{{edit semi-protected}} Removing hoax/attack

Tasesq (talk) 04:59, 27 November 2010 (UTC) Not done: Not only will I not put up blatantly false/attack info, I'll warn you for attacking the biography of a living person. Qwyrxian (talk) 05:35, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good Weekend

In his column in the Good Weekend today, Mark Dapin has launched a "competition" to "hack" this page.--Jack Upland (talk) 08:05, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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]

So mark dapin claims in his column in good weekend saturday 5/3 that he is actually the australian number one sumo wrestler as no one else entered the compitition....may need checking but potentialy true? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.4.74.65 (talk) 12:03, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do we really need this article? Is he really that significant?--Jack Upland (talk) 18:06, 12 December 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]
