[edit] Vivonne Bay
I'd be keen to see a definitive quote, or other evidence from Prof. Short that Vivonne Bay was rated the best beach in Australia. The early reports that I recollect placed Vivonne in the top ten, but some where along the line it got elevated to number 1.Browning ave 02:23, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] License tagging for Image:FlyBuys Card.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:FlyBuys Card.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 05:05, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] FlyBuys article
Thanks for your collaberation on the FlyBuys article. I sent the NZ company a query about it via their website, and they replied the same, that it's an independent project. I'll let you split the articles into appropriate entries. Thanks again! Richard001 05:27, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Shell Australia
I noticed you removed hte Shell Australia link from Shell. I raised the point at Talk:Coles Express that Shell Australia should not redirect to Coles Express. Do you think that Shell Australia should be an article, or should link to Royal Dutch Shell. In making your decision, take into account that Shell Canada has its own article.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:FlyBuys.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:FlyBuys.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] FlyBuys (Australia) Comments
Firstly, the article was incorrectly assigned to the category Companies of Australia and was identified for reclassification and cleanup as part of a mini-project I am working on to reform that category. FlyBuys is not a company, rather a product/brand of Loyalty Pacific. Stubbing articles is one of many ways the project identifies articles which require further improvement. Reasons for stubbing include the fact it barely meets the WP:AUS project requirements for start class, and I mean by the skin of it's teeth. It also needs more citations and references which are not published or sourced from the article's subject. It needs a relevant infobox to be added, and this is all not withstanding that parts of the article read like an advertisement and thus could make it the subject to an AfD if not improved within a reasonable period of time. I would also like to note some issues with the comments you placed on my talk page regarding this, and they could be perceived by other editors as exhibiting traits contrary to WP:OWN, particularly when placed in the context of your edit history to the article in question. Next time you have a question, please be a little more polite when asking for feedback and don't hesitate to be even bolder when editing and finding information to add to articles.

[edit] Wesley College
I don't understand what part of my technology section in wesley college melbourne is not appropriate. It simply states the facts as they are. A section of the article was deleted by a vandal, and so i just repaired it.

[edit] Westminster School
Thanks for your comments about my edits on the Westminster school Site. I have indeed read through the Five pillars of Wikipedia - I did so quite a while ago. My intention was to return and rework the changes now - you've saved me the job. As for comments that edits were directed by the principal (yes I did cite that as reason for the edit) - this does not necessarily compromise the neutrality of an entry - it this case it ensures the accuracy. It is a common mistake that people believe that Westminster School has a School hymn - it does not, it has a prayer, and that the school colours are Green and White - not Green and Yellow. I understand your point I’m just trying to make sure that information is accurate. --nathanburgess 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Don't remember 'God be in my head' as ever being referred to as the 'school prayer'. It was never recited as a prayer, always sung - so does this make it the 'school hymn?'This time Harry Woollacott is silent on the matter - and not because he's no longer with us. Nothing about it in his book.Phawkins 10:21, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] American River
Gypsum wasn't mined at Ballast Head - it was only stored there awaiting transportation.It was mined at the salt lakes at the bottom of Pelican Lagoon - remember the trucks could be heard rattling along in the middle of the night!Phawkins 02:49, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
The Muston Heights airstrip is on Dean Johnson's property,which is basically at the T junction of the Penneshaw - Kingscote Road and the road to American River, and was never a commercially used strip. The Emu strip adjoins the Ballast Head Road.Browning ave 11:23, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
There isn't actually a hamlet at American Beach. Since the name of the former hamlet of American Beach was changed to Baudin Beach, American Beach today is in fact just that - a beach.Browning ave 09:56, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Kangaroo Island Sealink
Karatta of course operated from 1907 to 1961.Worth a mention, even though it wasn't car carrying?
Some of the defunct vessels were Hydroflyte H33, Islander operated by Murray River Developments ( they should have stuck to the Murray), Valerie Jane ( op. by Anne Hamlyn). Peter March sold out to a Malaysian outfit, MbFi I think, who then sold to the present Sealink consortium.Browning ave 11:48, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
Yes, it's starting to get off the topic a bit. I'm not au fait with linking ( just lazy ), but the ref. to the Cape Jervis agreeement was from ABC ONline 7/8/02 "Kangaroo Island residents unhappy with ferry agremeent" Browning ave 00:09, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Coles
Thanks for your comments. The Myer one had far too much self promotion in it. I'll look at the other retail articles too. Michellecrisp 00:52, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Port Adelaide Football Club
You might like to have a look at this entry, and the 'Fos Williams era'. See my discussion. Also the Sturt Football Club entry, and list of famous players.Browning ave 10:59, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Media Watch
Media Watch is a singular entity made up of multiple people... either "its" or "their" is acceptable...

[edit] general facilites
hi murtoa,
i understand ure reasoning in removing the general facilites and all the stuff bout notability. i understand that wikipedia has these guidlines about everything ahving to be notable and stuff, but is this really necesary?
i like many people, turn to wikipedia as a priamry source of information. i dont look for notable information only, i look for helpful information regarding a wide range of subjects. this is because i know that there are ppl out there who add information and ppl who monitor to arruse that there is the most current and informative information on offer.
i understand that this is not what wikipedia was designed for, however i question, does it really mater what it was desiged for. it has become a priamry source of information. why would anyone want to sift through complcaited school wevsyts when wikipedia can offer information in a user freindly interface.
going back to my previous example, if a parent wanted to do research about a school to send their child to, tey wont wan to be wowed by notable facilites, they wont to know what the school has to ffer
i ask that you seriously consider our removal

[edit] Loyalty Programs
hi
I understand that you are actively involved in editing the loyalty program pages I request you to kindly have a look at our website loyaltycard.in and add the site in the artical if it fits the wiki guidelines. thanks in advance shetty —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.192.227.16 (talk) 22:17, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, I've had a look at your website and it appears to be mostly general commentary and editorial on loyalty programs. I don't think in nits current state it would be an appropriate reference point on Wikipedia for info on loyalty programs. Murtoa (talk) 06:00, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
thanks will get back to you shetty —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.192.228.201 (talk) 18:56, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Speedy deletion of Everyday Rewards (US)
A tag has been placed on Everyday Rewards (US), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 06:12, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
- You're provided no references that prove the American version of the program is notable. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 15:37, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
-
- If a new article subject is clearly not notable enough, or the article is otherwise clearly unsuitable, it often meets a swift death at the hands of the New Page Patrol. Usually such article are obvious vandalism (by kids at school, often times), self-promotion, and hoaxes. Your article actually lasted a bit longer than such articles often do. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 22:36, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
