Manly Sea Eagles - Ongoing Edits
I've got a condensed history now in the History page, but am taking on the suggestions of others adapting the style of the Eastern Suburbs page into the Manly content.
Please note that major changes do take time, especially when this task is far from my major lifes concern. I'd suggest you not bother looking through the Manly page for another couple of weeks, thus providing a suitable timeframe for the various amendments to be incorporated.
Your suggestion with the banner was much appreciated. Could you please suggest a more suitable banner for use over a longer period of time, to prevent ad-hoc amendments on items which were already likely to be changed/removed at a later date. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Manly1124 (talk • contribs) 09:00, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
University of Canberra
Hi Michelle - just wondering why you are making edits to the University of Canberra - wondering what your relationship to us is - as we're trying to update our content but it keeps being changed - and we're not sure why. Thanks, tiffking2615.
- University of Canberra is trying to update its content to reflect that of other Universities, such as the University of Western Australia. Why aren't we being allowed to do this? Why can't we match other Australian universities in terms of style and content? Why are we being treated differently? Why can't we include links like other Australian Universities? — Preceding unsigned comment added by tiffking2615 (talk • contribs) 23:59, 3 August, 2007 (UTC)

Your work on Cardiff

| Just a little token of appreciation on your recent editing work on Cardiff, especially catching all the Cruftiness, Peacockisms and unreferenced sections that were littering the article. Diolch am fawr! B e t t i a 11:21, 22 January 2008 (UTC) |

Don't you think it would be better to look for some references to add to existing articles, rather than just deleting information that is important to articles? J Bar (talk) 05:34, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Cardiff
Whilst I understand and appreciate your work on Cardiff, please watch out for editing content that may actually be encyclopaedic, such as, in my opinion, your recent edit to Cardiff's air section. It's common and acceptable to show transport links to/from a city's airport. Thanks Welshleprechaun (talk) 13:07, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Marseille
Please refrain from tagging actual encyclopedic content: to describe the section devoted to the ancient monuments and customs of Marseille as "reading like an advertisement" is simply a lazy comment, particularly when there are careful references to information on these monuments and the associated customs. Your edits were unhelpful, unconstructive and seemed simply to express your personal point of view. Please use the talk pages to discuss content in future. Mathsci (talk) 23:25, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
- No, Michellecrisp, as mentioned above the particular tagging of a section was intellectually lazy and disruptive editing: when you tagged the section, you should have explained yourself on the talk page, as is normal on WP. If you have no special knowledge of French or France, why not avoid pages covered by wikiproject France? Mathsci (talk) 08:00, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

City of Thuringowa talk page comment
Hi sorry but i realy need to point htis out to you as i guess you missed where i said it on the page, i added the info (that i re-worded from another editor) and had a ref to use but the page was down, so i went saved the info so that i could look for other verifiable sources to add, and after i had found them i went back to the page to add the 2 good ref's only to find that it had been deleted, so can you not be like the other editors and jump in so quick before i have time to finish what it is that i am doing, thanks .
