Hi bellman, and welcome to Wikipedia.
Thankyou for finding the time to sign up and contribute to our little project. If you're in doubt about anything, you might want to check out some of these pages:
It's also a good idea to sign the new user log and add a little about yourself.
When contributing to a talk page, you can sign your name by typing four tildes after your comments, like this: ~~~~. (Just so you know, some people won't pay attention to unsigned comments).
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me at my talk page, or at the Help desk or Village Pump.
Above all, make sure you be bold when contributing, and have fun!

Nah, not a problem if you want to put it back in. I just took it out because it didn't exist and I thought the content was covered in one of the World War II articles. If you create it, the best name would probably be something like 1942 bombing of Darwin but as it is a wartime event I may be wrong on that. Best thing to do would be integrate the details into one of the WW2 articles and link to that. -- Chuq 08:26, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikiproject Sydney! Good to have you on board :-) Please feel free to modify any content on the page as we're still formulating strategy/policy. - Ta bu shi da yu 13:35, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Hi bellman, I'd prefer to keep the stub notice on this article until we can make it a "featured suburb". It could be that "stub" is the wrong work, however. - Ta bu shi da yu 09:03, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Hi bellman, I've moved References to User:The_bellman/References and made a redirect of References to Citation because discussing of policy should not be done in the main namespace. Though I do tend to agree with you on this matter! Just thought I'd let you know. - Ta bu shi da yu 13:55, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Having seen your comment under African Union on COTW I thought you might be interested to know (in case you haven't already heard) that there is a recently launched WikiProject aiming to improve several under-covered areas of the Wikipedia. African issues is one of the main priorities of this project. If you're interested, you'll find more at Countering systemic bias. Alarm 16:26, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

That sounds like an interesting project. That article has some rather advanced sentences, and some of the sentences that would be formed by the English translation might be awkward in an English article about this subject. Howevver, I will definitely help in whatever way I can. Academic Challenger 05:48, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for your invitation to translate bellman. I did a translation but fortunately Chamelon retranslated and he did a good job. I think I need more skill. Best regards-- Jondel 11:15, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Cheers also for the invitation to help on the Spanish translation. Going through it now and it seems more or less very well translated :). Hauser
Thanks for the invite; the translation seemed pretty much complete, but there was definitely room for improvement in the English. I did some, there's still a bit more left to do (and in the Spanish version too, I think). @alex 02:43, 2004 Oct 26 (UTC)

Work at USyd, involved in left groups in Sydney, hang out with the latin american dance crew at UNcle. I'm happy to have my POV on APESMA changed, but APESMA has a reputation as an appeaser, a bosses' union, an inactive union, a "Professional association" with the historical connotations, a union opposed to industrial action in principle, a scab union (doesn't go out when the others onsite do), and a poacher (see for instance the AMWU's ambit in re engineers and other kindred professions). In terms of direct dealings, I know that APESMA does poorly by its student members. Happy to have my POV (and its obviously POV) countered. yours cordially, Fifelfoo 02:42, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Hi bellman,
Thank you for correct my user page! The text was bizarre – since I wrote it, I learned more about English.
About the camera, I don't have one, and even if a got, I lived in metropolitan region of São Paulo, not necessarily in the centre... I'll try to find a picture with sufficient resolution to print, but I'm more focused in finding something about the northeastern sertão.
The tri-lingual translation is a great idea. The pt Wikipedia has lots of articles translated from en, so it's hard to find articles about Latin America even there! I'm working in pt:Carnaval, and other specific themes about our people needs urgently to be developed. I think the project you're proposing could force the development of these articles. I'm on it. Marcelo R. 15:39, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Why did you blank this page? Lupo 10:41, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Not really a bunch, but enough I guess. They're at User:Pilaf/Pictures. Haven't got too many responses on the other Village Pumps, likely due to machine translated messages. Then again, there is a fair amount of French speaker that have listed themselves as being interested, so presume that's how they found out. And oy! That user page is confusing at first glance! -- user:zanimum
You voted for U.S. embargo against Cuba, this week's Collaboration of the week. Please come and help it become a featured- standard article.
Hi!
I'm writing to let you know that the Wikimedia Board of Trustees has approved the first stage of the Wikinews project. There's now a fully operational English demo site at demo.wikinews.org. This will be used for experimenting with various review models and basic policies before the site is launched officially in about a week. demo.wikinews.org will become the English version later.
You voted for the Wikinews project, so I'm asking for your participation now. Everything is open, nothing is final. What Wikinews will and can be depends in large part on you. There already is a global Wikinews mailing list for discussing the project. If you are interested at all, please subscribe -- coordination is of key importance. There's also an IRC channel #wikinews on irc.freenode.net. Realtime discussion can help to polish up articles.
If you're looking for something to do, check out the articles in development and articles in review. Or start a new story in the Wikinews workspace, or ignore the proposed review system - it's up to you. I hope you'll join us soon in this exciting experiment.-- Eloquence * 01:58, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)
There's lots of good material in Spanish. I translate about one or two a week myself. Have people been having trouble finding articles worth translating? I made a couple of suggestions myself, but usually when I find things worth doing, I just jump in and translate. If it would be useful for me to come up with a list of articles worth translating, I'm sure I could come up with at least a dozen, probably more. -- Jmabel | Talk 08:26, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC)
I've made considerable additions to the list. Let me know if you need even more, but I think this should be a decent pool. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:13, Nov 21, 2004 (UTC)

Hello Bellman,
I really like the Australian and New Zealand Flags alot. Their respectively National Flags (Blue Ensigns) are both elagant and beautiful designs (in my POV). I also love their Red Ensign counterparts,
Australia Red Ensign(Merchant Ensign of the Navy)
http://flagspot.net/images/a/au-red.gif
New Zealand Red Ensign (Merchant Ensign of the Navy)
http://flagspot.net/images/n/nz_civil.gif
Proposed 1964 Canadian Red Ensign (Possible new National Flag)
http://scaa.usask.ca/gallery/flagdisplay/images/web/panel13-3.jpg
I really love this "Star Constillation" theme. The Australia and New Zealand Red Ensigns have the Southern Cross, and in kinship the (proposed) Canadian Red Ensign has Big Dipper.
I sincerely hope that the Red Ensign page will become unlocked someday, and your contributions Bellman, would be a true pleasure to read.
Sincerely,
ArmChairVexillologistDon ArmchairVexillologistDon 17:50, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hi, Bellman! I have just read your message about the Quechua wikibook, because I haven't been around here for a long time. Thanx for ringing your bell to me with your suggestion. My main problem both right now and in general is lack of time but your message's been a truly nice surprise. Interesting thing, the Quechua wikibook. Too many interesting and pithy things everywhere in Wikiworld! As one of my friends told me in a really difficult time of my life "This world is beautiful because is diverse". That could be said as well about Wikiworld, and that diversity is one of the things that help me in difficult moments. I'll try and see if I can help when I get some time. Thanx once again! - Piolinfax 22:35, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
In response to your question about my Ipanema photo (from a month ago), yes you can use it under CC-BY-SA. You can also help yourself to more at www.freewisdom.org/Brazil. You can tak any photos without identifiable people in them under CC-BY-SA.

Ah, now you understand some of the bad things about interwiki redirects. You need to manually construct a url with &redirect=no at the end in the browser address bar, in the case of your wikibooks user page, it's at http://en.wikibooks.org/?title=User:The_bellman&redirect=no . You'll also need to do it for your talk page at http://en.wikibooks.org/?title=User_talk:The_bellman&redirect=no . Gentgeen 09:47, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I'm glad to hear you like the info on Romania! It's true that many people don't know much about it, and informing them is a great thing, even if they are from as far away as Australia :) I will continue to write about 2-3 articles a day about Romania. Cheers, Ronline 10:46, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC) (BTW - do you know when the language versions for Wikinews will be launched. I'm looking forward to a version a Romanian!)
What's your opinion on how the Workspace should, er, work? Amgine wants all stories to be listed at once on the front page, so other people start editing them. When we last tried that I found people were clicking red links and beginning to write articles I was already writing from scratch, just hadn't finished (so not saved) yet. This gave biiig edit conflicts. What's your opinion? Dan100 11:09, Jan 23, 2005 (UTC)
PS you should get proper user pages over on Wikinews! :)
Hi bellman, I found your conversion of "he" to "they" http://en.wikibooks.org/?title=Gardening&diff=next&oldid=88553 . Besides the fact, that there is a mistake now (he becomes -> they becomes), it is after all a historic book. Should we suggest to let it be moved to WikiSource? What do you think... -- Andreas Ipp 09:40, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC) -- Andreas 09:38, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I've just revived the COTW (now COTF), and Darwin is the next one off the block. You asked to be informed if it got up - it'd be nice to have some added participation there. It's been a while since we had a success story - it'd be nice to make this one of them. Ambi 08:32, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Sounds good to me. I could be able to help some - it'll depend on work and activist campaigns (most of which will be really building up around July 1, for obvious reasons). Have any other Canberrans been interested? (oh, and the other thing - I'm not familiar with the OR guidelines, but I'm a little privacy conscious, so if I can't remain anonymous, then I'm probably out) Ambi 14:09, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
You uploaded onto the commons Image:Gyandendar-royaldress.jpg without a copyright tag... could you please add one? because... it's a nice image and if it is free it should be noted so that it doesn't get deleted. gren 04:50, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I don't want an edit war here, but at Mexican Revolution you removed the "expert" template, claiming it "doesn't exist".

Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
MAX (operating system), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
MAX (operating system) is blatant
advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
MAX (operating system), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at
WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the
bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click

A tag has been placed on Molinux, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{
hangon}}
on the top of
Molinux and leave a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any
citations from independent
reliable sources to ensure that the article will be
verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}

edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Hi bellman, and welcome to Wikipedia.
Thankyou for finding the time to sign up and contribute to our little project. If you're in doubt about anything, you might want to check out some of these pages:
It's also a good idea to sign the new user log and add a little about yourself.
When contributing to a talk page, you can sign your name by typing four tildes after your comments, like this: ~~~~. (Just so you know, some people won't pay attention to unsigned comments).
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me at my talk page, or at the Help desk or Village Pump.
Above all, make sure you be bold when contributing, and have fun!

Nah, not a problem if you want to put it back in. I just took it out because it didn't exist and I thought the content was covered in one of the World War II articles. If you create it, the best name would probably be something like 1942 bombing of Darwin but as it is a wartime event I may be wrong on that. Best thing to do would be integrate the details into one of the WW2 articles and link to that. -- Chuq 08:26, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hi bellman, I've moved References to User:The_bellman/References and made a redirect of References to Citation because discussing of policy should not be done in the main namespace.

That sounds like an interesting project.

Howevver, I will definitely help in whatever way I can. Academic Challenger 05:48, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Cheers also for the invitation to help on the Spanish translation. Going through it now and it seems more or less very well translated :). Hauser

Work at USyd, involved in left groups in Sydney, hang out with the latin american dance crew at UNcle. I'm happy to have my POV on APESMA changed, but APESMA has a reputation as an appeaser, a bosses' union, an inactive union, a "Professional association" with the historical connotations, a union opposed to industrial action in principle, a scab union (doesn't go out when the others onsite do), and a poacher (see for instance the AMWU's ambit in re engineers and other kindred professions). In terms of direct dealings, I know that APESMA does poorly by its student members. Happy to have my POV (and its obviously POV) countered. yours cordially, Fifelfoo 02:42, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Hi bellman,
Thank you for correct my user page! The text was bizarre – since I wrote it, I learned more about English.
About the camera, I don't have one, and even if a got, I lived in metropolitan region of São Paulo, not necessarily in the centre... I'll try to find a picture with sufficient resolution to print, but I'm more focused in finding something about the northeastern sertão.
The tri-lingual translation is a great idea. The pt Wikipedia has lots of articles translated from en, so it's hard to find articles about Latin America even there! I'm working in pt:Carnaval, and other specific themes about our people needs urgently to be developed. I think the project you're proposing could force the development of these articles. I'm on it.

Not really a bunch, but enough I guess. They're at User:Pilaf/Pictures. Haven't got too many responses on the other Village Pumps, likely due to machine translated messages. Then again, there is a fair amount of French speaker that have listed themselves as being interested, so presume that's how they found out. And oy!

You voted for U.S. embargo against Cuba, this week's Collaboration of the week. Please come and help it become a featured- standard article.
Hi!
I'm writing to let you know that the Wikimedia Board of Trustees has approved the first stage of the Wikinews project. There's now a fully operational English demo site at demo.wikinews.org. This will be used for experimenting with various review models and basic policies before the site is launched officially in about a week. demo.wikinews.org will become the English version later.
You voted for the Wikinews project, so I'm asking for your participation now. Everything is open, nothing is final. What Wikinews will and can be depends in large part on you. There already is a global Wikinews mailing list for discussing the project. If you are interested at all, please subscribe -- coordination is of key importance. There's also an IRC channel #wikinews on irc.freenode.net. Realtime discussion can help to polish up articles.
If you're looking for something to do, check out the articles in development and articles in review. Or start a new story in the Wikinews workspace, or ignore the proposed review system - it's up to you. I hope you'll join us soon in this exciting experiment.-- Eloquence * 01:58, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)
There's lots of good material in Spanish. I translate about one or two a week myself. Have people been having trouble finding articles worth translating? I made a couple of suggestions myself, but usually when I find things worth doing, I just jump in and translate. If it would be useful for me to come up with a list of articles worth translating, I'm sure I could come up with at least a dozen, probably more. -- Jmabel | Talk 08:26, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC)

Hello Bellman,
I really like the Australian and New Zealand Flags alot. Their respectively National Flags (Blue Ensigns) are both elagant and beautiful designs (in my POV). I also love their Red Ensign counterparts,
Australia Red Ensign(Merchant Ensign of the Navy)
http://flagspot.net/images/a/au-red.gif
New Zealand Red Ensign (Merchant Ensign of the Navy)
http://flagspot.net/images/n/nz_civil.gif
Proposed 1964 Canadian Red Ensign (Possible new National Flag)
http://scaa.usask.ca/gallery/flagdisplay/images/web/panel13-3.jpg
I really love this "Star Constillation" theme. The Australia and New Zealand Red Ensigns have the Southern Cross, and in kinship the (proposed) Canadian Red Ensign has Big Dipper.
I sincerely hope that the Red Ensign page will become unlocked someday, and your contributions Bellman, would be a true pleasure to read.
Sincerely,
ArmChairVexillologistDon ArmchairVexillologistDon 17:50, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hi, Bellman! I have just read your message about the Quechua wikibook, because I haven't been around here for a long time. Thanx for ringing your bell to me with your suggestion. My main problem both right now and in general is lack of time but your message's been a truly nice surprise. Interesting thing, the Quechua wikibook. Too many interesting and pithy things everywhere in Wikiworld! As one of my friends told me in a really difficult time of my life "This world is beautiful because is diverse". That could be said as well about Wikiworld, and that diversity is one of the things that help me in difficult moments. I'll try and see if I can help when I get some time. Thanx once again! - Piolinfax 22:35, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Ah, now you understand some of the bad things about interwiki redirects. You need to manually construct a url with &redirect=no at the end in the browser address bar, in the case of your wikibooks user page, it's at http://en.wikibooks.org/?title=User:The_bellman&redirect=no .

I'm glad to hear you like the info on Romania! It's true that many people don't know much about it, and informing them is a great thing, even if they are from as far away as Australia :) I will continue to write about 2-3 articles a day about Romania. Cheers, Ronline 10:46, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC) (BTW - do you know when the language versions for Wikinews will be launched. I'm looking forward to a version a Romanian!)
What's your opinion on how the Workspace should, er, work? Amgine wants all stories to be listed at once on the front page, so other people start editing them. When we last tried that I found people were clicking red links and beginning to write articles I was already writing from scratch, just hadn't finished (so not saved) yet. This gave biiig edit conflicts. What's your opinion? Dan100 11:09, Jan 23, 2005 (UTC)
PS you should get proper user pages over on Wikinews! :)
Hi bellman, I found your conversion of "he" to "they" http://en.wikibooks.org/?title=Gardening&diff=next&oldid=88553 . Besides the fact, that there is a mistake now (he becomes -> they becomes), it is after all a historic book. Should we suggest to let it be moved to WikiSource?

I've just revived the COTW (now COTF), and Darwin is the next one off the block. You asked to be informed if it got up - it'd be nice to have some added participation there. It's been a while since we had a success story - it'd be nice to make this one of them. Ambi 08:32, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Sounds good to me. I could be able to help some - it'll depend on work and activist campaigns (most of which will be really building up around July 1, for obvious reasons). Have any other Canberrans been interested? (oh, and the other thing - I'm not familiar with the OR guidelines, but I'm a little privacy conscious, so if I can't remain anonymous, then I'm probably out) Ambi 14:09, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
MAX (operating system), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
MAX (operating system) is blatant
advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
MAX (operating system), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at
WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the
bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click

A tag has been placed on Molinux, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{
hangon}}
on the top of
Molinux and leave a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any
citations from independent
reliable sources to ensure that the article will be
verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}

edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other

speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Centerlink is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Centerlink until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Sheldybett ( talk) 11:10, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
