P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).


A "fan of trivia", eh? Careful, now, nothing here is trivia, everything here was written by some serious human being who supposedly wasn't being paid to write it and thought it was worth writing!!
I enjoyed watching TV coverage of the Olympics in Sydney, especially the marathons. My current interest in that area is working out how to group 40-odd local authority areas in meaningful subcategories for the Zeal States & Territories path here: http://www.zeal.com/category/preview.jhtml?cid=10148967 - neither trivia nor general knowledge, really, so I won't pester you to help!

Collingwood (suburb) and neutral point of view

[edit]

Dear Matt,

I really appreciated you adding a sentence about Collingwood the suburb.

I would like to see more integration between the football team, and the suburb. I do not think the second sentence (or half-sentence): "Many jokes..." is conducive to a 'neutral point of view' on Wikipedia.

Do you mind if I edit thus so it's more consistent with that value?

There's a lot about working-class Collingwood and John Wren, I believe, who lived there.

Sincerely,
