Talk:Kilcoy, Queensland

message: Today, I see there are new edits critising the Anglican Church in Kilcoy. There is a long history of similar problematic single edits and groups of edits from a number of IP accounts and a named account all in relation to the Anglican church in Kilcoy, criticising it in much the same way. The problems from a Wikipedia policy perspective are numerous: misleading edit summaries, adding uncited content or citing personal websites, or adding insufficient citations to undertake verification, or providing citations that fail verification, probable WP:BLP violations (people mentioned by name or being easy to identify from their description in a small town), removing cited content, or the citation for cited content, or replaced cited content with other content (not supported by the existing citation), and sometimes bracketing these problematic edits with other unrelated but harmless edits to disguise the real edit sometimes done by another account, etc e.g.
* July 2018 
* July 2018 
* August 2018 
* August 2018 
* August 2018  by now-blocked sockpuppet User:Ulrich von Metz
* August 2018  by Ulrich von Metz
* August 2018  by Ulrich von Metz
* February 2020  
* October 2021 
* December 2021 
* December 2023 
* February 2024 
* February 2024 
I and other users have deleted these edits over several years, yet they keep turning up again. It is well beyond Assume Good Faith. I note an account that was also active around some of these edits but doing harmless edits was User:Archangelbris which has subsequently been declared the sockpuppet master of Ulrich von Metz.
In the same timeframes of July-August 2018, the article Anglican Diocese of Brisbane received similar treatment, same techniques, same themes, and the same two named users (now known to be socks) were active at that time in addition to a number of IP users, and even includes criticism of the Kilcoy church, just to help connect the two attacks e.g.  and there may be other instances of similar attacks in other articles that I have not encountered. There have been more recent attacks of a similar nature on thae diocese article.
Obviously everybody is entitled to their opinions on Anglican beliefs/practices (not being Anglican, I don't really care), but it is not acceptable to use Wikipedia in this way. It violates our major policies involving No original research, Use reliable sources, Neutral point of view, biographies of living people, as well as our processes. Please be alert to further instances of this kind of activity. Thanks Kerry (talk) 06:14, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Point Lookout, Queensland

message: I notice that post office opening dates from www.premierpostal.com have been added to a large number of articles. This website appears to be a commercial webpage for an auction house. These are not normally considered acceptable as sources for Wikipedia. Unless we can demonstrate that the author of www.premierpostal.com is an expert in their field or that www.premierpostal.com has a strong reputation for fact-checking and accuracy and an acceptable editorial process, all those references are going to have to be removed.
There is a standard for what material can be used for references on Wikipedia, and www.premierpostal.com doesn't seem to meet those standards in any way. It's a commercial website for a philatelic auction house that seems to just list post office opening and closing dates as a form of Google-bombing. Even if the material is perfectly accurate and taken from some reliable source, we still need to reference the original source, not the commercial website with no apparent editorial oversite.

Talk:Eucalyptus coolabah

message: Since coolibah can be found anything up to 20 kilometres from permanent water along flood plains I've altered the reference that suggests that it is only found near springs and permanent water.
Also altered the Waltzing Matilda reference. Unless things have changed recently the Coolbah found at Blackall (where WM was set) is still E. coolabah, not a closely related species.
I'm also fairly certain that E. coolabah grows to more than 15 metres in height but I'll check with Broker and Kleinig.
But the article still says "...is a eucalypt of riparian zones and is found throughout Australia from arid inland to coastal regions." How can it be riparian and grow in the arid inland?ExpatSalopian (talk) 23:59, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

text: As a long time Queenslander and recent visitor to Warwick, I agree with you both. You might like to cite . It definitely ends with an "ick" not a "wick". Kerry (talk) 04:35, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

text: As a W#arwick resident and presenter at the Community Radio Station, I can confirm that the pronunciation being put forward as "WORR-ick" is correct. The second "w" in the name Warwick is effectively silent and the 'a' is said as a 'o'.
Some vehicle GPS spoken references to Warwick amusingly pronounce it incorrectly as "war-wick" and it is possible that this has contributed to the confuzzlement as to the correct pronunciation.

Talk:Granite Belt

message: The article presently states that copper, gold and tin were the mining industries in Stanthorpe. However: 
Alluvial tungsten ("wolfram"), in Quart Pot Creek and elsewhere around the area, is a valuable metal that was responsible eventually for the establishment of Stanthorpe as a mining village.
The article also fails to mention: 
The wine industry has become a major tourist attraction and money-earner for the area, with over 50 wineries around Stanthorpe and the village of Ballandean - the local wines have won national prizes, particularly for the whites which grow well in the cool climate and granitic soils. The wine industry and the newer vegetable and soft fruit industry (for example, capsicums, strawberries) have been responsible for reviving the fortunes of the area and providing employment that has seen an expansion of the population. There is a biennial Apple and Grape Festival in Stanthorpe.
A novel source of attraction for tourists from the capital city Brisbane is that Stanthorpe is the only town in Queensland that experiences snow in the Winter. 144.137.67.17 (talk) 07:38, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Also, it appears to be referring to a type of software which although it could be classified as "Machinima" is not really digital puppetry in the sense that it relies on scripting and does not give a puppeteer permit complete real-time control over a digital character, which is the common definition of puppetry.

thread_title:  Note on the refimprove tag July 2013 

message: I have removed the sections on "Cave Troll and Gollum" and "Bugs Live" from the History portion of this article because no citations have been provided.
Even if citations can be provided, are these really appropriate? Although they are interesting examples of digital puppetry used in high-profile properties (Looney Toons and the Lord of the Rings franchise), their importance to the history of digital puppetry is highly debatable. It would be much more appropriate to include sections relating to developments such as the Henson Digital Performance System, Machinima-based digital puppetry or examples of consumer-oriented software like iClone, all of which have made a more significant impact on the development of digital puppetry than either of the previously included examples.
Perhaps there is a way to incorporate references to Bugs Live and the work in Lord of the Rings that provides better context for readers, e.g. how and why those projects happened and how they relate to the overall history of digital puppetry? The section on "Elmo's World" poses a similar problem and perhaps it would be better to have a section on developments between roughly 1995-2005 and include references to experiments and projects developed during that time period.
Also, the section on Disney Imagineering's use of digital puppetry is still lacking citations and this should be rectified.

thread_title: Where

message: Quote: "Blackall is also the home of the original Black Stump, which marks the original Astro Station established in 1887"
How can this be so, when even the wiki page on the Black Stump says,
Quote: "The term "Black stump" was used as land markers on a surveyors plan and was first referred to as a boundary marker in a New South Wales court case involving a land law dispute. See R v West [1831] NSWSupC 66 (12 October 1831)."
Something that occurs at least 55 years later can hardly be the original, and makes the entire section false.
:Australia has lots of trees and lots of bushfires, so there must be many black stumps all over the country in a physical sense. I think the NSW court case is using the term in that context, as a means of specifying a particular property boundary. However, the use of the term "black stump" beyond which civilisation does not exist (or whatever) is not the subject of the land boundary case. Given the size of Australia, it seems reasonable that people in different areas may have used the term "beyond the black stump" to refer to remote areas in their own part of Australia. The Black Stump article documents some of these claims, including Blackall's. I've weakened the sentence in question to be a "claim" rather than a fact, since I agree with you that this isn't proven.
