Bottom of the page defies common sense and all other accepted norms in computing as no one is going to look for the latest entry at the bottom are they. And even so wikipedia itself uses most recent at top if you look at any history page for any article. Defies logic, but anyhows, just wanted to be first to tell the wiki world about another headline. Who cares whether anyone agrees with the article. no one. it's another piece of NEWS. hooray. Besides I don't have an opinion other than yippee I was first to tell you about it. petedavo@iinet.net.au 10:10, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}}
on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!
OK, right you are, we should all stick to the rules.
I think your getting me confused with someone else thou, since there's an implication in the post. For the record: I didn't know about the wiki article on Wagerup till I read about it in the Newspaper, So, I'm not the person who spoke to the newspaper. Nor, am I the Alcoa person either. I work for the WA Police and live too far away from Wagerup to really be insterested in forming an opinion on any debate on a local issue. If you think I shouldn't of posted the entry in the Wagerup talk then just edit it out. I don't care - the editors will probably delete it anyway. Have fun! petedavo 03:52, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Good to see you checkedout the Australian and West Australian project pages- hope you you enjoy your stay on wikipedia.... SatuSuro 04:20, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Most importantly, enjoy it here! Fred 07:14, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Cheers! I think I'll probably muddle thru and be in the sandpit for a while, like i was on Google Earth, and then have to go back and fix a lot of my bugger ups, but fortunately there are others to edit too.

I love those templates for joining up, so I tried to make one, for the clans of scotland project but I'm hopelessly lost. Hopefully someone else will come along and fix it up?? petedavo 08:49, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
The templates are under construction. I left them a message about this. Red links are non-existent pages and should not be on that page. Hopefully they will fix it soon. Fred 10:50, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Fixed this on your user page, O78 did the rest. Let him know if you find a better image. Fred 11:55, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the refs Petedavo. Seeya round. — Moondyne 14:06, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Woodleigh is being misrepresented in the Impact_crater article. Unfortunately they based their facts on a the Earth Impact Databasewhich is not an Authority on these matters. Unfortunately the web is like that thou, sometimes an opinion becomes a fact. Anyway read for yourselves at WA Geological Survey Meteorite Impacts in Western Australiaand make up your own mind. After going to WAIT to do Geology I'm probably biased. petedavo 08:03, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Good work on the Catalpa Rescue References Petedavo. Welcome to wiki WA. Ghostieguide 00:08, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
The citation warriors will probably require some documentation on some of that stuff.... just because you know it is no longer a defence sufficient - dont say i didnt warn ya! Satu Suro 07:52, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
I was actually looking thru the PTA website just thinking that and getting cheesed because thye have bugger all in there (actually nothing) so I was wondering if someone would help out, when I just get this notice that I have a message.
Maybe it's good luck, because my spelling/typos are not he best so I was/now am asking if anyone could discover some references. petedavo 08:07, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Not easy - over-reliance on web sites as a ref is one of my bugbears - look at the WAGR article - and the refs at the bottom - the 'making of westrail book might back some stuff up - otherwise there are enthusiast web sites - try typing things into google and see if you can find them - they might help, or not Satu Suro 08:11, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
I'll have to use books like Carden's because the web wasn't invented till the last few decades. Geez I feel old now.. Must be time for a nap. LOL. At least I still have my teeth and hair. I have a mnth off coming up so I'll have to go down to the Libary to look up my citations. My typing is getting worse in this heat. My brain must be cooked. petedavo 08:19, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
I see you started this page. You might want to consider making these pages in your own user space and migrating it to wikipedia's main page when you are done. At this point a "TODO" in the page is inappropriate. Would you mind adding a {{stub}} statement to the page instead of the TODO? // BankingBum 09:24, 25 February 2007 (UTC) $$

Thought I'd do a clean up the references for the Brian_Burke page and add current factual info, before some nutter starts throwing in anything controversial and probably defamatory. Just a tinker anyway to set the scene so you guys can keep it in check. petedavo 07:51, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Is like the list of courts - trying to work out why one earth blue links turn up when they should be red- the disambig issue! theres the fun Satu Suro 11:18, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
