............ PLEASE NOTE ...........

Deletion and reference tags.

If I add a tag to your page requesting deletion, or references,

PLEASE DO NOT START A CONVERSATION ABOUT THE DELETION HERE.

Please follow the instructions on the tag, and put the required info into the deletion discussion, or on the article's talk page.

It makes much more sense to keep discussions with the article, rather than having readers follow it across several users' talk pages.

Thank you.

Theory of the Portuguese discovery of Australia

Why did you restore a quote that was changed from the original source? And what does 'commentary' mean? I made it clear that "a new contact language" is not what the source says - in fact it says "any contact language". It appears that you read my edit summary but ignored it.

Sorry, it wasn't the IP and I thought I'd changed 'new' to any', which I didn't do. I hope you will do that. I still think the removal of text here needs justification. Dougweller (talk) 07:23, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Edenton, North Carolina

I just wanted to let you know that I just reverted our friend Giuliano for...a fourth time (sorta - my first revert was 2 edits because I don't have rollback). I did this entirely without thinking. I may have to self-report, but you may want to ask for page protection for Edenton, North Carolina. Cdtew (talk) 00:05, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

I had to undo my most recent revert so I can save some face; the article as it is now possesses Mr. Giannone's promotional language. Cdtew (talk) 00:57, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

State of Queensland

Please consider more carefully before instant revert It is not repeating the first sentence, and the reason for it is stated at Talk. It would be more helpful to attend to what is explained and discuss there. The article failed to make clear to a reader that "the State of...." is the proper name of this and other states of the Commonwealth of Australia, per the preamble to the Australia Act 1986 etc. It is not self-evident and should be mentioned expressly. Why not? Qexigator (talk) 23:39, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

+Discussion continues at Talk:Victoria (Australia). --Qexigator (talk) 14:42, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Valentich Disappearance Help

Hi Dmol, did see your revision of and editor who seems to be bucking the Wiki conventions at https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Valentich_disappearance&action=history

I was wondering if you can keep an eye on the issue, I have asked for more eyes to look in, as I do not want a war.

The SOP plan in such cases is to dicredit the dead pilot by painting him with a "tinfoil hat" through speculation... apart from the fact that the sources are not Wiki like..
