Didn't have a chance to add it. Two day break is over and back to loading aircraft for the fourth straight week. Bidgee (talk) 09:35, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

Greyhound Australia

Are you repeatedly re-tagging this article for rewrite, undue weight, neutrality and encyclopedic tone because you don't like one sentence which no one was arguing with you about? If that's all it is, why don't you just remove the sentence? What's with the attitude about this? I'm sure I've interacted with you before and not known you as someone to fly off the handle for no reason so I'm just plain baffled. The Drover's Wife (talk) 13:33, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

It isn't just because of one sentence. Secondly I'm sick of people using Misplaced Pages as an advertising platform, including political, by inserting POV and undue content to further their agenda. To me it seems that you are following after the note left in RSN a few days ago, waiting for something that is controversial. You cannot say the article doesn't need a clean up, history is a bit of a mess. Bidgee (talk) 13:43, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

I'm so confused. What note in WP:RSN? The only edit of yours I can see on anything I've touched there is "I have posted on the 2019–20 Australian bushfire season due to content that has been removed and re-added to the article. Bidgee (talk) 10:31, 16 February 2020 (UTC)", which isn't exactly grudgematch material, not least since it doesn't disagree with anything I'd said. I looked at the edits because Greyhound Australia, like most Australian articles is on my watchlist. Can you give me an example of what about that history section is a mess? We certainly have many articles where people use Misplaced Pages as an advertising platform by inserting POV and undue content, but I cannot for the life of me see what is wrong with this one. Everything seems to be sourced and nothing stands out as problematic about from the one sentence in the lede you already highlighted. The Drover's Wife (talk) 14:01, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

looks good

2019–20 Australian bushfire season

Can you please add your thoughts to discussion on the Talk page re the end of the fire season? I am never comfortable taking on my perennial stalker alone. HiLo48 (talk) 07:46, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Stalker? Geez, our interactions are pretty bloody rare nowadays. I don't haunt your talk page, I don't follow your contributions. Nothing good comes of that. This is editing business. Nothing personal, HiLo. BTW, this looks a bit like canvassing to me. --Pete (talk) 04:38, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Exactly how many times, HiLo? Count them, it's hardly an incredible number. For both of us it's far more likely we'll edit something and the other has never looked at it and never will. I've got a watchlist of several thousand articles, and I'll check through them regularly. Given the number of times we've come into contact over the years, it's reasonable that we have some cross-over in interests.

Seriously, I'm not trying to get your goat or make your life difficult. I like to think I'm old enough to see that as pointless and counterproductive. I prefer to get on with other editors. And to get on with other things. Perhaps we can treat each other with civility, use wiki-policy to make the best encyclopaedia we can and to enjoy our time here? I'd much rather take pleasure in my volunteer work here than be grumpy and churlish. Footbump? --Pete (talk) 09:54, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

I apologise Bidgee. I tried to keep your page sane, but some interference from elsewhere seems to have made a real mess of this. I give up. HiLo48 (talk) 09:56, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
