WikiProject AFL Hi mate, if you're a fan of Aussie rules, I suggest you take a look at WikiProject AFL (join by adding your name to the list of participants) and the Australian rules football portal. Also take a look at Category:VFL/AFL players and feel free to drop me a line with any questions, or on the WP:AFL discussion page. Cheers!

[edit] License tagging for Image:Murray football league logo new.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Murray football league logo new.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 11:06, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re town infoboxes

Good work with the new town pages! Just thought I'd better inform you - the Infobox Australian Town template is all but deprecated. Work on an all-encompassing {{Infobox Australian Place}} is well under way (see its talk page) but in order to get best results with the new template I suggest you use Infobox Town AU for now, as it'll probably be the one that changes least in the migration over to the new template. Formalities aside - pleased to see good contributors wherever they may be - keep up the good work! Orderinchaos78 (t|c) 19:21, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

IAP as above is now active.

[edit] Aussie towns

Hey, just noticed that you had not put your name in the list of particpants at Wikipedia:WikiProject Australian places. While it probably doesn't mean much in practice to put your name on, it doesn't hurt to add yours, and it shows the size of the group actively going at it. Just thought I would throw out an invite.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Murray Football league logo.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Murray Football league logo.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Edward 17:20, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NSW Town info boxes: max & min temperatures

I just thought I should let you know that I've corrected the maximum and minimum temperatures in two of the info boxes you've added to Hay and Balranald. I'm not sure where your information is coming from but I've got the details from the Bureau of Meteorology web-site. For example the following link - Bureau of Meteorology: Balranald - gives the Balranald statistics. You've been getting the rainfall right, but for some reason the max & min temperatures you have added are way off. Ikeshut 23:52, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments. I can now see where the confusion has arisen. I have no objection to you posting our discussion to the group. Can I just give my opinion in more detail about all this. To me the mean daily maximum & minimum temperatures will perhaps give someone a rough idea what a spring or autumn day is like in these towns, but will give no idea of the variability of a particular place. On the other hand my use of the highest & lowest recorded temperatures gives the extremities of the temperature range, which actually over-emphasises the variability. I think, to strike a middle road, what we should be aiming at is the typical highest and typical lowest temperatures for the whole year - i.e., the mean temperature of the hottest month and the mean temperature of the coldest month. For Balranald for example the hottest ever recorded was 47.7, the mean for the whole year is 24.1, and the mean temperature for the month with the hottest mean (January) is 32.9. The minimum temeratures are -4.8, 9.8 and 3.5 (July). To me the mean temperature of the hottest month and the mean temperature of the coldest month seems more meaningful under a category that just says "Max" and "Min".

Second that for the Queensland repointing you are doing. This has been on my to do list for a while, and is great to see it getting done. Cheers. SauliH 00:06, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
