He dredged up the same tired topic today. I guess he must have writer's block. WWGB (talk) 04:08, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He is at it again in today's Good Weekend. --Bduke (Discussion) 06:18, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Makes for entertaining columns, though. --1.145.232.91 (talk) 07:33, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your sole contribution to Wikipedia. Mark, is it? WWGB (talk) 10:27, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline

Came to Australia in 1989 and started at Ralph in 1988? I'm guessing one of these is wrong. Can't find a decent source, though. Doctorhawkes (talk) 07:15, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ralph wasn't launched until 1997, at which time it was edited by Geoff Seddon. I don't know when Dapin worked there but it certainly wasn't 1988. Splorksplorksplorksplork (talk) 01:35, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly a typo, Dapin's term should be 1998-2002, but I can't find a reference to support it. WWGB (talk) 06:15, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nor could I, but I've changed it anyway. Might have to read that book of his to get a source.Doctorhawkes (talk) 08:08, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. Feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 06:00, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

 == Good Weekend ==
-In his column in the ''Good Weekend'' today, Mark Dapin has launched a "competition" to "hack" this page.  Due to the man's longtime destructive role as an ASIO mole in the Communist Party of Australia (Marxist-Leninist), his position as grey eminence in the outlawed Christmas Island Liberal Party, and his multiple convictions for shoplifting and insider trading across seven states, I think this threat is likely to be realised.  The Wikipedia community must take immediate evasive action and delete the page.  Wikipedia's very integrity is at stake.--[[User:Jack Upland|Jack Upland]] ([[User talk:Jack Upland|talk]]) 08:05, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

-Mark Dapin's first fictional piece of writing was a short story entitled "Die  Wurmschtool Fleigen Shhadt" sub titled "My life as a Newt/ in Green Shorts: Flummery" dedicated to floppy round things with string (red) and his aunty Lil. "Die  Wurmschtool Fleigen Shhadt" was never published, and was found in a brown paper bag tied with ribbon in a small box that was secreted in a shoe box inside an alligator bag under a bed in a location that Mark Dapin once lived in. The ribbon was blue. A tome of 36 words it was an attempt at sonic dissonant constructive verse which utilized a behavioral  abnormality. Called snek in the easy going !st world, snek is called flappp in broader India and "zippowbangfittt" in round the corner Africa this behavior is demonstrated by grand flourishes of consonants and the occasional dive into pre-subjective adverb spot. The degree of difficulty to work in this form is around 23.8 but "Die  Wurmschtool Fleigen Shhadt" being so short made the task even harder. Dapin failed to impress with this effort and went on to write for the masses in a far more accessible style.-- Botscape Hip.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/124.168.34.61|124.168.34.61]] ([[User talk:124.168.34.61|talk]]) 11:16, 4 December 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
