Archives 2006: Mar-Dec 2007: Jan (1-16 17-31) 2007: Feb · Mar · Apr · May · Jun · Jul · Aug · Assignment central, and I'm not getting them done. - A.--> Ron Davies Just watch that there were two politicians of that name around the same era. One, a federal MHR from Tassie, and the other from WA. —Moondyne 07:05, 30 August 2007 (UTC) Ron Davies (Western Australian politician) works for me. —Moondyne 06:27, 3 September 2007 (UTC) Re: Need an Opinion/ANI sigh*....which edit summary are you talking about so I know what to respond to. - NeutralHomer T:C 05:37, 3 September 2007 (UTC) That one....that was written immediately after recieving that lovely message, so I was angry. Is that an excuse for it, no...could have it been written differently, of course. Should have it been written at all, no. I could have deleted it without an edit summary, but I didn't. That shows you that when him and I come anywhere near each other, it isn't good. Again, not an excuse, just the way it sadly is. - NeutralHomer T:C 06:01, 3 September 2007 (UTC) Help on suspected SPA Hi OIC - as a trusted admin, I was wondering whether you could check something out for me. I'm a bit suspicious of the user Endarrt. He's appeared in the last few days, and besides creating a userpage, his first edits were to delete swathes of railway information from Sydney railway station pages, including one which was a featured article and over which we've had a great amount of discussion in order to pass it for FA class. I gave him a level 2 warning for vandalism for it. Today he's nominated a whole lot of trackplans for deletion, some of which are worth keeping. His only justification is that everything is "unencyclopedic" and "directory-like". There is no discussion whatsoever, just outright deletion for everything. I'm a bit suspicious as to whether this user is a legitimately new user, or a SPA or sockpuppet used for deletion of material; but I find it highly suspicious that a completely new user would go straight for deletion of Sydney train material without discussion - it seems like an old user who's editing under a new username for the purposes of deletion of material. I'm not sure how I investigate this sort of thing, but I would appreciate some advice first on what to do. Thanks. JRG 02:04, 4 September 2007 (UTC) Hi OIC, I'm not suggesting this is who it is, but you may like to check out Joestella and Endarrt and do a request for checkuser - the former user has already been found out for engaging in sockpuppetry (see User:ChampagneComedy)- given the former's earlier propensity to delete rail information which he thought was not worthy of keeping on Wikipedia and claim to WP:CIVIL if anyone would dare criticise his work, and given the latter's propensity in the past few days to do both of these... you may be able to put 1 and 1 together...

I have referenced the paragraph but the main issue is that the major contributors to the article think that the paragraph I have proposed gives the subject undue weight. This is the paragraph I have proposed: In March 1991, The Advertiser reported student claims of sexual harassment and initiations at the college. It was claimed that male students forced female students to perform domestic tasks and that senior students initiated first year students by urinating and spitting on them. The then acting master of the college, Professor David Nicholas refuted the claims. The regular editors want to use this paragraph: In March 1991, The Advertiser reported student claims of sexual harassment and initiations at the college. The then acting master of the college, Professor David Nicholas refuted the claims. I was wondering what your thoughts are on the issue? Cheers. Username nought 09:13, 4 September 2007 (UTC) I'll look at it tomorrow evening Perth time. Orderinchaos 15:09, 4 September 2007 (UTC) User warranting warnings Lancelot222 has exceeded my realms of power regarding his contributions to Sound masking. He is continuously vandalising the page, ignoring my warnings. I will give him a third warning for another instance of vandalism. Auroranorth 12:18, 4 September 2007 (UTC) Kath and Kim "Work Choices has been blamed for ruining Christmas, church on Sundays, Father's Day, marriage, Anzac Day and the tourism industry among other things," Joe Hockey said. "It seems oddly fitting that a fictional character's job should join the list. "I think most viewers are smart enough to enjoy the show for what it is, and understand the difference between fact and fiction. Sunday night's episode of Kath and Kim[1] was about as realistic as the union ads, but much more funny." "It seems I am not the only woman with a funny voice from the suburbs of Melbourne talking about the hurt Work Choices is causing Australian working families," the Opposition's industrial relations spokeswoman said.[2] Whoa, Gillard made a funny! Timeshift 14:16, 4 September 2007 (UTC) THJ Thanks for that restoration, I have identified it as vandalism/nonsense with a little research. I will add it to my BJAODN. Thanks, Auroranorth 11:43, 5 September 2007 (UTC) By the way, a Wikipedia Signpost spamlist edit may be made by me soon! Auroranorth 11:43, 5 September 2007 (UTC) Thanks for message Thanks for your message, OIC. I've taken it all in and will keep it in mind. Cheers, Lester2 01:56, 6 September 2007 (UTC) Imperial Triple Crown Jewels It gives me (Durova) great pleasure to bestow the Imperial Triple Crown Jewels upon Orderinchaos for outstanding improvements to Wikipedia.
