[edit] Article
Can we at least write a grammatical and accurate text on this?
In June 2006 the Melbourne Sunday Herald Sun published an article which reported that a Labor federal MP, Julia Irwin, had accused an advisor to Danby, Dr. Adam Carr, of placing "unpleasant biographical material" about her and other MPs on Wikipedia. The article said that Carr had been accused of "altering the online biographical entries of dozens of Labor MPs and Liberals." [1]. Carr strongly denied these claims, arguing that the Wikipedia articles he had written about Irwin and other MPs contained only basic biographical material.

- OK, well it can stay as it is until you have time to fix it.
- Since you are a Liberal, you might keep an eye on Peter Slipper's article, to which somone has been adding defamatory material. He was displeased to learn that the article can't be simply deleted. This is going to become an increasing problem as more MPs learn about their articles. Adam 08:21, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Associateships
To answer your question:
Depends on the court in which you're looking for an appointment. There's a guide to associateships on the ALSA website[2]. I think it's generally the case that, like law firms, judges appoint a year (or more) in advance. High Court appointments are elusive - Kirby J is the only one who advertises for appointments, for example - and I understand the threshold is first class honours. HC appoints two associates - one for the city in which the judge has chambers (eg Callinan J has a Brisbane associate; Kirby J has a Sydney associate).
An insider's tip: write directly to the judge who you want, and explain with cogent reasons why you've chosen the particular judge to whom you've applied. If you've got good GPA and have substantially completed your degree, you'll be in with a good chance. Some judges will require you to have graduated. Some will only appoint those who aspire to the Bar. If you're interested in a particular judge, just call their associate, who'll generally be more than happy to give you tips. Have a look at the ALSA guide (I think it's in the publications section of the website) and there might be information on the court website itself - I know eg that Federal Court has general information for applicants.
Feel free to throw questions my way, and similarly if you want me to have a look at any application you put together. Sambo 15:37, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Governor-General of Kangaroos
I didn't realize that using the 'i-word' was a no-no, though for some reason I doubt anyone has a skin thin enough to be offended. What caused my flagrant use of the i-word was that the user in question reverted an edit and quoted wiki-policy, instead of making it better, which is against sense. Quoting 'policy' is bureaucratic mumbo jumbo that gets in the way of a good encyclopedia. Desertsky85451 03:50, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Civility
It seems to me that you are acting in an uncivil manner. Please remain civil and don't resort to making personal attacks or instigate edit wars. Specifically, these two edit summaries are unacceptably incivil: [3] [4]. Even the simple "rvv" is incivil when you consider it's an edit dispute. See Wikipedia:Vandalism#What vandalism is not. Furthermore, removing messages from your talk page in a dismissive manner is incivil. If you continue this behavior, you'll be blocked. Mangojuicetalk 20:51, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
- Dude, you seriously need to calm down. Yes, I know all about Mangara's behavior; I found out about this when I denied Mangara's unblock request. I know a thing or two about edit wars, though, and being dismissive and flippant towards a problematic editor makes things worse. That's why we HAVE WP:CIVIL. Calling someone's edit stupid isn't a personal attack, but it is definitely incivil. From Wikipedia:Civility: "...incivility is roughly defined as personally targetted behavior that causes an atmosphere of greater conflict and stress." Partly, I put the warning here to build a bit of a bridge with Mangara so that this edit conflict doesn't go on forever; I need to treat Mangara fairly, and part of that is not turning a blind eye to the incivility on the other side of the conflict.
