Thanks

For fixing up my user page, sorry I think I accidentally reverted one of yours on this page simultaneously. Canada Hky (talk) 06:08, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

No worries, thanks for keeping an eye on that user. I probably could have reported them to WP:AIV earlier, but no harm done. -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 06:14, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for keeping an eye out/reverting this one. Clearly the anonymous IP has no leg to stand on considering the sources, and what the definition of a faction is. Thanks again. Timeshift (talk) 12:52, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

No worries. You did well to find sources for the factional allegiance, stuff like that is important but, in my experience trickier to find. I suppose you're just a better researcher than me. -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 13:07, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

I might just leave a note on their talk page explaining what's going on, feel free to have a look if you want. -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 13:09, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

I never researched it as such, I just came across it. I regularly do google news searches for any articles containing 'Mike Rann' and 'Isobel Redmond'. What annoyed me was the fact it kept getting removed when I only had the pollbludger cite. Yes wikipedia needs reliable sources for contentious material, but it's just so incredibly annoying when you know for a fact that something is true but cannot find a WP:RS. Oh well, that's history now. Thanks again. Timeshift (talk) 13:46, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

I don't know of and see no reason to think there are subdivisions within the dries.

There are 2 main groups in the SA libs. The rights/dries/conservatives and the wets/left/moderates. In addition to this some members of the SA libs are 'unaligned'

The Australian makes no mention of any Ian Evans family faction.

The Independent talks about the History of the 2 factions and how families have been in either one. It also makes reference to the "Evans faction" but I think they are referring to the same thing as the rights/dries/conservatives as Evans is a member of this faction.

Polbludger is wrong and not a reliable source. I hope this helps clear things up  — [Unsigned comment added by 219.90.247.22 (talk • contribs) 00:10, 25 April 2010.]

Pollbludger is not wrong. The Libs don't have defined organisational factions, their factions are very much based around personalities (perhaps a reason why they've only managed to win 3 of 13 elections since the end of the playmander, and one of them was a minority government). The Evans faction is the conservative faction, the Chapman faction is the moderate faction. And please, sign your posts with four tildes, thanks. Timeshift (talk) 19:20, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

It doesn't make sense to call it the Evans faction as he isn't in control. He is a player but not THE central player by calling the dries/conservatives/rights the 'Evans faction' is misleading and not supported by any solid facts. Pollbludger is just somebodies opinion and in this case misinformed opinion. Even the independent weekly which refers to a 'Evans faction' talks about how Evans is a member of the right. And there are not any sub factions in the dries.

You yourself acknowledge that this is true that the Evans faction is the conservative faction so why are you being so picky about it?  — [Unsigned comment added by 219.90.247.22 (talk • contribs) 12:15, 25 April 2010.]

Have you actually followed the SA Libs history since the end of Playford and the Playmander? Do you know who Stan Evans and Ted Chapman are? This is why it's called the Evans and Chapman family factions. It's all based around personalities. SA Libs and their adelaide hills hick dynasties... their past 40 years has been very comical. This and this... just in two articles, it exposes the embarrassing history of factionalism in the SA Libs right up to the modern day. Sorry, but please familiarise yourself with SA Lib history before claiming there's no Evans and Chapman family factions. Timeshift (talk) 03:05, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello

Is this you? --Closedmouth (talk) 12:53, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Yup. I just created the account in case I ever need an alternate one in the future. Is there anything else I should do to make it all above-board? -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 12:55, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Nope, that's fine, was just checking to make sure it wasn't someone impersonating you. --Closedmouth (talk) 12:56, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Approach

Cheers for being polite and welcoming me to wiki. Your tone and method of trying to have a neutral point of view is very helpful.  — [Unsigned comment added by 219.90.247.22 (talk • contribs) 10:12, 26 April 2010.]

No worries, I hope you decide to stay. Sorry to harp on about this, but it'd be great if you could sign your posts by adding four tildes at the end of your comment like this: ~~~~. I'm not sure if you've noticed, but every time you leave a comment unsigned, someone else has to, and it's little tricky to do manually. Also, you may want to give this a read: WP:Don't abbreviate Wikipedia as Wiki.

As I say, I do hope you decide to stay. If you're interested in getting an account, have a look at WP:Why create an account? (The "WP:" at the start tells you that it's not an article, but a page to do with the actual project). If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to let me know! -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 02:37, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

sorry didn't realise! 219.90.247.22 (talk) 12:16, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion

I'm working on providing that information, I haven't even been working on the page for more than a few hours! I really need this to last a couple of days, because it is for a project for school. I would hope that the article stays up, but we will see. Any advice for how to keep my article up?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Jkelner2009 (talk • contribs) 16:23, 28 April 2010

You should give Wikipedia's notability guidelines a read, especially the guidelines regarding companies. The A7 criterion I'm referring to in the talkpage post means that if an article doesn't even make a claim to significance (let alone prove it), it should be deleted. I'm afraid this article doesn't say why Swype is important, and so it can be deleted under the A7 criterion. If the article gets deleted, but you wish to continue to work on it, you can ask for it to be [[WP:Userfication#Userfication of deleted content|undeleted and placed on a page outside the article namespace. In the future you should probably have a look at the advice page for your first article. If you have any more questions, feel free to let me know! -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 07:04, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

It does have a point, its a company manufacturing a revolutionary technology that will increase the rate at which text input is done on mobile devices. The company's piece of software, swype holds a guiness world record for fastest text message on a mobile phone. Does that merit a wikipedia article?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Jkelner2009 (talk • contribs) 16:38, 28 April 2010

Mention it on the article's talk page, we should probably continue the discussion there. Just a quick note. See how every time I make a comment, it puts " -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 07:11, 28 April 2010 (UTC)" at the end? That's called signing your posts. You do it by adding ~~~~ to the end of your posts. It'd be great if you could try to remember to sign you posts, otherwise other people have to do it manually, which is a bit tricky. Thanks! -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 07:11, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Okay thats now in the post. I need to go to bed its 3:15 am my time and I would really prefer to cite my sources tomorrow morning. Do you think the article will already be deleted by then? I put the banner at the top that said the article was under construction and would be worked on at least over the next few days. Jkelner2009 (talk) 07:18, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Okay, what I've done is move the page to User:Jkelner2009\Swype Inc., where you can work on it, and it won't be deleted. Feel free to go to bed. I'll leave some comments on the talk page of the new location with some advice about what to do. Sound good? -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 07:24, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, it's at User:Jkelner2009/Swype Inc. now, I stuffed up the move. -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 07:26, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

That is much more helpful. Thank you I really appreciate this, as I am new to Wikipedia, I don't want to break any rules, its just been frustrating that I can't even finish an article without it being targeted for deletion. Although I do understand the method behind the madness. Again I appreciate your help and any other advice you can offer is greatly appreciated.Jkelner2009 (talk) 07:30, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

No worries, I'm glad to help. Just leave a comment on this page if you need any more advice or help. Thanks! -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 07:33, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
