Hi lanblair23,
If your page MOVIE ONE intends to discuss the whole Australian TV Movie Channel system, it should probably be on a page titled Movie Network (Australian). On Wikipedia, we try to title pages after the general topic, not one part of the topic.
Thanks for joining Wikipedia! Alba 03:52, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Hi there, and welcome to Wikipedia. I'm sorry to say that some of the things you recently wrote are nominated for deletion. Please don't take it personal! There's an article called Wikipedia is not, which shows that 'WP is not a crystal ball'. People are often uncomfortable about articles on future events, such as the 2006 Commonwealth games. However, your contributions on past or current events in the Commonwealth would be much appreciated! Yours, Radiant _* 12:20, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
Hi, I see you are uploading lost of logos related to the Commonwealth Games, a few things you should note: the prefered format for images is .jpg, all those images will need to be tagged to provide copyright information for other users, I suggest where you are uploading images that are logos you tag them with {{logo}}. Thanks -- nixie 06:45, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Songs should be in quotes not italics - see Style Guide. I have reverted. HelenWatt 06:09, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
Hi there, I recently came across a few images of logos from Australian TV shows you uploaded and tagged as being licensed under the GFDL. This is incorrect, as these logos are copyrighted and only the copyright holder can release the image under the GFDL. As nixie pointed out above, there is a tag for claiming fair use of a copyrighted logo: {{logo}}. For other copyrighted pictures for which you are claiming fair use, you can use the {{fairuse}} tag. Other tags are listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. I've taken the liberty of correcting the most recent batch you mistagged. I urge you to go through the photos you've uploaded and add appropriate tags for all of them, though (see Wikipedia:Untagged images for reasons why). Thanks, Eliot 18:37, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

Hello. Please remember to always provide an edit summary. Thanks and happy edits. Alphax τ ε χ 06:56, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for steering me to the song template. However, it appears that the page didn't have a true 'template' in the Wikipedia sense, just a format that people wanted to standardize upon. I've gone ahead and created a template based upon that format at Template:Song infobox, and incorporated that template at Imagine (song). If you edit that page, you'll see that it is now a lot easier to put in that standardized format. Cheers. -- Arcadian 13:11, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
use [[Category:2006 Commonwealth Games]] as your category. Using 2006 in sport or Commonwealth Games is not helpful if everyone did that for say, the Olympics... 67.68.223.250 11:54, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
Hello! Sorry to bother you, but since you voted on the earlier CSD proposal about unremarkable bands, it would be appreciated if you cast your vote for this version. It has been reworded to address concerns raised against the earlier wording. Please take a look at it and consider if you support or oppose it. Yours, R adiant _>|< 08:52, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
Abt. your edit to Wikipedia:User categorisation regarding Australia, I appreciate your help! However, the links you striked and emboldened are not actually finished as far as the tasks outlined in the User Categorisation project. The Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Australia page, once this has been completed, should simply point to the new category. Nothing should be lost - that is, everything currently on the Wikipedians/Australia page should migrate to somewhere inside the Category:Australian Wikipedians page. Also, I didn't actually check in-depth, but every single user listed on the Wikipedians/Australia page should either have their Talk pages altered or their user page altered so they can be included in the new system (not to undo past categorization by thousands of users). Thanks again for your help, I just thought I would let you know that the pages you marked as being finished aren't actually finished yet. -- thereverendeg 02:53, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
Hi. Could you make sure that the page Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Australia is moved to the new Category page? I don't want the history of that page (which extends back a very long way) to be lost by a copy-and-paste move. - Mark 13:40, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for your vote of support on my recent RfA. I was quite surprised by the amount of support I received, and wish to extend my thanks to you for taking the time to support my nomination for adminship. -- Longhair | Talk 12:12, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
As per my move, I believe that MacKillop Catholic College should have ACT in its title to disambiguate it from other MacKillop Catholic Colleges. It had already been confused with one in Victoria as per the incorrect web link. Moving and removing is very confusing and will now proabbly have to be fixed by an admin.-- AYArktos 22:45, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
Because, for some reason, the html coding for that diff ends in "&diff=0", which will always be the most recent edit to the page. Why it does that I don't know, it's a mistake. In any case, in case there's any confusion, I certainly don't mean to imply your edit was vandalism. Slac speak up! 06:35, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

I thought it would be useful to have a discussion about what we expect to see in an Australian school stub - for example, perhaps the minimum standard of a stub article should include location and level of school, ... and further what criteria we should use to destub an article. For example for destubbing of Australian geography stubs see Category talk:Australia geography stubs. I thought the best place for the discussion would be on the category discussion page. Regards-- AYArktos 22:31, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
Don't you think these are just a bit short? Doing a little bit of research wouldn't hurt, and having seen your stuff in the past, I know you can do a lot better than these not-awfully-useful substubs. Ambi 10:00, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
When you are creating the new pages, could you please take a second to check that the council seat entry in the lga box is a link. In the ones I added recently, I made sure they were links so they could be simply pasted into the new council articles, but there were some already filled as just text which I didn't fix at the time. JPD 09:45, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
Done. Just let me know if there's any others that need doing. :) Ambi 10:06, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your work on correcting the wikilinks for movies based on novels, etc. I caught one small, ambiguous mistake ( League of the South), but the other Gone with the Wind (film) dabs that I checked looked good. That kind of routine editing work really helps the project. Cheers, - Willmcw 02:06, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
Remove the quotation mark before the last ). That should make it work. Also, if the user has more than 174 days on which they edited, then the $B$175 notation needs to be increased an appropriate amount. -- Durin 13:41, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

I noticed that you polished this external link:
It's one of many similar links to the same website, which seems to have a large amount of advertising. I posted a "no spam" message on the talk page of the editor who added the link, and am mulling over whether to remove the added links. Any thoughts? - Willmcw 23:15, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

May I just say that these templates are awesome. I've been meaning to do something like this (perhaps along the lines of the American timetable articles) for ages, but quite gotten around to it. I just wonder if it might be better to limit them to the Australian programs, however; this wouldn't scale particularly well if every station added a template to some of the popular American programs.

I'm pleased to inform you that you are now an administrator. Please consider reading all the material on the administrators' reading list before testing out your new privileges. Though everything you do, excluding image deletions and page history merges, is reversible, you should nevertheless be very careful with your sysop capabilities. For instructions, please see the administrators' how-to guide. Good luck! — Dan | Talk 03:14, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Hey, I noticed you have edited this page in the past. Would you mind having a look at this latest edit, if it hasn't already been reverted? Figuring out what is NPOV in cases like this just pains me. (Yeah, I'm chickening out, but I figure someone should look at it.) The anon seems to be pretty good WP:FAITH, so maybe they just haven't wrapped their head around WP:V and WP:NPOV. Or maybe it's all valid and it's me with the problem. Ack! See! This is why I'm handballing it to you. :)

Which do you think make better newspaper covers for Wikipedia articles: covers with major stories (including extra-large headlines, black borders, coloured banners, etc. as happened after 9/11 or the Cronulla riots), or covers that reflect what a newspaper would typically look like on any given day? I would choose the latter -- even though those covers are more mundane, at least they're more realistic. Would you protest if I replaced the December 12 images with those from more "ordinary" editions? -- Humehwy 05:54, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi Ian, I wasn't sure about what was correct convention regarding capitalising the "I" in "Is" but that sounds fine.

I -
I'm about to put some questions on your RfA under the "comments" section. Take your time, and maybe pass your answers by someone else before commiting them to paper electrons.

You're not supposed to edit user pages. Only talk pages.
You forgot to sign your acceptance. -- DS1953 talk 16:13, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
I'm glad to see the admin nomination is going well - I think you'll do a fine job. Thanks for the concern about exams; finally, they're over, and I think I passed, which in the circumstances makes me very happy. :)
Those templates look good to me - have you started putting them on articles yet? Ambi 03:18, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
I'm pleased to inform you that you are now an administrator. Please consider reading all the material on the administrators' reading list before testing out your new privileges. Though everything you do, excluding image deletions and page history merges, is reversible, you should nevertheless be very careful with your sysop capabilities. For instructions, please see the administrators' how-to guide. Good luck! — Dan | Talk 03:14, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
I'd like to thank you for your support of my RfA, and to congratulate you on your promotion. As I wrote, I was looking forward to feedback from the community, and I would like to let you know that you should please feel free to leave any further feedback for me you may have for me in the future at my Talk page. Thanks again. Jkelly 08:44, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
Ian,
Thanks so very much for supporting my Request for Admin. The final result was 38/0/0. I'm looking forward to spending my summer holidays shut away in a darkened room, drinking G&Ts and playing with my new tools ;-) Please accept this Tim Tam as a token of my gratitude. Cnwb 22:58, 4 December 2005 (UTC)Did you notice the new changes to Municipality of Strathfield? Great stuff! - Ta bu shi da yu 14:04, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Ian, thanks for your support on my RfA. The final count was 46/0/0. I hope I'll live up to your faith in me in my use of the mop and bucket. Please accept this wikithanks as a token of my gratitude ;) -- bainer ( talk) 00:56, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Why did you change my edit? It is as valid as the recent comment on his right wing leanings. 203.19.11.64 14:09, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
Hey, I noticed you have edited this page in the past. Would you mind having a look at this latest edit, if it hasn't already been reverted? Figuring out what is NPOV in cases like this just pains me. (Yeah, I'm chickening out, but I figure someone should look at it.) The anon seems to be pretty good WP:FAITH, so maybe they just haven't wrapped their head around WP:V and WP:NPOV. Or maybe it's all valid and it's me with the problem. Ack! See! This is why I'm handballing it to you. :)
cheers, pfctdayelise 15:00, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Wiki birthday, dear
Ianblair23! Wiki birthday to you!

Which do you think make better newspaper covers for Wikipedia articles: covers with major stories (including extra-large headlines, black borders, coloured banners, etc. as happened after 9/11 or the Cronulla riots), or covers that reflect what a newspaper would typically look like on any given day? I would choose the latter -- even though those covers are more mundane, at least they're more realistic. Would you protest if I replaced the December 12 images with those from more "ordinary" editions? -- Humehwy 05:54, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi Ian, I wasn't sure about what was correct convention regarding capitalising the "I" in "Is" but that sounds fine. I'm still going through fixing links to other articles, so I'll do them as "A Star Is Born" from now on and hopefully over the next few days all the articles/links will be right. thanks Rossrs 02:39, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
Sorry to bother but can you take a look at this [1]. I didn't see this name on the list. It is near the bottom of the Babel Template. Saw that you are possibly online via filter changes and think it might need admin attention.-- Dakota ? e 03:37, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi there, just wanting your opinion on whether Newtown High School of the Performing Arts is a "selective high school"? User:Joestella says that it is, but I disagree with him: see User_talk:Joestella#Newtown_High_School_of_the_Performing_Arts_2. I guess it goes back to what we should include as a "selective school"? In its current form, it includes academically selective only I would say? enochlau ( talk) 01:37, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Any more thoughts on dividing the state school pages, as discussed at WP:AWNB? Ambi 23:21, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Merry Christmas to you as well mate! It's been a fantastic year on Wikipedia, I gotta say :) Ta bu shi da yu 06:57, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
