RMIT

Michelle, firstly I understand and respect your edits regarding the RMIT article. However, I do believe some of the content you removed is valid, even if it's not written in the correct (non-advertorial/unbias) language. As opposed to deleting it completely, perhaps rewording it in an appropriate language may be a better option for all. Also, one thing I don't understand is you reworking of the articles headings. I'm not a seasoned Wikipedian, so I'm curious as to why they were changed, since the edits regarding them weren't explained. Thanks! AshGreen (talk) 02:17, 07 May 2008 (AEST)

Thanks

Hi Michelle. Thanks for your reply and advice. I've edited the RMIT article with appropriate language, and I hope it's in accordance. If not, please advise me so, since I am eager to get it right for future articles. AshGreen (talk) 12:12, 07 May 2008 (AEST)

Bond University Reliable sources

> Please read WP:RS also WP:SPS, referring to your or any blog is unacceptable on Wikipedia. Michellecrisp (talk) 13:27, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I see. But if australians are creating their own wiki nodes and are linking to it, that is then ok, right? User:Drrho (talk)

Hi Michelle, I have responded to your comment here. Cheers, Mattinbgn\talk 00:39, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Costa

You should not have reverted my edit and then given a misleading reason on it. Even if it was Scruby saying something "wrong" it is a reference. But in this case it is a direct quote from a Spike column which was written after discussions with Costa's own spin doctor errr... spokesperson. Have you got any citable source for Costa commuting in a Prius? If so let's have it. Albatross2147 (talk) 05:13, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

The type of car he drives is probably relevant in view of his views on climate change. Albatross2147 (talk) 05:15, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
I know you did not say he drives a Prius. I was being F.A.C.E.T.I.O.U.S.. BTW I checked and cannot see where I have said anyone needs to be civil on my talk page. I usually ignore everyone equally. Albatross2147 (talk) 05:30, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Just reread the MC article. In the early life section it says In 1979, Costa dropped out of politics and began work.... This doesn't work sort of. Have you any knowledge of his bio? Albatross2147 (talk) 01:44, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Eastwood article

I'm well aware of the guidelines - you don't have to remind me. JRG (talk) 06:19, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Dear Michelle, Bondi Beach Babes is a part of Bondi Beach. No offence but as Wikipedia has informed you, you should not have changed the information. You do not live on Bondi Beach, and would no longer know what is there. You have no authority to make these changes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bondibeachbabes (talk • contribs) 23:22, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

thanks

Frenchs Forest page

Can I please ask why you removed the sentence I added to the Frenchs Forest page about the bus service?

You've possibly got the letter of the law on your side in removing an uncited opinion, but why would you bother, when it's one almost universally held by the people who actually live in Frenchs Forest, and is presented as opinion, not fact? Do you personally dispute that it's problematic for the private bus company to have their own stops, which the government buses are not allowed to use? Have you even been to the place, or caught a bus there, or ever spoken to anyone who has? How was that page made better, or more accurate by your action? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mortal Wombat (talk • contribs) 17:52, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

Macquarie Uni

No, I am not connected to the uni. I'm really not sure why you want to include this trashy news in the main page on the university. Michaeljs (talk) 01:57, 26 May 2008 (UTC)


Nicole Kidman

Thanks Michelle; I've filed a request for comment on the talk page and notified the edit warriors that they will be blocked if they revert more. Feel free to add your comments. And no, I don't mind. :) It's useful to have because a lot of new editors make the mistake of putting comments at the top, and it's boring having to move them!! ;) Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 07:37, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Rollback

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. PeterSymonds (talk) 08:05, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Which are much appreciated. :) Keep up the good work! Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 11:17, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Uni of Tasmania

The list adds useful encyclopedic content to the article and provides useful information about the TUU. A rewording may be in order. Unless you can provide specifically quoted examples where this particular list is in breach of Wikipedia policy, rather blanket linking to pages such as WP:NOT, and your own, perhaps inapplicable interpretations of the rules, then the deletion is entirely unwarranted. In the case that the deletion is technically justified, the appropriate action would be a rewording of the content to make use of the information it provides. Try some constructive edits to the section. Noodle snacks (talk) 11:38, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

First and last

I think this whole Kevin07 business last year kind of confused everyone - I had the same problem at Cameron Thompson's article where someone had used his first name throughout. Orderinchaos 06:52, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Re exams: Indeed. Politics exams, no less. *groan* Thanks :) And re naming - yes, no professional publication would use a first name in this context - I tend to regard academic journal articles as something of a style guide. Orderinchaos 08:16, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
