Your changes to Strathfield, New South Wales have left the page a visual mess. Before you change photographs, because you think they look "nicer", consider if they illustrate the text. Why do you think a photograph of a recent apartment block is more indicative of a Victorian/Edwardian suburb than one of its many historic churches? I won't bother trying to improve this article as I don't wish to get into an edit war but I hope you will be less arrogant with your edits in future. Castlemate (talk) 01:04, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The image of the apartment block that also shows some of the commercial area seems to be more of a representative photo. The image of the church was transferred back to the section where it was mentioned, as you mentioned above, consider if they illustrate the text. But if you want you can put the image of the church back in the lead position and I wont change it. My main concern is all those galleries cutting through the text, they look messy and make the page harder to read. The images are available on commons, there is a link to the commons gallery at the bottom of the page. ***Adam*** (talk) 01:20, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Adam, my uninvited suggestion is not to be seen even to look like you might be following User:Sardaka around. Just saying. --Merbabu (talk) 09:51, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Good advice, and I would like to know how he just happened to turn up at Mount Solitary five minutes after I did an edit. Some people never learn.
Mount Solitary is on my watch list as I have edited this article before as is always the case. My concern is the constant stream of poor quality images that you persist on uploading. I can turn a blind eye to these and instead discuss these additions elsewhere with neutral editors first. ***Adam*** (talk) 11:08, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That's a good idea, but don't kid yourself about the poor quality images. You're the worst offender when it comes to poor quality and unnecessary images. You always have been.Sardaka (talk) 08:32, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Your wrong about that and don't bring up old images, you have already been refuted in previous arguments. Have a look at your most recent additions, I was horrified, they are bad beyond human belief. If you like I could nominate a few for a peer review. ***Adam*** (talk) 08:40, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Please do. And have a look at the shots in my latest article Albion Street, Surry Hills while you're at it, and tell me again they're poor quality. Let's clear this up once and for all. I'm getting a bit sick of being followed.
Sardaka (talk) 11:40, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sadarka, When I made the above comments I was actually referring to the photos in the Albion Street article, although I won't go into to much detail about the actual photos, I have added one as an example here. Also you say that I am following you, let me say I do not want to follow anyone but it is very hard to stand by idle and watch someone replace decent looking photos with photos that are not quite as good especially when nearly all the articles are on my watchlist. Don't I have a right to dispute this. To make things easier I will not be so trigger happy in future, next time I will state my objection either on the article talk page or on your talk page and then possibly change it at a latter date only if the articles are my watchlist, if the articles are not Sydney suburban and are not on my watchlist I wont worry about changing the photos. On the other hand If I came across photos that were taken by you that were found to be of better quality to those that were in a particular article I would be in favour of using your photos and would add them myself.
Also you brought up the fact that I have been adding poor quality images, well I would be the first person to admit that I have been adding poor quality images, but I have been trying to improve them. When they are bad I at least know that they are bad and these days if they do turn out bad I delete them off my computer, I don't upload them here. All the extremely bad photos are old photos and I am not saying that the new are all that good either but they are better than my previous efforts.
Also please explain why you have followed me on several occasions into articles that you have never edited before and would neither be on you watchlist. You also interfered with my edits in the Spring street article and went across to other articles such as Black Ice, Federation Square, Lilyfield Light rail station, Sydney Olympic Park and Barcelona Pavilion just to name a few. Now you could say that some of these are within your scope but the thing is you had never worked on these articles before and your edits were made shortly after I made my edits which means that you were going through my contributions, picking out articles and making minor changes to them to try and rile me. Can you please explain why you were doing this. ***Adam*** (talk) 00:19, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sadarka, the peer review does not involve me, it involves other people with technical experience who can comment on the photos in a professional manner. It is something that anyone can nominate there photos for to get feedback. You can go here for it Wikipedia:Picture peer review. I will respond to your other comments later on ***Adam*** (talk) 04:47, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
unusual photo
I accept that some of the Albion St shots came out badly, but I intend to fix that or nominate them for deletion (I invite you to do the same with suburban Katoomba as a sign of good faith). I don't agree with you about some of those shots being bad; I think the shot of the church is perfectly good. I think you simply don't have any taste in photography. I don't think you'd know a good shot from an arsehole.
As for following you, I have a right to keep an eye on you because you are one of my stalkers. You can always discuss it at AN/I if you want to. In the meantime, I suggest you take Merbabu's advice.
PS When did I "ïnterfere" with your Spring St edit?
I think you need to watch you language as it is becoming uncivil and no the shot of the church isn't good, please get a second opinion like I said before. I think you should remove your arsehole comment before I comment further about this and explain how this relates to your photos. As for the Spring Street article, you know what you did. Also following me could also be construed as inflammatory as I believe that is what you are trying to do. Like I said before if you photos were good I would promote them but I also have a rite to dispute them if you are using poorer quality images to replace better ones. Instead of me just reverting you we can discuss it first and then take it further with neutral editors. ***Adam*** (talk) 07:53, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have never known you to respond to attempts at discussion. JBar and I tried to discuss these things with you when you were stalking us a while back, but it was a fruitless exercise. I have also never known you to "promote" anything but your own pix, so stop pretending to be so reasonable. If you want to get third opinions, that would be a good idea, but you have never shown any inclination to do things like that. I have always found it is a waste of time trying to reason with you, so we might as well forget it right now. Just stay away from me and we'll get on fine.
Sardaka, I am staying and will stay away from you, remember you the one that's pestering me when all I want to do is clean up the articles, and no you are not being stalked it just seems that way because you are leaving a trail of excessive poor quality images across Wikipedia that need to be cleaned up. I have cleaned most of the articles up so the next stage is to take better replacement photos for the articles. I still plan on cleaning up articles and replacing poor quality images with better ones, I actually plan on taking screen shots of all Sydney suburban articles and then visiting all these places, taking photos and replacing all of them in one clean sweep and this includes all heritage house photos. When I said promote I meant to give more prominence, for example, look at the Parramatta article, I reduced the amount of photos in the article, gave it a clean up and then gave some of or at least one of your photos more prominence in the article. The photo was still of poor quality but because there were no better versions I used your photo/s, so you can see that I am not just blatantly deleting your images. You can also use the Zetland article as an example, and on other occasions I have put your images into info boxes. ***Adam*** (talk) 08:58, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's relevant as far as I'm concerned because it illustrates something in the text, and STOP following me. I was starting to think you might have learned a lesson or somnething, but obviously I was wrong. You do not own the article. Any more tampering will be disruptive editing.
This is not relevant and there is no evidence to prove where this came from or who it belonged to, it's original research. I also have a right to remove any photo's that are inappropriate or poor quality. Also there was never a lesson to be learned, if anything you are being disruptive with your poor quality images. You just don't know how bad they are. I have added an example. Also using false accusations, lies and intimidation to try and get your own way with photos in articles will not work with me. I am well within my rights and many editors will agree with my removal of your image. ***Adam*** (talk) 13:45, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia trainers requested in New South Wales[edit]
Wikimedia Australia is looking for experienced Wikipedians to help out at training sessions across New South Wales, in particular in Newcastle, Wollongong, Port Macquarie and in Parkes. If you're interested, the details are at the following link:
In case you didn't know, on 23 November, the State Library is offering us a backstage pass and we are having a WWI editathon afterwards. It would be great if you could come along with your editing skills. This is the first time that an Australian cultural institution has opened its doors to us in this way and will be a great opportunity because the Library is providing: one of its best rooms; its expert curators (along with their expertise and their white gloves); a newly launched website (containing new resources); and of course, items from its collection (including rare and usually unavailable material) which we can look at, learn from, and use, to improve WP articles. For example, on the chosen topic (Australia and WWI), the Library holds many diaries and manuscripts from the period.
As you can see from the Library's project page, they have connected this editathon with their own work. They have already set out a wide range of resources to make things easier for us. Please sign up on the editathon project page if you would like to participate. Hope to see you there!

My "response" is years late. But all the same education and enlightenment are always good and better received late than never at all. And my response is to this
[1].
I know your creed. Even staying within "Conventional History", India is one of the three cradles of this Civilization, and eons ahead of your "original" (british) ancestors in that regard. Your p*ighs*hit-originated british ancestors had not probably seen the first twilight of "evolution" back then 50 centuries ago. AND - YOUR convict ancestors were deemed UNFIT even by those p*igs*hit-originated british standards - says something about you! Your dirty british ancestors caused ten famines in India and destroyed the agriculture sector in India. That in turn caused the rest of the economy to collapse. All for their own benefit. OVER AND ABOVE tons of our looted art lies in british museums. As a Greek friend of mine, who has been going around complimenting the british (compliments by scummy british standards i.e.) on the Net said, "there will be NOTHING worthwhile left in that s*hithole britain if they were to return everything that was stolen by them". Oh the s*hitbrits forgot; they COMPLETELY forgot; or actually never got a wind of it; the GREATEST and LARGEST and MOST MASSIVE TREASURE of pure Gold and Precious Stones in all of "Conventional History" anywhere and anytime; that of a Hindu Temple lying in the Deep South of India and that is millions of times ANYTHING the brits could even DREAM of in countless lives.
YOU have the bloody temerity, you dirty p*igs*hitfaced momma fcuker, to try and push through your dirty propaganda on that page. AND you talk of "not immigrating to your country". Which country??? That s*hithole that you utterly hideously ugly p*ig-faced aussies populate? Have never been there. And will probably sent some of my dumplings there if anything. Visiting India now on an official visit, I happened to chance upon this page, and seeing this s*hit from a descendant of THAT VERY creed that hurt my nation and my people! AND you tell Indians not to enter your s*hithole or the mother of all s*hitholes britain?! But the US is none of your bloody business. I studied there, am working there, and am engaged to my American girl to be married next Spring. THAT is none of your business.
Your british race is considered like s*hit everywhere outside britain. AND there have been tons of educated White (non-Mediterranean type) Americans in NYC, that have said that the only reason that the u.k was saved from being a little better than Sub-Saharan Africa, was their consistent looting of India. AND, rest assured, we will take back our Kohinoor and every other artifact lying in the musuems of the mother-of-all-s*hitholes. Anyway, Indians are getting closer and closer to owning the mother-of-all-s*hitholes, to the extent that they have even branded this "reverse-colonialism".
Ah now THAT is british class. YOU suck the blood, and then point to the very person whose blood you sucked, and paint him as inferior. BUT people know the past. That your have come from s*hit. And that you were the person that is the cause for that misery. Such hypocrisy and deviousness are the prerogative of scummy races like yours anyway, that graduated from sleeping on rocks only yesterday, to grunt the way you do now. No wonder you aussies' mommas and wives and sis are such hoes of the lowest pedigree. Yuch you remove those s*hit-like puke-inducing snaps of your s*hit-like mug and fcuk off to hell now. 117.194.254.10 (talk) 14:00, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
