[edit] Who am I?
I'm a 26yr old from Joondalup, Western Australia, Australia with an interest in social media and journalism.
I'm only a small-time Wikipedia editor, helping out when I can on subjects I have a reasonable knowledge of. My specality is articles and information relating to my home state, and that's pretty much it.

[edit] Shopping centres
Hey you're going well! Sorry a bit slow with resurrecting some of the details of the more obscure arcades...SatuSuro 01:54, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

- People who are much better at explaining this are the template king User:Orderinchaos78 - or if he's not around - User:Moondyne, User:Gnangarra. User:Hesperian - they are worth meeting - all local, friendly eds (the last 3 are admins - always worth knowing for a lot of reasons) - hope that helps. SatuSuro 02:04, 13 December 2006 (UTC) BTW your signature is coming out black, not sure what you're up to there - are you using the 4 tildes ? SatuSuro 02:04, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- Yep, using the for tildes. thewinchester 09:26, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

- OIC appears to be on at the moment - and I've alerted him ...SatuSuro 02:17, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- Small world! Once long ago at the turn of the century, Thewinchester and myself worked together... Orderinchaos78 02:19, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- With comments like that OIC, i'll take a stab at suggesting that you're a former employee of the iiBorg Empire. thewinchester 09:26, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I see what you're saying - what I'd do is save a skeleton in your user area (eg User:Thewinchester/Shopping centre base - name at will) and then just copy the content into whatever new article you're writing. On Mozilla I've used the bookmarks toolbar folder to save a few things so I can grab them right away. If for whatever reason you want to get rid of anything in your user area after you're finished with it, whack a {{db-userreq}} on it and some admin will clear it out within a day or two.

- Cheers for that OIC, will look into doing that and see how I go. thewinchester 09:26, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- Try Dodgy & Sons (and nephews, and cousins, and various other nepotistic cronyish people) :) Orderinchaos78 09:29, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- That would be the one :) (although you do realise you just spoke its evil name!) Orderinchaos78 09:45, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- My userpage should make it blindingly obvious who I am. I'm amazed you haven't guessed yet :P Orderinchaos78 09:48, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
