Please stop making irrelevant and/or illiterate edits to Australian articles. Adam 05:38, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
I'm sorry if you find this patronising, but I don't know any other way to tell you that if you want to make a useful contribution to Wikipedia, you need to stop making silly and pointless edits which are usually wrong, and concentrate on something you know about. You have already been blocked once for vexatious editing, and you will be again if you keep this up. Adam 06:50, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
Eric, I sense you're upset. I suggest you back off the article for a while (at least a day), and then maybe make suggestions vis-à-vis your concerns on the talk-page. And please don't take my comments there as resolute support. Adam has explained the reasons for the wording, and I accept his position. “Tired of” is perfectly acceptable, and not something one should get worked-up about. Sincerely, -- Cyberjunkie | Talk 07:01, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
You are in violation of the three revert rule on William McMahon. Your editing has been suspended for 24 hours. In future please settle disputes on the talk page rather than in the article space. Also please avoid personal attacks-- nixie 08:27, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
Wikipedia naming convention is not to use titles (Sir, Lord, Father) in article titles, that's why I moved it. It still leaves the Father title name as a redirect. I've never seen the name O'hea in the US, at first I thought it was a misspelling of O'Shea, but I would imagine it would be pronounced like hay. Zoe 08:26, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

The introduction refers to actions by groups on both sides; singling out just one group is POV, and needless detail in a summary article. As well, Wikipedia prefers the term "militant" as more neutral than "terrorist". I might add that following individuals with whom you are disgareeing (such as User:Adam Carr) around and editing articles after he has edited them is often seen as "wikistalking".

Hi Eric,
you did a good job finding the source for Fr O'Hea's birth/death dates and so on.
I removed the building dates when I did the copyedit because there were four churches, but only three dates. I wasn't sure what to do with them, so I removed them altogether. I agree that the dates add to the article. I'm unclear on what the different names refer to (I gather Woodstock and Epping are two different churches, and St Ambrose is in Brunswick?) Would it be possible for you to list, either on your talk page, mine, or the Fr O'Hea talk page, exactly how we should refer to the churches, and what their construction dates are? e.g.:
And so on? --

Arid is a perfectly neutral term which means "receiving little or no rain." There is nothing POV about describing inland Australia as arid. "Remote" on the other hand is a POV term. If Oodandatta is remote from Sydney, then Sydney is remote from Oodnadatta. Yet you have left "remote" while "deleting" arid. [1] Adam 06:12, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Kindly do not just dump stuff you have copied from a library catalogue into articles. I am sick of fixing your lazy and illiterate editing. Adam 05:09, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
User:Adam Carr is admonished to avoid discourtesy and personal attacks. How many times has Adam been told to be polite?
The map is a good idea, thanks for creating it, but there are two problems: the titles for the streets from King - Swanston are all one block too far west, knocking off Spencer St and leaving a gap where Swanston St is; and everything from Lonsdale - La Trobe Sts is missing. It also might be handy to add titles for the Little Streets, and adding Market St in, from Collins to Flinders, between William and Queen. Otherwise, good job. TPK 06:16, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for editing page to wiki std. much to do Eric A. Warbuton 08:09, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
You are perfectly welcome not to fix any of my editing. It is obvious that you are systematically tracking all my edits. Wikistalking will get you banned. Adam 06:36, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
I know you're upset with Adam. However, following him around and altering his edits – especially those edits that don't need altering – is a real good way to get blocked. I'd rather you didn't get blocked; you're adding good information to Australian articles, and that's always needed. Of course, that's just me; if you want to be blocked, keep on harassing Adam. We have hundreds of admins, several of whom have experienced "wikistalking" themselves and have formed a disliking for the practice.
By the way, if you'd like any help on working within Wikipedia's style guidelines, give me a yell. -- fuddlemark ( fuddle me!) 14:14, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
Just an opinion on style. Usually films are conventionally denoted thus: 'Heatwave(1982)' (ie used in IMDB)and generally across wikipedia. But you've chosen '1982 film Heatwave'- which reads more easily, but is not stylistically conventional. I prefer the former. But its your baby, as it were, so I'll leave it there. Eric A. Warbuton 04:12, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Racosperma has been ratified, but the individual species names do not change from Acacia until a list is published. I don't think that has happened yet, but I might be wrong. I suppose you're aware that a new type species has been chosen so that the vast majority of commercially important species can remain in Acacia; So don't go by Pedley. Snottygobble | Talk 06:18, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
Yes, this is so. However will await verdict at Vienna conference. Eric A. Warbuton 05:06, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Where did you get the text of the treaty from? As it is a full text document, it belongs on Wikisource, but when I went to put it there, I realised I couldn't find a source for it online. Ambi 03:53, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
Eric, please keep discussion and meta-references out of the article space. There's a discussion on the talk page if you want to contribute. Furthermore, the text has not been "stolen", your edit is still stored in the article's page history, which you can view here: [2]. -- bainer ( talk) 05:45, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
For the umpteenth time, I'm not trying to censor you. As Thebainer said on the article talk page, source text does not go on Wikipedia; it's a standing policy, which is why we created Wikisource; I don't really know what you expect to discuss. Having copies of all the versions of the treaty would be really, really useful over there - which is where they belong. I don't understand why you take such offence at adding them over there. Ambi 08:52, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
Hey, I know-you told me so many times. Funny I cant find it at Wikisource? So where is it? Return the text where I initially put it. How come you get to act unilaterally? I understand that now I have your permission to remove any text of yours at any time without prior negotitation. OK? Eric A. Warbuton 04:37, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
The text of the treaty (according to your transcription) is now at Wikisource, at the page wikisource:Batman's Treaty, as per Wikipedia policies and guidelines.
As to the matter of the personal dispute, you said on my talk page that: "I was not asked for my opinion, negotiated with or informed in ANY way." Well, Eric, it is quite common on Wikipedia for people to make edits without talking to other editors, indeed it is encouraged. Ambi's edits were consistent with policy, and she did leave a summary in the edit history. Wikipedians are also encouraged to assume good faith, which I do not believe you did. You could have asked her nicely to explain her edits, instead you attacked her and called her a "theif", despite the fact that the text was, and is, freely available in the edit history (If you don't know how to use an edit history, see this page: meta:Help:Page history). Assuming bad faith only leads to others assuming bad faith towards you.
In the future, please be civil, and disputes like this will be completely avoided. -- bainer ( talk) 06:30, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for your very flattering remarks about Silvandale tearooms. They make what i di there all the more worthwhile. Can you contact me please so I can find out who you are and say "thank you" personally. Frances R 14:15, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages. The notices and comments are needed to establish community consensus about the status of an article, and removing them is considered vandalism. If you oppose the deletion of an article, you may comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. -- Dalbury( Talk) 03:49, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
