorisation from the other editors. I advise you strongly to not remove it again.--101.165.174.13 (talk) 05:02, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
