Delete. Geogre, you are a sorry deletionist! This is clearly from the game "Pokemon from Middle Earth meet Duke Nukem in Yoknapatawpha County", a game avidly played by as many as three men not in a boat and one dog! How dare you consider this unworthy of Wikipedia when such meaningless articles as Lenin, Catholic Church, and Periodic Table continue to waste space? By the way, I consider any refutation of my screed a personal attack and will refactor any response to make it look like you wrote, "orthogonal is the True Pope". -- orthogonal 19:50, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[he brought up the Freedom of Information Act after being told by the arbitrators that they wouldn't tell him the exact results of a CheckUser search]

Um, but it does require it to be released. Its covered by the Freedom of Information Act, and is law. It also applies to the internet. The only question is whether or not it is to be released publicly. I can look up the applicable law as it applies to the United States, but I am pretty confident that its basically identical to Australia's. It is a law that exists in all "western" countries, and is a part of Freedom of Speech. Ergo, they don't have a choice about releasing it. They are forced to. And yes, they really are. In fact, they'd be forced to no matter what their privacy policy said. They privacy policy is merely reflecting what the law is.

Did the Australian aboriginals arrived from Africa by air?

I am basically interested in India and Hinduism. The mention in the article of the older than 30,000 years (the more conservative dating) human occupation of Australia and similar old dating only in Africa intrugues me. Did humans passed through India, etc. on their way from Africa to Australia, or they travelled by air? If not by air, then many lands should have a dating older than 30,000 years, it is just that these have not been found? Aupmanyav 08:55, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Penal... (from Talk:Australia)

I know I'm being really picky here, but the word 'penal' is mentioned twice in one paragraph in the introduction. This is enough to put me off the article at large, and I'm sure some other people have noticed it. Can someone please rectify this? Because I CBF. Black-Velvet 12:07, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

It's used in two linked phrases which really wouldn't convey the same meaning otherwise. Out of curiosity, why does it put you off? --bainer (talk) 13:30, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

The first three letters, and it sounds like an adjective for something not censored for minors. 124.178.27.241 13:37, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

It does seem a bit odd to say it was a penal colony as well as it was settled through penal transportation, but to object to the word itself because it sounds like something else is completely ridiculous. JPD (talk) 13:48, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

A solution may be to have a dictionary on hand when you read an article. Xtra 14:08, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I am just imagining someone reading the article and being very confused about Australia's early history with all these "penile colonies" we had. I guess that explains the origins of the Mardi Gras! -- Chuq 23:47, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
