Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page Effect of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake on Indonesia has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Please stop whitewashing the Queensland article

Your blanking of all mention of Aboriginal people and Pasifika in the Queensland article is offensive. You might think the history of Queensland started with the arrival of white people but this is simply not true. The history of Kanaka people in Australia is an important part of our history and needs to be recorded accurately, not blanked from the record. As your edit summary mentions this is an example of slavery and should be recorded as such, not removed from the national conscience as your edit has done. The frontier war is also an important part of Australian history, and a reason for pride among Aboriginal people. Please do not try to pretend it did not happen.

I'm Aboriginal and if you keep making false statements I will keep deleting them. How dare you ignore cultural protocols?! Aboriginal Dreaming does not contain migration stories for the vast majority of our First Nations. To imply Aborigines 'came from somewhere else' is a cultural insult to us. Remove all your references to war, and replace with a more appropriate term, because using the term war - you infer British sovereignty over First Nations in Qld by conquest, and you are legally incorrect.123.211.234.247 (talk) 15:08, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
