[edit] "Misbehaviour?"

Just listening to Steve Cannane on "Hack" on Triple J. He was saying something like: "...and so did you know that he [Hollows] was a bit of a larrikin. Apparently he used to back his car up to a hospital, steal a heap of equipment and take it to third world countries! ...". Does anyone know of a reference for this or how we could incorporate it into the article if true? Thx! Donama 07:09, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Whjy all thisa de-wikifying?

I notice that on 13 June 2006, the unidentified editor 211.31.239.187 had de-wikified this article without explanation. Some to-ing and froing has happend but I don't see the general result is an overall improvement. While there is more information added and sources added, the result has been to undo the work of other wikipedians without explanation. I have reverted it. I suggest new information be added constructively rather than obliterating past work without explanation.

[edit] Vandalism

Can someone remove the "hello chris" at the bottom of the page thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.214.71.209 (talk • contribs) 23:55, 10 April 2007 (ACST).

Removed. Thanks for the tip.--cj | talk 15:53, 10 April 2007 (UTC)


In the early life section, end of the first paragraph: "he joined several clubs and learned the fine art of shagging sheep from his brother james bridgman." I presume this is not quite accurate? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.211.242.227 (talk) 20:02, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] On vandalism

I've been looking through the Wikipedia policies, and it's not clear what to do when a page is being repeatedly vandalised from several (mostly related) IP addresses. The offender should be warned. What to do? -- De Guerre (talk) 03:38, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

See [1] David Broadfoot (talk) 04:54, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Read all that. I can't find a description of what to do when the vandal or vandals do not appear to reuse an IP address. -- De Guerre (talk) 06:50, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Post an incident report to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. The appropriate action in this case would be to semi-protect the page (i.e. prevent editing by anonymous users.) --David Broadfoot (talk) 15:30, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Actually the correct place to request page protection is at WP:RFPP not [[[WP:ANI]]. I made a request at WP:ANI on March 3 but it was rejected with the response "I'm not going to protect it because there's minimal edit warring or vandalism. --Haemo" - unbelievable! Anyway, I have just made this new request as the last 17 edits since that rejection have all been vandalism and reverts. --David Broadfoot (talk) 15:18, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
