mmm... may miss the boxing day Test :( Aaroncrick ( talk) Review me! 00:18, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
Firstly, thanks for tagging it up for improvement as part of a wikiproject- hopefully that gets some more editors working on it. and thanks for the link, ive bookmarked it.
in terms of importance - yes, it is very subjective.
Screenwest is the main source of film + television funding in western australia- i personally would rate that as more important than say an individual premier or a landmark (depends what landmark i suppose. def more important than say the belltower). Note that i only took it up to middle importance for australia, and high for wa. Ill ignore the australia wide context for now, but no way its the lowest possible category of importance for WA. you are correct that the screenwest article doesn't currently show notability as well as it could- i created the page like 2 days ago + i tagged it as a stub, i'll get around to working on it when i can (the west australian screen awards and film and television institute articles also need work + i've got a job application to do that im currently trying to avoid) -- Brunk500 ( talk) 13:20, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
Just a follow up on that- i checked out the list of high importance wa articles as you suggested, and screenwest i think easily slots in there- in fact its of much higher importance than say the cygnet cinema. -- Brunk500 ( talk) 13:29, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
like you can see, i've only bumped up the importance one step from low to mid for WA, and haven touched importance to australia, as a compromise given oour difference of opinion. given that one of the premiers in the high category was only in the job for 3 months i think its a fair call :) -- Brunk500 ( talk) 14:11, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
not sure theres any conflict of interest issue.. i dont work for screenwest nor have i received funding from them. theres a subjectivity issue sure but its not the same thing. -- Brunk500 ( talk) 15:05, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
re: screenwest only existing for 10 years- before that it was called the West Australian Film Corporation- which i've now noted on the article. like i said, work in progress. I didnt take much offence at the COI thing, i think words over the net tend to come across as more pissy than intended -- Brunk500 ( talk) 15:43, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
nice addition of funding values etc to the screenwest page. -- Brunk500 ( talk) 09:40, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice, I guess I've been a bit careless there. The fact that Australia uses the same symbole then the US for our Dollar is a bit of a pain, especially when dealing with subjects that connect to both countries, like Australian mines owned by US companies! Hard to figure out at times which Dollar they are talking about and painful to have to disambiguate it in an article! Anyway, I will try to improve and be more careful!

Hello, Moondyne. I stumbled across File:Harry Boyle.jpg and noticed it has no source information.

Hello Moondyne! Thank you for your contributions. I am a

Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The
biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure
verifiability, all biographies should be based on
reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current

Remember our little discussion about him, the man that discovered the Telfer Mine? I'm trying to take the story to the main page now. It makes interessting reading. Calistemon ( talk) 12:46, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
Nice job! I think it is much more readable than the plain-text version I made. What are you not so sure about?
Below are a couple thoughts I might suggest (but I'm not sure they'd work out until I tried)
I might have time to try a bit of this later. ( SEC ( talk) 13:30, 27 January 2010 (UTC))
I didn't get much time today, and what I tried didn't turn out well. Maybe I can try more later, but I'll recommend that you replace the current template:Youngest circumnavigator with what you have done and we can refine it from there. As is, your work will be a great improvement. ( SEC ( talk) 23:06, 27 January 2010 (UTC))
I just noticed others have made a number of modifications to it already; you might want to check those changes against your copy. All the more reason to deploy your version, too. ( SEC ( talk) 23:11, 27 January 2010 (UTC))
I corrected one date, otherwise it looks great. Nice job! As to your original concern of it not being official, my opinion is that doesn't change the fact that it is real. These may not be recognized by any official organization, but they are still sailing records. These are real journeys by real people that are newsworthy and noteworthy and thus valid Wikipedia entries. And I'd say let's move any more discussion to Template talk:Youngest circumnavigator, agreed? ( SEC ( talk) 03:25, 28 January 2010 (UTC))

Unfortunately, SACA's contractors wouldn't let me within 40 metres this year, so no photos of Pak. Pretty ridiculous, given that they don't bother checking for weapons or any of that thing, and the guards are unarmed. And in any case, teh guard was pretty portly and even a guy who runs 100m in 15s like me could dodge them. I did get Voges before the security guy ordered me back YellowMonkey ( bananabucket) 00:58, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Jeff Thompson. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jeff Thompson. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. -- Erwin85Bot ( talk) 01:04, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Moondyne: someone removed the section on Circumnavigation scrutiny that you added to the Jessica Watson article. While disturbing information, it certainly does belong in the article. ( SEC ( talk) 20:50, 3 May 2010 (UTC))
I don't understand. You asked for a rewrite and compromise. I did just that yet you simply delete in entirety.
I note that others also think the longer article should stay. Yet I reworded, shortened, and removed some comments. I am happy to remove praise comment as well, though I thought it was ok. Is that what you want?
Please act in good faith —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cowabunga438 ( talk • contribs) 05:27, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
You also have breached the edit rule and a warning has been placed.
If you read the talk page you will see that there is some consensus for the longer article AND I have made the compromise you requested. However you seem to ignore both of these. -- Cowabunga438 ( talk) 05:44, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. The Rambling Man ( talk) 16:15, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

G'day Joe, not sure if I'm the only one using it, but I regularly use(d) the Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket/Articles list with the "related changes" tool to see what's being edited - saves having a huge watchlist.

I went for that edit because it is the most neutral text. I mentioned also that I had gone for a 3rd opinion on the issue and requested protection.
Meanwhile, you've essentially locked in something that is wholly inconsistent with every other school page on the site. Why? Why do we allow an interpretation for Newcastle HS' motto where no other school has anything even remotely similar? I've discussed this at [ [7]]. - Danjel ( talk) 15:48, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
That's not their logo, so I undid your change at [ [9]]. The logo that that edit was relying on belongs to Melbourne High School. Mac Robertson GHS uses two, one is Athena's (?) bust, and the other is a stylised M surrounding GHS. Take a look at their website [ [10]].
I tried looking earlier for a clean version of their logo and couldn't find one. I have some documents from the school, so I might try to pull a fair use logo from one or another of them. - Danjel ( talk) 15:21, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

G'day Moondyne. If you find any more schools in your travels that need content and information added for notability reasons like Tumut High School and Parkes High School, could you please let me know? I'll try to get them up to scratch during the school holidays. I should be able to get this done for, at least, NSW and Vic schools because I'm familiar with most of them. I'm building a to-do list for this reason (and for other school related issues) here: User:Danjel/ToDoList Cheers. - Danjel ( talk) 14:48, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
I'm going to have a crack at those schools you've just given me. Killara PS was fairly easy because I know that that was one of the schools involved in the league tables hooplah.

I strongly doubt the notability of the two people in the key_people section on Xavier College. See my reply here: Talk:Xavier_College#Key-people_2. I think it should stay commented out until some significance is demonstrated.

Hi Moondyne. Australian school articles are some of the most difficult to keep track of. At
WP:WPSCH the replacement for AlertBot is now up and running with the school project as one of the prototypes. Over the past eeks the
WP:WPSCH pages have been re formatted and tidied up, especially some aspects being split off into sub pages because the main page was getting too long. Do please take a moment to check it out, and you may find that you can avoid some unnecessary duplication. I also think it would be a very good idea to place plenty of links to
WP:WPSCH especialy,
WP:WPSCH/AG which we've smartened up and made more readable. Do check out also the use of
school infoboxes which has been standardised for quite a long time to make it easier for page creators and the regulars at the school project. Also, you might wish to consider placing the generic Australia project template on the talk pages of Australian schools.
My speciality is not Oz schools per se, but don't hesitate to contact me if you feel the available fields on the two Australian boxes do not address today's needs - these are fixes that can easily be made. There is going to be a major campaign to clean up school articles during 2011, if you are not already a member of the Schools project, do consider joining and seeing where you can help. More news later! Kind regards, and all the best for 2011. --

Hi Moondyne,
Let me take you back 2 years, and test your memory. I've just added a proper infobox to W McEwan (for which you did a lot of clean-up/referencing in December 2008! There is some discrepancy between what is there, and what is referenced (to CA). The original article had a full date-of-death, (and place of death as Nice, and I think you added the reference to CA (which confirms the year, but has the location as Victoria). The old "infobox" decided that his first name was William. Have you any sources you looked at, or any ideas of how to tell what information is genuine or what came from an old, non-referenced source? He's one of the one-match-wonders, so hardly the most important, but may as well sort it out while I've noticed! Any ideas? — User:MDCollins ( talk) 21:55, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Firstly, thanks for tagging it up for improvement as part of a wikiproject- hopefully that gets some more editors working on it. and thanks for the link, ive bookmarked it.
in terms of importance - yes, it is very subjective.
Screenwest is the main source of film + television funding in western australia- i personally would rate that as more important than say an individual premier or a landmark (depends what landmark i suppose. def more important than say the belltower). Note that i only took it up to middle importance for australia, and high for wa. Ill ignore the australia wide context for now, but no way its the lowest possible category of importance for WA. you are correct that the screenwest article doesn't currently show notability as well as it could- i created the page like 2 days ago + i tagged it as a stub, i'll get around to working on it when i can (the west australian screen awards and film and television institute articles also need work + i've got a job application to do that im currently trying to avoid) -- Brunk500 ( talk) 13:20, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
Just a follow up on that- i checked out the list of high importance wa articles as you suggested, and screenwest i think easily slots in there- in fact its of much higher importance than say the cygnet cinema. -- Brunk500 ( talk) 13:29, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
like you can see, i've only bumped up the importance one step from low to mid for WA, and haven touched importance to australia, as a compromise given oour difference of opinion. given that one of the premiers in the high category was only in the job for 3 months i think its a fair call :) -- Brunk500 ( talk) 14:11, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
not sure theres any conflict of interest issue.. i dont work for screenwest nor have i received funding from them. theres a subjectivity issue sure but its not the same thing. -- Brunk500 ( talk) 15:05, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
re: screenwest only existing for 10 years- before that it was called the West Australian Film Corporation- which i've now noted on the article. like i said, work in progress. I didnt take much offence at the COI thing, i think words over the net tend to come across as more pissy than intended -- Brunk500 ( talk) 15:43, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice, I guess I've been a bit careless there. The fact that Australia uses the same symbole then the US for our Dollar is a bit of a pain, especially when dealing with subjects that connect to both countries, like Australian mines owned by US companies!

Hello- I saw that you deleted the flags I had installed for the Lady Elizabeth (1879) article. Although I am new at this and respect your changes, I was wondering if their is a rule stating "excess use of flags" and if not, why are the changes made. You changes to my article do not upset me in anyway but this is a learning process for me and would like a little more input on your changes if you would please. Thank you.

G'day Joe, not sure if I'm the only one using it, but I regularly use(d) the Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket/Articles list with the "related changes" tool to see what's being edited - saves having a huge watchlist. So could you please undelete it - I'll even manually update it (AWB) every now and then. I also use the AFL list, so please don't delete it either! Cheers, The-Pope ( talk) 14:20, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
Sometimes I think the people who spend their time at AIV or RPP have seen so much vandalism that they build up a tolerance much higher than the average editor who's sick of hitting rollback 2 or 3 times on the same article even over a few days. Cheers, The-Pope ( talk) 14:27, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi there. The editors who created the Codewit articles obviously also created this redirect. The title of the redirect page is found in one of the created articles, in the "Career and Activism" section, in the 2nd paragraph. Since the redirect leads to the article which is now up on Afd, is it required to additionally tag the redirect page for deletion as well ? Amsaim ( talk) 23:42, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Hello Moondyne. I'm a newbie to Wikipedia so please forgive me if my message is a bit beyond the norm! I'm contacting you regarding your image of the Giant Pineapple. My organisation would like to use it for a non-commercial educational project however the licences that are associated with the image do not quite align with the proposed use. Consequently, there are a couple of things that I would like to clarify with you privately. Is there some way that I can do that? I wasn't sure whether the best way for us to make contact is for me to upload my email address. Thanks so much :-) Image link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:GiantPineappleNambour.jpg

I went for that edit because it is the most neutral text. I mentioned also that I had gone for a 3rd opinion on the issue and requested protection.
Meanwhile, you've essentially locked in something that is wholly inconsistent with every other school page on the site. Why? Why do we allow an interpretation for Newcastle HS' motto where no other school has anything even remotely similar? I've discussed this at [ [7]]. - Danjel ( talk) 15:48, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
That's not their logo, so I undid your change at [ [9]]. The logo that that edit was relying on belongs to Melbourne High School. Mac Robertson GHS uses two, one is Athena's (?) bust, and the other is a stylised M surrounding GHS. Take a look at their website [ [10]].
I tried looking earlier for a clean version of their logo and couldn't find one. I have some documents from the school, so I might try to pull a fair use logo from one or another of them. - Danjel ( talk) 15:21, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

G'day Moondyne. If you find any more schools in your travels that need content and information added for notability reasons like Tumut High School and Parkes High School, could you please let me know? I'll try to get them up to scratch during the school holidays. I should be able to get this done for, at least, NSW and Vic schools because I'm familiar with most of them.

I'm going to have a crack at those schools you've just given me. Killara PS was fairly easy because I know that that was one of the schools involved in the league tables hooplah.

I strongly doubt the notability of the two people in the key_people section on Xavier College. See my reply here: Talk:Xavier_College#Key-people_2. I think it should stay commented out until some significance is demonstrated.
Pdfpdf seems to put them below the head of the Junior School as well, which means that they're not notable against the standard we have adopted with other schools (that named executive are included). - danjel ( talk to me) 08:53, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
I had been trying bloody hard in the face of, again, someone who WP:OWNed the article, to it's detriment, to be civil and to move forward in the face of policy. I was and am unequivocably in the right this time, and I've even, just now, come up with a compromise with a more reasonable editor on the other side that seems acceptable.

Hi Moondyne. Australian school articles are some of the most difficult to keep track of. At
WP:WPSCH the replacement for AlertBot is now up and running with the school project as one of the prototypes. Over the past eeks the
WP:WPSCH pages have been re formatted and tidied up, especially some aspects being split off into sub pages because the main page was getting too long. Do please take a moment to check it out, and you may find that you can avoid some unnecessary duplication. I also think it would be a very good idea to place plenty of links to
WP:WPSCH especialy,
WP:WPSCH/AG which we've smartened up and made more readable. Do check out also the use of
school infoboxes which has been standardised for quite a long time to make it easier for page creators and the regulars at the school project. Also, you might wish to consider placing the generic Australia project template on the talk pages of Australian schools.
My speciality is not Oz schools per se, but don't hesitate to contact me if you feel the available fields on the two Australian boxes do not address today's needs - these are fixes that can easily be made. There is going to be a major campaign to clean up school articles during 2011, if you are not already a member of the Schools project, do consider joining and seeing where you can help. More news later! Kind regards, and all the best for 2011. --

Hi Moondyne,
Let me take you back 2 years, and test your memory. I've just added a proper infobox to W McEwan (for which you did a lot of clean-up/referencing in December 2008! There is some discrepancy between what is there, and what is referenced (to CA). The original article had a full date-of-death, (and place of death as Nice, and I think you added the reference to CA (which confirms the year, but has the location as Victoria). The old "infobox" decided that his first name was William. Have you any sources you looked at, or any ideas of how to tell what information is genuine or what came from an old, non-referenced source? He's one of the one-match-wonders, so hardly the most important, but may as well sort it out while I've noticed! Any ideas? — User:MDCollins ( talk) 21:55, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
