Note discussion of massacre - unverified so far - at Talk:Gundagai, New South Wales--A Y Arktos\^talk 21:42, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

'SOMEONE' who should learn not to fiddle, changed 'colonials' to Europeans. If you have a flamin doctorate, leave stuff alone if you dont know what u are on about. How do u know they were all from europe. You are in lah lah land. I guess all who came through Yass heading south got asked to show their passport so of course they were all Europeans were they. There was just one way to get to gundagai in those days like there is today so of course the origins of all were known. Grrrrrrrrrrr. Port Phillip and all points east and west was Napoleon's Land. Now who was in bed with the French in that era. I'd not call them Europeans. Stop vandalising pages here.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.54.9.202 (talk • contribs) 20:26, 9 July 2006 (UTC+10 hours)

On the Wikipedia it is generally called European settlement - see for example Indigenous Australians#Before European settlement. Referring to me as a vandal breaches WP:NPA - the next time you attack any wikipedian you will be blocked and all subsequent attempts to edit from any similar IP will also be blocked for 24 hours as you have been warned previously. --A Y Arktos\^talk 10:36, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Don't threaten me. Having vandal bots attack net users is what vandalism is and that is what has been happening. Anyone who has 'tools' needs to learn to use them with discretion as attacking people on the Internet with 'tools' is not an action that is admired or will win anyone any kudos from anyone who does not choose to go on like that. I can go get a full kitbag of 'tools' also but dont. Its stupid bullying stuff like that ends up causing DoS attacks etc and the Internet is better off without it. Some wik admins need to step back a bit and take a deep breath. Its just largely an ego/power thing anyway. This whole claim that vandal attacks are happening is just a furphy put around by some admins it seems so you can then go act tough with your silly tools. Its what happens when people gets tools that are available all over the Internet to anyone so they are not some special token of your status her ebeleive it or not. Are 'wikipedians' wiki admins belonging to some sort of realm defended by bags of 'tools'. That is a stupid image to put forward and makes me seriously doubt your maturity. Try growing up a bit as, as a contributor here I really do not need to hear such babyish carry ons.

I dont give two hoots what stuff is called on wikipedia if that desription changes the reality of the content being posted. Messing up pages is vandalism. Wikipedia is not the authority of what goe sup here remember. Its just the vehicle that holds the content. Wikipedia does not exist to change history, but to be a repository for it. If you think that as a admin you can change stuff like that here that I have posted messing up the whole meaning of what that was about, you need to think again as you are acting outside the integrity of the content wik claims it seeks to present. "European settlement" leaves out all from the rest of the world who might have also been around at this really significant phase in Australia's 'contact' story so its a really narrow world view to run with.

You need to learn some 'people skills' or you should hand those tools back.

Are u going to cut off southern nsw's access to wiki. Big threat. Not many would post here I dont think. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.54.186.90 (talk • contribs) .

The DonT page needs totally rewriting as some baby editors here have written its story as a fairy story rther than notign the real story of the monument. Very sad that this is the level of presentation of what is an amazing story. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.54.9.247 (talk) 08:25, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
