Talk:Roe Highway

message: An advertising feature run in The West Australian edition 7 April 2006 used content from this webpage verbatim. After inquiring with the featured organisation (Main Roads Western Australia), The West Australian were confirmed as authors of the advertising feature. A complaint was submitted by me via the e-mail feedback on their website on 17 April 2006.  It was as follows:
Dear The West:
I was pleased to see that an advertising feature about the Roe Highway ran in your Metropolitan edition Friday 7 April 2006. The advertising feature used content from Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org/), the free encyclopedia. This is the sort of reuse that those who contribute to Wikipedia, as I do, wish to promote.
However, I’d like to point out that when you use content from Wikipedia you ought to include a link back to the source Wikipedia article as is suggested on Wikipedia’s copyrights page, which is located at http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights. 
Specifically, the advertising featured used content from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe_Highway#History. I was a contributor to this article, and text that I wrote appeared verbatim in the advertising feature. Since it appears without attribution to me, or a link to the Wikipedia history, or the text of the GFDL under which I released my contributions, the existence of this page violates my copyright, as well as those of all other contributors.
Please in the future provides acknowledgments to all parts of articles/advertising features authored by your publication that use Wikipedia content verbatim. Thank you.
Sincerely, Ian Peters

text: Very observant Ian and well handled. Perhaps it would be worthwhile to mention this on the Australian Wikipedians' notice board. Nachoman-au 10:08, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: The West Australians site is just a plug for its online edition. If I knew earlier I probably could have gotten the article, but I'm guessing papers backdated that old have being thrown out now (I have The West on home delivery)... - Boochan 13:33, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Incidentally the "Eastern Reporter" and "Southern Gazette", in the page 6 article "Link to Perth" in the ill-famed August liftout (which made it onto Media Watch in early October) sampled large sections of the History section, including the 2nd and 5th paragraphs verbatim. Seems this article is well-read amongst Perth media types... Orderinchaos 17:42, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

message: It looks to me like it is going to be built (or at least re-planned) anyway. Should this go in the article?

thread_title:  Stage 8 (Fremantle Eastern Bypass) 

message: I think details of the upgrading of the intersection at Roe and Great eastern highway, to a flyover style intersection should be added, also notes made about how it is planned to become a Ring road for Perth in the future, and even talk of becoming freeway standard.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Possessedbeaver (talk • contribs) 13:35, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
