message: Why on earth is this guy categorised under Anarchists? Unsigned Comment made 22:12, 12 July 2006 by 202.61.134.116
: Because he considered himself, and called himself, an anarchist, or more specifically an anarcho-syndicalist. See the quote from Chief Minister of the ACT, Rosemary Follett which should be cited as; Rosemary Follett, ACT Parliamentary Hansard 16 February 1993. The citation was there originally but has vanished in the subsequent changes.--Takver (talk) 06:29, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have put the citation back in. I am going to add him again to the Category:Australian anarchists --Takver (talk) 06:49, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Please also see the Humanist of the year citation for him being cattegorized as an anarcho-syndicalist. There is also an anecdotal report by prominent aboriginal activist Gary Foley that Hollows participated in BUGAUP activities as published in a 1993 Age newspaper article here.--Takver (talk) 11:33, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I notice that on 13 June 2006, the unidentified editor 211.31.239.187 had de-wikified this article without explanation. Some to-ing and froing has happend but I don't see the general result is an overall improvement. While there is more information added and sources added, the result has been to undo the work of other wikipedians without explanation. I have reverted it. I suggest new information be added constructively rather than obliterating past work without explanation.

message: I've been looking through the Wikipedia policies, and it's not clear what to do when a page is being repeatedly vandalised from several (mostly related) IP addresses.  The offender should be warned.  What to do?  -- De Guerre (talk) 03:38, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: See   David Broadfoot (talk) 04:54, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Read all that.  I can't find a description of what to do when the vandal or vandals do not appear to reuse an IP address.  -- De Guerre (talk) 06:50, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Post an incident report to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. The appropriate action in this case would be to semi-protect the page (i.e. prevent editing by anonymous users.) --David Broadfoot (talk) 15:30, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually the correct place to request page protection is at WP:RFPP not [[[WP:ANI]]. I made a request at WP:ANI on March 3 but it was rejected with the response "I'm not going to protect it because there's minimal edit warring or vandalism. --Haemo" - unbelievable! Anyway, I have just made this new request as the last 17 edits since that rejection have all been vandalism and reverts. --David Broadfoot (talk) 15:18, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  On vandalism 

message: Professer Hollows learnt to play the trumpet at Primary school in New Zealand  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Human rights activist (talk • contribs) 08:49, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You are correct, and I've fixed the article. The article had it right up until an obvious vandalism on 30 August 2007 which also changed to a different name. When the vandalism was reversed, the change of name was not noticed. On 22 November, another editor repaired vandalism to the same section and restored the correct name, but unfortunately misspelled it.-gadfium 06:09, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

message: What is controversial about saying that promiscuity needs to be addressed as well as safe sex?  That may be right, or it may be wrong.  But what is controversial about saying it?
Isn't the sentence "Clearly, Hollows infuriated some sections of the community with his comments, but apparently did not cause widespread condemnation" rather POV and unnecessary?
: In this section the statement "Hollows observed the spread of AIDS in contemporary African communities and he was concerned that AIDS would spread as vehemently through Aboriginal communities" uses the word 'vehemently' incorrectly according to the Macquarie Dictionary definition. http://www.macquariedictionary.com.au/anonymous@9c9FFC99245443/-/p/dict/index.html Macquarie Dictionary 
: I agree with the comment above about the sentence beginning "Clearly,...", it needs removing.Lin (talk) 11:40, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree there is a bias in this section, and I've changed it accordingly. Both references verified that Hollows had made the statements attributed to him, and both sources made it clear that not everyone agreed with him; but that's just a debate, not a controversy.
