If people go straight to the State of Origin section they won't see that he previously played for Hawthorn, they also may not read it, or glance over it. If so they won't see the significance of him being selected in just his 2nd year. I think this a better option.[[User:SportsEditor518|SportsEditor518]] ([[User talk:SportsEditor518|talk]]) 00:07, 1 March 2016 (UTC) With respect, I think is better option. In the source it mentions he also played at Hawthorn, if we write that in the section it won't be concise enough. We're saying the same thing, just Paraphrasing it. The purpose of an Ecyclopedia is to be as informative as possible.[[User:SportsEditor518|SportsEditor518]] ([[User talk:SportsEditor518|talk]]) 00:16, 1 March 2016 (UTC) Ok, we'll leave it as it is.[[User:SportsEditor518|SportsEditor518]] ([[User talk:SportsEditor518|talk]]) 00:22, 1 March 2016 (UTC) ==Billy Brownless and Victoria Australian rules football team== Hi how are you going, I worked with you recently on Gary Ablett's page, in the State of Origin section. I'm wonding if you could give me a hand. I've recently rewrote on the Victorian Australian rules football team page, and the Billy Brownless page creating a State of Origin section. I'm having trouble with another Editor, who I believe is Vandalising. The Editor keeps removing a line, which has been sourced, which states interstate football is the highest level in the game. I have explained to him by definition because only the best players were selected in the teams for the concept, it is by definition the highest level in the game. I have provided two references, one in an AFL Record, which states it is the highest level in the game, and he keeps removing the line. The other article the Victorian Australian rules football team, there is a section called "Notable State of Origin games". Which describes some of the most notable State of Origin games in history. He's rewritten on the section and keeps Re-Adding a spelling mistake, which I've pointed out to him. And other parts he's rewritten includes changing a word throughout the section called "kicks". I've used it to describe how many goals players kick in the games. It's proper terminology, which he claims it isn't, and it's proper terminology in the sport. When people are usually talking about Football games, they'll say X kicks X amount of goals in the game. And if you read the sentences describing the games, which he's changed, they don't sound right, they're poorly written. These articles really need attention. I'm not going to revert these changes, I want to resolve it the proper way through discussion first, which I've already engaged in, but doesn't seem to be making any progress. The Editor in question is called Afterwriting, there is a disscussion on his talk page. So if you would like to help it would be much appreciated.

His father, L Scott Pendlebury, seems to deserve an article but I'm very weak on Australian artist's biographies. He appears to have been an entrant for national art prizes including finalist for the [[ Archibald Prize]], winning the [[Wynne Prize]] (four times?) and the Dunlop Art Contest.

The problem is the content organization is fundamentally non-neutral and an RfC on the article said the organization for [[Sport in Australia]] as it stands without those sections was acceptable. The sections for [[Popular sports in Australia]] tend to end up with lots of fanboyism promoting particular sports. (The historical version of Sport in Australia had the AFL section and the NRL section both saying there were the most popular code in the country. The current version forces a more fact based approach so this popularity argument could not be used.) As it kept getting put back in despite all these issues, I just content forked as the easiest solution to this problem. The information should not be Sport in Australia. --[[User:LauraHale|LauraHale]] ([[User talk:LauraHale|talk]]) 08:42, 16 October 2013 (UTC) : I'm not sure what to do with that problem. Popular sports is so completely subjective. I would have a hard time rating any sport other than swimming as a popular individual sport. But golf, tennis and motor racing are some of the big individual "money" sports despite low participation rates. Walking and yoga are listed as some of the top sporting activities in the country, but they almost certainly wouldn't go in the article despite that measure of popularity. The original article before the reformat had a section on I believe Underwater hockey. No way should underwater hockey be given equal weight to Australian rule football. Just annoying problematic, and most "Sport in COUNTRY" type articles should be rewritten to not include specific sections on sport. Beyond the NPOV weighting issues, they pretend that sports exist in complete isolation from each other when they do not. --[[User:LauraHale|LauraHale]] ([[User talk:LauraHale|talk]]) 10:06, 16 October 2013 (UTC) ::Um!

Whether the current montage "looks better" is subjective... if you think that cloudy, dull and low resolution images look better then fine. But your rigidity - this constant opposing of any type of change regarding images, is beyond frustrating. You ruin the editing experience for those who have innovative ideas and so on. As for notable buildings, what isn't notable about St Peters Anglican Church (one of the oldest churches in the town), or the Bridge Hotel (an iconic red brick structure)...or how about Craig's Hotel, perhaps one of the most distinctive Grand Hotel buildings in the Victoria... they aren't notable?

The purpose of Wikipedia, or the illustration side of it, is not to remain in stasis but to evolve. That montage is boring, it's been there for more than two years. What about the remodelled montage doesn't contain significant buildings? Everyone of the photos contains a significant structure and that's why I carefully selected them. I said to myself, "right, I'm going to select ''only'' images of buildings that are significant to Melbourne and its history and if HappyWaldo rejects the edits, then he's looking for reasons beyond what he says to dislike it." So your objection really clarifies that you have personal problems with any type of change relating to that info box montage and I do not understand why. I've never had problems doing the [[Brisbane]] montage, people there have accepted my changes but your odd and seemingly relentless rigidity makes Wikipedia an uncomfortable place. This is not an attack nor is it an insult, but I really do dislike the fact that you oppose everything I do. It's quite unfair.

"Gothic" is one of the adjectives that critics have always used to describe Cave's music. There are [[WP:RELIABLE SOURCE]]s that support this information. If this information was edited out once again, an administrator would be contacted. 2) All the gothic artists dislike this label and it is not relevant to mention this in the body of an article. Had a style section existed in the bottom of the article, this might be added. You can use [[The Cure]]'s article as a model. 2) [[WP:ORIGINAL RESEARCH]] is also a rule to follow. Nick Cave has never stated thaat he "detested" or hated or resented the gothic genre. He stated in 1982 that he "rejected the honory title of forefathers" to the goth scene. That what Smin magazine related in 1989. However, Cave helped spawn the goth scene as it was related many times.

Most of the photo's have been there for some time but in you latest slew of edits you have decidied to arbitrarily remove them with no justification. I also see that you have a history of this type of behaviour. I have simply put them back, and put them in a spot more relatable. For instance, the photos of amour, in the armour section. It's good for readers to be able to see actual photos of the armour, as no amount of text will ever be able to properly describe them. Also, relating to the photo of the person in armour, this was added some time ago for a reason. The reason being is that photo has been used by the popular media in the past, but they would say that it was Ned Kelly himself. This is obviously incorrect, and so it's good for Wikipedia to give the real situation. You are unaware of the history, and delete the images with no justification. I have also added photos of historical areas of interest as they appear today so that others who are interested in Kelly may seek to find them for themselves. Now I know that you are not a fan of Trove, with your edit comment 'why is the ''Burra Record'', an SA newspaper, singled out as a publisher of excerpts of Kelly's letter when numerous VIC and NSW papers got there first? this is the problem with using Trove', but I did not single out the Burra Record, someone else added the 'according to the 'Burra Record'' comment. (But I respected the changes) You then replaced that with just 'press', but did not provide any other citations. There was no reason to remove that section of test, and was in place because another editor found the original text confusing. By just deleting text with no justification, you are ruining the history. Just show some respect, and leave the images in place. I may not agree with the images that you have added, especially since you have not provided any in text attribution, but I respect the changes you have made and would not engage in an edit war with you just because of my own subjective opinion.

I did so because I thought that some people would find the statement hard to believe, though it is factual. I felt that having as many references a possible would be best in that situation, but you are right that there were definitely too many--in retrospect I can see that you have a good point. However, there is now only one reference left, and that may not be enough: it may leave the statement vulnerable to those who are doubtful of its accuracy--sometimes it is necessary to show corroborating references to back up a true statement that people may have trouble with. Just because we cite one single writer who said a certain thing, doesn't necessarily make his/her statement true--it can be seen by some as merely an opinion. So, to establish factuality, other references sometimes need to be invoked. As you are aware, the topic of punk rock tends to be contentious (look at all of the edit wars at that site). So, this is the kind of statement needs corroboration in order to be accepted by readers as factual. I should, therefore, be able to reinstate, maybe, ''two'' or ''three'' of the other references that had been there, without going into overkill. That would be a fair request. I have often seen three or four references used in other articles, that were approved by master editors. Three or four would not be overkill, but necessary corroboration (and fair). I would be sure to avoid using references that appear later in the etymology section, to avoid redundancy.

So you've contradicted yourself by originally saying the club purported to be the oldest football club, then go onto saying that they are in fact the oldest football club. * The wording of 'The club's origins can be traced to an 1858 letter in which [[Tom Wills]], captain of the [[Victoria cricket team]], calls for the formation of a "foot-ball club" with a "code of laws"' and 'An informal Melbourne team played that winter and was officially established in May 1859 when Wills and three other members codified [[Laws of Australian rules football#Melbourne Rules of 1859|"The Rules of the Melbourne Football Club"]]' suggests the codes were created twice and is worded as a reiteration, it's just been reworded to provide clarification. * The club was not established in 1859, it was established in 1858 (see the MFC talk page), so by saying the team was established after the informal team played gives the impression that was when the club was established, so formed is better wording. * Competition is spelt incorrectly.

So for all these acts, one has to mention it in the lead as this is what is supported by many reliable sources. :: So, concerning the sentence about TBP, the gothic adjective has to appear somewhere next to the post punk genre because they were also inspirational in the creation of the gothic rock genre that came a few years after their beginning.

We have both previously agreed that Melb FC was established in 1858, and there is a court case ruling in favour of the club being established in 1858, not 1859, and the way that the Tom Wills page is written is that the club was established in 1859. I left it open to you to reword about the establishment of MFC because for whatever reason, it is near impossible to edit anything you've written without you reverting. There are references about the club being established in 1858 on their page. Remember in the past I recommended you make small tweaks rather than reverting, because the way I did the edit was left open to you re-writing it however you liked, but saying "The Melbourne Football Club officially came into being on 14 May 1859", suggests that was the day of their establishment. I don't care how you re-write it, but as it currently stands, it's incorrect. Like I said on the MFC talk page, the 1859 proceedings is up to interpretation, but people saying that's when the club was established is opinion, and I'll always refer back to that court case over the established year, it's a third party intervention without bias making a ruling that the club was established in 1858, therefore, all information on wikipedia must reflect that, and Tom Wills' page doesn't reflect that.

It was a major sport but it had still not spread throughout the whole country. You could argue that it was the primary regional sport in the south-east but that isn't the same thing. The national sports, as such, were more likely horse racing or prizefighting at that time, or even so-called "folk football". It is not necessary to use citations in the lead, per MOS, unless the information is not being repeated (for whatever reason) in the main narrative. I would assume something will be said in the main about ICC membership but, even so, a much better source than CricketArchive should be found because it is not always accurate. Try the ICC's own site, for preference. MOS policy on the lead is that it summarises the whole article. I presume we are going to say something about women's cricket so why do you keep removing all mention of it from the lead? It needs to be mentioned, especially as it is administered independently of men's cricket. Cricket's rules are the Laws of cricket and "Laws" is always written with a capital "L", just as "Test" always begins with a capital "T". Links to major countries like England are unnecessary per MOS. I hope all of that is useful learning for you and I will make the necessary corrections and amendments to the lead. Thank you. <b>[[User:BlackJack|Jack]] | ^{<i>[[User talk:BlackJack|talk page]]</i>}</b> 18:33, 3 May 2016 (UTC) :Points taken on "national sport" and MOS (citations, links).
