User talk:AussieLegend

Greetings!
My name is Ryan, and it's my pleasure to welcome you, AussieLegend, to Wikipedia! First of all, I'd like to thank you for joining the project, and contributing to articles and discussion. I hope you can continue to take part in Wikipedia, because we need more valuable editors like yourself.

If you are new and need some assistance, here are some great links to check out:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia are the primary goals and most important rules that we follow.
• These help pages are important if you'd like to learn more about specific processes.
• The tutorial is a hands-on approach to learning all about editing.
  • For a "crash course" in editing, head on over to Redwolf24's Bootcamp!
• Writing a great article is a noble accomplishment. An article you start might end up on the Main Page!
• The Manual of style is an in-depth group of pages that will teach you how to make articles look their very best.

I hope you enjoy editing here, and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, find out where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Before I go, here's one more tip. When you post on talk pages, be sure to sign your name and the date by typing four tildes: ~~~~. That automatically generates your username and the date. Again, welcome, and happy editing!  --Merovingian 12:14, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

On vandalism

Please read Wikipedia:Vandalism for the official definition of what is and isn't vandalism. Non-neutral point of view edits made in good faith is not considered vandalism. --  Netsnipe  ►  06:57, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

I do understand that. The "vandalism" that I was referring to was Macktheknifeau constantly reverting whatever edits were made on the Exetel page by other editors back to his version without justifying the reversions. This is, IMO, the same as constantly blanking a page which is considered "childish vandalism". --AussieLegend 07:53, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Exetel Mediation Response

I've taken a look at the mediation cases submitted by both you and User:Macktheknifeau. I've posted an initial response to the situation on the Exetel talk page. It would be appreciated if you would take part in the discussion that I hope will follow so that we can achieve consensus on how the article should look. Thanks, Cheers.

Whirlpool moderators

Siice two of you agreed with my queying of the non-notable trivia about moderators there, I was bold and removed it. Keep in mind that the entry has its fans (go through its history) and I strongly suspect that my changes will be reverted, quite possibly by an administrator. Peter1968 11:07, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Documents and oral history

This is of course a difficult area to cite. But the National enquiry - report would probably bring some support to a careful edit. Also related to this subject is this project. Is this what you meant. Regards Fred 10:01, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

The "Matthew & Will" Follies!

Hey! Just saw your comment on that Anon's "talk page". While I don't agree at all with his methods, his warning message has some validity to it. Apparently complaining about either of these two children really hits some nerves amongst the admins. Not really all that sure why, but quite a few Wikians are starting to notice. I've even seen these two in particular discussed on blogs outside of Wikipedia, and in non-too flattering terms. Geoffrey Mitchell 23:15, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
