Some of the biggest achievements of John Brumby and his predecessor Steve Bracks would have to be a huge waste of public funds. Some of the "success" stories would have to be the woeful state of Victoria's traffic network. Public Transport network has suffered delays and unbelievably high expenses just to implement the new ticketing system, so called Myki.
[1]
Some of the other achievements of John Brumby and former Premier Bracks would have to be the fact that around 10% of total number of Victorian drivers have lost their licences due to huge pressure from the Victorian government to issue speeding fines for even the minor speed limit transgressions. This means that Victoria Police and hundreds of hidden revenue raising cameras issue speeding tickets for speeding below the +10% ADR defined speedometer accuracy limits. This greedy money grab by the Brumby state government ensures that the Victorian State Government expects the speeding ticket revenue to amount to a massive AUD$1500 million over the next 2 years.

John Brumby and his Ministers have also implemented a so called tough new so called "anti-hoon" laws.

OK, you tell me orderinchaos what is so badly referenced in here. These are all the issues we know about. Nothing wrong with stating the publicly known facts is there, especially when John Brumby's biography on the wiki is all "roses and smiles" and not so convenient truths are swept under the carpet. You smell to me like a snitch and a state employee mate, you smell pretty bad.

OK, ok, maybe it needs work, but it also needs to be stated. My point still stands that a complete bio cannot be all positive. You need to list persons failures. This bio does sound like a political dream bio, which we all know it is not.

Thank you for your comments in my RFB. Since it was only at 64%, it was a shoo-in to be unsuccessful, so I withdrew. I didn't want it to run until its scheduled close time because my intent in standing for RFB was to help the bureaucrats with their workload, not give them one more RfX to close. Through the course of my RFB, I received some very valuable feedback, some of it was contradictary, but other points were well agreed upon. I have ceased my admin coaching for now to give me time to revamp my method. I don't want to give up coaching completely, but I'm going to find a different angle from which to approach it. As for my RFA Standards, I am going to do some deep intraspection. I wrote those standards six months ago and I will slowly retool them. This will take some time for me to really dig down and express what I want in an admin candidate. If, after some serious time of deep thought, I don't find anything to change in them, I'll leave them the way they are. I'm not going to change them just because of some community disagreement as to what they should be. Will I stand for RFB again in the future? I don't know. Perhaps some time down the road, when my tenure as an administrator is greater than one year, if there is a pressing need for more active bureaucrats, maybe. If there no pressing need, then maybe not. Useight ( talk) 03:01, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Regardless of the CON issues, and BLP, for that matter, (which incidentally, I agree is sufficient reason to remove this image) this image has been uploaded as a fair use image which requires a rationale for for each page it is on and it can only be used under condition: "to provide critical commentary on the film, event, etc. in question or of the poster itself, not solely for illustration". The image is being used for decorative and illustration purposes with the uploader stating it is a good likeness of him and "It adds a bit of colour and it demonstrates that Hockey was effective enough in his role to be the subject of this sort of subversion". The image isn't being discussed in the article at all and there's not critical commentary on it so I think it violates criterion 8 - significance - "Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic." - how does using the image on this page significantly increase readers' understanding of the image or the event, i.e. the election ? Also, there's no fair use rationale for its use on any page, and the uploader admits it is being used for "colour" which I think are all violations of the fair use policy. The WP:NFCC policy states the image should be removed from all pages where it is included without a fair use rationale. This image has no fair use rationale for any page and should therefore be removed from each page it is on regardless of any other issues like CON and BLP. So whether the page is unprotected or not I think the image needs to be removed to comply with the licensing and our fair use policy. I believe it should stay off this bio for BLP reasons but that's another issue. :) Sarah 06:01, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
I've commented the image out for now per NFCC and I think it should totally removed under BLP but I was reluctant to do so due to the protection and the ongoing discussion. Consensus seems to be heading in the direction of removing it, so hopefully we'll be able to sort it out and get the page unprotected soon. Cheers, Sarah 11:33, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello,
I am a master student at the Institute of Technology Management, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan. Currently I am wrapping up my master thesis titled “Can Wikipedia be used for knowledge service?” In order to validate the knowledge evolution maps of identified users in Wikipedia, I need your help. I have generated a knowledge evolution map to denote your knowledge activities in Wikipedia according to your inputs including the creation and modification of contents in Wikipedia, and I need you to validate whether the generated knowledge evolution map matches the knowledge that you perceive you own it. Could you please do me a favor?
The deadline of my thesis defense is set by the end of June, 2008. There is no much time left for me to wrap up the thesis. If you can help me, please reply this message. I will send you the URL link of the first part once I receive your response. The completion of my thesis heavily relies much on your generous help.

In the questionnaire, you check ‘free’ for the compensation of answering some questions. Now there are some scenarios:

Some of the biggest achievements of John Brumby and his predecessor Steve Bracks would have to be a huge waste of public funds. Some of the "success" stories would have to be the woeful state of Victoria's traffic network. Public Transport network has suffered delays and unbelievably high expenses just to implement the new ticketing system, so called Myki.
[1]
Some of the other achievements of John Brumby and former Premier Bracks would have to be the fact that around 10% of total number of Victorian drivers have lost their licences due to huge pressure from the Victorian government to issue speeding fines for even the minor speed limit transgressions. This means that Victoria Police and hundreds of hidden revenue raising cameras issue speeding tickets for speeding below the +10% ADR defined speedometer accuracy limits. This greedy money grab by the Brumby state government ensures that the Victorian State Government expects the speeding ticket revenue to amount to a massive AUD$1500 million over the next 2 years.

Hello,
I am a master student at the Institute of Technology Management, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan. Currently I am wrapping up my master thesis titled “Can Wikipedia be used for knowledge service?” In order to validate the knowledge evolution maps of identified users in Wikipedia, I need your help. I have generated a knowledge evolution map to denote your knowledge activities in Wikipedia according to your inputs including the creation and modification of contents in Wikipedia, and I need you to validate whether the generated knowledge evolution map matches the knowledge that you perceive you own it. Could you please do me a favor?
The deadline of my thesis defense is set by the end of June, 2008. There is no much time left for me to wrap up the thesis. If you can help me, please reply this message. I will send you the URL link of the first part once I receive your response. The completion of my thesis heavily relies much on your generous help.
Sincerely
