Change to Western Australia article

Hi, you made a change to the Westen Australia article, regarding fertility of the soils. Unfortunately the way the article now reads it sounds like all of the soil is infertile. This is clearly not true. Can you maybe reword, i.e. due to the infertility of parts of the West Australia soil (e.g. place a, place b, place c) (reference here)...?

Someone has changed it so it currently says "The infertility of most of the soils", which is true and clear enough I think. I am not an expert on agriculture in WA I'm afraid as I only lived there for a year and I'm allergic to livestock in any case. I'm a city boy.Nathan Mercer 01:08, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Repentence would have been more impressive. Nathan Mercer 23:08, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh no! Since I'm not as smart as I think I am, pray tell, what should I repent for? For nominating a category for deletion that I believe should be deleted? I guess that is awfully sinful. I'll go do some hail marys. I hope that satisfys you, and god. Desertsky85451 23:34, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No for making comments that patronised the hundreds of users who have contributed to a class of categories you inferred to be so idiotic they couldn't exist when you hadn't checked whether they did actually exist. Anyway, last time I looked you were in a minority of one. Nathan Mercer 21:53, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Too chicken to say that on my talk page, eh? Being a minority of one I can take, after all, I'm an ass. I guess it hurts you greatly to know that I'm allowed to have my own opinions regarding categories that lump together people almost randomly, but thats the way the cookie crumbles. Again, you seriously need to learn what sarcasm is. Desertsky85451 02:34, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
