Completely unacceptable
[edit]... to have this article quoting the DVA website holus bolus, making up virtually all of the text of the article. By far the worst Australian government/politics WP article I've ever come across. -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 12:29, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
- Agreed; I've reverted the latest attempt to restore the copy-pasted version. To respond to the editor who posted this statement - "[This site displays services available and is not intended to be an advertisement]" - there are multiple problems with this, which can be summarised easily. To begin with, it is necessary to remember what Wikipedia is not: it is not a manual or guidebook, nor is it a directory or complex exposition of all possible details. Moreover, copy-pasting text from other websites is almost never helpful, and is likely to be in a violation of copyright. Thirdly, even if it weren't a breach of copyright, and even if it were consistent with what Wikipedia is and is not, copy-pasting is implicitly problematic with respect to the need to maintain a neutral point of view, regardless of what was "intended".

[edit]Why is this under "Department of Veterans Affairs" rather than "Australian Department of Veterans Affairs" like the US version? It seems like this page should be a disambiguation page. Binarybits (talk) 00:07, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
- The name of the department is "Department of Veterans' Affairs", not "Australian Department of Veterans' Affairs". I'd rather see it called Department of Veterans' Affairs (Australia). -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 05:28, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
