Talk:Coffs Harbour

message: The External Links section of this article has grown to include a number of sites with only limited relevance. I've made some edits in line with the guideline for external links and where I've removed a link my reasoning is outlined below:
*Links to social networking sites -   
*Links to sites only indirectly related to the article subject (in this case mostly groups that simply happen to be located in Coffs Harbour)- a local football club, amateur radio group and amateur computer clubs  
*An advertising link which also requires registration to view its contents - 
*An advertising link to the Big Banana -  the Big Banana is a genuine tourist attraction but it has its own article and the link here is primarily for the purpose of selling services.
I've left links to the local council, the university campus, the National Library images, and some media outlets. I appreciate the Myspace link above also claims media outlet status and would welcome more discussion on its inclusion or otherwise.
As always I'm happy to discuss these changes if there is disagreement - let's seek a consensus here rather than reverting one way or the other in the article. Euryalus (talk) 01:34, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, as far the text on your site goes and its general tenor (point of view promotional material adding nothing beyond the article) but probably yes for the pics if you can give them some explanatory captions and organise them a bit better, and link to them described as photos. Not all may necessarily agree with me. Regards (Crusoe8181 (talk) 04:48, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  You and other page editors are hereby allowed to use any individual photo [I took them myself] if you think it would enhance the page. 1.152.88.154 (talk) 05:16, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep, they would, so off you go and create a user account and become a page editor yourself, log into Wikipedia Commons (from home page), upload selected pics (higher res. than on your site, if possible) with free use license (my own work etc), give them some decent descriptions, label them free use, find a spot on article where a pic would be useful and add it in (a few more pics wouldn't go astray on the Coffs article) and all of a sudden you are a highly-respected Wikipedian - If you get stuck you ask for HELP at my talk page and if you don't let me know anyway! -see WP:BOLD, Cheers  (Crusoe8181 (talk) 12:26, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

message: What on the face of the Earth is a Highway Deviation? Please write in the kind of English that is understood in the major countries of the Northern Hemisphere (the United States, Canada, etc.), and not in the dialects of "Down Under". Perhaps you are trying to refer to a "beltway" or a "highway bypass"? It isn't clear at all at all from what you wrote.By the way, the word "deviation" is a technical one from the field of statistics, as in "standard deviation".We also have deviant criminals and so forth. There is no need to dream up new meanings for this well-worked word.98.67.163.249 (talk) 22:01, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This is not the North American Wikipedia. See WP:BIAS and MOS:TIES. A quick search shows it's a widely used term though possibly Australian English. If you don't think it's meaning is clear from the context in the article feel free to ask for clarification. --Nerdwithagun (talk) 19:50, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
