Talk:Launceston Church Grammar School - issues arising from this and the checking of details around australia might be something... Satu Suro 12:12, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Sorry man, there is a mis-understanding here. Correct i did "blank" the page, but i actually archived it to archive 2. to find it, go to artice information > peer-review > and then click on "archive 2 - here". Im working on what theyve done, im going to gradually use what theyve said - over the next 4 or so weeks to make the article better. I dont see what im doing wrong - no-one was adding to it in a long time. so i closed it. then i archived it in the peer-review section of the article information which seems plain logical and yea. Smbarnzy 03:37, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
I have a picture here of Percy Umfreville Henn (copyright expired) and it's on paper. I want to edit it a bit (e.g. slice off the caption and Library barcode) and then upload it to the Commons (if that's the right place). Can you tell me how I can do all this? I'm unsure how to edit it and scan it to the JPEG format. Thanks, Aurora north ( WikiDesk) 09:51, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey, im at a loss as to what to do with a problem user: User:Thewinchester - he has remved the JSHAA and PSA templates from the Aquinas College page, which i reverted. He has now been on the JSHAA page and has removed a link to an article which is up for AfD entitled (List of Western Australian JSHAA Member Schools) and placed a link to the category for it, the article hadnt been deleted (nor is it currently deleted). SM BarnZy 12:05, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm not going to take sides on the issue and play the usual game i've seen on WP. Simply put, it appears that Smbarnzy is making a patent misrepresentation of the actual edits. The issue in question is the removal of a redundant category Category JSHAA that has been adequately replaced and restructured for common sense. He has also demonstrating traits to the point of breaching WP:OWN, particularly by his own admission and diatribe [ here. These changes have not been performed lightly, and were done so after being briefed at 2am on Sunday morning about serious issues going on with another young user. I have been working through the lists of changes made by this others and as a result making multiple clean-ups, *fD's where necessary, and other such appropriate changes in a manner consistent with stated WP policy, MOS, etc. I'm not going to disagree with your comments, i'm simply suggesting that you may not have taken all appropriate information into consideration when taking your position, something which commonly happens here on WP and I myself have been guilty of. I've got much better things to do than hold any grudges or shoot off in this space because it's about delivering quality well structured information. thewinchester 12:45, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I was looking at making some articles on the following subjects, i was just wondering whether you thought they would meet criteria for an article.
SM BarnZy 06:57, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Are you the Moondyne who left me a note telling me to stop adding "inappropriate" links to Wiki? The moderator, Dirk Beetstra, said it's okay to add links to the text, especially when they are relevant to the subject. The links I have added were not spam, were not aimed at increasing search engine ratings, are not commercial and are completely relevant to the subject of the article. What's wrong with them? I'm not trying to have a fight with you, but I need to know about all this. Beetstra said it's ok to put links in the text, so what's the problem? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Neilrobertpaton ( talk • contribs) 08:34, 9 March 2007 (UTC).

I don't know what the situation is with this article. The following comment is included in the recent history on the discussion page:
01:11, 11 March 2007 Thewinchester (Talk | contribs) (←Undid revision 114090181 by Phoenix2 (talk) No community consensus on awarding GA, no discussion link to GA discussion)
As far as I could establish the edits to promote the article to GA status were made by the article's authors and not by the assessor. The article is also missing the usual good article box with a link to the version of the article which was assessed. It is part of two different Wiki Projects (schools and Australia) and will presumably have to be assessed separately by both projects. Perhaps you should take the matter up with user Thewinchester as it is was his/her comments which led me to believe that the article had not followed the due process. The article is also listed on the Wikiprojects schools page as a good article nominee and it is included in the current list of "collaborations of the week" which is surely unnecessary if it is a good article.

Do you have a reference for your name change? Guettarda 13:11, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Sure, we are called Trinidadians or Tobagonians (depending on where your from). "Trinidadian and Tobagonian" is rarely used - it's clunky. Trinidad and Tobago is often used in an adjectival or semi-adjectival form - "Trinidad and Tobago Cricket team", "Trinidad and Tobago cricketer" is the form I have almost always come across.

Word. I was actually curious about that anyway, in general. As for Aurora, I tried to help the kid, really. I just don't get it. Whatever. IvoShandor 12:53, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
My explanation for it, was that it hadnt been changed in months (the portal), so i decided to take it upon myself (being bold) and decided that it needed a change. I added a GA to the portal, aswell as an image which i felt was good (similar to the previous Scotch one they had). I did actually notice that Harro5 is the person who looks after it, and at the time of the change, i checked his contributions log, and he hasnt been active since like January 20 (approx) 07, and as the maintainer, that is a long time, and the article is meant to be changed every month, so i thought why not add one of the newest GA's on schools to the portal to show it off to the community, it may not have been by the book, but i felt that it was the right thing to do in the interests of the community and the schools portal.

Hi
I've found that you were the one who blocked Auroranorth - can you inform me on this? I go to school with aurora and he won't give! Seriously, I thought keeping secrets was year 7 stuff. And what's this with 'What was that? 2'??? And that long text on the blocking policy? I don't get it. For now, I'm relaying messages from Wiki to Aurora and vice-versa. I created an account here to sort of take over from Auroranorth as Wikipedia's resident GGS student - we need one! Anyway, is there some sort of secret that I don't know about?

Hi Moondyne, thanks for your edits to this project page. I see however you have updated some of the stats to 100% complete even though some of the articles are still in stub status and/or don't have a Dictionary of Australia Biography reference. My understanding is that a person's article is "complete" and therefore counted if it was rated "good", meaning that the text from D.A.B. was included as well as a reference to it; do you agree?. (This appears to have been the case with previous edits made to the project page before I got involved.) — Diverman 05:35, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

It would appear from the above item that you and he are mates. Then you will understand that BlackJack and I are friends and colleagues (in the real world as well as on here) and that I am defending his position just as you are defending that of your friend.
The consensus in the original discussion about the Australian season articles was clearly that the articles should be removed and left as red links on the relevant template until such time (without limit) as someone could add meaningful information to them. This was the point made by Stephen Turner and it encapsulated the consensus of that discussion.
BlackJack agreed with Stephen and decided on returning to the site that he would add the extra information needed to provide meaningful information to the readers. Acting in good faith as always. Your friend on being told that the articels had been recreated performed a knee-jerk reaction and deleted them before giving Jack a chance to explain what he was doing and without informing the cricket project who should have had the final decision about whether Jack has complied with their consensus. It is clear to anyone with any intelligence at all, looking at the articles restored by ALoan, that Jack has complied with the consensus of the previous discussion, especially as he says the articles about the later seasons contain much more information (e.g., more matches, English tours).
I think it is you who has talked about Jack's integrity and credibility on the cricket project page. I think someone who has introduced as much new material as he has, has almost singlehandedly redefined two Wikiprojects as he has, all the time encouraging other editors to contribute, does not need to defend his integrity or his credibility. I don't know what sort of contributions you have made but I doubt if either you or your pal can claim to have done as much for the site as Jack.
On the other hand, your pal has defied the consensus reached in that discussion. Someone acted in good faith to improve those articles and he has attempted to suppress them without informing the cricket project. As I said on his page, he is out of order and should be brought to account.
Unless of course he has the decency and courtesy to restore the articles and ask the cricket project to review them. If he does that and makes a suitable apology to the cricket project, I will withdraw my comments.
Note that I do not ask him to apologise to or even communicate with BlackJack because I do not think Jack should have reacted as he did, althoigh I fully understand his frustration and I agree with him that Wikipedia needs to completely overhaul its administration structure and prevent abuses of admin power such as we have seen in this case.
If that isn't good enough for the two of you then it is you have problems with credibility and integrity. -- GeorgeWilliams 06:56, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: "this farce ends now", its about time; welcome back. :-)
There's nothing inherently wrong with multiple plant species having the same common name, e.g. Swamp Banksia. But in this case, I can find no evidence that E. zopherophloia is commonly named "Powder-barked Wandoo". The Australian plant common name database gives its common name as "Blackbutt Mallee". I suspect a copypaste error. I've made a correction.
List of Wandoos: E. accedens (Powder bark Wandoo), E. capillosa (Wheatbelt Wandoo), E. lanepoolei (Salmonbark Wandoo), E. livida (Mallee Wandoo), E. nigrifunda (Desert Wandoo), E. redunca (Wandoo), E. wandoo (Wandoo).

I would like to thank you for the table that you put into the PSA article, it is a great addition, perfect. Im just enquiring as to if you know about another school association (like the PSA), to use as a guide, (GA or better) for writing the PSA article, currently i lack direction with the article. Many thanks Twenty Years 15:30, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
This - List of Facilities at Aquinas College, Perth is copied word-for-word from the Aquinas College Student Diary (could be from various year's - probs this years - they all say the same thing about the buildings) - the diary is copyrighted to the college.

I put out a general call for assistance with with the Bessie biography. I have have not had a response yet. I know I can trust you to be brutally frank and that you are very experienced with biographies. Do you have some time to help untangle my mess? Regards, Fred 05:38, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
I think your biogs are great, it was not intended as flattery. Thanks for the help and picking up that legislation issue, I will fix that up. Women were not permitted to sit on the bench and it required legislation to allow her to. Opponents to it did not stand a chance, I almost pity them. It is dificult to get across why she was so important, I might try and get another opinion from someone who has never heard of her. The Reflections book reminded me why I am so fascinated by her. I read it years ago and picked it up again recently; the sketch of an elderly Lady with skirt hiked up around her knees and wading out to confront bulldozers had been rattling around my subconcious. I hope I have done her the same justice she helped bring to so many.
As an aside, I once asked my Fascist(self-described) friend what he thought about women as heads of state, he said:
A quick glance from his partner put an end to that conversation. :-) Best regards, Fred 11:05, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Dear Moondyne,
Thank you for being a member of WikiProject Swimming. For all of you that have helped in our first week, thank you so much. This has been a very hard week for us in the States, with the Virginia Tech event. This project has been a way for me to remove my mind from the terrible event. Thank you for helping out, and improving the project. Please keep the motivation going in the next few weeks, and try to recruit as many swimmers, divers, water dancers and polo players as you can. Be proud of your sport!
See you around the pool,
.. for getting embroiled in the Ranjit Fernando issue and for tracking down and sorting out that sock issue. Appreciate it :) - Alison ☺ 03:46, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry man, there is a mis-understanding here. Correct i did "blank" the page, but i actually archived it to archive 2. to find it, go to artice information > peer-review > and then click on "archive 2 - here". Im working on what theyve done, im going to gradually use what theyve said - over the next 4 or so weeks to make the article better. I dont see what im doing wrong - no-one was adding to it in a long time. so i closed it. then i archived it in the peer-review section of the article information which seems plain logical and yea.

Hey, im at a loss as to what to do with a problem user: User:Thewinchester - he has remved the JSHAA and PSA templates from the Aquinas College page, which i reverted. He has now been on the JSHAA page and has removed a link to an article which is up for AfD entitled (List of Western Australian JSHAA Member Schools) and placed a link to the category for it, the article hadnt been deleted (nor is it currently deleted). SM BarnZy 12:05, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm not going to take sides on the issue and play the usual game i've seen on WP. Simply put, it appears that Smbarnzy is making a patent misrepresentation of the actual edits. The issue in question is the removal of a redundant category Category JSHAA that has been adequately replaced and restructured for common sense. He has also demonstrating traits to the point of breaching WP:OWN, particularly by his own admission and diatribe [ here. These changes have not been performed lightly, and were done so after being briefed at 2am on Sunday morning about serious issues going on with another young user. I have been working through the lists of changes made by this others and as a result making multiple clean-ups, *fD's where necessary, and other such appropriate changes in a manner consistent with stated WP policy, MOS, etc. I'm not going to disagree with your comments, i'm simply suggesting that you may not have taken all appropriate information into consideration when taking your position, something which commonly happens here on WP and I myself have been guilty of. I've got much better things to do than hold any grudges or shoot off in this space because it's about delivering quality well structured information. thewinchester 12:45, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

SM BarnZy 06:57, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Are you the Moondyne who left me a note telling me to stop adding "inappropriate" links to Wiki? The moderator, Dirk Beetstra, said it's okay to add links to the text, especially when they are relevant to the subject. The links I have added were not spam, were not aimed at increasing search engine ratings, are not commercial and are completely relevant to the subject of the article. What's wrong with them? I'm not trying to have a fight with you, but I need to know about all this. Beetstra said it's ok to put links in the text, so what's the problem? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Neilrobertpaton ( talk • contribs) 08:34, 9 March 2007 (UTC).

Would it be possible to have a separate article on Aquinas College Perth Alumni due to the list becoming quite large? Where is the point at which there are too many alumni for the main article? SM BarnZy 14:12, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't know what the situation is with this article. The following comment is included in the recent history on the discussion page:
01:11, 11 March 2007 Thewinchester (Talk | contribs) (←Undid revision 114090181 by Phoenix2 (talk) No community consensus on awarding GA, no discussion link to GA discussion)
As far as I could establish the edits to promote the article to GA status were made by the article's authors and not by the assessor. The article is also missing the usual good article box with a link to the version of the article which was assessed. It is part of two different Wiki Projects (schools and Australia) and will presumably have to be assessed separately by both projects. Perhaps you should take the matter up with user Thewinchester as it is was his/her comments which led me to believe that the article had not followed the due process. The article is also listed on the Wikiprojects schools page as a good article nominee and it is included in the current list of "collaborations of the week" which is surely unnecessary if it is a good article.

Sure, we are called Trinidadians or Tobagonians (depending on where your from). "Trinidadian and Tobagonian" is rarely used - it's clunky. Trinidad and Tobago is often used in an adjectival or semi-adjectival form - "Trinidad and Tobago Cricket team", "Trinidad and Tobago cricketer" is the form I have almost always come across.

Word. I was actually curious about that anyway, in general. As for Aurora, I tried to help the kid, really. I just don't get it. Whatever. IvoShandor 12:53, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
My explanation for it, was that it hadnt been changed in months (the portal), so i decided to take it upon myself (being bold) and decided that it needed a change. I added a GA to the portal, aswell as an image which i felt was good (similar to the previous Scotch one they had). I did actually notice that Harro5 is the person who looks after it, and at the time of the change, i checked his contributions log, and he hasnt been active since like January 20 (approx) 07, and as the maintainer, that is a long time, and the article is meant to be changed every month, so i thought why not add one of the newest GA's on schools to the portal to show it off to the community, it may not have been by the book, but i felt that it was the right thing to do in the interests of the community and the schools portal.

I've found that you were the one who blocked Auroranorth - can you inform me on this? I go to school with aurora and he won't give! Seriously, I thought keeping secrets was year 7 stuff. And what's this with 'What was that? 2'??? And that long text on the blocking policy? I don't get it. For now, I'm relaying messages from Wiki to Aurora and vice-versa. I created an account here to sort of take over from Auroranorth as Wikipedia's resident GGS student - we need one! Anyway, is there some sort of secret that I don't know about?

Hi Moondyne, thanks for your edits to this project page. I see however you have updated some of the stats to 100% complete even though some of the articles are still in stub status and/or don't have a Dictionary of Australia Biography reference. My understanding is that a person's article is "complete" and therefore counted if it was rated "good", meaning that the text from D.A.B. was included as well as a reference to it; do you agree?. (This appears to have been the case with previous edits made to the project page before I got involved.) — Diverman 05:35, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

It would appear from the above item that you and he are mates. Then you will understand that BlackJack and I are friends and colleagues (in the real world as well as on here) and that I am defending his position just as you are defending that of your friend.
The consensus in the original discussion about the Australian season articles was clearly that the articles should be removed and left as red links on the relevant template until such time (without limit) as someone could add meaningful information to them. This was the point made by Stephen Turner and it encapsulated the consensus of that discussion.
BlackJack agreed with Stephen and decided on returning to the site that he would add the extra information needed to provide meaningful information to the readers. Acting in good faith as always. Your friend on being told that the articels had been recreated performed a knee-jerk reaction and deleted them before giving Jack a chance to explain what he was doing and without informing the cricket project who should have had the final decision about whether Jack has complied with their consensus. It is clear to anyone with any intelligence at all, looking at the articles restored by ALoan, that Jack has complied with the consensus of the previous discussion, especially as he says the articles about the later seasons contain much more information (e.g., more matches, English tours).
I think it is you who has talked about Jack's integrity and credibility on the cricket project page. I think someone who has introduced as much new material as he has, has almost singlehandedly redefined two Wikiprojects as he has, all the time encouraging other editors to contribute, does not need to defend his integrity or his credibility. I don't know what sort of contributions you have made but I doubt if either you or your pal can claim to have done as much for the site as Jack.
On the other hand, your pal has defied the consensus reached in that discussion. Someone acted in good faith to improve those articles and he has attempted to suppress them without informing the cricket project. As I said on his page, he is out of order and should be brought to account.
Unless of course he has the decency and courtesy to restore the articles and ask the cricket project to review them. If he does that and makes a suitable apology to the cricket project, I will withdraw my comments.
Note that I do not ask him to apologise to or even communicate with BlackJack because I do not think Jack should have reacted as he did, althoigh I fully understand his frustration and I agree with him that Wikipedia needs to completely overhaul its administration structure and prevent abuses of admin power such as we have seen in this case.
If that isn't good enough for the two of you then it is you have problems with credibility and integrity. -- GeorgeWilliams 06:56, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
I have had three or four days now of blissful peace and quiet. There have been a few distractions, but I only have myself to blame for them. I have actually had a chance to work on some articles!

Hi. Cricket in Australia is the new Australian collaboration. Please help to improve it in any way you can. -- Scott Davis Talk 13:46, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
Hello Moondyne. The pictures at his cricinfo profile [2] were taken pre 1955 in AUstralia so they should be PD, but cricinfo has tagged themselves as owning it. Is it possible that they have purchsed the rights to it? Blnguyen ( bananabucket) 03:10, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Can you please comment at User_talk:Astrokey44#Trumper_image re Image:Trumper victor batting aus cricket.JPG Tintin 11:43, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
lol, does this mean it should be deleted.. but we can upload it again in eight months time?! The other photo is nicer, but I guess will have to wait till next year -- Astrokey 44 05:35, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Re: "this farce ends now", its about time; welcome back. :-)
There's nothing inherently wrong with multiple plant species having the same common name, e.g. Swamp Banksia. But in this case, I can find no evidence that E. zopherophloia is commonly named "Powder-barked Wandoo". The Australian plant common name database gives its common name as "Blackbutt Mallee". I suspect a copypaste error. I've made a correction.
List of Wandoos: E. accedens (Powder bark Wandoo), E. capillosa (Wheatbelt Wandoo), E. lanepoolei (Salmonbark Wandoo), E. livida (Mallee Wandoo), E. nigrifunda (Desert Wandoo), E. redunca (Wandoo), E. wandoo (Wandoo).

Sometimes has long breaks - I'd say go ahead and do it - as I am sure if its explained he would accept - seems a reasonable Hobartian from my experience so far... Satu Suro 12:58, 6 April 2007 (UTC) Thanks for that - that message above about the wandoos has me thinking I have seen a list at variance from that, cannot remember where though... Satu Suro 14:50, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Good article! I did have a question on a trivial matter. I'm wondering if there is a connection between his first and second wife, Bessie Picken Berry and Helen Florence Berry? Regards, Fred 05:17, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Special note to spamlist users: Apologies for the formatting issues in previous issues. This only recently became a problem due to a change in HTML Tidy; however, I am to blame on this issue. Sorry, and all messages from this one forward should be fine (I hope!) -Ral315

Hello Moondyne. There is currently a proposal for a Swimming WikiProject. Thanks, Blnguyen ( bananabucket) 07:48, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
On April 9 User:RHaworth importance tagged this article and left a note "just a few words in the first paragraph to say why she is notable, please". I have attempted to do this, and ask you to have a visit when you have the time and advise me if it upto scratch to warrant being tagged off? Many thanks petedavo 14:14, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
You might like to check his other contributions too - there aren't many articles. Sorry can't hang around to help -- Golden Wattle talk 03:47, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
It may have been easier, but it is unlikely that the majority of people will mistake college for school, or forget to add high school. However, for the few that do, there is a link for others. This is my reasoning, but if you see a flaw please inform me, I won't kill you :) Heyhey Hey 03:10, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Putting that into perspective, I must say I agree with you Heyhey Hey 04:06, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for that; one more stupido point for me. :-) Hesperian 12:38, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for attending to this. Regards,-- cj | talk 11:05, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Hello, can you please view the NZL-32 article as I have added something to it. Not sure how to change the "Political office" box in the succession box of TEAM NZ boats. Anyone can help msg me because Im going to do a whole series of these for all the boats. thanks -- Conner5553 06:45, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Thats GREAT thank you -- Conner5553 07:23, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

To Moondyne, for helping me with things on Wikipedia, thanks for going the extra mile :) –- -- Conner5553 12:25, 17 April 2007 (UTC) |
Looks great - I just had to put my bit on the talk - such things are so potentially 'selective'. It looks good - well done! Satu Suro 11:01, 16 April 2007 (UTC) What a relief only two (people on the list) were a long time family friends, and only one has our phone number - that will keep me from name dropping! :) Satu Suro 11:05, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Replied your email. Gosh things have been quiet around here of late - I've had a nice little break from the social aspect of things and am ready for SatuSuro to start networking us back together again. ;-) Hesperian 12:53, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Great News! WikiProject Swimming is now up and running. Your name has been added to the members list, since you noted your interest on the discussion page! If you have any questions, please contact me on my talk page, or the project talk page. For starters, my first goal is to get {{WikiProject Swimming}} on as many swimming related talk pages as possible. Please help get this new project off to a great start!

I would like to thank you for the table that you put into the PSA article, it is a great addition, perfect. Im just enquiring as to if you know about another school association (like the PSA), to use as a guide, (GA or better) for writing the PSA article, currently i lack direction with the article. Many thanks Twenty Years 15:30, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
This - List of Facilities at Aquinas College, Perth is copied word-for-word from the Aquinas College Student Diary (could be from various year's - probs this years - they all say the same thing about the buildings) - the diary is copyrighted to the college. Im just enquiring as to how to go about like deleting it... Thanks Twenty Years 17:51, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
I put out a general call for assistance with with the Bessie biography. I have have not had a response yet. I know I can trust you to be brutally frank and that you are very experienced with biographies. Do you have some time to help untangle my mess? Regards, Fred 05:38, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
I think your biogs are great, it was not intended as flattery. Thanks for the help and picking up that legislation issue, I will fix that up. Women were not permitted to sit on the bench and it required legislation to allow her to. Opponents to it did not stand a chance, I almost pity them. It is dificult to get across why she was so important, I might try and get another opinion from someone who has never heard of her. The Reflections book reminded me why I am so fascinated by her. I read it years ago and picked it up again recently; the sketch of an elderly Lady with skirt hiked up around her knees and wading out to confront bulldozers had been rattling around my subconcious. I hope I have done her the same justice she helped bring to so many.
As an aside, I once asked my Fascist(self-described) friend what he thought about women as heads of state, he said:
A quick glance from his partner put an end to that conversation. :-) Best regards, Fred 11:05, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Dear Moondyne,
Thank you for being a member of WikiProject Swimming. For all of you that have helped in our first week, thank you so much. This has been a very hard week for us in the States, with the Virginia Tech event. This project has been a way for me to remove my mind from the terrible event. Thank you for helping out, and improving the project. Please keep the motivation going in the next few weeks, and try to recruit as many swimmers, divers, water dancers and polo players as you can. Be proud of your sport!
See you around the pool,
.. for getting embroiled in the Ranjit Fernando issue and for tracking down and sorting out that sock issue. Appreciate it :) - Alison ☺ 03:46, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
in a minute or so Satu Suro 13:53, 23 April 2007 (UTC) delayed by phone calls sorry Satu Suro 13:58, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Hello there. It was good to meet you and the other active Perth Wikipedians today. Do please keep me informed of any future meetups. :) - Mark 02:36, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Cheers for that, always good to put names to faces (finally). Thewinchester (talk) 03:57, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Very interesting :-) I'm on 8.21%, even though you've been here a year longer than me... you old bugger. Hesperian 04:26, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

I always forget to talk about the things that I am actually doing at the moment! Irealised the issues that come from the cat trawling and finding that bot is convincing me there are some cats that need checking the contents - and it looks good - might need to get advice further later down the track - thanks for looking Satu Suro 13:53, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
You mentioned in this edit that you overheard Jimbo talking about the WikiProject endorsement idea. I've not talked to Jimbo about my little initiative, at least not in any detail. Forgive my nosiness, but I'd be quite curious to know what he has been saying about it. Thanks, Kelly Martin ( talk) 18:04, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry - my fault entirely - I accidentally moved it to the wrong page - I want it at "Postcodes in Australia", as that is the correct term in Australia, not "postal codes". JRG 07:14, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
You have some :) Orderinchaos 09:16, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
