Warren Thomson

Hi. I saw a death notice in today's Age newspaper (26 Feb), then discovered his WP page has already been updated. But the dates 18 or 19 February do not appear online, anywhere I can find. Even the fact of his death seems unknown to Google. What was your source? Also for his date of birth 2 August 1935? Cheers. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 03:01, 26 February 2015 (UTC) Hi Jack. I got my information from his death notice in the Sydney Morning Herald, but firstly from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music Facebook page and Sydney Con web site Gontroppo (talk) 23:13, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Washington Square, the song

Greetings. Back in the Stone Age (2009) you edited the article, enumerating its tempo and something about its use as a religious composition, but with no references to back the info. I hope you have some refs, otherwise I'll remove the info, eventually. If you want to do something interesting, play Midnight in Moscow, Washington Square, and "Celestial Soda Pop" from the album Deep Breakfast by Ray Lynch one after the other. All similar. Regards Tapered (talk) 07:26, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Gontroppo: A reminder. Please give source for you the source for your contributions to Washington Square (composition). Tapered (talk) 02:36, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

hi. im not sure if this is how i reply, here. I can't give citations of anything in print about the use of Washington Square as a tune for The Lord's My Shepherd. It is based on my own personal experience in churches and church camps in Newcastle, Sydney and the Blue Mountains (all places in New South Wales, Australia). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.240.67.177 (talk) 07:56, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a numerical reply fr/ Gontroppo, that's original research, and needs to be eliminated, factual or otherwise. Very sorry. Tapered (talk) 11:43, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Incumbent updating

In the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Prime_Ministers_of_Australia_by_time_in_office the incumbent prime minister's time in office doesn't seem to be updating. Does this happen automatically, or does someone do it manually? Gontroppo (talk) 23:20, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
