The entire topic is POV. Evolution and Creation are on opposite sides of the board, but both have validations. The Evolution page acts as though it is an undoubtable fact, and that Creation is a proved hoax. That is considered deception. That can be considered a factual error, and the Help Page says I can correct the error myself. That was all I was doing. |

The scientific community are mostly evolutionists. The unabiased community believe creation is also accredible. Whether it is accepted or not by the majority of the public matters little. If the public believes 2+2=5, does that makes the numerical equation that we know has the answer of 4 suddenly a 5, just because the majority of the community says so? No. Evolution is no more credible than it was when Darwin's "Origin of Species" was created. There is plenty of information validating the alternative of origin, which is creation. Many religions may find this page offensive, for it acts entirely conclusive and definite. If the page was edited to be a possiblity, it would be fair to both atheists and religious. |

Pearcedale and deaf children
- Wow! I hadn't known that Pearcedale was a place where deaf people were taught particularly well.
- Could you explain this a bit more, and go into detail?
- Thank you for adding to the article, it sounds interesting!

Far right
Why did you revert my edits for far right? Who gets to say what is far right or not? Please do not change it back its clear POV violation.

RE: far right
I dont remove far right from every single bio as you can see most of my edits I actually leave the term "far right" in the body of the article just as long as it is used correctly and not stated as a POV. I only remove the term far right when its used as a fact. Stating "This group is far right" is an opinion which can be debated. I never remove the term "far right" when its used as a explaned viewpoint such as:
EXAMPLE: This neo nazi group is described as far right by the ACLU, SPLC, etc.
I will only remove it when it says:
EXAMPLE: The ALPC is a far right neo nazi group.
That is stating an opinion as a fact. Readers have to make up their own minds. You should show them they are a far right group and let the information speak for itself dont tell them. People do not come to wikipedia to get a repeat of CNN.
Thanks,

The ACLU has nothing to do with it. I just posted it as an example on how the articles need to be written to conform to wiki NPOV policy. I have experience with politics but that is not the issue anyone who follows wiki NPOV policy knews you cant state opinions as facts. I do not remove the term "far right" when its used correctly and doesnt break wikis NPOV policy.

Liverpool and Manchester Railway
Hi Michael. Thanks for merging the two articles: I'd been putting off doing it for ages! --RFBailey 15:17, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
ASG
Just saw the change - I do have unreferenced info on the WAGR Msa series built at the Midland Workshops - do you think its worth a separate article of unsubstantiated info about the local species? I had tried to start an art, at Msa garratt, but am open to suggestions... SatuSuro 00:43, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for your info, very very useful - anecdotally the msa boilers were poorly constructed and most of the wagr msa's had to be written off before their user date. Will probably follow up on this again soon. SatuSuro 12:48, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Safeworking
I notice that you have put some work into the Safeworking article. It currently doesn't meet Wikipedia Guidelines and someone has proposed to delete it. Do you have the time and inclination to upgrade the article to meet WP:OR, WP:RS, WP:V and generally make the article refer to what other authoratitive sources have said about the subject?

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mississauga and the Region of Peel controversy
Please provide a reason for your vote on this page (someone--likely WikiWoo--is objecting to your reasonless vote). "per nom" is usually enough. OzLawyer 13:53, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Apologies
Amnesia, coming off a few issues - and I leave messages like I do! Sorry about my missing the point of the main Garratt article, and fogetting that I had started the ASG one (!) Things seem a bit cloudy about early contribs at the moment. Ho hum! SatuSuro 02:42, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for your note - I missed the class of the 442, and as for the ASG article - I know I can find further material specifically about the ASG issue here in wa - and later this year I will be able to get to retrieve my negatives of ASGs on death row in Midland in the early 1960's!!!! Best Wishes SatuSuro 04:27, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
No humour????
Re orangutans, no place for humour, hey? It was fairly harmless and in response to a reasonably silly comment. It wasn't much worse than the other responses. oh well - don't worry, I won't repost it as it only needs one editor not sharing a sense of humour to remove it. But I guess we all see things differently and you seem like a good editor. regards --Merbabu 22:39, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
i was leaving a comment in the context of your conversation, and then left my thoughts on wat to do with siding articles. you may also wish to read this 3 revert rule --Dan027 12:10, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- i wasnt threatening you, i just noticed u have a fairly low edit count and wasnt sure how familuler you were with wikipedia policy. in future it might be adviseable to make a request if your going to move comments another use has made, if i have come across as threatening or abit short i apologise--Dan027 12:49, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
AFD
You were right the first time - it just needed a header on the discussion page to stop it blending into the previous discussion in the log. Cheers, Yomanganitalk 12:01, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
AFD with the same problem
When you create an AfD discussion page you need to add ===[[PAGE TITLE]]=== to the top of that page (replacing PAGE TITLE with the title of the page you are proposing for deletion). I fixed the nomination for When Corruption was King, so it is now in the log for today. Yomanganitalk 09:47, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
When editing, please supply a summary
It helps me because I tend to treat all edits without summaries as vandalizam or spam until I can check the changes made. Will (Talk - contribs) 08:05, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Sock over at Australia
Is User:124.189.53.223 a sock of User:Jtorey? What's the bet that after a few more reverts, there will be another user or very similar anon IP? --Merbabu 12:39, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Gauges
Is there a current moves to identify gauges in rail arts? I noticed youve put in some for west coast arts in feet and inch - while someone was doing all the two footers then also put the metric as well! SatuSuro 12:43, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not complaining - its great that the west coast tas rail arts get any extra editors checking them out - that way they become better, just noticed the two footer stuff got the two foot first, and then there seemed to be the adding of metrics as well - I'm such a 3' 6" person being west oz born and bred - and I dont even remember what that'd be in metrics - so if anyone puts it in - the more bits of info the betters - anyways keep up the good work. I have just obtained a copy of the new 'A history of wagr passenger carriages' by may and gray - which has a huge amount of significant wagr dates - so as long as I dont get distracted... SatuSuro 12:56, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
your reversion
No, it's not OK to revert it without discussion on the talk page. I'm re-verting it now, and you can raise it through the proper channels. Tony 12:56, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Maybe it's you who have difficulty with the concept. One of the public companies governs the succession (by analogy, appointment) of this "chair in common", not both companies. Tony 13:09, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Editing the Evolution page
Do you mind? That page is insisting that Evolution is fact and not theory. I am simply adding facts with reliable book resources that Evolution may not be true. You seem very prejudiced about this, and I want to know why. I said nothing rude and said "may" and "believe" and said nothing more than is fact that creationists have proved facts, too, and are not crazy religious coots who wish to believe in a higher being. I feel quite offended that you are not allowing the truth to be known that evolution is very much a biased theory and that creation is also very accredited with facts.
