[edit] Jewish Memorial - KP

I didn't have enough info to be happy to add a section, also it was a very good subject for a picture but unfortunately it was vandalised about 3 months ago along with 4 other memorials and they are yet to return the damaged column. Gnangarra 23:07, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lawrence et al

I don't know that there's much I could say, apart from a welcome - it's nice to see some of the WA politics articles getting a bit of attention.

As for the Easton affair, you might want to be a little bit less confrontational in your approach - Snottygobble, for one, is a brilliant editor, and doesn't even have any right-wing sympathies that I know of. I'd also be wary about removing too much information on the Easton affair - while it was a complete and utter beat-up, it did effectively end her career, and deserves some attention as such.

Snottygobble is by far the worst Australian editor I have viewed working. Do not expect much from him other than to ignore you and than call you a troll, and than block you indefinitely. It would not surprise me if Rebecca was his puppet either as they seem to work well together. 02:41, 12 October 2006 (UTC)Loveingsydney

Fred, User:Loveingsydney is a sockpuppet of indefinitely banned troll/vandal User:Licinius (aka User:NSWelshman) who regularly attacks Snottygobble. Ignore his comments. -- I@n 05:23, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] George Temple-Poole

I've never been 100% certain about his surname being "Temple-Poole" or "Poole" (ie. Poole, George Thomas Temple). The ADB says the latter [1], but I've seen more than a few instances of it being hyphenated. Any ideas? -- I@n 07:29, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

I've left a note on I@n's talk page re this one SatuSuro 10:27, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

I have started a user sub-page for a draft article "George Temple-Poole". Here 'tis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Fred.e/George_Temple_Poole

[edit] Trains and Trams

Then yesterday on abcfm 10 am interview was a rail/tram expert which i only got snatches but a good analysis of trams and their fate in australia.

Timetables - one good source is ARHS (this weekend literally - sunday at arhs basso - there's a swap which will probably have timetables maybe?) they have sets of 'monthly notices' which include things in that as well. SatuSuro 01:35, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

found some transcripts from ABC RN, guessing that is them. Looks interesting. Fred.e

Nah - ABCFM the 10 am interview is diff from RN - will have to track it down later- SatuSuro 03:47, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reply RE Alan Moore

Thanks for taking the time to drop me a message about my edit to the Alan Moore page, it's good to bump into friendly Wikipedians! And by the way, I think you may have a point about him deliberatly using the word 'pornography' - I saw him in conversation with Stewart Lee a few nights ago and he admitted that one of his reasons for using that word was simply so he beat the critics and naysayers to it. Well, that and the fact that it *is* clearly pornography (at least judging from the few panels I have glimpsed!) I suppose :) Curiousbadger 22:23, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

i highly recommend this site [2] for Stewart Lee stuff, particularly as there is an Alan Moore radio interview available to download. Not the Lost Girls one, sadly, but that's the place to keep an eye out for it I reckon. Curiousbadger 12:16, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome back

No worries about the trams I thought that was probably what you wanted, Welcome back the the real world BTW Gnangarra 23:05, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] George Temple-Poole

Good work Fred. By convention here, we would name the article as above, not "Temple-Poole, George". I see from your research that his mothers maiden name was Poole which helps explain a few things. I agree with useage of the hyphen to clear abiguity. A section within the article explaining the name change would be a good thing I reckon. Give me a note when you copy it into the article space. Regards — Moondyne 01:29, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Looking like an interesting article. I fixed some links dab Swan River colony, C.Y O'Connor (wonder why he has a "."), John Septimus Roe. If you can provide a link to the cartoon I'll check the copyright status. Gnangarra 01:46, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Re name sorting and lists: Manually created lists obviously can be in any order, but when we add a person to a Wikipedia category, there's a little trick called "category sorting": at the bottom of the article you'd add [[category:Australian architects|Temple-Poole, George]]. This would cause him to appear in surname order in the category list but display as per his article name. Have a look at say Talbot Hobbs to see what I mean. — Moondyne 00:59, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry I couldnt give it my attention - about to dissapear - hey keep the good work up! SatuSuro 00:00, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Current state of the article - its looking great! well done! SatuSuro 23:06, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Top job! This is worthy of going to the Wikipedia front page at WP:DYK. All it needs is a tagline, such as: "... that George Temple-Poole was an noted colonial architect who designed many public buildings in Perth, Western Australia as well as the layout for Kings Park?". Wodya think? — Moondyne 02:38, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I would second that, and the advice is coming from our own local DYK champ! SatuSuro 02:50, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

On December 9, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article George Temple-Poole, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

...speaking of which here it is Fred. Keep it up! We'll have a strong WA contingent with you and Moondyne firing on all cylinders! Happy editing, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 07:08, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Good work again Fred. Its important that we keep those Croweaters honest, so every bit helps. —Moondyne 14:18, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
