Somerset Region

Thanks for the comment on my talk page. Hopefully the links help a little in finding your way around Wikipedia. Given your role and interest you will need to be congnisant of Wikipedia's guidelines around dealing with potential or percieved conflicts of interest. That said, Wikipedia would welcome any improvement of the content - so long as it is reliably sourced, verifiable and written from a neutral point of view.

One good place that you or your organisation could start is by providing some high quality freely licenced photographs that can be used in relevant article on the Region and related topics and show the area in its best light.

I have no specific interest in Somerset Region but I do have an interest in local government in Australia as a whole and keep a watching eye on most LG articles in Qld, NSW and Vic. Good luck with your editing. -- Mattinbgn (talk) 04:00, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
