Hey Moondyne (formerly known as I@n). I'm Just James (the jerk that called you a moron a couple of months ago). I had just been going through the list of my wiki contributions when I suddenly remembered that incident regarding Carnac Island. I was a jerk and I'm sorry. I should have checked my source of information before writing something incorrect and I should have listened to someone who obviously knows more about Western Australia than I do. Anyway, take care.-- Just James 16:03, 28 October 2006
What are you like with columns and reducing type size, I think I might need help... please? I realise you might think the list is unnecessary, but I came across my list from geographic names cards, and plan to put in coords later and possibly do links to the big list from hesp. trying to wean off the lurking in northern isles by getting back to healthy list making :) SatuSuro 03:25, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
I was waiting for a reply from you to User_talk:Moondyne/archive_4#WatchlistBot. Perhaps you didn't notice it. I'm not very active on wikipedia these days, but if you tag the relevant categories, the bot can easily generate a list of all articles in those categories. The bot can also be used to tag categories (if you could give me a top-level category, it would tag all subcategories, with my help to make sure they're all relevant), but I'm not sure when I'd get around to it.

I, Randfan, award you this FA medal for the many FA you've majorly edited. Keep up the good work. Randfan 15:45, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Hello Ian. How are you? I expanded this article which you created, and you seem to have deduced that he replaced Greg Ritchie temporarily. It appears that in his first match Ritchie also played, and then in the second Ritchie did not, so Trimble must have replaced someone else. In any case, I was wondering if my editing style seems too dry. I am always worried about NPOV so I have a very dry editing style, apart from quoting Wisden sometimes, I never use anything more emotive than "strong" or "disappointing" or sometimes just pump out statistics - you can see Wikipedia:Peer review/Virender Sehwag/archive1 reads like a block of concrete whilst Jack Ryder (cricket) or Narendra Hirwani uses more colourful language. What do you think? I'm also trying to fatten up Thorpey for FA hopefully. Also I noticed your comments about the stubmaker star - let's just say that we Australian editors seem to have high standards to ourselves...I can think of a few people who have created less than 10 stubs and have 10+ barnstars...I'm going to put this 20cents copy of A-Z of Australian cricketers to good use .

Hi, it was suggested that given your extent of contribution to this area, that your attention be brought to a discussion about this subject - GordonE and myself appear to disagree on this issue and given we're both editing articles, it's clearly something that needs resolving. The present discussion is at User talk:GordonE under "Suburb / Locality / LGA". Previously, it kept popping up in places like Victoria Park and Stirling, so I decided to try and resolve the core issue in userspace. I won't offer an opinion here as my views on the pages concerned are clearly expressed. Orderinchaos78 ( t| c) 16:51, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Moondyne
We have an unpleasant situation about to develop over this action by one "cyberjunkie" ("cj"), who decided all of a sudden that he'd move the entire History section of the ABC article to a new daughter article, without replacing it with a summary. The history section was almost entirely written more than a year ago.
Since this action on 12 September, the section has languished with no text at all under its title, save a link to the daughter article.The action has, in effect, gutted the article, leaving what appear to be insubstantial fragments without a core. It's must be odd to the newcomer to be denied a summary of the history and to move straight onto a chunky section on "funding and relationship with government" without knowing where how the institution arose.
Now, it's not that I disagree with him that the History section was written in greater detail than you'd normally expect in summary style. (A related issue is that the rest of the article may need to be fleshed out in the opposite direction to achieve satisfactory summary coverage of the topic—perhaps the optimal balance needs to be debated on the talk page.) What I do object to is
The edit comment for the removal was "split (will summarise later)", whereas I'd have been pleased to see a summary written before the removal, for immediate replacement.
I've raised the matter on the talk page, and Cyberjunkie has responded negatively:
I think a total blank is worse than a long history. Please create a summary soon. Your action has resulted in damage to the overall article, IMV. Tony 11:16, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Whereas, I disagree. --cj | talk 12:41, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
I can see that this is getting nowhere. I wonder whether you agree that he should either undertake to write a summary section in the near future (I suggest three or four paragraphs) or reinstate the text and raise the issue on the talk page.
I'd appreciate knowing your opinion. The ABC's talk page is here. Tony 13:55, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Gabbedy, J. P. (John Philip), 1906- Title Group settlement / by J.P. Gabbedy. Published Nedlands, W.A : University of Western Australia Press, 1988. 0855642904 (set) 085564284X (v.1) He's deceased - but I suspect from the cartography and the form of writing on place names that the actual image was appropriated from a govt publication promoting the whole thing actually in the 1930's. Although all other images in the List of Plates and Figures are attributed - this one wasnt in any way. In acknowledgements there are clues that he had a lot do with old staff at Lands and Surveys so I reckon they had found it in a report. Could be difficult to identiffy - or very simple I dont know. I would suggest a careful re-rendering of your copy to alleviate the issue. Also I found a black blob off hamelin bay which might have accidently been scanned into the image - it was possibly part of someone elses breakfast (!)

Hello Ian. I was googling up for pics of Australian Olympic medalists in Swimming since it is now on FLC and only needs pics and a few sentences about notable performances. I found pics of a few swimmers, which are aged > 50 years, which are theoretically PD-Aus. However, the pic info says that they stilll own the rights to the photo. So are these pics allowed. Those were the ADB pics of Clare Dennis and Frank Beaurepaire respecetively. Blnguyen ( bananabucket) 23:58, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Pushed the history back to the top of the art - tried adding some links - I am trying to remember the full am dial from the 1960's - I'll have to check what happened to the ones that disappeared! SatuSuro 15:28, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
6MD was joined up with one of the others, and I think the Geraldton and Albany ones weren't linked up with the metro stations - not so sure about Bunbury though. A lot of older radios had the stations printed on the dial covers SatuSuro 03:45, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Radio National is transmitted through the old call sign/frequency of 6WN. The thing about all this is that Murray Jennings, the Cranfields (Zenith) and others all have memories of 6IX in Perth in the 1960's - someone needs to download their memories as old radio persons dont simply stay that way (viz frank zappa and jazz - is jazz dead - no it only smells that way) they do pass on to the radio station in the sky. SatuSuro 04:05, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
(Re: Bentley) Very good point you make. I got it from a single source in the Battye Library (Geoff Gallop's book on Vic Park suburbs), and I've seen a similarly ridiculously low count for the northern suburbs Mooro people (Geoffrey Bolton makes a mention of it in his Claremont book while at the same time saying Jane Currie's contemporaneous diary quoting 40 on Matilda Bay alone contradicts it). Will definitely look into this tomorrow as it seems blatantly silly to have unanswered points on there. Orderinchaos78 11:20, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

On a hunch, I checked Onslow and Toodyay, and found double entries in both cases. The original townsite of Onslow was repeatedly flooded during cyclones, and in 1925 it was flooded so badly that they up and moved the town away from the river. The original site of Toodyay also was prone to flooding, and in 1860 was relocated to higher ground.
Therefore I propose that one of the causes of a double entry of the same town name at proximate locations, is a town relocating at some point, leaving us with a LOCB for the town, and a LOCB for the unoccupied former townsite.
Hesperian 11:32, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi Moondyne!
I believe on Friday, you blocked 194.83.84.15 from editing Wikipedia after repeated vandalism. Okay this is a fair point after looking at the contributions, but is a 7-day block on a proxy server IP address really compulsory? The IP address belongs to Yale College, Wrexham, which currently posesses over 2500 machines using the server, with many thousands of users (plus hundreds of staff) - is it really fair to the non-vandalising community? Okay looking at the contributions there seems to be a lot of vandalism, but I know of many users who contribute to Wikipedia at college and mainly edit pages on local things. I believe a similar thing happens with AOL users and their IP addresses, but there are measures there to prevent innocent users recieving irrelevant treatment - so why does this static IP serving so many users get blocked for seven days?
Excuse me if I sounded patronising insulting or anything, but I would like to know why such a long duration ban? However, I fully understand your reason for blocking and I am not suggesting for the IP to be unblocked. Best wishes Marbles333 18:53, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi,
Thanks for the welcome. Do you know if/how I can reply to your note from my area, without writing in your area?
I started looking for some info about a few explorers on the Project Gutenberg of Australia site and one thing led to another with the WA stuff. I don't spend a lot of time on Wikipedia stuff, but sometimes have a dabble.
There might be some things of interest to you in the introduction to this book: Early Explorers in Australia

Brilliant article - what a good start for maritime history category!

Babbage island appears in the Gazetteer as both an island and a LOCB (towns and localities). If there really is a town named Babbage Island worth writing about, separately from the island, then it should be at Babbage Island, Western Australia. There might not be though; I generated this list by querying the Gazetteer for WA LOCBs and dumping them out in Wiki table format. As I said in the header "I also believe that it contains some spurious entries that are not cities, towns and suburbs. The presence of a name in this list therefore does not imply that it is a city, town or suburb." Hesperian 13:45, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
I've just realised why there is such a dearth of maritime history on wikipedia - this parent article and the subsequent category and subcategories have relegated maritime history as part of this tree/heirarchy. Wow - that's a lot of very weird articles/headings to chase - and I'd thought history was the parent category - well well, and some one has even had the thickness to call it ship transport instead of water transport - I think the primary school editors have been onto this one sometime.... SatuSuro 01:27, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Srry,
I thought that the standard language would be in Americal English. My reasoning is that english wikipedia is based in america and america is where a majority of the english speaking wikipedia users reside so, unless there is a good reason, I would usually follow the majority of user's preferences but I will look into it and find out what the wikipedia rules say

Hi Moondyne, you were on the list of members at WikiProject Automobiles and we are introducing a new way of listing members, as the old list was becoming too long. Our new method involves having all of our members in a category.
To add yourself to the category just add the userbox to your user page by putting {{ Wiki Auto Project}} where you want the userbox. Alternatively if you don't like the userbox you can add [[Category:WikiProject Automobiles members|Moondyne]] to your userpage.
If you no longer wish to be a member of the project, simply don't add the userbox or category, there's no pressure. Thanks for your time, James086 Talk | Contribs 04:12, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Hope you think it is a good idea. No content until enough members for consensus. Please bring your good ideas and exp. Fred.e 08:22, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Just after a bit of help. I have deleted a reference to a BBC article in Murali's article because it claimed that he had recieved an award as the greatest bowler of all time, however Wisden (the supposed awaders of said award) do not acknowledge this.

Hey Moondyne (formerly known as I@n). I'm Just James (the jerk that called you a moron a couple of months ago). I had just been going through the list of my wiki contributions when I suddenly remembered that incident regarding Carnac Island. I was a jerk and I'm sorry. I should have checked my source of information before writing something incorrect and I should have listened to someone who obviously knows more about Western Australia than I do. Anyway, take care.-- Just James 16:03, 28 October 2006
What are you like with columns and reducing type size, I think I might need help... please?

I was waiting for a reply from you to User_talk:Moondyne/archive_4#WatchlistBot. Perhaps you didn't notice it. I'm not very active on wikipedia these days, but if you tag the relevant categories, the bot can easily generate a list of all articles in those categories. The bot can also be used to tag categories (if you could give me a top-level category, it would tag all subcategories, with my help to make sure they're all relevant), but I'm not sure when I'd get around to it.

I, Randfan, award you this FA medal for the many FA you've majorly edited. Keep up the good work. Randfan 15:45, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Hello Ian. How are you? I expanded this article which you created, and you seem to have deduced that he replaced Greg Ritchie temporarily. It appears that in his first match Ritchie also played, and then in the second Ritchie did not, so Trimble must have replaced someone else. In any case, I was wondering if my editing style seems too dry. I am always worried about NPOV so I have a very dry editing style, apart from quoting Wisden sometimes, I never use anything more emotive than "strong" or "disappointing" or sometimes just pump out statistics - you can see Wikipedia:Peer review/Virender Sehwag/archive1 reads like a block of concrete whilst Jack Ryder (cricket) or Narendra Hirwani uses more colourful language. What do you think? I'm also trying to fatten up Thorpey for FA hopefully. Also I noticed your comments about the stubmaker star - let's just say that we Australian editors seem to have high standards to ourselves...I can think of a few people who have created less than 10 stubs and have 10+ barnstars...I'm going to put this 20cents copy of A-Z of Australian cricketers to good use .

Hi, it was suggested that given your extent of contribution to this area, that your attention be brought to a discussion about this subject - GordonE and myself appear to disagree on this issue and given we're both editing articles, it's clearly something that needs resolving. The present discussion is at User talk:GordonE under "Suburb / Locality / LGA". Previously, it kept popping up in places like Victoria Park and Stirling, so I decided to try and resolve the core issue in userspace. I won't offer an opinion here as my views on the pages concerned are clearly expressed. Orderinchaos78 ( t| c) 16:51, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Moondyne
We have an unpleasant situation about to develop over this action by one "cyberjunkie" ("cj"), who decided all of a sudden that he'd move the entire History section of the ABC article to a new daughter article, without replacing it with a summary. The history section was almost entirely written more than a year ago.
Since this action on 12 September, the section has languished with no text at all under its title, save a link to the daughter article.The action has, in effect, gutted the article, leaving what appear to be insubstantial fragments without a core. It's must be odd to the newcomer to be denied a summary of the history and to move straight onto a chunky section on "funding and relationship with government" without knowing where how the institution arose.
Now, it's not that I disagree with him that the History section was written in greater detail than you'd normally expect in summary style. (A related issue is that the rest of the article may need to be fleshed out in the opposite direction to achieve satisfactory summary coverage of the topic—perhaps the optimal balance needs to be debated on the talk page.) What I do object to is
The edit comment for the removal was "split (will summarise later)", whereas I'd have been pleased to see a summary written before the removal, for immediate replacement.
I've raised the matter on the talk page, and Cyberjunkie has responded negatively:
I think a total blank is worse than a long history. Please create a summary soon. Your action has resulted in damage to the overall article, IMV. Tony 11:16, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Whereas, I disagree. --cj | talk 12:41, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
I can see that this is getting nowhere. I wonder whether you agree that he should either undertake to write a summary section in the near future (I suggest three or four paragraphs) or reinstate the text and raise the issue on the talk page.
I'd appreciate knowing your opinion. The ABC's talk page is here. Tony 13:55, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Gabbedy, J. P. (John Philip), 1906- Title Group settlement / by J.P. Gabbedy. Published Nedlands, W.A : University of Western Australia Press, 1988. 0855642904 (set) 085564284X (v.1) He's deceased - but I suspect from the cartography and the form of writing on place names that the actual image was appropriated from a govt publication promoting the whole thing actually in the 1930's. Although all other images in the List of Plates and Figures are attributed - this one wasnt in any way. In acknowledgements there are clues that he had a lot do with old staff at Lands and Surveys so I reckon they had found it in a report. Could be difficult to identiffy - or very simple I dont know. I would suggest a careful re-rendering of your copy to alleviate the issue. Also I found a black blob off hamelin bay which might have accidently been scanned into the image - it was possibly part of someone elses breakfast (!)

Radio National is transmitted through the old call sign/frequency of 6WN. The thing about all this is that Murray Jennings, the Cranfields (Zenith) and others all have memories of 6IX in Perth in the 1960's - someone needs to download their memories as old radio persons dont simply stay that way (viz frank zappa and jazz - is jazz dead - no it only smells that way) they do pass on to the radio station in the sky.

(Re: Bentley) Very good point you make. I got it from a single source in the Battye Library (Geoff Gallop's book on Vic Park suburbs), and I've seen a similarly ridiculously low count for the northern suburbs Mooro people (Geoffrey Bolton makes a mention of it in his Claremont book while at the same time saying Jane Currie's contemporaneous diary quoting 40 on Matilda Bay alone contradicts it). Will definitely look into this tomorrow as it seems blatantly silly to have unanswered points on there. Orderinchaos78 11:20, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

On a hunch, I checked Onslow and Toodyay, and found double entries in both cases. The original townsite of Onslow was repeatedly flooded during cyclones, and in 1925 it was flooded so badly that they up and moved the town away from the river. The original site of Toodyay also was prone to flooding, and in 1860 was relocated to higher ground.
Therefore I propose that one of the causes of a double entry of the same town name at proximate locations, is a town relocating at some point, leaving us with a LOCB for the town, and a LOCB for the unoccupied former townsite.

Hi Moondyne!
I believe on Friday, you blocked 194.83.84.15 from editing Wikipedia after repeated vandalism. Okay this is a fair point after looking at the contributions, but is a 7-day block on a proxy server IP address really compulsory? The IP address belongs to Yale College, Wrexham, which currently posesses over 2500 machines using the server, with many thousands of users (plus hundreds of staff) - is it really fair to the non-vandalising community? Okay looking at the contributions there seems to be a lot of vandalism, but I know of many users who contribute to Wikipedia at college and mainly edit pages on local things. I believe a similar thing happens with AOL users and their IP addresses, but there are measures there to prevent innocent users recieving irrelevant treatment - so why does this static IP serving so many users get blocked for seven days?
Excuse me if I sounded patronising insulting or anything, but I would like to know why such a long duration ban? However, I fully understand your reason for blocking and I am not suggesting for the IP to be unblocked. Best wishes Marbles333 18:53, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

In between getting distracted by the chaotic number of diversions - I am considering starting the Project stuff next week - I think the idea has not had any detracttors - so that's the main thing I hope. It will be much slower than the rpaidly evolving OZ hist project - any ideas/comments on this crazy festive christmas party season time to start wading in the briny? (bet you're looking forward to the perth test!) SatuSuro 13:50, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Appears viable and is now started - please excuse any rough patches in the start - any suggestions would be appreciated! SatuSuro 01:24, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
Well done sorting out the lead. ta! FrummerThanThou 13:15, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
You and Descendall defamed myself and the indigenous organization MATSES. Then Descendall erased my responses to his racist remarks. What business do you have reverting the Article for Deletion? Your actions can be interpreted as vandalism and racism. Wikipedia should not be a forum for slanderous remarks.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Matses ( talk • contribs)
Brilliant article - what a good start for maritime history category! Henrietta (LISWA or whatever it is now) has 11 separate identified photos in Western Mail between 1909 and 1912, and another separate - nothing online! Its the rear lower deck opening on the bottom photo - I dont have anything to help me - dosnt mix - otherwise its the same, I think. Can be exasprating for sure! SatuSuro 13:30, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Babbage island appears in the Gazetteer as both an island and a LOCB (towns and localities). If there really is a town named Babbage Island worth writing about, separately from the island, then it should be at Babbage Island, Western Australia. There might not be though; I generated this list by querying the Gazetteer for WA LOCBs and dumping them out in Wiki table format. As I said in the header "I also believe that it contains some spurious entries that are not cities, towns and suburbs. The presence of a name in this list therefore does not imply that it is a city, town or suburb." Hesperian 13:45, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
I've just realised why there is such a dearth of maritime history on wikipedia - this parent article and the subsequent category and subcategories have relegated maritime history as part of this tree/heirarchy. Wow - that's a lot of very weird articles/headings to chase - and I'd thought history was the parent category - well well, and some one has even had the thickness to call it ship transport instead of water transport - I think the primary school editors have been onto this one sometime....

Srry,
I thought that the standard language would be in Americal English. My reasoning is that english wikipedia is based in america and america is where a majority of the english speaking wikipedia users reside so, unless there is a good reason, I would usually follow the majority of user's preferences but I will look into it and find out what the wikipedia rules say

Ok,
I'm going out for a while but when I come back, I will change the article and edit it, changing spelling to the australian version, thanks for correcting me :)

Instead of gardening in the face of the crazy water transport heirarchy ive reverted to the closed railway stations of the foothills - figure the helena vale racecourse dosnt get a separate article until I find the curtin heritage students work on it ( a good one) and then there could be the List of defunct racecourses in western australia can beg a chance of light - why keep on a thousand threads when theres a chance for another thousand again I ask!

Hi Moondyne, you were on the list of members at WikiProject Automobiles and we are introducing a new way of listing members, as the old list was becoming too long. Our new method involves having all of our members in a category.
To add yourself to the category just add the userbox to your user page by putting {{ Wiki Auto Project}} where you want the userbox. Alternatively if you don't like the userbox you can add [[Category:WikiProject Automobiles members|Moondyne]] to your userpage.
If you no longer wish to be a member of the project, simply don't add the userbox or category, there's no pressure. Thanks for your time, James086 Talk | Contribs 04:12, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Hope you think it is a good idea. No content until enough members for consensus. Please bring your good ideas and exp. Fred.e 08:22, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Just after a bit of help. I have deleted a reference to a BBC article in Murali's article because it claimed that he had recieved an award as the greatest bowler of all time, however Wisden (the supposed awaders of said award) do not acknowledge this. I think the BBC article is a case of poor journalism. Can you please advise me as to whether my actions were correct. Cragialist 11:45, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
Enjoy your break, Gnangarra 15:08, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

As you are a member of WP:WA, I would like to invite you to add a userbox I created for the project. It looks like this; {{ User WikiProject Western Australia}} Cheers!-- M W Johnson 23:48, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello there. I've just noticed that on 9th Nov. you wrote on the WP Numismatics talk page:
You might possibly be interested to learn that a WikiProject has recently been started up to address this area - WP:ODM. You would probably find this a receptive audience - I'd certainly be interested in helping improve the coverage of Australian awards.

Per recent discussions, the way in which Persondata is viewed by Wikipedia editors has changed. In order to continue viewing Persondata in Wikipedia articles, please edit your user CSS file to display table.persondata rather than table.metadata. More specific instructions can be found on the Persondata page. -- ShakingSpirit talk on behalf of Kaldari 01:32, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
