Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced to multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring and sockpuppetry.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Lastly, if you are editing an article about an individual or group of people, please adhere to Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Queensland Cabinet box

Hello there, in regards to the queensland cabinet. I just got the ball rolling. If you feel that the parliamentary secretaries should be separated into its own list group. feel free.

Just to let you know, I usually start a template and let others improve it. I don't usually feel attach to templates as so long as it keeps improving. have a good editing day :P Takamaxa (talk) 14:20, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Photo use

No you can't use that photo on Wikipedia. The author released the photo under copyright as indicated on the right under the Additional Information heading and so reserves all rights. See this page for more information about finding and using images on Wikipedia. The photo also has the hideous Anna Bligh and Ben Southall in it. Ideally it should just be of Lawlor. - Shiftchange (talk) 05:47, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

DYK suggestion

I would like to suggest that since you have recently expanded the Peter Lawlor article that you may want to nominate it for the Did you know section on the Main Page. Further I would recommend that the hook be based on the fact that he was the first non-conservative politician to be elected to the Electoral District of Southport. - Shiftchange (talk) 11:10, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Shiftchange, I think I've got a lot more to do on the article, I'm reading the Inaugural Speech at the moment for personal and political info and I'm thinking of going to the library tomorrow for better non-Internet info. I'll have a look at the Did you know thing later tonight. Thanks for the suggestion! Molendinarmania (talk) 11:37, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Sorry I've had a look but it's too complicated for me at the moment. Feel free to nominate it but otherwise I'm happy to leave it. Thanks, Molendinarmania (talk) 15:21, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

No need to apologize, I understand perfectly. The main reason I mentioned the idea was that it brings eyes to your work, which may then lead to further improvement of the article. - Shiftchange (talk) 23:34, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Mick Vievers

The article Mick Vievers has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. — e. ripley\^talk 12:11, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Careful! You'd misspelled the name (it's Veivers), and there's already an article for Mick Veivers. I've redirected it. Please take care when creating new articles that they're under the correct name. That aside, great work on Peter Lawlor - looks great! Frickeg (talk) 12:20, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
