Hiya. Ive just created a new (and better, imo) userbox for soulseek and i thought is share it. you can look at it here. this new box allows you to share your soulseek username in the box itself. also, it adds your userpage to a category called "soulseek users". if you dont like the box but you want to be in the catergory just add [[Category: Soulseek users]]. anyhoo, just thought id let you know. - (chubbstar) — talk | contrib | 06:22, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey,
Good work with Infobox Town AU, good idea. I cleaned it up a bit, hope you dont mind :)

Hey,
In your WA work, you should start trying | LGA = [[Harvey, Western Australia|Harvey]]
because then it will show as a link rather than as just text. --

G'day Orderinchaos78. W/respect to your edit of Curtin University, changing the location, which I have reverted. This argument is old, see at User talk:GordonE/Controversies#Victoria Park, the first discussion on the page. I won't recap it here, suffice to say that the same reasoning applies to quite a lot of "Perth" institutions/landmarks which I placed in their proper homes in the pursuit of encyclopedic precision and accuracy. Please respond here, on your Talk page. Gordon | Talk, 1November 2006 @13:42 UTC

I made it ages ago, before we had standard templates. It was obviously redundant now, so I have deleted it. Hesperian 05:44, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your work on the article. However, I'm not sure it is entirely accurate. While some services in Christmas Island are provided for by the government of Western Australia, it is not itself, nor is the Shire, considered part of Western Australia. To have it state that so prominently at the top of the infobox is a serious problem. └ OzLawyer / talk ┐ 15:29, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

How do you feel about moving this to Indigenous peoples of Australia? For one thing that's the name of the category the article is in. It also looks like the article discusses a collection of different peoples, so I think this title would be more appropriate. Let me know. Zarbat 05:32, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

My intention was to make one good faith attempt to remove the material and re-educate this user, and then, if the user insisted on reposting the material without consensus, move immediately to consideration of blocks and/or page protection. But subsequent events have made me a party to the dispute. If I were to take action now, it would give the impression that I was using my admin tools to gain the upper hand in a dispute, which is forbidden. We'll have to ask someone else to take this on. I'll have a think about how to proceed. My apologies for achieving less than nothing. Hesperian 22:43, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. I reckoned it must have been something like that, but I don't like messing around with templates and anyway they looked ok to me ! To be honest, even as someone who lived near the other Perth, it seems odd not to make Perth a redirect to Perth, Western Australia. It seems a racing cert that a random mention of "Perth" doesn't mean the one in Scotland. Cheers ! Angus McLellan (Talk) 09:41, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your help there - its looking better!

I think there's a need for this to be a good eg of what happens when the land developers try naming a place one thing befoire going to the geographic names (precursors nomenclature advisory board - lovely name) and the government call it another thing - are you up on that at all? SatuSuro 06:25, 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)
I just stumbled on this and was very impressed. Good work. — Moondyne 05:08, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for you contribution of the Fisherman's Bend article. I have had to, however, redirect it to the Port Melbourne, Victoria article and move across the content (minus the infobox). The reason is that it is currently a locality and not a suburb. Make sure you do a search on the Australian Geographical Place Names database http://www.ga.gov.au/map/names/ before adding a suburb. If it comes up with a result of LOCB (Locality Bounded) and is not already in the wiki, it is ok to add. If it comes up with a LOCU (Locality Unbounded) then find the suburb it belongs to first. Chances are the content may already be there. Cheers. -- Biatch 06:31, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
I might have just done a wrong revert on this art - what do you think? Small cf Singapores Changi maybe - but, ...? SatuSuro 12:39, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
I took out the part about the power station being in gould creek because it is actually in Hillbank I take it you used the UBD street directory for your infomation. the street directory is wrong with this suburb boundry I don't know why but otherwise it is a good article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mirrabooka ( talk • contribs) 25 Nov 2006

Hey!
I really commend your work with WP:IAP, it makes a huge difference. I noticed you were editing Template:MelbSuburbBox1 the same time I was coz i kept getting edit conflicts (so i moved to Template:Infobox Australian Suburb2 instead.
Anyway, keep up the good work! -- TheJosh 06:39, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Maybe you should let gnang and moon know as well - there's the possibility that with holidays starting we're going to get this style of editing on certain arts and we will have to invent a new welcome template specifically for this sort - yellow ducky in the bathtub image with rottweiler image and perhaps some careful delicate explanation of fear of death of bandwidht and wiki server collapse... SatuSuro 08:33, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
In the Great Eastern Highway article, you state that Meadow Street is signed as State Route 51, not State Route 52. The latter is true, however. If you don't believe me, take a drive out there; after all, I live in the northern foothills, and know all about the roads in the Guildford-Midland area.-- M W Johnson 12:57, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. Oh, and if you think that is unreliable signage, take a drive both down and up Roe Highway sometime. There are at least 3 incorrect signage occurances heading on the highway southbound, and one heading northbound. See if you can find them!-- M W Johnson 13:08, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Actually - between the Guildford or Helena road bridges and west Midland/Woodbridge the visual chaos for the average punter has not been helped by the signage anyways SatuSuro 02:40, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi,
I see that you're replacing the old template "BrisSuburbBox" with the new infobox. Thanks for doing this! However, I have started a discussion on WP:AWNB#Median_property_prices_in_Brisbane_suburb_articles that might interest you, concerning the "Property Value" field that you're including in all of them. I thought that as you were one of the ones doing a lot of the work, that it might be of particular interest to you.
Cheers,
Lankiveil 02:16, 3 December 2006 (UTC).

Hi Orderinchaos78, thanks for your comments. While I have been plodding around Victoria in your dust cloud, I have noticed you have been on a whirlwind trip around Australia, with a mighty effort on infoboxes, occasionaly hovering for substantial edits as well as keeping the burbs honest during your tour of duty.

I am hoping to catch up with gn soon to compare notes on a ver large number of jpegs - they might or might not direct a Perth CBD photo set - or not. Getting so caught up in the maritime hist project (did I tell you) and bits of indonesia and general scattered loose head stuff that - no there seemed to be a general seized moment like all other 1,432 threads that I have had the pleasure of inflicting upon others :) - I mean my watch lists is closwly creeping to 3,000 and my edit - well I havent even found a working counter - probably 99.98 percent talk page or something like that. Anyways keep in contact - need to nut out a number of Perth project issues! SatuSuro 13:16, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
of something else - but I suspect we need the Perth road thing with Wellington north boundary, river south, causeway east, and barracks arch west - not every street needs to be done - but Ireckon the disambigs with other places for most of the streets will be fun alone. Will try to let you know somehow of the outcome of the bringing the photo out exercise wqhenerver it happens. SatuSuro 11:50, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Welcome, Orderinchaos78, to Esperanza! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.
Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. You can support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.
In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Proposals.
If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact our administrator general Natalya by email or talk page. Consider introducing yourself at the Esperanza talk page! Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an IRC tutorial. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!
I was thinking of making a wikimedia extention, like ParserFunctions, say called ParserCode that would provide a complete programming language within the page.
ex:
{{ #code: for $a = 0 to 9 echo "$param[$a]\n" next $a }}
That would look through the first 10 parameters fed to the function, outputting them. -- TheJosh 07:59, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
{{{!}} class="wikitable" style="margin: 2px;"
and replacing it with a {{!}}-

I don't think you should be tagging places out of WP:AUSPLACES when you tag them into WP:WA. I think of it as akin to the category system: Until we have [[Category:Places of Western Australia]], we categorise articles into both [[Category:Places of Australia]] and [[Category:Western Australia]]. In the same way, until/unless someone creates WikiProject Western Australian places, articles like Barrow Island (Western Australia) should be tagged into both WikiProject Australian places and WikiProject Western Australia.
The other way to look at it is that this article still comes within WP:AUSPLACES defined sphere of interest. There's no OWNership of articles here, so we can declare an interest in an article but we can't tell another WikiProject to lose interest.

Where would I be able to get information on this? I've always been fascinated by how telephone systems work and especially the way telephone numbers are allocated. The only way I'd be able to access books is by scanning them but the scanning program I use can handle most texts as long as they're not handwritten. Do you have any material in digital form on this?

Hi, I've looked on Auspost, Australian Gazetteer and in the Melway but can only see one Gardenvale (3185) - 3187 is the postcode for its neighbour to the south, Brighton East. On searching Google I get 2 matches (with 37 duplicates) of two federal awards with addresses in Gardenvale 3187 which are clearly in the 3185 one (Perfect Blinds and Stripwood Antiques, 113 and 131 Gardenvale Road). My 1998 UBD suggests Gardenvale was at that time an ungazetted locality split along Gardenvale Road between Elsternwick (3185) and Brighton East (3187) - this may explain the odd distinction. Might actually give Glen Eira a call and see what they say. Thanks for bringing it up. Orderinchaos78 22:41, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
Also, don't forget to call Bayside City Council because the Gardenvale 3187 is in Bayside. I do recall someone telling me that Gardenvale 3185 is the smallest suburb in Victoria. 136.186.1.193 03:39, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Doesn't Gardenvale begin at Gardenvale Rd not Elster Ave?136.186.1.192 20:36, 21 December 2006 (UTC) 136.186.1.192 20:37, 21 December 2006 (UTC) no woories mate - thanks for all that - it is true what they say - you learn something everyday - thanks for your contribution to our local history.

Hi. Thanks for e.mail, reply tomorrow. Just noticed this yr note at hesp's. I have come across a few suburb articles when wikilinking related things. This is way above those in quality. The only comment I can make is the difficulty of representing a suburb with a picture. Maybe a plan view from somewhere? Fred 13:20, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
P.S. Politics section is very good. Take your skills to the Western suburbs pages. "They consistently vote Liberal" is about all you get. Slightly weighted phrasing throughout these arts. Fred
I'm speechless. Your templates are amazing. Are the colours arbitrary? Think the one at Hams. has the edge for legibility. The other for neatness, is undisruptive. Is temporal data ok from WP POV or do you anticipate it will be updated. Probably will be. Tables with data already entered are simpler for wikidiots like me to edit. I didn't realise Hamersley was your bench mark. My new years Resolution will be to make better use of my subpages, as you have. Regards Fred 14:15, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your work on the article. However, I'm not sure it is entirely accurate. While some services in Christmas Island are provided for by the government of Western Australia, it is not itself, nor is the Shire, considered part of Western Australia.

Thanks for the info. I reckoned it must have been something like that, but I don't like messing around with templates and anyway they looked ok to me ! To be honest, even as someone who lived near the other Perth, it seems odd not to make Perth a redirect to Perth, Western Australia.

(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)

Thanks for you contribution of the Fisherman's Bend article. I have had to, however, redirect it to the Port Melbourne, Victoria article and move across the content (minus the infobox). The reason is that it is currently a locality and not a suburb. Make sure you do a search on the Australian Geographical Place Names database http://www.ga.gov.au/map/names/ before adding a suburb. If it comes up with a result of LOCB (Locality Bounded) and is not already in the wiki, it is ok to add. If it comes up with a LOCU (Locality Unbounded) then find the suburb it belongs to first. Chances are the content may already be there. Cheers. -- Biatch 06:31, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey!
I really commend your work with WP:IAP, it makes a huge difference. I noticed you were editing Template:MelbSuburbBox1 the same time I was coz i kept getting edit conflicts (so i moved to Template:Infobox Australian Suburb2 instead.
Anyway, keep up the good work! -- TheJosh 06:39, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Maybe you should let gnang and moon know as well - there's the possibility that with holidays starting we're going to get this style of editing on certain arts and we will have to invent a new welcome template specifically for this sort - yellow ducky in the bathtub image with rottweiler image and perhaps some careful delicate explanation of fear of death of bandwidht and wiki server collapse... SatuSuro 08:33, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
In the Great Eastern Highway article, you state that Meadow Street is signed as State Route 51, not State Route 52. The latter is true, however. If you don't believe me, take a drive out there; after all, I live in the northern foothills, and know all about the roads in the Guildford-Midland area.-- M W Johnson 12:57, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. Oh, and if you think that is unreliable signage, take a drive both down and up Roe Highway sometime. There are at least 3 incorrect signage occurances heading on the highway southbound, and one heading northbound. See if you can find them!-- M W Johnson 13:08, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi,
I see that you're replacing the old template "BrisSuburbBox" with the new infobox. Thanks for doing this! However, I have started a discussion on WP:AWNB#Median_property_prices_in_Brisbane_suburb_articles that might interest you, concerning the "Property Value" field that you're including in all of them. I thought that as you were one of the ones doing a lot of the work, that it might be of particular interest to you.

While I have been plodding around Victoria in your dust cloud, I have noticed you have been on a whirlwind trip around Australia, with a mighty effort on infoboxes, occasionaly hovering for substantial edits as well as keeping the burbs honest during your tour of duty. Well done!-- Melburnian 13:21, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Where did you get the figure of 9000 from as the population of Potts Point? I got the previous number from the 2001 census results. 9000 is a very unlikely round figure. -- Gene_poole 02:37, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Your recalcitrant anon seems to have been scared off by the prospect of discussion. That was easy. Hesperian 06:19, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
dam i sneezed, just upload the images to commons under the same name that they have here, once thats done drop me a list of images and I'll delete them. Just remember that you cant change licensing when you load them to commons. Gnangarra 15:36, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
I am hoping to catch up with gn soon to compare notes on a ver large number of jpegs - they might or might not direct a Perth CBD photo set - or not. Getting so caught up in the maritime hist project (did I tell you) and bits of indonesia and general scattered loose head stuff that - no there seemed to be a general seized moment like all other 1,432 threads that I have had the pleasure of inflicting upon others :) - I mean my watch lists is closwly creeping to 3,000 and my edit - well I havent even found a working counter - probably 99.98 percent talk page or something like that. Anyways keep in contact - need to nut out a number of Perth project issues! SatuSuro 13:16, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
of something else - but I suspect we need the Perth road thing with Wellington north boundary, river south, causeway east, and barracks arch west - not every street needs to be done - but Ireckon the disambigs with other places for most of the streets will be fun alone. Will try to let you know somehow of the outcome of the bringing the photo out exercise wqhenerver it happens. SatuSuro 11:50, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Hobart#The_four_Hobarts - I think is direcctly relevant to Perth - what do you think? SatuSuro 02:40, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
I saw your note on Satu's page and see that you do requests (just joking). If you or anyone else reading this is going down Mandurah way in the next week or so, I need some shots of the Dawesville Cut. Else I'll go down myself in a couple of weekends time. — Moondyne 15:33, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Welcome, Orderinchaos78, to Esperanza! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.
Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. You can support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.
In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Proposals.
If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact our administrator general Natalya by email or talk page. Consider introducing yourself at the Esperanza talk page! Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an IRC tutorial. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!
I was thinking of making a wikimedia extention, like ParserFunctions, say called ParserCode that would provide a complete programming language within the page.
ex:
{{ #code: for $a = 0 to 9 echo "$param[$a]\n" next $a }}
That would look through the first 10 parameters fed to the function, outputting them. -- TheJosh 07:59, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
{{{!}} class="wikitable" style="margin: 2px;"
and replacing it with a {{!}}-
, and also changing the line {{!}}} | {{{!}} class="prettytable"
to | {{{!}} class="prettytable"
. You would probably want to move that line to the last line so there is no bad whitespace. --

Re: Roads; it was a rushed late-night comment. I meant to imply that the strength of wikipedia is its interconnectedness. Culture, art, sport, science, etcetera -focused editors can collaborate on pages via the project. Geography is not my strength (pls don't tell satu suro!) but will consult you when needed. Still finding my feet on WP. Two (2) pages and counting ... Fred.e 13:43, 18 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; Template:User WikiProject Western Australia Cheers! -- M W Johnson 00:00, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Maybe the more vocal ones - then there's the hidden mass of the users - ironically theres a couple of very consistent editors who dont like to use theirs or others tlk page at all... ? .... SatuSuro 06:55, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
I don't think you should be tagging places out of WP:AUSPLACES when you tag them into WP:WA. I think of it as akin to the category system: Until we have [[Category:Places of Western Australia]], we categorise articles into both [[Category:Places of Australia]] and [[Category:Western Australia]]. In the same way, until/unless someone creates WikiProject Western Australian places, articles like Barrow Island (Western Australia) should be tagged into both WikiProject Australian places and WikiProject Western Australia.
The other way to look at it is that this article still comes within WP:AUSPLACES defined sphere of interest. There's no OWNership of articles here, so we can declare an interest in an article but we can't tell another WikiProject to lose interest.

Where would I be able to get information on this? I've always been fascinated by how telephone systems work and especially the way telephone numbers are allocated. The only way I'd be able to access books is by scanning them but the scanning program I use can handle most texts as long as they're not handwritten. Do you have any material in digital form on this? I grabbed the Western Australian list of phone number prefixes that used to be here at the ACA ebsite but that's the only material I have. Graham 87 11:40, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
The latest edit to albany, and some others suggest the season is indeed. I think I may well quit for a while - or ignore my watch list when red link editors show up - I have just bitten a newcomer elsewhere- after having handled some with cottom wool unnecessarily yester day - I cant seeem to get a balance with it.

(for my ref: *)
Hi. There are two Gardenvales - one is Gardenvale 3185 and Gardenvale 3187. Can you fix that up by making two articles one Gardenvale (3185) and other Gardenvale (3187). Maybe even a Gardenvale (Disambiguity) giving links to both suburbs. Cheers 136.186.1.197 21:36, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I've looked on Auspost, Australian Gazetteer and in the Melway but can only see one Gardenvale (3185) - 3187 is the postcode for its neighbour to the south, Brighton East. On searching Google I get 2 matches (with 37 duplicates) of two federal awards with addresses in Gardenvale 3187 which are clearly in the 3185 one (Perfect Blinds and Stripwood Antiques, 113 and 131 Gardenvale Road). My 1998 UBD suggests Gardenvale was at that time an ungazetted locality split along Gardenvale Road between Elsternwick (3185) and Brighton East (3187) - this may explain the odd distinction. Might actually give Glen Eira a call and see what they say. Thanks for bringing it up. Orderinchaos78 22:41, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
Also, don't forget to call Bayside City Council because the Gardenvale 3187 is in Bayside. I do recall someone telling me that Gardenvale 3185 is the smallest suburb in Victoria. 136.186.1.193 03:39, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Doesn't Gardenvale begin at Gardenvale Rd not Elster Ave?136.186.1.192 20:36, 21 December 2006 (UTC) 136.186.1.192 20:37, 21 December 2006 (UTC) no woories mate - thanks for all that - it is true what they say - you learn something everyday - thanks for your contribution to our local history.

Yeah you seem like a great guy, and I would be grateful. Tough luck about Daylight Savings, I've decided to keep my watch on Universal Time. I am currently in USA but will be back in Perth in early January. I miss Perth and the leafy streets, just thinking about how leafy it is makes me feel homesick. Don't get me wrong Boston is leafy enough but it is a different kind of leafy-likeliness. -- AresAndEnyo 21:57, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
Otherwise I would have sent you a very long email.

Hi. Thanks for e.mail, reply tomorrow. Just noticed this yr note at hesp's. I have come across a few suburb articles when wikilinking related things. This is way above those in quality. The only comment I can make is the difficulty of representing a suburb with a picture. Maybe a plan view from somewhere? Fred 13:20, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
P.S. Politics section is very good. Take your skills to the Western suburbs pages. "They consistently vote Liberal" is about all you get. Slightly weighted phrasing throughout these arts. Fred
I'm speechless. Your templates are amazing. Are the colours arbitrary? Think the one at Hams. has the edge for legibility. The other for neatness, is undisruptive. Is temporal data ok from WP POV or do you anticipate it will be updated. Probably will be. Tables with data already entered are simpler for wikidiots like me to edit. I didn't realise Hamersley was your bench mark. My new years Resolution will be to make better use of my subpages, as you have. Regards Fred 14:15, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Colours from a template also created by you! I'm starting to glean how they work from this conversation. I'm going to start swiping your code, as well. I'm afraid your reply requires another email. Asleep at the keyboard currently, so tomorrow. Except for this mad idea:
