Please do not add or change content, as you did to Laurie Patton, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 10:47, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Dear Melcous,

The entry Laurie Patton is about me. It was created by a webmaster who has regrettably died. I made the recent changes attributable to InternetAU. They are true and correct, as U.S. All the other content. Alas I do not know how to add citations or what confirmation I can provide other than to state that I made the changes and they are true. Please let me know if this explanation is insufficient.

Regards LAURIE PATTON

Hi Laurie, here are some links to some wikipedia policies which you should read if you wish to edit the article in the future. First, this one about having a Conflict of Interest which you clearly do if the article is about you. You need to know about this particularly because wikipedia articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. In terms of add citations, it is not enough to say that you know something is true (even if it is about you), it still needs to be backed up by citations to published sources. This link gives information on what counts as a reliable source on wikipedia, and this one about how to cite sources. Thanks. Melcous (talk) 23:36, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

OK. Got it. Is there any chance that you could do me a big favour and just put it back the way it was before I was silly enough to change it? Clearly my technical skills are not up to being a Wiki editor and I should leave it alone! I'd really appreciate it if you could do this for me. The listing has been there for about a decade. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.211.70.114 (talk) 00:10, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Requested username:

new username (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

Internet Australia (AKA the Internet Society of Australia) is the recognized peak organization representing Australian Internet users. We have recently submitted, and had accepted, a new entry under the title Internet Australia to describe our work. We have also confirmed COI with respect to our CEO who is also listed in Wikipedia. We would like to be unblocked so that we can update both entries from time to time so that they are up to date. We undertake to ensure that all future edits comply with Wikipedia editing standards InternetAU (talk) 03:14, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You are required to choose a new username to replace your existing one, which is intrinsically promotional. To do this change the text in your request from "new username" to the name you want to use (the name "new username", if that was intended as a request, is already in use). Before you are unblocked you will need to clarify your repeated use of the word "we" in your request, as Wikipedia accounts must be accessed only by a single person.--Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 10:48, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

your bio

Hello. Please don't take it personally. Wikipedia has notability guidelines and requires independent reliable verifications also - see WP:Policies and guidelines. Please ask yourself, are you really notable or is the company you work for notable? Have a lot of independent reliable sources written about your life details? If the answer is no then please understand, you warrant a mention in your company article but you don't warrant a wikipedia biography about your life. Regards - Govindaharihari (talk) 05:37, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Govindaharihari| Nothing personal taken, but to answer your questions. Yes, there is ample material on the world wide web about me stretching back twenty years. I don't currently represent a company I run an not-for-profit organization that represents everyone in Australia who uses the Internet. I have appeared before parliamentary reviews and been written about in that context. I was brought in to head up the Internet Society of Australia on the basis of my notoriety; specifically for having undertaken a major review of Indigenous broadcasting for the Australian Government and brokering a significant deal that avoided the certain demise for the National Indigenous Television channel (NITV). I also created and headed up the Australian Community Television Alliance and on behalf of all the community TV stations in Australia I lobbied the Australian Government and against many people's expectation secured access to a digital channel without which community TV would have ceased to exist. At one point someone unknown to me added me to the list of notable Australian television executives. When I look at some of the others on that list and more generally at some of the other people who have entries on Wikipedia I respectfully and as humbly as possible suggest that I am not out of place on Wikipedia in comparison. I hope this helps avoid my being deleted after ten years and wuold be happy to help substantiate what is on my site. If necessary I can certainly get others to do so too. Thanks InternetAU (talk) 07:06, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

Requested username:

Intersoc (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

My current user name "InternetAU" has been deemed to be promotional. So I have chosen a new user name "LongruiAU". I have recently requested and had approved a new entry fro Internet Australia and I am keen to assist Wikipedia by keeping it and other relevant sites up to dateInternetAU (talk) 09:47, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Accept reason:

Allowing username change to requested username. Please put this request in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. PhilKnight (talk) 21:31, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

I do not wish to appear to be awkward; is your chosen new name "Intersoc" or "LongruiAU"? You have used the first suggestion in the correct place in your unblock request, but then have asked for the second option in the text of your request.--Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 13:40, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Sorry for the confusion Anthony. Could we please go with "Intersoc"? Thank you. InternetAU (talk) 22:42, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
