[edit] Ralph Hush

Hi, I forgot to include the fact that he was the first (or on eof the first, info isnt quite clear) convicts to be released from a life sentence after less than 5 years. Is this acceptable? And by the way, Family History does not interest me, I just wanted to put some convict stuff in. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Frogskin9 (talk • contribs).

Fair enough. It looked like a family history thing to me, given the amount of family information including links for articles about other family members. I'm all for more convict stuff. As far as the early pardon goes, I'm not sure that alone counts as notable but I'm happy to leave that to others to decide. Was he granted a conditional pardon in 1824 or a ticket of leave?

[edit] Canberra suburbs

Hi, I see your writing articles on Canberra suburbs, could you please tag them with {{canberra suburb stub}} so they are easy to keep track of. Also you might want to check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Canberra. --nixie 01:58, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Weston Creek Infoboxes

Hi, thanks for your work rolling out suburb infoboxes to Weston Creek suburbs. If you complete all the suburbs could you please mark Weston Creek as completed at the volunteer list. --Martyman-(talk) 23:51, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Hey, just noticed you already did that. Oh well, you are to quick for me. --Martyman-(talk) 01:32, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] MPs

Thanks for leaving a note on my "to do" page. And keep up the good work on disambiguation, something that's as much fun to say as it is to do! Ground Zero | t 19:28, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rollback feature

Hi, I was just wondering if you were using a rollback button and if it has been giving you trouble of recent. If you do use the rollback button, does the URL bar have something that says &fakeaction=rollback or does it say &action=rollback? --Jay (Reply) 21:45, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi there Jay. I haven't been using the rollback feature as I don't have admin status, sadly. I'm new to vandalism reversions and have only been doing them for the last couple of weeks. If you have any suggestions or advice about how to make the process easier I'd appreciate your comments. - Gimboid13 21:59, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks. I'll get back to you on some handy shortcuts after I've taken care of some business.--Jay (Reply) 22:06, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Hi there Kucing. Thanks for reverting vandalism on my userpage. My first vandal attack! I'm so proud. - Gimboid13 10:54, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Not a problem. And Happy New Year! --Kucing 21:36, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Edgar Davids

The revert you performed unfortunately rolled back to another version that had been vandalised - remember to check after the revert that that hasn't happened. If it does, perform a manual revert to the last clean version. Thanks. haz (user talk) 11:17, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Haza-w. Maybe its just me but I'm noticing more and more instances when there are 2 different IP addresses vandalising the same article in succession. I've been checking but obviously missed that one. It still needed a further edit to get it back to a clean version. Gimboid13 11:29, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] dude, calm down

Hey dude, Bitburg High School is not your school and you shouldn't try to control what people say about it. The reason people adding to articles like that is just for fun. If you had ever actually been to Bitburg High School, you would know that they were just kidding. So what if what is said is "trivial" or doesn't matter. There is good content in there and it isn't like tons of people are running around trying to find information about the teachers from BHS. Plus, what they said is true and doesn't really matter anyway. Just calm down and ignore whatever happens to the BHS site, or maybe you could go there yourself so you can make an "educated" decision on what to say about BHS.

Hi there and thanks for your comments. Information added to Wikipedia must be factual and verifiable. Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not is a good reference to what is and isn't OK. In addition there are guidelines about the level of notability required before a person should be the subject of an article (or reference in an article). See Wikipedia:Notability_(people). You're more than welcome to contribute to Wikipedia but please add only information that you'd reasonably expect to appear in an encyclopedia article.
One more thing, please sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) by using the '~' symbol. To insert just your IP address or name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your IP address or name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes). - Gimboid13 06:49, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Do you know who's vandalising the Toyota Aurion page?

^^^^^

Alphabeta777 09:31, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi Alphabeta777. Just some anonymous vandal (203.51.169.228). I left a warning on his talk page and he seems to have gone now. Vandalism attacks are not infrequent but most are reverted within a few minutes. If it happens again you can revert it yourself. See: Wikipedia:Revert. Keep up the good work. - Gimboid13 18:26, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thanks for your vote
My request for adminship passed with a final result of 78/2/0. Hopefully I will live up to everyone's expectations. Please ask if I can ever help out with anything in the future.

[edit] TUNE! FM

Hi. I have been thinking about starting Neville Fletcher (who is a visiting fellow here a the ANU) and noticed your aritcle on TUNE! FM mentions him. I think his work as a scientist is notable and he deserves an article. I didn't know about his part in helping establish Armidale's youth radio station, it's amazing how much info there is on this funny little website of ours ;) --Martyman-(talk) 22:59, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi Martyman. Neville Fletcher was Professor of Physics at UNE in the 1970s. I still have some copies of his correspondence with the licencing authority and others to establish the station. Happy to contribute a small section if you get an article up. Congratulations on your recent adminship. - Gimboid13 17:43, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bathurst

Thanks for the pic on the Barnet page - I haven't got there yet. It is a good picture. Will you be writing an article? I have created a general article at Court houses in New South Wales Regards--A Y Arktos\talk 02:08, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi A Y Arktos. I'll add it on the Court houses in New South Wales page. I took one of the Boorowa court house too, but I see you've beaten me to it! Have added one of the war memorial to the Boorowa article though. I hope to get pictures of the Inverell and Warialda court houses some time. I believe an ancestor of mine built both of those. - Gimboid13 04:22, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for reply re: revert of Aid and Rescue Committee

Thanks for explaining (and restoring :-) -- and especially that you replied both on my User Talk page and the article's discussion page.

I'm still in my first month editing here, and whenever someone's edited my changes I make an effort to understand the rationale and have yet to challenge any of it. This being the first revert of my editing, of course I paid special attention -- and enquired only because I really couldn't understand the point (but feared the worst :-o Cheers, Deborahjay 07:36, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

(Text of initial comment here:)

I just noted that you -- with no discussion or explanation -- reverted three edits I made to the Aid and Rescue Committee article.
  • int. link for Hashomer Hatzair
  • + {{Jewish-hist-stub}}
  • copyedit: Hansi Brand (Joel Brand's wife); for Hansi Brand, Joel Brand's wife;
(The copyedit was intended for disambiguation as anyone missing the comma/semicolon might misread this as two different people)
My understanding is that a revert is done to repair damage to an article. So what do you consider damaging in what I did? (crossposted to the article's Talk page) Deborahjay 06:15, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help

Hey. I just want to ask you to help me look out for my user page. There was a user that changed mostly a lot from my user page and like I'm gay when I'm not. The user was putting things I am not. please look out for me. thanks (SKITTLES 04:28, 11 June 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Help desk query

According to Help: A_quick_guide_to_templates multiple templates can be used on a page. Is there a way of stacking templates so they appear one under the other in all screen sizes? The article I'm working on is Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, which has Infobox_Australian_Town and Austlocalgovtarea templates. - Gimboid13 16:00, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Try moving the code for the lower template out and placing it beneath the top template's code. this seems to work sometimes. If you need anymore help, feel free to use my talk page. EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME | IMPROVEME 16:54, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm afraid not: I saw the template somewhere the other day with two nestled infoboxes, which is annoying, but can't see it now! EVOCATIVEINTRIGUE TALKTOME | EMAILME | IMPROVEME 18:07, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clarkstown High School North

Hi, sorry about that, I seem to be having problems with my rollback button. I'm working on it now. Thanks. Molerat 22:13, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm using User:VoA/monobook.js, which includes Lupin's filter. I'm now trying out a previous version of it, as I don't seem to remember this happening before. Molerat 22:27, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Australian International School Hong Kong

please do not delete useful information in the page "Australian International School Hong Kong", since users are trying hard to expand the article! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 218.103.136.233 (talk • contribs) .

Thanks for your contributions to the article Australian International School Hong Kong. I removed the paragraphs about term dates and class times because I considered them to be of interest only to people with a close association with the school. The sentence about the number of terms per year is really quite sufficient.
By the way, when posting to talk pages please sign and date your posts using four tildes (~~~~). Place comments that start a new topic at the bottom of the page and give them ==A descriptive header==. If you're new to Wikipedia, please see Welcome to Wikipedia and frequently asked questions. - Gimboid13 10:12, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
thanks, you are welcome
by the way i just learnt i need to open a new article in the talk page for talking
sorry —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 218.102.66.63 (talk • contribs).
No worries. I still think the term dates are unnecessary. As is the intranet link. Suggest discussing issues like this on the article's talk page though rather than continually reverting them. Gimboid13 03:48, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Hi saw your addition to courthouses - we were at Gundagai on Saturday, eg Image:Gundagai Literary Institute.jpg - your court house pic is better than mine :-)--Arktos talk 22:15, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

I was there on Sunday. Over the weekend I also bagged the courthouses at Culcairn and Holbrook which I'll add this morning. You've been busy! I like your Rusconi article. Keep up the good work! - Gimboid13 23:34, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Did you visit the marble masterpiece?--Arktos talk 23:46, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
No, just a quick stop over on the way through. Saw it a couple of years ago though. Rusconi must have had a lot of patience! - Gimboid13 00:41, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey, no problem. You're not the only one thats fallen victim to those dumb comments that I have reverted.

It's strange, Plebmonk seems to have some history of good edits, and all of a sudden today, he has made numerous comments like the one I reverted from your page... --Reaper X 02:07, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bathurst Courthouse

Hi Gimboid13,

I have uploaded a couple of new pics of the Bathurst Courthouse. Was wondering if you would mind if I replaced your image in the Bathurst article, as I think mine might be better since they're panoramic views of the full building. Could you also give a suggestion on which of mine you think is better?

Since yours is pretty good already, was just wanting to ask you first (I'm not sure that the article needs more than one pic of the courthouse, though we could make a gallery).

[edit] Yass article

Gimboid 13,

A gentle warning: Deleting work on a page without clear explanation is (according to me and several other Yass Wikipedians) Unquestionably uneeded.

Deleting the External Links on the Yass article must be looked in to and discussed with its creator (myself). Nathan Furry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.167.54.242 (talk • contribs).

Are you referring to this edit? If so, please refer to the edit summary. As I mentioned, Wikipedia is not a link repository. Please see the Wikipedia style manual entry for External links. Gimboid13 09:34, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
According to these rules, it would have to be determined by an admin whether or not the links are considered as link repositories. Some of these pages however did look into more of Yass History. In this case, It should be highly noted that deletion may not of been neccessary for some links.59.167.54.242 09:54, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
If you consider they meet the criteria in the style manual then, by all means, add them back in. Admin intervention is unnecessary. Anyone can add or delete content. That's how Wikipedia works. Of course there are some general rules, like the style manual, but as long as your work broadly adheres to those it stands a good chance of being retained. Gimboid13 10:06, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
