==Welcome==
Hi Mark, and welcome to the 'pedia. Anything you need to know, just ask. You were quite right about that redirect, by the way. I made the change. Cheers, and I hope you stick around. [[User:Tannin|Tannin]] 08:52, 14 Sep 2003 (UTC)
==Bob Hawke==
With regard to [[Bob Hawke]] feel free to put in the wording you want - by the way the 2007 election will be for Howard what the 1961 election was for Menzies almost - it will be 11 years since there was a Labor Government (12 years in 1961) and 14 years since Labor won an election (15 years in 1961).

==Transfinite induction==

:The first step above is actually redundant. If P(''b'') follows from the truth of P(''a'') for all ''a'' < ''b'', then it is simply a special case to say that P(0) is true, since it is [[vacuous truth|vacuously true]] that P(''a'') holds for all ''a'' < 0.

You deleted this paragraph from [[transfinite induction]].  I think you completely failed to understand it.  Suppose I prove that '''''if''''' { for all ''a'' < 0, ''P''(''a'') }, '''''then''''' ''P''(0).  Since there exists no ''a'' < 0, it is vacuously true that for all ''a'' < 0, ''P''(''a'').  Consequenly my proof that ''if'' for all ''a'' < 0, ''P''(''a'') ''then ''P''(0) necessarily implies that ''P''(0) is true.  That is a way to prove ''P''(0).

Now suppose I prove that for any ''b'', if { for all ''a'' < ''b'', ''P''(''a'') }, ''then'' ''P''(''b'').  I said for ''any'' ''b'', and that implies in particular for ''b'' = 0.  Thus that single step proves ''both'' ''P''(0) and induction step. [[User:Michael Hardy|Michael Hardy]] 23:18, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

==Telehealth==
I was just wondering if you actually knew that ''Telehealth'' at [[RFDSA]] was definitely videophone advice, or if you were just removing question marks. Thanks for the cleanup though.--[[User:ZayZayEM|ZayZayEM]] 00:32, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Sorry Mark, I thought I was answering the user who last contributed to the article. After checking the history, I found out that it was you.

== Music in Xena ==

Please do not re-add the section on "The Music" to the article [[Xena: Warrior Princess]]. That section is copied from the website http://www.historyfan.com/music1.html . Wikipedia cannot use it without the express permission of the material's author. Please see [[Wikipedia:Copyrights]] for more details on Wikipedia and copyrights. [[User:FreplySpang|FreplySpang]] [[User talk:FreplySpang|(talk)]] 03:25, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
:"Of course, if you noticed the music section here, I wouldn't have been caught by it :-)" Yeah yeah. :-) Cheers, [[User:FreplySpang|FreplySpang]] [[User talk:FreplySpang|(talk)]] 15:36, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

== Hugo Kelly ==

Hi Mark - Mayne's allegation that Hugo Kelly wrote his own Wikipedia entry is entirely false. I am not Hugo Kelly - much of the material in the original article was taken from an interview I did with him which is on my blog - http://bekk.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_bekk_archive.html

(scroll down, it's called The Sleeping Giant of Australia's Media Scene)

The IP address you've suggested is him is also me - it's my work computer. Can you please remove the autobiographical thingies from the entry. [[User:HighPriestess of the PDRGI|HighPriestess of the PDRGI]] 04:06, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
:I would agree here, and to be honest, even if it was Hugo Kelly, what of it? So long as they write neutrally and in an encylopedic tone then I think we should keep the material. However, I don't agree that we should be using a straight copy & paste from a blog. There is altogether too much trivia in the article. I really don't think anyone needs to know what their favourite food is, for instance. - [[User:Ta bu shi da yu|Ta bu shi da yu]] 07:41, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure we didn't have a favourite food in there! Only that Hugo's hobbies are eating my cooking, and sleeping - which they are. But anyway, it's certainly a work in progress at the moment. Oh, and partner is fine. 

I'm finding the copyright stuff a bit confusing - do I need to put a copyright notice on my blog? [[User:HighPriestess of the PDRGI|HighPriestess of the PDRGI]] 01:53, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

== [[Wikipedia:Meetup/Adelaide|Meetup on 24th August 2006]] ==

==Subst==
Hi, when you post a welcome message to a newcomer, could you use <nowiki>{{subst:welcome}}</nowiki>, <nowiki>{{subst:welcome2}}</nowiki>, etc., instead of just <nowiki>{{welcome}}</nowiki>, <nowiki>{{welcome2}}</nowiki>, etc. It means that the text of that particular template will be added to the talk page of the user instead of the user just seeing a sort of mirror image of it.  Two advantages are that if the actual template is vandalized, the message you have sent will not be altered in any way, and also less load is placed on the server. For more information, please see [[WP:SUBST]]. Cheers.

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians.  It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work.  Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have '''feedback''' on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on [[User_talk:SuggestBot|SuggestBot's talk page]].  Thanks from [[User:ForteTuba|ForteTuba]], SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on [[User:SuggestBot/Requests|the SuggestBot request page]].  If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- [[User:SuggestBot|SuggestBot]] 22:26, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

== Re: Libby's time ==

Regarding my edit [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=World_records_in_swimming&diff=120059540&oldid=120026781 here], I think it's fair to say that I mucked this one up. I saw the news site and assumed that the time I'd seen the previous night had been corrected, then saw other sources which had the original time. All in all, not one of my finer Wikipedia moments. You do what ya gotta do.

=== Universally Unique Identifier ===
Hi, I've removed the number that shall not be mentioned from [[Universally Unique Identifier]] in order to clean up after the recent spam storm.  The issue of when it is appropriate to publish it on Wikipedia is being discussed actively on the lists and on [[Talk:HD DVD encryption key controversy]].  At I understand it, this effort to publish the key was in vain, as it is on the revocation list and is therefore public knowledge (see the talk page for more info).

Hi there {{BASEPAGENAME}}! As you may know, the [[foundation:Main Page|Wikimedia Foundation]] has recently [[foundation:Resolution:Approval of Wikimedia Australia|approved]] [[meta:Wikimedia Australia|Wikimedia Australia]] as an official chapter. In order to acknowledge this, and to appoint an interim committee, approve our statement of purpose and our rules, and appoint a Public Officer, Wikimedia Australia will be having a meeting at Computerbank in Melbourne. For those of us who are located in other cities, we shall be holding conference calls to the main meeting. 

The meeting will be held at 2:30PM on Sunday, 20th April 2008, Adelaide time. In order for us to organise this meeting, we need your help! Please drop by at [[meta:Wikimedia Australia/Incorporation/Adelaide|our meta subpage]] with suggestions as to venues, conference calling services, etc. It will be at 2:30 so we can meet up for lunch beforehand if anyone's open for that!

==G'day Wikimedian :-)==

Whilst it's quite likely you'll have heard this news on the grapevine, in your email inbox, or even in person - I thought that it was sufficiently exciting to warrant giving each of you a 'new messages' orange bar! This particular orange bar has been brought to you to let you know that [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Australia Wikimedia Australia] is now open for members!

I'm not on the committee or anything, and that's where the credit is due in getting everything to this point, but I think it would be absolutely fantastic for folks who wish to support the australian wiki community, to go ahead and [http://membership.wikimedia.org.au/memberdb/index.php?page=signup sign up] - we're quite likely to be the world's fatest growing chapter at the moment!

==Excuse Me==
You left a message saying that I vandalised several pages, including the one about "Ryan Higa", but it was not me. I have an IP address that gets changed often, and apparently it got changed to the IP of some vandal. I often contribute to wikipedia, and I have never dared to vandalise a page, since it is useless, and would be reverted in a matter of minutes.

<big>'''Hi, {{BASEPAGENAME}}, welcome to the [[Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron|Article Rescue Squadron]]!'''</big> 
We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles that have been [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|tagged for deletion]]. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated! 

{| class="navbox collapsible collapsed" style="text-align: left; border: solid 1px red; margin-top: 0.2em;"

! style="background-color: #f2dfce;" | Some points that may be helpful:
|-
| style="border: solid 1px red; padding: 8px; background-color: yellow;" |


* Our main aim is to help improve articles, so if someone seeks help, please try to assist if you are able. Likewise feel free to ask for help, advice and clarification.

* Many times we are asked to help rescue articles by people new to our [[Wikipedia:Notability|notability]] and [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|sourcing]] policies. If the article is not fixable we can help explain why and offer alternatives. Many of these editors are also new to Wikipedia so may see deleting "their" article as [[Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers|"bitey"]]. Encourage [[Wikipedia:Civility|civility]] and maybe even {{tl|welcome}} them if they have only been templated with deletion messages.

* The ''Articles for deletion'' (AfD) discussion is where the concerns regarding each article are brought up and addressed. To be an effective member of the project you need to know how AfD works as well as how to improve articles. [[Wikipedia:Introduction to deletion process|Introduction to deletion process]] gives a good overview and some [[Wikipedia:Introduction to deletion process#Advice for newcomers to deletion|good advice for newcomers to deletion]].

* Our primary work is improving [[:Category:Articles tagged for deletion and rescue|articles tagged for rescue]]. On this template you can see a drop-down list of current articles tagged. You can install it on your own page by putting {{tl|ARS/Tagged}}. A more dynamic list with article links and description is on [[Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron/Current articles|our current articles page]]. It is highly recommended you [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron/Current articles|action=watch}} watchlist it].

* If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to [[Wikipedia:Translators available| the list of translators available]]. Articles and sources that use non-English languages often need translation for those of us who cannot translate for ourselves.

* Many important discussions take place on the project's [[Wikipedia talk:Article Rescue Squadron|main discussion page]]; it is recommended that you [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron|action=watch}} watchlist it].

If you have any questions, feel free to [[Wikipedia talk:Article Rescue Squadron|ask on the talk page]], and we will be happy to help you.

:Your answer was rather woolly. Your first point was that the use should be fair use under US law, which is wrong; Wikipedia's fair use rules are far more strict than that. You also referred to the image needing a rationale, which is true of all fair use images. I am looking to see what distinguishes images of living people from others. See also [[foundation:resolution:licensing policy]].
:I wouldn't like to say exactly what I expect people to say to that question, because obviously then it gives the opportunity of gaming the system to others. But I hope what I said helps. [[User:Stifle|Stifle]] ([[User talk:Stifle/wizard|talk]]) 17:48, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello!  I agree that cats sorted A-Z is sometimes handy, if there are literally dozens of them. Otherwise, as long as they are correct, I personally don't care what order they're in. I'm puzzled to why the lifetime template page instructs the placement as it does, so I've raised this on the talk page.

Hi Mark, now that there are starting to be some interesting numbers of cases of swine flu in Australia, perhaps we can pick colours to indicate the number of confirmed cases in each state in [[:File:H1N1 Australia Map.svg]].  Perhaps the scheme used in [[:File:H1N1 Canada Map by confirmed cases.svg]] is satisfactory.  What do you think?

== Re: Your edit to Stolen Generations ==

Ah, I understand now; thanks for your explanation.  I'd just assumed it had been left over from a time when there were many {{verification needed}} tags.  Hence the first said {{verification needed}}, the second {{verification needed|type=another}}, the third {{verification needed|type=yet another}} and so on.  Totally silly of me, but that's what happens when I edit too late at night.

I hear what you're saying about the templates... maybe something to bring up at the [[WP:VP|Village Pump]]?  Or maybe ask at the reference desk, since I'm sure this kind of thing must have come up before.  For now I've implemented a slightly inelegant [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stolen_Generations&diff=293718980&oldid=293532765 solution], which will hopefully clarify the purpose of the tag for other editors.

On a totally unrelated note, my thought on the question posed on your userpage ("Should NSD refer to Natasha Stott Despoja?") is yes — because her name is hard to spell and remember.  In fact, I think I'll add it now.  

Glad you found some userboxen you liked :-)

[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:Keith Martyn]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such articles may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]], as well as our subject-specific [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)|notability guideline for biographies]]. 

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:Keith Martyn|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[Talk:Keith Martyn|the talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these admins]] to request that they  [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication_of_deleted_content|userfy]] the page or have a copy emailed to you. <!-- Template:Db-bio-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Bonewah|Bonewah]] ([[User talk:Bonewah|talk]]) 14:13, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

I can confirm there's a problem on Chrome and Firefox (at least) as of the last 6-12 hours (depending upon caching perhaps).

Hi. I argued with another... valued contributor... over the whole Harvrefcol thing, and he admitted that Harvrefcol is an extant format: LSA, the format of the Linguistic Society of America. Now you're here. This is like a video game. Do you actually believe you're doing something helpful or meaningful by eliminating everything except Citation? You mean you are unable to write articles?

* From an admittedly selfish point of view,  it is very discouraging when hours and hours of tedious work is discarded in the name of some rather dubious goal of "standardization". What actual good does standardization do the reader? None... Less selfishly, the bad taste is tripled when the standard being championed is itself is decidedly nonstandard. I also replied on the talk page of template:Citation, but from very very very long experience I know my voice will not be heard (and only sketchily acknowledged, if at all). I speculate that template editors love the current output because 1) it's their baby; they worked on it, and 2) it's just too much trouble to make things follow the rest of the world. Thus the template coders define standards according to their own needs and desires, rather than that of multiple real-word audiences.

== Question about hidetopcontrib.js ==

Hi Markhurd!  Your [[User:Markhurd/hidetopcontrib.js]] was mentioned on [[Help talk:User contributions]].  It sounds great, so I tried it out.  Although I've tried creating [[User:GoingBatty/common.js‎]] and adding it to [[User:GoingBatty/vector.js]], bypassing my IE7 cache, deleting temporary files, and rebooting my PC, I don't see any difference on my contributions page.
I tried reading your documentation at [[User:Markhurd/hidetopcontrib]] and don't understand the sentence. "Clicking again undoes the hiding."  Clicking what again?
Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!  [[User:GoingBatty|GoingBatty]] ([[User talk:GoingBatty|talk]]) 00:08, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

:<s>I'm not in a position at the moment to test the Vector skin.</s> To see what it should look like, you could try changing to Monobook and going to anyone's Contributions page. You should see an extra "show/hide top" tab next to "special page", and the effect should be to remove pages that are marked as '''(top)''', and if you add my suggestion of ''userHideAllSubsequent=true;'' it will also hide all but the most recent edit of any page. And then clicking it again should restore the contributions list to its original state. [[User:Markhurd|Mark Hurd]] ([[User talk:Markhurd#top|talk]]) 02:04, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm leaving this message for all recent contributors to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts]]. 

This scripts listing page is in dire need of cleanup. To facilitate this, I've created a new draft listing at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts cleanup]]. You're invited to list scripts you know to be currently working and relevant. Eventually this draft page can replace the current scripts listing.

== Invitation to events in June and July: bot, script, template, and Gadget makers wanted ==

I invite you to the [[mw:Berlin_Hackathon_2012|yearly Berlin hackathon]].  It's 1-3 June and registration is now open.  If you need financial assistance or help with visa or hotel, just mention it in [https://wmberlin.eventbrite.com/ the registration form]. 

This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community.  We'll be hacking, designing, and socialising, primarily talking about [[mw:ResourceLoader|ResourceLoader]] and Gadgets ([[mw:Gadget kitchen|extending functionality with JavaScript]]), the switch to [[mw:Lua scripting|Lua for templates]], [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata Wikidata], and [[mw:Wikimedia Labs|Wikimedia Labs]].

Our goals for the event are to bring 100-150 people together, including lots of people who have not attended such events before.  User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come!

I also thought you might want to know about [[mw:MediaWiki developer meetings|other upcoming events]] where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, how to best use the [[mw:API|web API]] for bots, and various upcoming features and changes.  We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.

Check out the the [[wm2012:Hackathon|developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC]] and [[mw:MediaWiki developer meetings|our other events]].

{{Wikipedia:Meetup/Adelaide/Invite2}}
Hi, in case you're not already aware of it, a group of Adelaide Wikipedians has been meeting on a monthly basis [[Wikipedia:Meetup/Adelaide|since April]], with the aim of improving the scope and quality of articles on South Australian topics. We meet at UniSA's City West campus, and our [[Wikipedia:Meetup/Adelaide/Meetup 11|23 July meeting]] will have a guest speaker from the National Trust of SA.

This coming Sunday, 6 July, we will be holding [[Wikipedia:Meetup/Adelaide/Edit-a-thon 1|our first Edit-a-thon]]. This will be an opportunity for new editors to come and learn either basic or more advanced editing from very experienced wikipedians, so if you know anyone who would like to get some practice, please let them know - and beginners will be very welcome.

==Victor Harbor / Victor Harbour==
Hi Markhurd, there are actually six places in SA with the "Harbor" spelling, not just three. (I found this out some time ago by sending an emailed query to the Geographical Names Board. Because that would be considered "original research", I haven't bothered to make any changes to the Wikipedia articles.) The reason I was given for this spelling is that it's how the names were gazetted. Because parliamentary draughtsmen were lawyers trained in Latin, it seems that there was a mistaken assumption that the word was derived from Latin, rather than from Old English ''herebeorg'', from ''here'' troop, army + ''beorg'' shelter (Collins English Dictionary). The same spelling also occurred in the name of the Harbors Board, because that body was set up by an Act of Parliament. Given that people keep asking questions about this spelling, and come up with fanciful answers such as "errors made by an early Surveyor General of South Australia" or even "based on an early American map", it's a little surprising that the real reason hasn't come to light before; my own guess is that parliamentary draughtsmen don't like to admit to making mistakes, even those made by their predecessors. Cheers, [[User:Bahudhara|Bahudhara]] ([[User talk:Bahudhara|talk]]) 16:18, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
:{{ping|Bahudhara}}It is interesting that [[Outer Harbor]] doesn't even mention the anomaly. [[User:Markhurd|Mark Hurd]] ([[User talk:Markhurd#top|talk]]) 01:41, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

:The category has "Australia" in the title because it's main article is [[Victoria (Australia)]]. It's also a subcategory of {{cat|Victoria (Australia)}}, which used "Victoria (Australia)" consistently throughout the tree. (The category was renamed, because it was nominated at [[WP:CFDS]] and it remained unopposed for more than two days).

== New Challenge for Oceania and Australia ==

Hi, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge]] are up and running based on [[Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge]] which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon|The Africa Destubathon]], which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest!

== Fair Use in Australia campaign update ==

:I'm writing you this followup message, as [[Wikipedia:Australian_Wikipedians%27_notice_board/Archive_49#Fair_use_campaign:_next_steps|you took the time to vote in support]] of a Wikipedia banner campaign for the introduction of Fair Use in Australia. 

:After much planning and coordination with the WMF, [[w:Australian Digital Alliance|Australian Digital Alliance]], and [[w:Electronic Frontiers Australia|Electronic Frontiers Australia]], as of Monday the banner-campaign is active on English Wikipedia to a portion of logged-out readers in Australia ([[m:Talk:FairCopyrightOz#Fair Use in Australia campaign|technical details]]). The banners direct people to this page on Meta: '''[[m:FairCopyrightOz|FairCopyrightOz]]'''. That page, alongside lots of information, further directs people towards the campaign website faircopyright.org.au [https://www.faircopyright.org.au/take-action/#emailform where Australians are invited to write to their local MP to express support of Fair Use]. If you are interested in supporting this campaign, please, send a letter yourself using the template letter provided at that link.

:Furthermore, and with the support of the ADA & EFA, we have received fantastic media coverage - with article "[http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/fair-use-wikipedia-targets-australians-in-bid-to-change-the-law-20170521-gw9kzq.html Fair Use: Wikipedia targets Australians in bid to change the law]" appearing on page 2 of the Sydney Morning Herald and page 10 of the Melbourne Age on Monday's edition. It was for a time the 3rd most read article the Fairfax website, and ''Fair Use'' was "trending" on Twitter in Australia. We are running the account [https://twitter.com/faircopyrightoz @FairCopyrightOz] on twitter, and we are tracking other press-mentions [[m:Talk:FairCopyrightOz#Press mentions|on the talkpage on Meta]]. 

:Today, day 2, we published a detailed post about the campaign [https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/05/22/australia-fair-use/ on the Wikimedia Blog], ran [https://www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/6ct2w0/we_are_from_wikipedia_the_ada_and_efa_australians/ an "Ask Me Anything" Q&A session] on the Australia page in Reddit, and [by happy coincidence of timing] the article [[History of fair use proposals in Australia]] appeared on the en.wp mainpage as a ''Did You Know''. [The creation of that "history of..." article was a specific request arising from in the community consultation in which you voted].

:And, most importantly, in a little more than a day nearly 800 letters to MPs have been sent encouraging them to support the Productivity Commission's recommendation to adopt Fair Use in Australia. I urge you - '''[https://www.faircopyright.org.au/take-action/#emailform please add your own message]'''.
