[edit] Television stations

Hi BigDan,

Fantastic work you've been doing on television stations! I have edited the Prime Television article to conform to wikipedia standards. Bold text is generally only used for the article title itself, and for other words or phrases that redirect to the article. Dates are usually formatted like [[1 Janauary]] [[2000]], this way the dates will automatically appear in the format each user has selected. Again, keep up the good work! -- Chuq 01:12, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] A-League

I noticed you removed the info on A-League from the National Soccer League (Australia) page on the basis that it is enough to create a new article. Like it says on the discussion page, I've started working on one, with the info there... the name A-League is already taken by an American league, so i titled it A-League (Australia). The work in progress can be found here - tell me what you think, add more info, or add it to the full website if you think it is ready. Thanks AlbinoMonkey 05:16, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Yeh, I had a look at the page, it looks good - I've got exams for the next 2 weeks, so I won't be making any changes to it. Thanks AlbinoMonkey 10:48, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] A-League (2)

I've merged the two A-League articles together, creating the A-League (Australia) page. Personally, I think it's a better title than Hyundai A-League, as the sponsorship may change and the page and links would need to be moved. However, changing the Hyundai A-League page into a re-direct to the A-League (Australia) page would solve any problems with people looking up 'Hyundai A-League', and links that are already linked to your page. I changed the message on the American version page, to my article. If you have any objection to the redirect, let me know. Thanks. AlbinoMonkey 05:44, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

My response: I have no objections to that...although I made one change...I deleted Terry Venables's name from the page, as he is no longer going to be the technical director of the Jets. BigDan 03:49, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Regional Television and Regional television

Hi, you seem to have duplicated content on one of these pages to create the other with a similar name. Did you really just want to move to a new name? If so there is a procedure to do this and you can work on the original article in the meantime. I can help if this is the case. One of the two articles will need to be deleted eventually because duplications are not permitted. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 20:44, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Thanks for your reply. If you tried to move Regional Television to Regional television this would fail because the latter already contains an article now. You need to go to Wikipedia:Requested moves and make an entry (copy the format of the others). Explain why it should be done. The merits of the move will be discussed and, if there is a consensus to move, it will be performed by an admin. When the move is performed, the entire edit history of the old article will be copied too. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 04:32, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Yes, in the future, if you want to change the name of a page, follow the instructions at "Wikipedia:How to rename (move) a page". Don't just copy the content, because every article has a page history showing changes. When you copy the content, that historical record is separated from it. -- Netoholic @ 03:10, 2005 Jan 18 (UTC) (Reply: thanks for the message.

[edit] Image source

Thank you for uploading Image:Andrew Johns.jpg. Please leave a note on that page about the source of the image because of copyright law. Thank you. --Ellmist 01:10, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC) Reply: on the page, I have mentioned that it came from the Newcastle Knights website.

Thank you. The source of the image says "Copyright © 2005 Newcastle Knights Limited. All rights reserved." Unfortunately, this means that we are not allowed to use this image unless fair use applies. IANAL, but I don't think it does. If you have no objections, I will post it on Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. --Ellmist 20:03, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC) Reply: Fair enough, do what you must. BigDan 03:55, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC).

Actually, I put it on Wikipedia:Copyright problems. I'm sorry about your wasted effort uploading that. --Ellmist 04:55, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC) (Reply: Don't worry about it. If there's rules, they've gotta be followed, I suppose...BigDan 10:28, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC))

Would you mind tagging Image:The Olympic Torch passes 2HD in 1956..gif and Image:The Transmitter building that was demolished in 1964..gif as well. BrokenSegue 19:10, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Reply: tagged them...thanks for the message :-) BigDan 23:58, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC))
And would you also please tag the excellent Image:BigDan Ugly Mug.JPG. I've temporarily tagged it as unverified, just so we can knock it off the list at WP:UI. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)
I've now tagged it, but why the request to tag a pic of my ugly mug? BigDan 11:53, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)
Arguably all images should be tagged, even if they are "only" used on user pages. At the least, if they are not, they'll come up every time we run a WP:UI exercise. More detail on the whys & wherefores of tagging on that page. Thanks for tagging it. --Tagishsimon (talk)

Could you also tag Image:Matthew_Johns.jpg? I taged it as unverfied for the meantime.FidoD 20:12, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] ABC radio stations

Hello BigDan, good to see another Australian radio fan on Wikipedia. I've been doing a little work on ABC Radio articles, e.g. 612 ABC Brisbane and 702 ABC Sydney. I'm part way through doing a list of all ABC Local Radio stations. I see that you've done one for ABC Upper Hunter. Two things I want to ask you:

(1) I believe that ABC Local Radio stations should have titles conforming with their on-air identity, e.g. "666 ABC Canberra" instead of "2CN". Would you agree to me changing the titles of 2NC and 2UH to "1233 ABC Newcastle" and "ABC Upper Hunter"?

(2) What's the on-air identity of ABC Upper Hunter and ABC Central West? You see, when I was in Wollongong, the on-air ID was always "97.3 ABC Illawarra" yet their website, http://www.abc.net.au/illawarra shows just "ABC Illawarra". I won't complete the list of ABC Local Radio stations until I'm sure of what the on-air identities are.

Good work on the Australian broadcasting pages, and I look forward to working with you. --Humehwy 06:03, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

I'd have no problems you changing the titles to conform with ABC on-air identity...as long as you keep 2UH and 2NC as redirects...also, ABC Upper Hunter only identifies as "ABC Upper Hunter" during the mornings when it airs its breakfast program. The rest of the time, they use 2NC's on-air IDs...I'm not sure about ABC Central West, I've never been able to recieve it...BigDan 13:57, July 18, 2005 (UTC)
I've moved both the 2NC and 2UH pages to 1233 ABC Newcastle and ABC Upper Hunter. It's okay, when you move pages, redirects are put into place automatically. I think it's better for on-air names to be used rather than callsigns -- for instance, nobody would title an article "2SYD" -- but "Nova 96.9" would be perfectly acceptable for the same station! By the way, the ABC website's reception guide doesn't give a transmitter for ABC Central West in Bathurst -- the main Orange area 549AM transmitter is supposed to suffice, I guess. Anyway check out 612 ABC Brisbane -- this is the format I'd like to use for ABC stations. For the regional stations, I'd have to determine whether their on-air ID is "xxx ABC Region_Name" or just "ABC Region_Name". --Humehwy 05:40, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
Ah good...I know there's no ABC Central West transmitter in Bathurst...the 50kw transmitter in Cumnock near Orange is supposed to serve nearly all the Central West. I agree with the rest of what you've said. BigDan 11:26, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Francesca Willis

Is she really notable? I mean, sure, she went to Barker and got suspended, and she might look good, but I knew a few people at Barker who got suspended and I also knew some pretty attractive people there too. Does this really make one notable? - Ta bu shi da yu 07:53, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

I added her in because of the uproar she caused in the national (and international) press. That was the only criteria I had for putting her in. BigDan 10:42, August 19, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Male Wikipedians

Hi! I noticed you had placed yourself in Category:Male Wikipedians, and use babel boxes. Just so you know, I've just made the template {{User:MiraLuka/Userboxes/User male}}. Feel free to use it and/or edit it! — Asbestos | Talk (RFC) 19:00, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] CFD

Hello, Category:Wikipedians interested in wikipedians has been deleted per Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2005 December 17#Category:Wikipedians interested in wikipedians. YOu may want to remove it from your userpage. Thanks. Izehar 17:39, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] User:BigDan\Images

Hi, seeing as we are not allowed to use fair use images on userpages or user subpages (see Wikipedia:Fair use#Fair use policy (item #9)), I took the libery of turning this gallery page into a list of links instead. If you upload any free licensed images feel free to display those in a gallery, but not the fair use ones. Thanks.

P.S. You may want to consider moving that page to User:BigDan/Images (with a / instead of a \), that way it would act as a proper subpage. No huge deal though, the only difference is that a link back to your userpage will automaticaly be added to the top and you can link to it from your userpage with just [[/Images]] instead of the full name. --Sherool (talk) 00:59, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikimedia Canada

Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there!--DarkEvil 15:18, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Use of fair use images in templates

On April 11, you created a number of userboxes that make use of images that have fair use tags on them. Wikipedia policy as written at Wikipedia:Fair_use#Policy item #9 prohibits the use of fair use images in the manner you used them. I've removed the images from the templates. Please do not re-add them. If you'd like, you can add text or another image that does not have a licensing tag that prevents its use in the template. Thanks, --Durin 15:57, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userbox Public Transit

According to Wikipedia:The German solution, here’s a a tip for you: {{User:Olve/Userboxes/Public transport}} (in lieu of the blanked template:User Public Transit). -- Olve 22:41, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scone Railway Station

Hi - I see you've made some contributions to Scone related areas. I am after a photo of the station there for the railway station article and was wondering whether you would be able at any stage to take a photo of the station platform and building? Any help would be fantastic. Let me know. (JROBBO 04:19, 25 July 2006 (UTC))

I'll see what I can do. :D Big Dan 11:46, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Fantastic photos! - thank you very much. JROBBO 12:03, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject South Park

I have thought of creating a WikiProject for South Park since it is now near its' 10th anniversary and has more articles than ever. I feel we could all do the following things through this project:

  • Cleanup any short/poorly written/unformatted articles
  • Merge/lengthen the many character articles
  • Improve the South Park main page

I have seen your South Park fan template and wondered if you were interested in joining. If so reply to my talk page and I'll get back to you as quick as I can. Thanks, Mr. Garrison


[edit] Image:Sam Kekovich Poster.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sam Kekovich Poster.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a free image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nilfanion (talk) 23:19, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Footy Club-Oi big Dan

Hi, I am trying to introduce a club for rugby league supporters that will be more than just a wikiproject and help to encourage rugby league participation and article improvement. I have written down some of my thoughts about what wikileaguies should attempt to do and would be interested if you, like other rugby league supporters, would be willing to be involved on some level. [1], leave signage and thoughts on the talk page if you are interested. Cheers. --Rugby 666 08:16, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
