[edit] Post Office
Hi, I'm not sure why you have redirected Post Office to that specific post office? This should direct to the generic Post office article. - ҉ Randwicked ҉ 07:31, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
I take your point about why an name ought to point to one article, as in 'the post office you find in any neighbourhood'. However, to the best of my knowledge, no other Postal Service, or organisation of Post Offices in the world is known as 'The Post Office', except in the UK; although technically no longer used for postal service, many people still use the name and the brand name does still refer to Post Offices.
Maybe include a disambiguation?? I have created Post Office UK as a redirect. (RM21 21:59, 18 May 2006 (UTC))
[edit] Hey, you still about?
I was wondering if you have the original files you used to create the regional infobox... Ta bu shi da yu 14:23, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks mate :-) I hope you don't mind, but I uploaded it as Image:SydLGAs.png. What license can I put on it? Is GFDL OK? - Ta bu shi da yu 23:21, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] List of metro systems#Oceania
This list is accreting entries (recently Perth). I strongly doubt if there are any legitimate entries here, and I am inclined to delete the section. Susvolans (pigs can fly) 09:02, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] thanks!
thanks for removing that bit of trash about Sydney being far away from Linton. i actually created an account specifically to get rid of it, as it got on my nerves, but found someone (ie: you) had beaten me to it. nice one!
Y're welcome, Anon. Randwicked 11:53, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Australian metropolitan areas
Thanks for correcting the area definitions for Sydney and Melbourne in the List of metropolitan areas by population article. The numbers are from the UN World Urbanization Prospects 2003 report (projection for 2005). I have also added the land areas for the Sydney and Melbourne statistical divisions in the article.

[edit] Evolution discusion Reply
It is defining the process, not the theory of the process.
Yes the orginal phrase incorrectly implies that Evolution is Fact. No where in the article does it mention or imply that Evolution is a theory, as the whole POV in the Evolution article make it sound like Fact, which is incorrect. I was trying to righ this wrong, by simply showing in the first page that is indeed a theory, and should not be implied to be fact.
[edit] Gingerfield articles
Hi there,
I notice that you marked a number of Gingerfield articles as vandalism. I do not see how they qualify as vandalism at this time. Could you perhaps explain either in your edit summary or on the articles' talk pages? Stifle 11:42, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
- Never mind, I found out. :) Stifle 11:43, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

... thanks mate :-) The original is at http://www.perverted-justice.com/opinions/?article=11 which Perverted Justice have modified! I just got an email from the administrator of official wire, hopefully they will see where the error is!
Hey, where have you been? You missed the Wikipedia Sydney meetup! - Ta bu shi da yu 13:46, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, it was a few weekends ago. I was incredibly slack and didn't message anyone I knew... :( Keep an eye on the Wikipedia:Meetup page! Ta bu shi da yu 13:52, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
- Nice people, some are more eccentric than others :-) I had a blast! You've got to come to the next one! - Ta bu shi da yu 14:00, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Hey
Yeah, got myself an account. Look at my userpage for all my geeky contributions

[edit] Sydney trains: Inner West line
Trains on the inner west line do not run every 15 minnnutes outside peak hours.
The inner west line is the train line that runs from Central to Liverpool. Outside of peak hours, there are only shuttle services that serve the inner stations. From Lidcombe to Liverpool there are no trains between 9:30 am and 2:30 pm.
You're thinking of the "inner west" as opposed to the "inner west line"

[edit] Melbourne Ranked First!
Hi. Your thoughts on the great "ranked first" vs. "tied for first" debate on Talk:Melbourne would be much appreciated. I was glad to see your comments on User talk:Xtra, because I was starting to think "maybe it's just me, maybe they are the same thing...". Skeezix1000 03:50, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Date links
Since you have previously taken an interest in links. Please be kind enough to vote for my new bot application to reduce overlinking of dates where they are not part of date preferences. Thanks. bobblewik 20:49, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What
Why are you people dicking with my talk page? - Randwicked Alex B 06:25, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Seidler
Wasn't quite sure from the initial reports that he died today hence the missing date. Good riddance I say. The edit recording his passing was the most satisfying I have made to Wp. I can't wait till they bury him and I can go have a long piss. Albatross2147 02:43, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Yet another date links proposal
Sorry to disturb you again but there is another date link proposal. This time at: Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_(dates_and_numbers)#linking_of_dates. Please feel free to support or oppose it. Thanks. bobblewik 19:36, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Peak oil page
Why did you revert the part about the logistic curve and the hubbert curve? the logistic curve is obviously not the rate at which oil is extracted because that would imply that the amount of oil is infinite. And they say the rate of extraxtion is both a logistic curve and the hubbert curve - but those curves are different. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubbert_curve
- Your edits stated that the cumulative oil extraction resembled a bell curve. This is logically impossible. (P.S., you can sign your name with four tildes at the end of your message.) - Randwicked Alex B 15:29, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
-
- No it didn't. It said cumulative oil extracted followed a logistic curve. Rate of extraction is the derivative of that logistic curve, which is a bell shaped curve. Logistic curve is not bell shaped, the hubbert curve is. Logistic curve is not the hubbert curve.

[edit] Suburbs statistics
If I were to make a script to extract relevant statistics from the chunky ABS census data, what should it include? jnothman talk 09:40, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
- Okay. I'm in the middle of downloading 2024 excel spreadsheets. For some reason there's no suburb data for Qld or ACT...? But what there is, I might as well do the whole lot in one go. Let's list the sheets and the data we want to extract:
- B01 - Population, area, pop density. So is ATSI percentage.
- B03 - top (two?) age brackets
- B05 - is this where you wanted me to extract most common nationalities from? ancestry based on parent? I'm a little confused about how to understand these tables: just use the last column? When I calculate percentages, does it include "not stated"? Does "most common" mean top 5, or all those above a certain percentage?
- B06 - or did you want me to extract nationalities from here?
- B07 - or is this where I should take nationality from??
- B10 - get the top few religions- top by perccentage, or top 4? Count Christianity as one group or as individual sects, or both?
- B18 - dwelling structure? percentage totals?
- B22 - unemployment rate
- B23 - non-school qualifications? percentages?
- B33 - median weekly household income? median weekly individual income? mean household size?
- If you could let me know what you think of the need for each of these statistics, and in complex situations how they should be calculated, that would be fantastic. jnothman talk 00:29, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
