February 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Visa requirements for Australian citizens has been reverted.
Your edit here to Visa requirements for Australian citizens was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://wikitravel.org/en/Azerbaijan) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 17:11, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Eddie Mabo picture on Australians article.

Please do not add this back in again. The image is not free and can only be used in limited cases under fair use provisions. Usage on the Australians article does not qualify for that and the picture must therefore be removed from it. noq (talk) 13:16, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nominating categories for deletion

When you nominate categories for deletion, please follow the procedures at WP:CFD. Just putting the tags on the articles is not enough. I have removed the tags, seeing that you never started a discussion or linked them from an existing one. Feel free to restore the tags and create a discussion if you still want them deleted. — Train2104 (talk • contribs) 20:18, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Flag of Australia

Regarding these edits, references are not the problem. Per Wikipedia:Image use policy, images galleries are discouraged and, as Flag of Australia is a featured article, inclusion of an image gallery is inappropriate. Positioning of the image before the {{main}} link is not appropriate in any article and while the Ausflag image has a detailed caption explaining its relevance, the Eureka flag that you replaced it with merely identifies it as the Eureka flag. Nor is it discussed in the flag debate section, while Ausflag clearly is. The Eureka flag is mentioned earlier in the article but it really doesn't belong in the flag debate section. If you disagree, please feel free to discuss it on the article's talk page, per WP:BRD. --AussieLegend (✉) 09:48, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Nomination of Judaism in Australia for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Judaism in Australia is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
