Removal of relevant info by 203.17.171.43

This person persists in removing relevant information from this page... what are we to do? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjspe1 (talk • contribs) 03:03, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ipgp.net says that this IP address belongs to VICTORIAN DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS AND EMPLOYMENT... --Mjspe1 03:06, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How very interesting. The Victorian government is apparently trying to hide mismanagement of the facility by its board. The Age newspaper in Melbourne has been running a series of exposure articles after the director of the AS was dismissed by the (non scientist) board of directors without explanation or, apparently, due process. Both the Victorian State government and the AS board have repeatedly refused to comment, leading to the international group of scientific advisors of the AS to threaten to resign en mass. Indeed, the workforce at the AS are now working to rule (9 to 5, thus scuppering many experiments) and will not repair any faults should they occur. The situation is totally farcical. No wonder the Board and the government keep removing any reference to the fiasco. The AS board apparently know little or nothing about synchrotron radiation, all being business types and appear to have no concept of how to deal with respected academics. The AS board needs to be fired, but it is a political minefield for the Brumby government. The Federal government is apparently considering taking over the facility. BTW I will watch this page and immediately replace this information every time the government tries to cover it up.

3 GeV

Could somebody please explain in the article what "3 GeV" means? Corvus cornix 17:32, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're on an encyclopedia. ;-) I looked it up and instantly got an answer. Therequiembellishere 23:39, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Then you're a better person than I am, obviously since we have no article at 3 GeV. Corvus cornix 23:41, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps if we were to look up GeV? --The Chairman (talk · contribs) 14:35, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Wish I had thought of that. :) Corvus cornix 18:29, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, no worries. --The Chairman (talk · contribs) 07:33, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Management crisis

Am I missing something here ? The edit history doesn't seem to show any edits removing info about the 2009 management crisis. (N.B. editing as IP to show I'm not from the Victorian government) 70.76.76.165 (talk) 17:53, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seems I may have jumped to conclusions. I had just come from reading the latest Age article to see that a branch of the Victorian government had been "removing relevant information" on the AS article. I will remove that assertion and just go with mention of the current management crisis.--Phil Wardle (talk) 22:19, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
