[edit] How to edit BLP's

I notice you don't acknowledge the reason I gave for removing the content. You are aware of wikipedia's biography of living persons policy I assume. All material presented in these type of articles must be meticulously sourced. Precedent in this encyclopedia is to frown upon using opinion articles from newspapers as sources. You do know the difference between an article and an opinion piece don't you? I would suggest you revert your latest addition or find a more solid reference Prester John ^{-(Talk to the Hand)} 05:01, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

To Gadfium, I thank you for taking this issue up last week, and restoring the content about Malcolm Fraser's stance against Apartheid. I also believe it is important information regarding the character of Malcolm Fraser. I also think it was something that Fraser himself was proud of. Anyway, the deletion incident was also the subject of an ANi complaint, which has now been archived. Thanks, Lester 01:01, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mending our fences

I have just been reviewing my past history on wikipedia and have noticed that you and I have had a few unpleasant run-ins with eachother, I was wondering if there was a way we could mend out fences so-to-speak, as I consider you to be an established Kiwi editor on Wikipedia (a rarity I am beginning to notice). Aniway, Thanks for listening. Cheers (♠Taifarious1♠) 01:43, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay in replying. I've been out of town for the last couple of weeks.

I always thought you were a promising editor, and I'm happy that we can start over with no hard feelings.-gadfium 02:30, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Just saying hi and thanks

Thank you for making the change to the "Eltham, New Zealand" page. Looks much better now - much more readable :)

[edit] Thanks!

Thank you for your edit to the Gary Forrester page. I didn't know how to do that. Say, are you in Wellington by any chance? We live here now, and we love it. Just got back from a holiday in Raumati. Anyway, any edits you might wish to make from a NZ perspective (or any other perspective, for that matter) would be greatly appreciated.

No, I'm in Auckland.

I saw the Gary Forrester page because I try to take a look at all articles related to New Zealand - although I'm currently running about a month behind. Most such pages I categorise, some I format or otherwise tidy up, occasionally I nominate one for deletion. Most such articles are a lot less well-developed when I see them than the Forrester page.-gadfium 23:37, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Architecture of CRM.JPG

I saw that you reverted this image to the previous version. I am attempting to discuss the image with the author, so that he agrees to upload a non-watermarked version. I realize that we can use the GFDL version without additional permission, but it's a better solution to find a version that the author is willing to distribute. If you don't mind, let me ask you to wait a couple days to see what develops. Thanks, — Carl (CBM · talk) 19:21, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
