[edit] ACOTF

You voted for Rum Rebellion. It has been selected as the new Australian Collaboration. Please help to improve the article. Thanks. Scott Davis Talk 12:30, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:203.217.8.30

They've started changing my password as well. How long have you been putting up with this?--Shanel 05:01, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I was first hit on 19 March, when they changed my password 20 times. Then again today with another 20 attempts. It appears that being blocked doesn't stop one from partaking in this kind of disruption. Cnwb 05:05, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] David Mitchell

I can see you have been working on articles such as Robbie Muir, Making Losers Happy, and Xpressway, which mention someone called David Mitchell. David Mitchell is a disambiguation page, and I have been trying to sort out the links to it. Can you tell me what would be a good distinguishing description? Should he be David Mitchell (musician) or can you be more specific? Thank you. CarolGray 19:26, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

David Mitchell (musician) would be perfect. Thanks. Cnwb 21:49, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Done. Thank you. CarolGray 18:33, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User page

I just wanted to say that I really like your user page. That's all. Isopropyl 05:41, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. To be fair though, I should admit that the design is stolen from User:Vague Rant. Cnwb 05:42, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 203.217.8.30

Can you please increase the block time of 203.217.8.30? It seems to come back almost as soon as the blocks expire. There are zero useful edits from the IP and it has attempted to get multiple users passwords. JoshuaZ 23:47, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

I have extended the block to 1 week. Has s/he been attempting to change your password too? Cnwb 23:52, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
No, I was referring to in the block log, he has attempted to do the same for Jossi and Shanel. JoshuaZ 23:55, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
Well, I apparently spoke too soon. He has apparently tried to change mine as well. (about 120 attempts or so). JoshuaZ 01:43, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No Smoking

I agree with your statements in the lounge/talk. I don't see how the admin general could be appointed at 15. Too young. I went ahead and removed the picture. -- Damien Vryce

[edit] Wikipedia_talk:Censorship

A watered-down version of the proposed policy against censorship is now open for voting. Will you kindly review the policy and make your opinions known? Thank you very much. Loom91 13:09, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:DavidTibet.jpg

I decided the source and tagging were good enough to keep. If you disagree, please nominate at IFD again and I will let some other admin make the call. -Nv8200p talk 13:56, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 203.217.8.30

Hi I just thought that you should be informed of something about this particular I.P address. It is the I.P of a school in Australia, Tasmania, Glenorchy. The school's name is Dominic College. On behalf of my fellow students, I wish to apologise for all vandalism caused by students mis-using this brilliant website. Thank you.

[edit] Camp Sovereignty

CNBW; have created this page as a stub and would appreciate any editorial input. Thanks. Lentisco 07:48, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] list of noise musicians!

Hi

Why do you remove the artists I add to the list of noise musicians? I'm curious to know. thanks, ~ Gudnason 11:06, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for your enquiry. I removed some of the artists from the List of noise musicians because many of them were (what wikipedia refers to as) non-notable. If you have a look at WP:MUSIC you can see what is generally considered the criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia. If you believe the artists you added (none of which, by the way, had their own articles yet) are notable enough, please create an article for each which explains how they are notable. The list of noise musicians has suffered a spate of non-notable additions lately, and myself and other editors have been making a concerted effort to keep an eye on this. Cnwb 11:59, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gnarloo

Why did you delete Gnarloo? It is commonly mistaken for Gnaraloo and a redirect is appropriate. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Vooose (talk • contribs).

I have changed the page to a proper redirect. Cnwb 11:36, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Portal:Australia/Anniversaries

Hi Cnwb. I have started a proposal at Portal talk:Australia for an inclusion of an anniversary/on this day section to be displayed on the portal. If you are interested in this making this happen, you can comment there or go to the anniversary pages and adding in things that you consider to be notable events. Regards, Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 05:49, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Linkfilter

I admit the site isn't very large, so it's relatively negligable. Note that I'm not at all affiliated with the site so it wasn't personal advertising. As for whether or not it should be deleted, that's your call. I just read somewhere that people noticed it as a precursor to Digg, and the style and content seem to suggest so.

Mwastrod 17:50, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Actually, it's everyone's call. The way 'prod' tags work is this - a user can tag an article which they believe should be deleted, if they believe most Wikipedians would agree (see Wikipedia:Proposed deletion for further explanation). If someone believes that it shouldn't be deleted (such as yourself), then the article can be sent to 'AFD' (Articles for Deletion), where users debate whether articles stay or not. If you believe the article should stay, you are quite entitled to remove the prod tag, although it's usually likely that someone will send the article to AFD for a wider debate. Hope this helps. Cnwb 23:55, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] lol =)

you have quite a lot of self-esteem (evidence is in ypur user page). lol. no offense though. nice user page, btw. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.109.222.166 (talk • contribs).

Umm. Thanks. I think. Cnwb 04:29, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vaginafaceitis

Cnwb, I listed your speedy deletion of Vaginafaceitis on DRV. I know it was a dumb article and hoax, but unfortunately we don't have a speedy deletion criterion for that. G1 is only for "incoherent" articles, which (again, unfortunately) Vaginafaceitis is not. =( I thought I should let you know so you can weigh in on the DRV discussion. Thanks! Powers 00:38, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just Hi

The article 'Camperdown' which you started had degenerated into nonsense so I did a total rewrite. Thanks for your help on other things.Geoffrey Wickham 06:22, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Taint (band)

I was about to prod this article for not living up to the usual notability guidelines for band inclusion, until I saw it was you that started the stub. Therefore, I have refrained from doing so due to your esteemed reputation on the 'pedia. However, when you get a chance, can you expand the article a bit. They sound kind of cool and I'd like to know more. Cheers. youngamerican (talk) 02:19, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Buttlejorrk, Victoria

Very interesting article. May I ask where you found info? Did William Drake name it? I had no idea that a settlement existed. As Kororoit Ck is my one of my fav Melbourne secrets would love to know. Cheers. Lentisco 05:32, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article 'Telectronics'

Yes, the Discussion page is a "mess". The party declines to register, dos not sign his posts and continually changes his IP address. Under these circumstances could Arbitration achieve anything ? A 'without predjudice' opinion would be appreciated. Apologies, I forgot to log on first. Geoffrey Wickham --139.168.53.159 23:50, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Try loggin in and then leaving a message. There is no proof that you are in fact Geoffrey Wickham. That Telectronics article is such a hornet-nest, I wouldn't be surprised if people are forging signatures. Cnwb 23:55, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks & confirming --Geoffrey Wickham 02:31, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article 'Telectronics'

Hi Cnwb. The message in the first posting above is as intended. " The party declines to register, does not sign his posts and continually changes his IP address. Under these circumstances could Arbitration achieve anything ? A 'without prejudice opinion' would be appreciated." ( have just finished an initial article Bernard Lown, wish to be a useful contributor but please accept that at age 72 my learning curve re Wikipedia procedures is a bit slow). --Geoffrey Wickham 06:36, 17 July 2006 (UTC).

==Thank you==
Thanks Cnwb; have studied 'requests for arbitration' and come to a tentative conclusion that it is probably an unproductive course. Seems there are only two alternatives for me: Keep on reverting the changes & hope other Wikipedians do the same, or to give up trying to ensure that a little bit of Australian technological history is not perverted. All the best--Geoffrey Wickham 07:07, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Note to self

Note to self - a Lyotard quote for the userpage - "no self is an island; each exists in a fabric of relations now more complex and mobile than ever before... one is always located at a post through which various kinds of messages pass" Cnwb 06:21, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] William DARKE

I still am almost positive that the surveyor mentioned in Buttlejork page was Darke NOT Drake. See http://www.docklands.com/docklands/about/history/heritage.shtml. Otherwise please disabuse me.Lentisco 03:27, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Rail Lines in Melbourne

I would love to see some old plans or read any more information you have on the proposed rail lines in melbourne, particularly the east doncaster line. there was one or a few editions of the melways that showed the rail line to east doncaster during the 80's or very late 70's but I can't track down which one it is.

Also, if you have any information on freeways, or the freeway plans for melbourne that were drawn up at any time I'd like to see it.

Thanks Nick carson 05:37, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] mudvayne fan!

they have hit me too with my password cnaged 100 times what can we do to stop them? well it got me thinking did you block them or what happened even though they did this to me how can i stop them??? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mudvayne fan (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Telectronics

Perhaps I should have headed that Telecbloodytronics. I want to have closure on all this nonsense. In my last posting (bottom) on Discussion I asked for help. Can you help either directly of by referring me to another Administrator ? regards Geoffrey Wickham 02:52, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Regarding your request for help with the Telectronics article. To take on a matter as complex and cumbersome as the Telectronics edit war is beyond my means and abilities. You might want to have a look at Wikipedia:Resolving disputes, which points to numerous avenues for resolving disputes. Hope this helps. Cnwb 00:28, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Comfy Chair

Oops. I have only been a Brunswickian for about two years. Well, I was correct, it's not in Brunswick at least. ;) I just associated Lygon St with all things Carlton.

So is there an official demarcation between Brunswick and Brunswick West? The railway line? I suspect I live in Brunswick West, although I'm closer to Sydney Road than Lygon is...

cheers, pfctdayelise (translate?) 07:08, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi all, as a local East Brunswickian, comfy chair regular, and devotee of all things geographic, I can tell you that the suburb boundary between Brunswick and Brunswick East is actually the back fences of the properties on the western side of Lygon Street, rather than the middle of the street. That is - any property that has a Lygon Street address is in Brunswick East. Hope this helps. Mustard Pot 00:45, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CHOF

Many thanks for pointing to Wire issue. I have this theory that Melbourne is just as intellectually stimulating as anywhere else and produces many inspired autodidacts- its just that we are are burdened by dull, moribund, pandering, anti-intellectuals members of the rich and their arse-licking politicians. The problem with the Australian ruling class is that they have no class. End of rant. Lentisco 04:59, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Very dissapointing to see such a narrow point of view on the ruling classes of Australia. This topic clearly warrants its own article - RS —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rexy steel (talk • contribs).

[edit] intro page

has your intro page been hacked or have you really copied someone elses blog? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.254.189.90 (talk • contribs).

Well, that's a strange question. No, it hasn't been hacked, and apart from the design being based on User:Vague Rant's page, it's all my own work. Why do you ask? Cnwb 23:05, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User talk:202.83.114.78

Hey, there. I saw this user's unblock request, and while I'd like to assume good faith, they don't seem to have much of a contributions history for a supposedly shared IP. Wondering if you had any thoughts? Luna Santin 02:37, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Got it. I've declined their request. Thanks. :) Luna Santin 03:51, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Coopernook, New South Wales

Fair Enough. I was assuming good faith ( on his part ) as he was the article creator and has requested it to go. I'm just wish he'd find another hobby tonight - Peripitus (Talk) 13:17, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

well, I'm concerned about wikipedia. I've watched several articles that I've written over the last year or so be changed to be inaccurate. It's a pity because we need a good information repository. I think that the editing of my most recent article removes some history on a random basis. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Andrewcalvin (talk • contribs).

Andrew, the information I removed was not done on a "random basis". I brought the issue up on the article's talk page, and invited discussion about it. Your response was simply "i think you're a knob" [1]. Now it seems you'd rather delete the whole article than allow others to edit it. I have copied this comment onto Talk:Coopernook, New South Wales, as it's more relevant to take place there. Cnwb 23:03, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi all, My intention certainly wasn't advertising, and Bloggapedia is free resource for bloggers. If there is anything I can do to fix this article, can please make some suggestions? Thanks, -H —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hamidof (talk • contribs).

Hi, Regarding the message you left for me about 'Bloggapedia' - I don't recall this article. What was the issue with it? Did it get deleted? Cnwb 22:16, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes, it did! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hamidof (talk • contribs).
A useful page for you to look at is Wikipedia:Notability (web). This page outlines the kinds of articles about websites that Wikipedia is looking ofr. Hope this helps. Cnwb 02:44, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Volcanic Tongue

Hi there. The article on Volcanic Tongue could really use your help. Thanks! Leo44 (talk) 12:37, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Central Hall

Hi Cnwb,
Yeah, my article did indeed come about as a result of celebrating the centenary year. I spent the last semester of my undergrad doing a 'special' unit dedicated to writing a 6,000 word essay on Central Hall. Parts of the article were used by ACU for an event at the hall in 2004, but it was never published in booklet form as originally planned. I've been in contact with people at ACU just last week, and it seems likely that it will be submitted to an Australian Catholic journal next year. Rob Lindsey 02:44, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Melbourne meetup in planning

Hello, you've indicated that you're interested in future Meetups in Melbourne on this list, so I'm giving you this message to remind you that Melbounre meetup number four is currently in planning. If you haven't already, please go to Wikipedia:Meetup/Melbourne to suggest possible dates, times and locations. Thanks --Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 02:44, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Central Hall (again)

I suppose it is possible, I have been in and out of the uni for five years. I've mainly dealt with the Education faculty (finished a Dip. Ed. last week) and the School of Arts and Sciences (being a History major). Rob Lindsey 08:37, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Holden Street, Fitzroy North, Melbourne

G'day Cnwb,

I would be grateful for your assistance. The article on this street has been nominated at afd. I noticed that you had taken pictures in the Fitzroy area and was wondering if this street had any claim to fame. The article doesn't list any and I haven't been able to find anything that established a claim to notability.

Capitalistroadster 02:11, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Melbourne meetup

Greetings, person who is listed as being interested in future meetups in Melbourne. The fourth meetup will be held on 18 December, at Lower House in Fed Square (in the Alfred Deaking building, Flinders Street end near the Atrium: map), starting from 7pm. We don't currently have a separate location for discussion beforehand, but there'll be plenty of time to talk wiki over dinner. --bainer (talk) 14:53, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Madita

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Madita, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Madita. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. Fram 14:08, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Luxsound has also been proposed for deletion. NickelShoe (Talk) 00:56, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Someone trying to hijack WikiProject Gender Studies...

An anonymous user has edited Wikipedia:WikiProject_Gender_Studies and has edited its aims so that it reads (the following quote is taken from the talk page):

* Correct articles where the term 'gender' is overused, used incorrectly, or used pejoratively to pander to (what Christina Hoff-Sommers, Wendy McElroy and other more moderate feminists call) a "gender-feminist" POV.

  • Correct articles where the term "gender" is used (without reference to NPOV dictionaries and other NPOV sources) to replace the term 'sex' as a ploy to pander to "gender"-feminist POV. Correct the usages so that the proper definition is used without regard to UNTESTED and often invalid 'gender theories', so distinctions can be made between 'gender' and 'sex', and so that the usage reflects some sort of NPOV take on a highly loaded term. Just because some widely criticized academic fields have used totalitarian tactics to force 'gender' and censor the usage of 'sex', in US humanities programs is no indication of the validity of this politically-loaded term. Consult NPOV sources such as dictionaries, opponents of "gender"-feminists and NPOV mass media sources to balance 'gender' POV with 'sex' POV.
  • Correct articles where the term 'gender' is being used gynocentrically as a front for 'oppression'-feminist political, legal or cultural power plays. For example, in feminism (Status) there is no mention that for the male 'gender', military mortality is 98% compared to 2% for the female 'gender' (in Iraq)...but other forms of far less serious female "gender" oppression are implicated (covertly and most disengenously) as having something to do with the gender "oppression" of women. This kind of blatant, gynocentric "gender" bias is no less POV than the other forms listed here.

Said user has further edited the talk page suggesting that (the following quote is taken from the talk page):

I suspect this project was created to pander to the points of view of misandric, gender-ginning, 'patriarchal oppression' feminists (please see Women's studies, misandry and feminism ) who use the term 'gender' as a cunning, covert, and blatantly gynocentric weapon of war. Many other more moderate feminists and non-feminists have challenged these blatantly gynocentric, and often misandric "gender feminist" ideologies. I insist on a non-sexist, non-'genderist', non-reverse sexist project...otherwise this project is just the usual type of cunning totalitarian tactic we see so much in other politically correct channels. To revert the above content just because none of the orginal authors of this project page like it is a POV stunt to have ones cake and eat it too. I am going to reinsert the content. I insist that before it is reverted again good NPOV reasons be provided. My aim here is some kind of GENUINE non-sexist, non-reverse sexist, and non-'genderist' NPOV...as may be shown well in Sexism (drop in editor) 00:37, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

The idea that the term gender (that is, the idea that at least some of the differences between the roles of men and women in society) is socially constructed, yet 'sex' (i.e. that any differences between men and women are essentially biological), at the very least, looks like misogyny|misoginist]] POV bias of the worst kind. Any assistance arguing against the point would be greatly appreciated.

[edit] Fifth Melbourne meetup

The fifth meetup of Melbourne Wikipedians is being planned as a breakfast meeting in the city with Jimbo Wales (at a venue to be arranged) on Friday, 27 April 2007.

Jimbo has proposed breakfast as the one real window of opportunity during his tightly scheduled stay in Melbourne. Tbe precise time has to be sorted out with Jimbo, but the arrangements for the equivalent Adelaide meetup a few days before may give a good idea.

Feel free to edit the relevant page in any way that might be helpful. I feel like a bit of an interloper, not having attended previous meetups. If there's anything you can do to help, I'll be grateful. Please think about whether you'll be able to make it, assuming the arrangements are similar to those Adelaide is adopting (i.e. a block of time with people being fairly free to arrive when it suits them). Some indication on the page of your possible participation would be really helpful. Metamagician3000 06:14, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
