[edit]Hello, I'm MelbourneStar. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Next Australian federal election seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —MelbourneStar☆talk 09:48, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Section 282 Commonwealth Electoral Act
[edit]A tag has been placed on Section 282 Commonwealth Electoral Act requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Section 282 Commonwealth Electoral Act, a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. —MelbourneStar☆talk 12:24, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
Thanks. I have responded. The speedy deletion thing is back. Is it normal to mark a page for speedy deletion then acknowledge it does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion? Oz freediver (talk) 21:00, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
Nomination of Section 282 Commonwealth Electoral Act for deletion
[edit]A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Section 282 Commonwealth Electoral Act is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Section 282 Commonwealth Electoral Act until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. The Drover's Wife (talk) 04:34, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
When there is dispute on article content, the status quo is usually retained
[edit]Greetings! It looks like you're involved in a content dispute at Double dissolution. Since you are the editor attempting to add new material, the general view of the Wikipedia community is that the "burden" is on you to provide the reliable sources and build consensus to support the change. If your addition is reverted, the general view is that the prior version—the version representing the previous status quo—should be retained until after discussion on the talk page produces a new consensus.
It also appears that the other editor is removing your changes in good faith, which means that you (and they) are subject to the three revert rule, both in letter and spirit.
I strongly suggest you focus your effort on talk-page discussion to generate that new consensus. If you persist in edit warring on the article, you may temporarily lose your ability to edit the article, the talk page, and any other page on Wikipedia. —C.Fred (talk) 19:55, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
- My very first edit was made to the article a long time before the edit war began, so I believe it becomes the status quo. In any case, I have been trying to have a discussion and am happy to make that part of the process, but continually scrubbing the article of all references to the issue will make it impossible to move forward, particularly in the absence of any constructive criticism.
- A week is not a long time, especially since there were no intervening edits. —C.Fred (talk) 20:05, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
Rotation of senators after a double dissolution moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, Rotation of senators after a double dissolution, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
