Opinion on The Big Bang Theory talk page - RfC section

Hi Aussie, may you please bolden or italicize the opinion you had for the correct version of the lead you stated in the RfC section (or at least make it stand out)? I would like to reference that and would like an easy way to point to it, and feel other users might agree or reference it as well. I did not want to edit your formatting or do anything to it without your permission. Thanks. -Favre1fan93 (talk) 04:22, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

I hope this is better. --AussieLegend (✉) 05:23, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Fine. Thank you very much. To me, and hopefully other editors, it will stand out easier and be easier to find. -Favre1fan93 (talk) 14:57, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Show vs. Series

I don't necessarily agree with the statement you wrote: "Show" is fine for Broadway, but not for a television series. You can have more than just Broadway shows, you can also have television shows. Personally, I prefer "show" to "series" because it's a shorter word (1 syllable vs. 2 syllables), but for now, in order to limit the scope of the dispute, I'll go along with series. We'll leave the show/series dispute to another day. However whatever (talk) 16:43, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

"Show" is informal, "series is formal". Misplaced Pages is an encyclopaedia, and uses a formal tone, per WP:TONE. If you look at "television series", you'll see that it uses "series", not "show". Using "show" is the same as using "mom" and "dad" instead of "mother" and "father". --AussieLegend (✉) 04:17, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Fine -- I'll go along with that. However whatever (talk) 15:49, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

How ya goin'?

I'm sure you're watching here so if you have input or feedback on possible unblock, let me know. Thanks Tiderolls 14:24, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Actually, I've been tied up with other issues (it's the Misplaced Pages silly season apparently) so I haven't been watching this as I could see it was in good hands. However, I've now read all of the comments. I don't really have much to add at this point; my main issues were with the lack of edit summaries, the refusal to use the talk page and lack of response to other editors - these all seem to be addressed by you and other admins. --AussieLegend (✉) 15:16, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Old friends

I can't believe that little toe-rag is back, and that 50.81 is blocked, and socking, again. How'd I miss that? --Drmargi (talk) 02:08, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

50.81's account is very close to being blocked again. --AussieLegend (✉) 02:31, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Oh, dear. We've tried for over a year to get through to her. I've seen her account and IP pages, but haven't read any of it yet. --Drmargi (talk) 06:10, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Well, so much for that. TR blocked her after she went back to editing with no sources. --Drmargi (talk) 06:11, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Well, that just goes to show what happens when you refuse to listen and just go on your own merry way. Maybe TR should head over to The Big Bang Theory. --AussieLegend (✉) 06:17, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

I don't think it's a matter of won't listen. I think it's can't follow directions. Trust me; I've seen it professionally more times than I can count. Do I dare ask what's happening at BBT? (N'mind. I took a peek and recognize several of the cast of characters. 'Nuff said, and good luck!) --Drmargi (talk) 06:19, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

New South Welsh

Aren't you the same user who said that just because the Premier, the head of State Government in New South Wales, isn't natural-born Australian that somehow makes her not a credible source on things regarding NSW? That's like saying Julia Gillard isn't credible on anything national in Australia just because she was born in the UK, or myself saying the same about our former GG and Canadian things because she was born in Haiti. Why should I give a source to someone with such a delightful (there's a better word I can think of) outlook that he rejected a perfectly valid one over the birthplace of his politician(s)?

But here are some other sources of the usage of the term "New South Welsh":

• (Page 3)
• (proof of historical use rather than just current "political correctness" regarding gender)
• (proof of Government use)
• (page 2)
• (page 19)

And I really could keep going. There is also extremely widespread usage of "New South Welsh" in personal blogs and NOG websites. Now would you be so kind to provide me a source claiming "New South Welshman" is the only official and acceptable term and anybody using anything else is wrong and it has absolutely no place on Misplaced Pages? Or should I just open a dispute resolution board and post the fact that I have historical evidence dating back to 1860 of the usage of "New South Welsh" and let the community agree and enforce?
