Been looking over some of your Wikipedia contributions and although admirable miss a few basic foundation blocks in law.

My great uncle was personal private secretary to Curtin and Chifley and later commissioner of industrial relations. I inherited some documents (placed in secure care in the UK) which outlined the reluctance of Curtin in taking on the Westminster Adoption Act point blank. Other documents form part of my matter I have raised in the SA Supreme Court that caused a 'lock down' by chief justice kourakis and a full bench sitting on appeal to my matter.

I admire your energy and voluminous contribution to Wikipedia, BUT what day do you celebrate Australia's independence? I wrote to John Howard, and the GG, both refused to reply, so a good mate forwarded the intent of my letter to Her majesty, she requested I forward it to her. I received a reply in 8 days that ordered the GG to respond to my request. I visited London 3 months later for a cup of tea and a quite chit chat.

At that time 2004 I was National President of One Nation and with the support of several retired well known legal persons, I viewed several hundred documents proving this fact as an absolute. This was confirmed by both political and legal persons in the UK. So it became a rather large 'oups' moment for Howard but with a bit of effort he was able to shut people up. Thus:

I note that Schedule 7, Part 4 “Seditious intention”; means an intention to effect any of the following purposes: a) To bring the Sovereign into hatred or contempt; b) To urge disaffection against the following: i. The Constitution; ii. The Government of the Commonwealth; iii. Either House of the Parliament; c) To urge another person to attempt, otherwise than by lawful means, to procure a change to any matter established by law in the Commonwealth; d) To promote feelings of ill-will or hostility between different groups so as to threaten the peace, order and good government of the Commonwealth.

So I look forward to my future endeavours that will shed light on the oversight of where Australia really stands on the Independence issue and just how many Federal and State statute laws will fall once its officially recognised.

I presume this is in relation to Statute of Westminster Adoption Act 1942? I suggest you read Wikipedia:No original research. Even if
  1. the documents you refer to exist,
  2. the legal theory your position rests on is sound, and
  3. you really did have tea with Her Maj,
Wikipedia content is based on extant knowledge only. --bainer (talk) 05:01, 18 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of LS Studio

edit
 

The article LS Studio has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

It's an article about a criminal organization thinly disguised as one about a company based that is barely sourced.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

edit

  Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.
