Cheers, - Fr ed 11:04, 2 March 2007 (UTC) I used it, I'm always losing bits and pieces like that. Usually it is stabs in the dark at template names, sometimes with surprising results. Thanks again.

Thanks very much guys :) I really do appreciate it! I'm glad to see my bit of effort in the State Library and the Records Office paid off for all concerned - I now have a greatly enhanced understanding of this part of Perth. The contributions by several of you were fantastic - especially those responsible for the Natural History section and the people who reviewed my wording and construction. I owe a few people a shout at the next meetup, I think (for those of you not in Perth, consider yourself virtually shouted) Orderinchaos 11:56, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks so much for your comments and feedback. Its totally your call what to do with it re GA. I would completely understand if you'd prefer to pass it on to another reviewer or wanted to leave for a while. I'm in no burning hurry. Somehow I don't see it being a FA type of article though but maybe I'm a bit too close to it. — Moondyne 04:34, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Good question; I don't know. I used to read it as "brown-eye" but at some point I switched over to "brownie-eye". I'm fairly certain "brown-ee" is wrong. I'll ask Cas. Hesperian 04:38, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Yeh, he removed two templates from the Aquinas page, so i warned him, then he reverted back to his version, and i warned him again, and now he has started on the JSHAA page and i have to keep reverting. =( its so silly - this wikipedia business =) its almost amusing. i told him that if he has a problem with anything ive said to him, to talk to me on my talk page before making any reverts etc etc. But thanks for the notes SM BarnZy 12:27, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello. Thanks :o) Well, I think it was worth fighting for...especially if the guy who proposed it for deletion really plans to delete all the neighborhoods he has never heard off. I was surprised that an Australian was among the first in the debate :o) Yes, foreigners tend to like Belgrade...I am glad you had nice time here. PajaBG 21:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Take a look at 1975 to 1996 elections inclusive. Thank Janine Haines - her googling brought me to the PEO site! :D Timeshift 08:16, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Take a look at the standardisation i've implemented for federal elections 1972-2004 inclusive on Template:Politics of Australia... i'm happy with where it's at for now, but that bloody 1990 page sticks out like a sore thumb! How do you reckon I would go about forming a second concensus? Timeshift 08:32, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Testing your memory here nut we had a discussion re Daisy Bates claims of cannibalism. I found a quote from A. O. Neville in the Daily news 20th February 1928, "There has been no actual evidence of cannibalistic activities by aborigines in western or central australia" this was in response to Bates sending some aborigines to perth claiming they had a bag stained with humans blood and a skull. You can find interesting things in old papers, the daily news during that period on every tuesday reported who registered a vehicle, where they lived(actual address), type of vehicle and the registration number of the vehicle. But what I was looking for was info on the centenary events so between january 2 1928 and feb 28 1928 there was only one reported(16/2/1928) request for people with associations to national organisations to request they hold an event in Perth during 1929 to which the will offer travle assistance for those attending.

I am trying to start a wiki that is focused on wrestling and video games. I figured that since it uses the same design as Wikipedia (MediaWiki, or whatever it's called), that I could basically copy wrestling and video game templates like {{Template:Infobox Wrestling event}} and {{Template:Infobox VG}}, but they aren't working. Here is what I ended up with [1]. Would you mind creating a few templates there? Specifically: Template:Infobox VG, Template:Infobox Wrestler, Template:Infobox Wrestling event and Template:Infobox Wrestling team since those are the only four I would really use. Thank you in advance. TJ Spyke 03:59, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

In order to avoid spamming a range of talk pages, thank you to all who supported my successful application for adminship.

By the way, do you have any more information about the regions(?) used in the 19th Century WA you mentioned at Template talk:Infobox Australian Place: Swan, Cockburn Sound, Canning, Avon, etc.. just that it has got me interested! -- Astrokey 44 11:26, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi there, I noticed your vote/comment at the TfD about the new template being rather on the large side. Just so you know, the original template as I intended it was meant to look like this, a nice and compact informative template, but some editors felt that a separation must occur on the lines of the old template hence the discussion on the talk-page. As you will find out, I disagree with the idea of creating separate sections infinitely (the subject of SSB is potentially very large) but I have to respect the majority. I thought you may like to go through the short discussion there and weigh in with any opinion you may have, it would be appreciated. Regards, Ekantik talk 02:52, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Although in all honesty it appears agreed to keep the separation, but I think your opinion would be worth noting nevertheless. Ekantik talk 02:55, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Many thanks for your comments on Aquinas College. It was indeed a very confusing situation, especially when the editors have a proven past history of incorrectly promoting their article to a new status. The article does now appear to have gone through the GA process. I suspect the nomination will be challenged in due course. The editors have written at length on the school but in my view far too many of the references are to the school website, the school intranet (which is restricted access) and school diaries and handbooks. Very little seems to have been referenced from reliable secondary sources. I know very little about Australian schools so I will leave the matter to our Australian editors to sort out if they want to. Dahliarose 15:59, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
I thought it probably would be like that. so now I have done it. again thanks for the welcome. Farsouth 08:21, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

As I learned the hard way, if you have a stake in a speedily deleted article, it is better to ask the deleter to reverse their actions, or get another admin to undelete it, rather than undeleting it yourself. That way, you maintain the illusionimpression that admins only ever use their tools to enforce community consensus and standards, and never for their own ends. Having undeleted it, you ought to let Betacommand know what you've done. Well done for taking it to AfD though. (Don't stress about this, it is a minor issue, and BITE applies to newb admins too ;-) )

Anything you can do to help clarify the position would be helpful. I agree it was probably a misunderstanding and he created the account he wished to usurp. If that account confirms it is willing to be usurped, the usurpation can go ahead straight away (never mind waiting 7 days or the fact it has edits). But as it could also be a third party account interfering with his original request, he does need to clarify what he wants to happen... WjB scribe 03:32, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, that'll do. There may be more protocol to it, but you only need to follow protocol when you're on thin ice, right? When something is straightforward, use commonsense, and protocol be damned. Hesperian 12:27, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

What do you think about me starting a wikiproject on the Public Schools Association? to better organise articles relating to the schools within the organisation? For this to work, what kind of supporter base would be required, because ive noted that there is a WP:Red Hot Chilli Peppers one, and i think it would make it easier for other PSA-school users to work together on related issues?

Would you know where to start with this issue?-- Fancyfootwork 11:25, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Perth, believe it or not, was next on my list to activate. I (perhaps incorrectly) assumed most of you WA folk had moved over to WP WA and your focus was there. I'll see what I can do a litle later tonight (within an hour or so, just getting the kids into bed for school tomorrow) and aim to get WP Perth up to date with the rest of them. :) -- Longhair\ talk 09:46, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about the redirect--I failed to make the distinction between City of Darwin and Darwin, Northern Territory on first reading. Finngall 18:53, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
thanks for the barnstar! it is fun making maps. by the way Image:Swan River Colony land grants map.png might interest you if you hadnt seen it already -- Astrokey 44 00:39, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
As I learned the hard way, if you have a stake in a speedily deleted article, it is better to ask the deleter to reverse their actions, or get another admin to undelete it, rather than undeleting it yourself. That way, you maintain the illusionimpression that admins only ever use their tools to enforce community consensus and standards, and never for their own ends. Having undeleted it, you ought to let Betacommand know what you've done. Well done for taking it to AfD though. (Don't stress about this, it is a minor issue, and BITE applies to newb admins too ;-) )

Anything you can do to help clarify the position would be helpful. I agree it was probably a misunderstanding and he created the account he wished to usurp. If that account confirms it is willing to be usurped, the usurpation can go ahead straight away (never mind waiting 7 days or the fact it has edits). But as it could also be a third party account interfering with his original request, he does need to clarify what he wants to happen... WjB scribe 03:32, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for support in my unsuccessful RfA. I appreciate the support, and am disappointed on being judged by what in most opinions seem to be the wrong things. Until next time, edit on! :) — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 03:53, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey, this is Smbarnzy here! this is just a quick message to inform you of my change of username, i have decided (due to unforseen circumstances) to change accounts rather than usurp. All the best Twenty Years 06:08, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, that'll do. There may be more protocol to it, but you only need to follow protocol when you're on thin ice, right? When something is straightforward, use commonsense, and protocol be damned. Hesperian 12:27, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Just looked at your infoboxes for the first time. I also enjoy Ænima. Hesperian 11:32, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Actually, it's not just limited to that article, it's always the same IP, and if you have a look, the same IP likes to vandalise other pages too... Anothermelbournite 11:53, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your support on my RFA, which ended successfully. Cheers! SGGH 20:25, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, haven't seen you online in a while so I thought i'd make sure you're alive. Have a laugh at this from BJAODN, hillarious. Fancy awarding this to some of the more annoying editors which cross our paths? thewinchester 07:49, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I've been signed up for all of... two days now. Done a bit here and a bit there but I find there's so much the FAQ sections don't answer (always the questions I want to ask) and I'm generally to scared to be shouted at for wasting someone's time. I think I could do with being adopted. We're in totally different timezones but I've checked the list of adopter-type people and I seem to match best with you. Let me know, thanks Douglike 17:21, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
What do you think about me starting a wikiproject on the Public Schools Association? to better organise articles relating to the schools within the organisation? For this to work, what kind of supporter base would be required, because ive noted that there is a WP:Red Hot Chilli Peppers one, and i think it would make it easier for other PSA-school users to work together on related issues? Some thoughts.... many thanks Twenty Years 11:17, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
