I have decided that its time for me to move on. My first edit was 5½ years ago in October 2003 which doesn't seem that long ago, so I suppose that's evidence that I enjoyed myself. I met some terrific people along the way and have learnt a lot. I may or may not return occasionally, but I have resolved that if I do so it will only be after some time and it will be with a new identity—those who know me will work it out I'm sure.
Why? I'm just burnt out and have lost my enthusiasm. I've had a couple of shortish breaks recently and didn't find myself much refreshed on my return, so a new start may be what's needed.
To my mates at WP:WA: I'm always available for a pizza/coffee/beer and a chat. You have my email. To them especially and to everyone else I know, good luck and best wishes.
Some housekeeping matters:

After editing for a few days after the announcement - I has struck me that it is a sign of the unreplacable nature of such an editor - someone so scrupulous with facts, and with the policies, dedicated, and always there - on wiki and off - as a support and sounding board. It is not simply a loss to the projects to whom he gave such valuable effort and time, but a very timely and poignant move - that we are only here (some of us) because of the supportive subcommunity that we have been able to work with.
Now that I know more people who have left wikipedia, than I currently relate to - I believe in time we have to acknowedge how real life in most cases is far more important than wikipedia - but also we should be a lot more supportive to those who earn the equiavelnt level of respect that Moondyne did in all the projects he contributed to. Who knows what happens tommorrow. Satu Suro 05:18, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
I have reviewed your GAN of Palace Hotel, Perth, and have placed the article on hold. I did the review prior to seeing that you retired, but I figured I'd still leave a message here in case you wanted to finish the article before you fully retired. I will also leave a message on the related WikiProject talk pages if you will be unable to assist with the article. The majority of the changes should be easy to fix and shouldn't take too long.

Thanks for uploading File:Perth Modern School logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 05:05, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey Moondyne, I apoligise for any annoyance I caused. I had/have been slowly working along creating Louis Vuitton Cup articles and approached the move from that point of view rather than one of spiting the original article. Also, the America's Cup technically only refers to the race between the defender and the challenger and I think the changes I made have made make the 1987 article fit better alongside the other America's Cup articles.

I noticed at Kent Music Report there is a delinking of his Australian Chartbook website with the note:
David Kent's Australian Chart Book website <!--(www.austchartbook.com.au)--> <small>(CAUTION: website appeared to be hosting a [[Trojan horse (computing)|trojan malware]] program as at June 2009.)</small>
Could you check David Kent for Trojan malaware? I don't know how to check for these, but the article uses the same webiste in a number of references: de-link as necessary.
Furthermore a wikisearch indicates 79 appearances of the website: perhaps a bot is needed to convert these? Shaidar cuebiyar ( talk) 01:31, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I wasn't aware that a style manual existed for megalitres so that is fine to change them. The important thing is to ensure that the measurement is consistent for all desal plant articles - I've found that the Sydney Water external sites measure it in gigalitres per year and the Perth plant measures it in metres cubed per day. In other words, the external links themselves make it confusing to compare. I made the decision to put the measurement in million litres per day but if the style guide prefers a different measurement then I'm happy with that, just so long as the figures allow readers to compare the size of plants easily.
In order to come up with the million litres/day figure I had to do some calculations, so it may be wise to check the original external links to find more accurate figures. Thanks! -- One Salient Oversight ( talk) 06:15, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Wingspr.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following

Hello! I have asked for another opinion at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Apparent_AfD_trolling.3F after noticing a flurry of rapid fire copy and pastes concerning articles actively being worked on that do not seem to consider these efforts at improvement. I strongly encourage you to more carefully consider individual articles and what is happening to them rather than just copy and pasting what doesn't accurately apply to all of those under discussion, some maybe, but not really all and thus the approach seems indiscriminate if not pointed.

Hello Moondyne, and thank you for your recent comments. I sincerely apologize for my recent error. I joined Wikipedia a year ago, but I am still learning my way around, and obviously have a long way to go. Please allow me to explain what I think happened.
I came across the Ticket of Leave page last night, and someone had previously posted a suggestion for the page to be disambiguated (it contained 2 different subjects on the same page). I saw this as an opportunity for me to help the project, and also to gain some valuable experience in doing what is probably a routine task.
This is the first time I have attempted such a task, and needless to say, I screwed it up beyond belief. When I tried to revert my changes, I got a message that they could not be undone! So I was at the keyboard until 0530 this AM, manually fixing every link I could find.
With respect to "piping the links": this is a new concept for me, but I can and will pipe all the links in the exact manner you have suggested. Are you sure this is the best way to handle this change? The only reason I ask, is that I do not want to have to go back and do a third round of changes after I have completed that task. I would like to get this valuable lesson behind me and move on ASAP.
Once I have completed fixing all the links I can find, I will attempt to fix the attribution of the authorship of the 2 Ticket of Leave pages. I suppose I will have to do this by placing a note on the each of the two "Talk" pages. It is not and was never my intent to claim credit for authorship of either of the new pages; this really was just an honest error. As far as I can tell, the Ticket of Leave page was created by Hesperian at 03:47 on 08 December 2004. Am I correct? I am sure you understand that right now, my greatest fear is compounding my previous errors even more.
I humbly ask for your help with this task, and a little friendly mentoring would be tremendously appreciated. It is my sincere intent to be an upstanding member of the Wikipedia community. Some day I hope to be in a position to help other Wikipedians extract themselves from this kind of mess. DiverDave ( talk) 15:25, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
Hello again Moondyne. I have just finished correcting all the links I could find. I have also written a note on the "Talk" pages for the newly disambiguated "Ticket of leave" pages. This has been a misadventure which I do not care to repeat. Thanks again for your help. I have included below the text of the apology I wrote on Hesperian's Talkpage:
Hello Hesperian. I made an error yesterday, while attempting to disambiguate a page that I believe you created. The new page ticket of leave has been erroneously credited to me as the author instead of you. Moondyne alerted me to my mistake, and I have done everything in my present capacity to make it right. At his suggestion, I have added a note on the "Talk" page, indicating that you are the actual author of that page. Please let me know if there is anything else I can or should do to repair my transgression. It was never my intention to falsely claim credit; this was simply an honest mistake by an inexperienced but otherwise honorable Wikipedian. Thanks for your help, and also for your understanding. DiverDave ( talk) 16:59, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Have noticed that an editor, User:Nouse4aname, has recently moved GANGgajang to Ganggajang, when I attempted to revert the move the user cited 'Correct capitalisation as per WP:MOSTM and WP:NC'. I've checked WP:NC and it would appear that based on the overarching objectives, using the most easily recognized name; using the mane most prevalent in reliable sources; and using the name most readers are likely to search by that the article should be GANGgajang not Ganggajang. I've also had a look at WP:NC (common names) which would seem to support my view - anyhow I was hoping that some people who are older and wiser than me might be able to give some clear directions on the correct name for this article.

As ever I am forever grateful to your for your help - may your day be a good one - it is very odd sleeping in a room that has been polish nationalist, gestapo/ss, nkvd that is on the top of a death deciding cellar - perhaps the fortuitous little direction finding duck that failed me in getting out of manchester and other similar locations in the uk in less than 3 goes - has flown me to a place that needed identifying... my re-reading after the horrible start (to the stub that is) says that it was built for the poles who wanted to have a polish silesia and it had some very famous krakowians who supported its establishment - then the gestapo used it for their bureaucratic needs - in all probability it was an office area that was used for the paper work for the part of the final solution business - and then the nkvd probably used it as a follow up to the polish free people to send them off to the grave (in russia) as well - and yet it doesnt show up in the feel good stuff about krakow. The name of the street was enough to give any ww2 era citizens/survivors the creeps as it was where they knew of people being killed or sorted to send to the camps that are not so well known.

I agree with you on all counts and I apologise if you got the impression that I wasn't assuming good faith. My only remaining point of contention here is that an edit summary with "spelling and grammar" implies spelling and grammar, not rewording the said section to portray it's subject matter in a different light. You reworded the section, altered words, replaced words with other words and the effect of this was that it portrayed the subject matter of the given section in a light different than that which it was portrayed in previous to that edit. The genuine grammar and spelling fixes are more than welcomed, but be careful not to alter the text in doing so. If you've got any problems with the content itself or the way in which it portrayed the subject matter initially, then I should refer you to your own advice of not reverting the edits in question, rather, do as I have done and discuss it on the article's talk page.

I have decided that its time for me to move on. My first edit was 5½ years ago in October 2003 which doesn't seem that long ago, so I suppose that's evidence that I enjoyed myself. I met some terrific people along the way and have learnt a lot. I may or may not return occasionally, but I have resolved that if I do so it will only be after some time and it will be with a new identity—those who know me will work it out I'm sure.
Why? I'm just burnt out and have lost my enthusiasm. I've had a couple of shortish breaks recently and didn't find myself much refreshed on my return, so a new start may be what's needed.
To my mates at WP:WA: I'm always available for a pizza/coffee/beer and a chat. You have my email. To them especially and to everyone else I know, good luck and best wishes.

After editing for a few days after the announcement - I has struck me that it is a sign of the unreplacable nature of such an editor - someone so scrupulous with facts, and with the policies, dedicated, and always there - on wiki and off - as a support and sounding board. It is not simply a loss to the projects to whom he gave such valuable effort and time, but a very timely and poignant move - that we are only here (some of us) because of the supportive subcommunity that we have been able to work with.
Now that I know more people who have left wikipedia, than I currently relate to - I believe in time we have to acknowedge how real life in most cases is far more important than wikipedia - but also we should be a lot more supportive to those who earn the equiavelnt level of respect that Moondyne did in all the projects he contributed to.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hey Moondyne, I apoligise for any annoyance I caused. I had/have been slowly working along creating Louis Vuitton Cup articles and approached the move from that point of view rather than one of spiting the original article. Also, the America's Cup technically only refers to the race between the defender and the challenger and I think the changes I made have made make the 1987 article fit better alongside the other America's Cup articles.

Could you check David Kent for Trojan malaware? I don't know how to check for these, but the article uses the same webiste in a number of references: de-link as necessary.

I wasn't aware that a style manual existed for megalitres so that is fine to change them. The important thing is to ensure that the measurement is consistent for all desal plant articles - I've found that the Sydney Water external sites measure it in gigalitres per year and the Perth plant measures it in metres cubed per day. In other words, the external links themselves make it confusing to compare. I made the decision to put the measurement in million litres per day but if the style guide prefers a different measurement then I'm happy with that, just so long as the figures allow readers to compare the size of plants easily.
In order to come up with the million litres/day figure I had to do some calculations, so it may be wise to check the original external links to find more accurate figures. Thanks! -- One Salient Oversight ( talk) 06:15, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

Hello Moondyne, and thank you for your recent comments. I sincerely apologize for my recent error. I joined Wikipedia a year ago, but I am still learning my way around, and obviously have a long way to go. Please allow me to explain what I think happened.
I came across the Ticket of Leave page last night, and someone had previously posted a suggestion for the page to be disambiguated (it contained 2 different subjects on the same page). I saw this as an opportunity for me to help the project, and also to gain some valuable experience in doing what is probably a routine task.
This is the first time I have attempted such a task, and needless to say, I screwed it up beyond belief. When I tried to revert my changes, I got a message that they could not be undone! So I was at the keyboard until 0530 this AM, manually fixing every link I could find.
With respect to "piping the links": this is a new concept for me, but I can and will pipe all the links in the exact manner you have suggested. Are you sure this is the best way to handle this change? The only reason I ask, is that I do not want to have to go back and do a third round of changes after I have completed that task. I would like to get this valuable lesson behind me and move on ASAP.
Once I have completed fixing all the links I can find, I will attempt to fix the attribution of the authorship of the 2 Ticket of Leave pages. I suppose I will have to do this by placing a note on the each of the two "Talk" pages. It is not and was never my intent to claim credit for authorship of either of the new pages; this really was just an honest error. As far as I can tell, the Ticket of Leave page was created by Hesperian at 03:47 on 08 December 2004. Am I correct? I am sure you understand that right now, my greatest fear is compounding my previous errors even more.
I humbly ask for your help with this task, and a little friendly mentoring would be tremendously appreciated. It is my sincere intent to be an upstanding member of the Wikipedia community. Some day I hope to be in a position to help other Wikipedians extract themselves from this kind of mess. DiverDave ( talk) 15:25, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
Hello again Moondyne. I have just finished correcting all the links I could find. I have also written a note on the "Talk" pages for the newly disambiguated "Ticket of leave" pages. This has been a misadventure which I do not care to repeat. Thanks again for your help. I have included below the text of the apology I wrote on Hesperian's Talkpage:
Hello Hesperian. I made an error yesterday, while attempting to disambiguate a page that I believe you created. The new page ticket of leave has been erroneously credited to me as the author instead of you. Moondyne alerted me to my mistake, and I have done everything in my present capacity to make it right. At his suggestion, I have added a note on the "Talk" page, indicating that you are the actual author of that page. Please let me know if there is anything else I can or should do to repair my transgression. It was never my intention to falsely claim credit; this was simply an honest mistake by an inexperienced but otherwise honorable Wikipedian. Thanks for your help, and also for your understanding.

G'day mate. We're going to take this to FAC pretty soon. You've always read through the Banksia FACs in the past, and usually offered us some probing questions from a non-botanist perspective. Interested in doing so again? Hesperian 05:55, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
Howdy Moondyne - hope you are having a good day in the Capital (assuming you are still there?). I am a little confused by your edit here ... obviously your call but with the edit summary saying "s" I thought you had either made a minor error, or I had really annoyed you at dinner :) - anyway just checking. -- VirtualSteve need admin support? 06:12, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the example, I was looking for a better system, but, and there is always a but, will it work with footnotes that have a reference, as it uses the same template, reflist? I tried before and it only gave me a red error message. I wouldn't want to lose the references. And, while I've got your attention, what do you reckon about all the mines that are currently redlinks. Should I try to create the articles one by one, and that will take a while, or just create basic stubs for all of them and then expand them one by one? Your opinion would be appreciated.

Hello Moondyne,
I wish to start a sandbox on a deleted article of Zenfolio and exercise some WP upon it. What would you suggest? Thanks. ESCapade ( talk) 13:58, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Inspite of complex considerations of notability ground out of complexity of WP which can't be studied in short time as i believe Zenfolio is in position to meet those requirements, i do hope other contributors with long enough edit history can feel free to start this article from sandbox with encyclopedic POV and treat those violations as requests to write such an article.
Thanks, Moondyne. ESCapade ( talk) 14:08, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
If there is not anything else - before i drop this matter, i would like to start a stub for other editors to contribute and develop it until full WP compliant article, paragraph by paragraph.
Thanks again, Moondyne. ESCapade ( talk) 09:32, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Have noticed that an editor, User:Nouse4aname, has recently moved GANGgajang to Ganggajang, when I attempted to revert the move the user cited 'Correct capitalisation as per WP:MOSTM and WP:NC'. I've checked WP:NC and it would appear that based on the overarching objectives, using the most easily recognized name; using the mane most prevalent in reliable sources; and using the name most readers are likely to search by that the article should be GANGgajang not Ganggajang. I've also had a look at WP:NC (common names) which would seem to support my view - anyhow I was hoping that some people who are older and wiser than me might be able to give some clear directions on the correct name for this article.

Staying in the building that I tried to edit sat night - cripes losing touch with all this stuff - pity my german and polish is zilch Satu Suro 20:07, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
As ever I am forever grateful to your for your help - may your day be a good one - it is very odd sleeping in a room that has been polish nationalist, gestapo/ss, nkvd that is on the top of a death deciding cellar - perhaps the fortuitous little direction finding duck that failed me in getting out of manchester and other similar locations in the uk in less than 3 goes - has flown me to a place that needed identifying... my re-reading after the horrible start (to the stub that is) says that it was built for the poles who wanted to have a polish silesia and it had some very famous krakowians who supported its establishment - then the gestapo used it for their bureaucratic needs - in all probability it was an office area that was used for the paper work for the part of the final solution business - and then the nkvd probably used it as a follow up to the polish free people to send them off to the grave (in russia) as well - and yet it doesnt show up in the feel good stuff about krakow. The name of the street was enough to give any ww2 era citizens/survivors the creeps as it was where they knew of people being killed or sorted to send to the camps that are not so well known. Anyways i will in all probability be low on edits for a while again or maybe rest of the trip - thanks for the clean up. Appreciated.

I agree with you on all counts and I apologise if you got the impression that I wasn't assuming good faith. My only remaining point of contention here is that an edit summary with "spelling and grammar" implies spelling and grammar, not rewording the said section to portray it's subject matter in a different light. You reworded the section, altered words, replaced words with other words and the effect of this was that it portrayed the subject matter of the given section in a light different than that which it was portrayed in previous to that edit. The genuine grammar and spelling fixes are more than welcomed, but be careful not to alter the text in doing so. If you've got any problems with the content itself or the way in which it portrayed the subject matter initially, then I should refer you to your own advice of not reverting the edits in question, rather, do as I have done and discuss it on the article's talk page.
