Tony Rodi (talk) 00:55, 12 May 2020 (UTC) Dear editor, User Fleet Lists. Thanks for your undo and reversion on my edit. The intention was more for factual reference to material rather than self promotion. If the same links were referred to by others, would that be acceptable? My leading role in, and newspaper articles regarding the most significant cultural and historic urban developments in Australia include the Sydney Morning Herald, The Telegraph, Architectural Review Australia, Television interviews on ABC SBS and all commercial television stations in Australia, and many more media outlets. I expect that I would not be exaggerating to suggest that I am in fact, the most publicised Architect in Australia. To say so is just factual, although it may be seen as self promotion. Please accept my apologies if I have not edited according to Wikipedia requirements. I would very much appreciate your assistance in providing information that does have historical significance. Articles on related subjects outside of Wikipedia seem to be controlled by vested interests, and determined to exclude the most important details. That may have a lot to do with obscuring politically sensitive issues and corruption. Sincerely Yours Tony Rodi Tony Rodi (talk) 00:55, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

The Canterbury Local Environmental Plan 2012 was notified on the NSW legislation website on 21 December 2012 and came into force on 1st of January 2013. Section 6.5 and section 6.5A of the Canterbury Development Control Plan 2012, outlined the details of Ashbury’s Heritage Conservation Area.
https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Ashbury,_New_South_Wales
The predominant Architectural Style typifying this Sydney suburb of "Ashbury", is "Californian Bungalow".
Built in the nineteen twenties, the original allotments were occupied by single storey, single dwellings, which were designed and constructed using a variety of repeated floor plans
The architectural forms featured mostly gabled and hipped roofs, covered with unglazed red terra cotta tiles. The gables were clad in fibrous cement segmented with vertical timber strip covers. Generous verandahs and leadlight windows were also commonly featured. Timber-framed awnings with decorative timber brackets also enhanced elevations and exposed rafters, dressed-all-round, added to the character and attractiveness of the homely surrounds. External timber sills were often supported by corbelled brickwork, adding a three dimensional
protrusion of the windows externally, and the opportunity for a recessed bay internally. This could be used for flower arrangements or placement of ornaments. Awning windows with high sill heights would allow for natural ventilation, weather protection, and security all at the same time. Tuckpointing on manganese or liver coloured face bricks on front elevations was featured, whilst side elevations were finished in common bricks set in lime mortar.
Federation and Inter-war Period Architecture
[edit]
Other architectural period styles include Federation,(early 20th Century), and inter-war dwellings of the nineteen thirties Some Federation Period dwellings included roughcast rendered gable faces and brick piers. Tulips were often incised in decorative timber fretwork, whilst elaborate floral leadlights were found on front and side elevations.
Prior to listing the entire suburb for heritage conservation, many of the houses were modified and added to, with little or no consideration for either scale or style of the original architecture.
Leadlight windows were designed in the Art Deco style, which is reflected in the many diverse geometric patterns, typical of the 1920s and 1930s. This manifested as a direct divergence from the floral designs of the preceding Federation Period from the first two decades of the 1900's.
This artistic approach to home design was reflected in the many variations of detailed elements defining the Australian adaptation of the Californian Bungalow. Picture rails, ceilings, leadlight windows, chimneys and chimney pots, terra cotta tiles and finials were typical elements of this style.
Inter- war Period dwellings were marked by the more austere hipped roofs, replacing gables, with leadlights being geometrical and without colour, and brickwork featuring inset textured, or herringbone designs. Some of the houses also included curved brick walls, and Art Deco ironwork of the Universal Style.
The single storey, single dwelling streetscape has been largely retained in Ashbury. Where 1st floor additions have been allowed, under the Local Government's Development Control Plan, few have been designed to compliment the original architecture.

Talk:Ashbury, New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tony Rodi (talk) 05:06, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
"Ashbury, Heritage Conservation Suburb"is the title of an article written about the Heritage Federation and 1920/30s (Inter War Period) Architecture, of the Sydney suburb named Ashbury...... a name derived from the surrounding suburbs of Ashfield and Canterbury, since it is located in between. The article has been inserted as a link in the article Ashbury, New South Wales.
I have added some photos showing examples of housing types and Architectural details of the period. Canterbury Council and State Government (through Andrew Refshauge, Labor MP) have determined the suburb to hold heritage conservation status.
Tony Rodi (talk) 00:38, 4 January 2018 (UTC)The purpose of the article is to provide a glimpse into the Architectural, Social, and Environmental characteristics that define Ashbury, New South Wales. This article will be progressively updated to provide further commentary, with graphic and photographic images to illustrate a little of the Architecture and artistic elements incorporated into housing, between the beginning of the Twentieth Century and the commencement of World War 11. This was a unique period in the History of Sydney, when Art, Architecture, and Lifestyle were treated with dignity and respect in an environment which is currently under severe threat of destruction.
Notice of Prospective Report
re:- https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User:Rkmepm
Dear Rkmepm, Thank you for your comments on my edit on the "Bennelong Apartments" article. I will try to improve the formatting, and I hope that you will dismiss your unwarranted and unfounded bias. Tony Rodi (talk) 21:41, 26 December 2016 (UTC) Please try to be helpful, instead of promoting misinformation regarding an internationally most controversial development in Australia. My role as convenor of the Save East Circular Quay Committee, along with my association with Sydney Opera House Architect, Lionel Todd, places me in a better position to be both critical and informative regarding this issue than yourself. My supporters in this controversy included some of the most well known environmental activists in Australia, and international identities such as Cate Blanchett, Barry Humphries, U2, Bono, Helena Christensen and many more. If you think that my formatting is poor I am open to your suggestions for improvement. If you think there is any bias, you should do some in-depth research of the extensive media coverage of this issue, in Australia and internationally. This could include unprecedented international newspaper, television, radio and any other multimedia coverage of the foremost historical urban development in Australia. I'm not the one who is edit warring, I am merely clarifying information, and lest you forget, one of the most important rules of Wikipedia editing is that "there are no rules"......... as cited from Wikipedia. Tony Rodi (talk) 21:41, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
PS Dear Rkmepm Please be aware that public land worth over 375 million dollars at the time Bennelong Apartments were built on the Sydney Opera House precinct, was sold to the developers for 5 million dollars. This is not biased, it is much worse, and it's a fact. Tony Rodi (talk) 20:00, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

Tony Rodi (talk) 02:09, 1 January 2017 (UTC) Dear Rkmepm Your view is distorted because you refuse or unable to research the vast amount of media coverage on this issue. The == The Sydney Morning Herald == is not my own website and it is you who are providing your ignorant and perverted version of history. Grow up and do some research before blurting your contrived nonsense. A lie is a lie, even if it is out of ignorance. The references to my website graphics are freely available in newspapers and other media, if you care to do some honest research. The Sydney Opera House was built to last centuries. The Bennelong Apartments are likely to last only decades. See newspaper article Sydney Morning Herald 19th June 1999, www.smh.com.

Please let me know if you would like some more information on the Bennelong Apartments Controversy. A serious article would include some pertinent facts which have thus far, been omitted. This would include proposals for East Circular Quay by some of Sydney's leading architects. The battle for East Circular Quay - The Sydney Opera House Precinct, became an internationally fought urban environmental, cultural, and historic event, the most significant in Australian history since THE FIRST FLEET arrived in Sydney Cove at the commencement of European Settlement on the 26th of January, 1788.

Existence of God
[edit]"I have been described by one of my colleagues as a "militant agnostic" with my tagline, "I don't know, and neither do you!". I take this hard-line, fence-sitting position because it is the only position consistent with both my scientific ethos and my conscience." Brian Schmidt on "God" https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Brian_Schmidt A true agnostic wouldn't include "and neither do you!"
Atheism
[edit]The belief that "God", as defined by an atheist, does not exist, seems somewhat meaningless. Tony Rodi (talk) 23:50, 30 January 2017 (UTC) There is no known definition of God which is commonly accepted as a basis for belief or otherwise.
Hi Gronk Oz. Thanks for your interest. I’m just making a comment about Brian Schmidt’s assertion that if he doesn’t know whether “God” exists, then neither do you. I’m unsure whether that’s a warranted or fair comment. I've also made a comment on Atheism, or at least, atheists. But I think that Wikipedia’s article on Atheism, https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Atheism, covers the gist of my comment quite well, under the following subheading. Viz:- Range "Some of the ambiguity and controversy involved in defining atheism arises from difficulty in reaching a consensus for the definitions of words like deity and god. The plurality of wildly different conceptions of God and deities leads to differing ideas regarding atheism's applicability. The ancient Romans accused Christians of being atheists for not worshiping the pagan deities. Gradually, this view fell into disfavour as theism came to be understood as encompassing belief in any divinity.[43] With respect to the range of phenomena being rejected, atheism may counter anything from the existence of a deity, to the existence of any spiritual, supernatural, or transcendental concepts, such as those of Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, and Taoism.[44]"
I did find that the word “favour” is spelt incorrectly. i.e. “favor". Would you like to make the correction, or should I? Tony Rodi (talk) 07:56, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
@Tony Rodi: I still am not clear what change you are proposing. Looking at the sources, it seems to me that the article accurately summarizes what they say about his religious views. I am not sure how you think the ancient Romans' views on Christianity relate to this article about Brian Schmidt. Nor what atheism has to do with it; that is not mentioned in any of the sources. Perhaps if there is a reliable source where he discusses those matters, it might be worth a brief mention - do you have such sources? On your second point, I have searched this article and the word "favor" does not appear in it.--Gronk Oz (talk) 11:23, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
@Tony Rodi: oops, I got the ping wrong on my previous post. --Gronk Oz (talk) 11:25, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
Gronk Oz Sorry about the misunderstanding. The word "disfavor" appears in the article on Atheism, not on Brian Schmidt's page, and neither was there any reference to atheism. I thought my comment was relevant in view of the comments on agnosticism. I suppose that comment should have been made on the article on atheism. I actually corrected the spelling on my post, but not on the article itself. I'll get back to you when I find the link to Brian Schmidt's article that referred to him as being agnostic, and declaring he had no knowledge of "God" and that consequently, "neither do you." I found that quote when I was looking for references to Brian Schmidt's much publicised assertion that mass simply manifested from "nothing", which he then suggested was really "something". The media reported that notion by a declaration that now that we knew that existence derived from "nothing", God as a primordial creator, was no longer necessary. I did find some forums on this theory, which expressed opinions suggesting that this was "nonsensical" and "hogwash" Thanks again. Tony Rodi (talk) 19:32, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Ashbury is a suburb in the Inner West of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It lies in the local government area of Canterbury-Bankstown Council[2] with some areas in the Inner West Council.[3] It is about 10 kilometres south-west of the Sydney central business district. The postcode is 2193, the same as neighbouring Canterbury.
Ashbury is mostly residential and has no commercial centre, although there are a few shops on King Street. Its major landmark is Peace Park, the highest point in the Canterbury local government area. Ashbury derived its name from the two neighbouring suburbs Ashfield and Canterbury. It is near Canterbury Park Racecourse.
History
[edit]Before the British colony at Sydney, the Ashbury area was home to the Wangal and Cadigal people, clans of the Darug tribe. After pressure from colonists, the British administration began subdividing land in the area surrounding the Sydney settlement and granting it to colonists. The first land grant in the area was 100 acres (40 ha) made to Reverend Richard Johnson (1753-1827), the colony's first chaplain.[4]
The land that extended over Ashbury was known as Canterbury Vale. When it was sold to Lieutenant William Cox in 1800, it covered 600 acres (240 ha). It was then sold to Robert Campbell (1769–1846) in 1803 when it covered 900 acres (360 ha) and then proceeded to purchase more land to Liverpool Road. The estate passed onto his son-in-law Arthur Jefferey and was eventually split up. This area then became known as Goodlet's Bush, after an early settler, John Hay Goodlet. In 1878 Goodlet had bought Canterbury House, which had been built by Arthur Jeffreys.[5]
The South Ashfield Brickworks (later called the Ashbury Brickyard) opened in 1910 from the site of what is now Peace Park. Widescale housing development of the area began in 1919. A primary school began taking students in 1924 and in 1926 changed its name from South Ashfield to Ashbury Public School, leading to the area adopting its own identity. A non-official post office was established on King St in the same year.[6]
Transport
[edit]There is no train to Ashbury but it is relatively close to both Ashfield Station on the Airport, Inner West & South Line and Canterbury Station on the Bankstown Line. Sydney Buses service Ashbury. The 491 Five Dock to Hurstville bus links Ashbury to both Ashfield and Canterbury Stations from King St. The 413 bus links Ashbury to both the City and Campsie. Route 418 links Ashbury with Burwood, Ashfield, Hurlstone Park, Marrickville, Sydenham, Mascot, Randwick and Bondi Junction via Queen street whilst the 406 connects Ashbury with Five Dock, Ashfield and Hurlstone Park via Victoria Street and Old Canterbury Road.[7]
Ashbury borders the Cooks River and offers excellent access for cyclists and walkers to the Cooks River Cycleway.
Schools
[edit]There are two schools in Ashbury. St Francis Xavier's Primary School and Ashbury Public School, which was built in 1928. Its catchment area includes students from southern Ashfield as well as Ashbury.

Housing
[edit]The area has a consistent subdivision pattern, building form and streetscape, largely because its development occurred over a relatively short period of time. A high standard of design and residential amenity was also achieved, and housing in this area has become increasingly sought after. Ashbury consists of character filled Federation and Californian bungalows which are under heritage conservation making the suburb highly sought after.
Heritage Architecture

Disambiguation link notification for March 18
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Circular Quay, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Royal Botanic Gardens and Macquarie Street (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

An article you recently created, Tony Rodi, 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.

- Hi - a bit more on why I have moved this to draft space - there are a few things to consider. First, since this is an autobiography, you clearly have a COI and should comply with the advice at that behavioural guideline. You should not publish an article about yourself directly into article space, rather you should put it through the AfC process.
- Moreover, this draft is not ready for publication. You are providing bare URL external links, rather than inline citations to sources, and of those I checked, none of them was a reliable, independent secondary source giving the subject (yourself) significant coverage, which is what our notability guidelines call for. I'd also add that the article is not structured like a Wikipedia article - take a look at some other biographies to see what I mean, I couldn't really make a lot of sense of yours.
- If you want to continue to work on this, please do so in draft space, and then submit it for review when you feel it is ready for publication. Thanks GirthSummit (blether) 11:15, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.
While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.
If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F4 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:50, 28 March 2020 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:50, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Comments on your edits and suggestion...
[edit]Hi there - I've heavily modified some of your contributions to a few articles as they don't fall within the policies and guidelines of Wikipedia. Contributions to Wikipedia need to verifiable (see WP:V), but not with self-published sources (WP:SPS). Wikipedia is not a vehicle to promote yourself (WP:COI) - if someone is notable, invariably another editor will create a biography on that person. Almost all the articles (all of them?) you manage to insert your name into them (putting yourself ahead of the encyclopedia), and the sources you use are at best flimsy in their support of your contributions. These articles include Circular Quay, Jack Mundey and Neville Gruzman. And, using terms like "desecrate" is simply not WP:NPOV - it's only an opinion. It may be a justified opinion, but it's still not NPOV.
I notice that I am not the first to have these concerns around some of your contributions.
However, the main point of my comments here is to assure you that wikipedia needs editors that follow their interests (like you) but contribute within the guidelines. The Ashbury article seems to be one where you have had some success (but not the bit where you inserted yourself in there - thankfully now removed). So please re-focus and contribute in a manner different to what I've describe above. Happy to help if you need it. --Merbabu (talk) 02:25, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
- It doesn't matter what real life experience or "involvement" our editors say they have, contents must be in line with WP:V, WP:RS, WP:SPS, WP:COI. There are others, but have you at least read and understood these? I note there are others who have tried to explain this on your talk page here and relevant talk page. If something is not in a reliable, independent source, then it's probably not worth including.
- Irrespective of (but also related to) the problems with information sources above, it's also not a good look that you manage to insert claims about yourself into the pages you edit. Indeed all the pages you edit have had mentions of yourself. This is self-promotional.
- And your formatting continues to be appalling - most editors grasp how and where to present information clearly. WP:MOS
- So, three things in summary: (i) please contribute according to wikipedia verification requirements, (ii) stop writing about yourself, and (iii) work on how to better present both article content and your discussions with other editors. --Merbabu (talk) 04:21, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
Time to stop...
[edit]Hi Tony, you reverted without explanation my edit at Circular Quay. As I put in my edit summary (which you failed to provide), it is unreferenced infomration, the relevance is borderline at best, and it's an addition by you once again to shoe horn yourself and your work into wikipedia. It's not what wikipedia is for. Perhaps you are better of making your own website. Reverting without providing explanation, is edit warring. Use the talk page. --Merbabu (talk) 07:26, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
Sock puppets
[edit]You should read WP:SOCK. Creating sockpuppets or using an IP account (such as this) to pretend to be someone else in order to get around wikipedia policy only confirms that you are not here to work with the community to improve the encyclopedia, but that you are in it for your self promotion and not to collaborate. --Merbabu (talk) 07:37, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
no sock puppet involved
[edit]Tony Rodi (talk) 10:08, 28 June 2020 (UTC) Hi Merbabu This was not my edit for Circular Quay. There was no sock puppet involved. Your assumption clearly demonstrates your unfounded opinion referring to "bad" information. Information is either correct or incorrect. "Good" or "bad" are you personal opinion and therefore irrelevant. And yet you accuse me of you own personal bias and editing self promotion. You have also deleted information re the Anti-wall Committee leaving the article meaningless. My involvement and that of Jack Mundey were essential on both the Opera House Precinct East (Circular Quay} and "Gateway Site" (First Fleet Landing Site) development controversies. In fact Jack Mundey was only involved through invitation by the committee I initiated. I have referred to a newspaper article in The Sydney Morning Herald, and you have discounted it in spite of the fact that the article is about several world renown celebrities supporting myself, whilst criticising the source publishing instead of reading the article itself. Your revision editing is in fact appalling and ignorant to the extreme. I have now referred the matter to Wikimedia, and will also contact Wikipedia Administration. You are not promoting collaboration. You are promoting you own unfounded opinions and ignorance. Please stop your unwarranted waring. Tony Rodi (talk) 10:08, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. GeneralNotability (talk) 20:11, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
