- Dear HiLo48,
- Your on going critiquing of my Dinner Plain sourced entries are judgemental, condescending and xenophobic. To state my entry is child like, a cheap tourist guide and for non English speaking readers is offensive. I choose to use straight talking rather than academic jargon as it appeals to the greater populous. Now it’s referencing akin to academic assignment marking guide.
- I would appreciate very much since you are so fond of providing links for beginners if you could furnish me with a link to make a formal complaint regarding your unprofessional conduct on the following grounds;
- - Attitude to new members and lack of advanced communication skills
- - Offensive referencing of non English speaking Australians
- - Elitist comments re people looking for discounted holidays in todays economic climate
- - Investigate if their is a conflict of interest regarding Dinner Plain
- - Not changing the Census from 2016 as it showed a greater population than 2021
- - If this is the face of Wikipedia then you are judgemental and offensive Open formulation (talk) 04:30, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
- Drop the paranoia. I did not revert your change to the population figure. Wikipedia has rules. Referencing MUST follow a formal structure. Just try reading Help:Referencing for beginners. If you need help, let me know. HiLo48 (talk) 06:52, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
- The paranoid is on your side of things. Reverting the population figure wasn’t necessary because it’s on the public record. You were happy for it to remain uncorrected for 9 years, for someone who purports to be so by the rules you missed that error yet scrutinise mine with a fine tooth comb.
- Your arrogance continues unabated and your help in particular is not welcome. Open formulation (talk) 07:24, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

Per our discussion at Talk:Dinner Plain, here are some links to get you started. I suggest starting with the "Introduction" link at the top, but all of them have things you might find useful. The Help:Referencing for beginners page that HiLo linked above is also useful. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 00:21, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

- Hello, thank you for reaching out that was extremely quick. Yes I read the guidelines and felt the explanation of the link describing the architecture and its origines would be ok. But you think not? Open formulation (talk) 02:30, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
