    [edit] BAB & AFD

    It is a fun article, Back-Arc Basins. Most Expansionists don't deny the compression activity at the subduction zones but it's a long way to go from compression zone to subduction, because of holding to a pre-conceived notion that the Earth has always been the same size. It would be nice to begin seeing a percentage value to theories. Even 75% subduction, 20% expansion and 5% other, would be better than the present state. Though our evidence base is more likely on the side of an opposite proportion, such a system would be more true to the stated creed of science. You're never in my way, btw. We're both heading in the same direction, I'm sure. Your comments were excellent and covered points others were also likely considering. Everyone's input made the discussion worthy, detractors and supporters alike. Thanks much. MichaelNetzer 11:56, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

    [edit] Re: Award and awarding

    It was always going to get there, but I was confused by dis!?. Fred 11:27, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
    Sorry mate, don't know what's you're saying. Oh, wait, maybe I do. There's a massive backlog at TFA. B. integrifolia was promoted to FA back in November last year. We put it on the TFA requests list almost immediately, and it only just hit the main page yesterday. The fact that B. epica was promoted the day before B integrifolia hit the main page was sheer coincidence.
    Probably some time this week Gnangarra and/or I will submit a TFA request for B. epica, but the request list is currently 101 articles long, plus TFA is already scheduled up to March 4, so if we submitted it now, it wouldn't get a run on the main page for at least 105 days; longer if Raul decides he is sick of running so many Banksia articles.

    [edit] Aborigine

    Hi Fred. Fair question.

    First, I agree that it was widely used in the pre-2000 literature. I don't think you'll find it used in any culturally-sensitive work after around them, when it began to acquire this offensive connotation. I've been reprimanded a couple of times by knowledgable people like Land Councils when I've inadvertently used it myself, which is why I'm now rather sensitive to it.

    We did actually have a discussion on this about a year ago, after which the word "aborigine" was expunged, but I see it's crept back in, so I was just doing a tidy-up, not making a political statement!

    Can I give an authoritative refernce which defines what is OK and what is not OK? Well, how about the UNSW guide which says "Some indigenous people of Australia object to being labelled "Aborigines" - a term imposed on them by the first British colonisers, which also refers to any indigenous people in the world." RayNorris 11:10, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

    • I'm glad you like the picture!
    • Yes, even if we somtimes disagree, I think we're both trying to do the right thing, which makes life a lot easier! I might ask AIATSIS if they could spell out what's OK and what's not OK on their FAQ page - I think it might be helpful to a lot of people. I think they used to have a guide but it seems to have disappeared. Maybe for political reasons.RayNorris 11:42, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

    [edit] The advice was invaluable

    You pointed in just the right direction. Hardly a better way to understand how the complex works. I've dressed up my page and am enjoying the research for a new article on a subject I've known little about. I'm thinking of what's needed to reference the EE page and have started compiling sources - coming soon. Addictive is appropriate, especially on a Friday. Thanks again.

    [edit] Western Australia project

    Fred, thanks for taking the trouble to leave a message on my talk page. Apologies for the delay in replying; I've been away for more than a month.

    I'm flattered by your invitation and would like to help, but I have to say that I've increasingly made it a policy not to get too embroiled in contributing to articles on subjects I've already researched and written in detail about. My reason being that I find it irksome and indeed soul-destroying to go to the effort of writing something based on extensive input of time and trouble when the 'reward' is to have to spend, potentially, the rest of my life monotoring said articles and policing changes made by users who really don't know anything about the subject. I've had a few run-ins with self-appointed experts on various pages since joining Wikipedia (Talk:Thuggee:Second Photo is a good example), and I find them very dispiriting. The site's resolute unwillingness to make any distinctions between edits by specialists and those made by people with no knowledge of a subject whatsoever is often commented on, and is, in my opinion, one of the principal problems facing Wikipedia as it moves forward. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but life really is too short to spend it in spats with fellow Wikipedians. Good luck in your drive to improve the quality of WA material on the site, though.

    It is on the occasion of the time of the evening to let you know that unfortunately the usage of NA in a header in a talk page means that it is not an assessable article in a project - but if it is a list it is a list and is not eligble to have the NA because although it is not an article it donst deserve to get a NA because only category talk pages are ever allowed to have a class NA in them and if it is a list, then it cannot be a non article even if it is not an article, phew... savvy?

    [edit] G

    Good, the problem is lists and articles can be assesseable - although there are indeed increasingly considerable pressures against lists -viz ie WP is not a list, and the current OZ people push to encourage editors to utilise categories for bunching arts rather than making lists - it is possible to get a list as featured list - we got one recently in the Indonesian project - however who let the cats out', um - the categories gotta be populated by 20 blue links minimum to avoid the cat police, and lists with big amounts of red links are like bulls to the toreador...

    "these people weren't notable for being masons so they shouldn't be categorised for it" - I've been seeing this fallacious argument a lot lately.

      • Section of the guideline? All of it, it's not that long :) I'm unaware of many categories about freemasonry existing. At any rate I closed that debate, I didn't start it. Whomever started it is quite free to start other debates. >Radiant< 13:06, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

    • It's also not "freemasons aren't notable" (indeed, we haven't deleted any articles on them recently, to my best knowledge).

    [edit] Botanic art

    Me too. I already uploaded the Sydney Parkinson ones.

    Uploading them to Commons can only be a good thing. We've got a fully fledged category structure going over there. As you can see, Commons:Category:Banksia marginata is rather light on for images. If you can be bothered, Commons will take any and every PD or suitably licenced image that you can find.

    Whether a particular image can and should be used in a particular encyclopaedia article would have to be decided on a case-by-case basis. Use your own judgement. Hesperian 23:23, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

    [edit] draughty

    I have been doing a bit on biota and was wondering if you had some thoughts on, or examples of, articles for communities such as "Organic mound (tumulus) springs of the Swan Coastal Plain". It is a "threatened" community according to the reference I was using for Rottnest bee. When you have nothing to do, ta. - Fred 14:11, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

    Threatened ecological communities rock! I would already be working on them if there were six of me.
    Some of the TECs have already been written up by CALM, e.g. Camerons Cave Troglobitic Community. But most have not.
    The only TEC-related content I've written for Wikipedia can be seen at Lake Bryde-East Lake Bryde. Note the annoyingly long red-link. I don't know how to handle this. Most TEC's don't have a name, so are widely known and referred to by their official descriptions. But we can't very well use the description as the article title when the description is "[[Herblands and Bunch Grasslands on gypsum lunette dune community is located on grey sandy-clay on the top of a lake-edge dune and includes the herbaceous species Danthonia caespitosa, Lawrencia squamata, Maireana marginata, Podolepis rugosa, Senecio lautus subsp. meritimus, Asteridea chaetopoda, Atriplex paludosa, Halosarcia syncarpa, Scaevola spinescens and Stipa juncifolia]]".
    (Well that settles that then - the above is correctly linked, but Wikipedia refuses to render it as a link. I guess it exceeds some link length limit.)
    I suppose we can very slightly breach OR by coining our own shortened version for a title, e.g. Herblands and bunch grasslands on gypsum lunette dune community.
    In summary: go for it!
    Hesperian 01:47, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

    There's a list of threatened ecological communities under the EPBC Act 1999 here. But we also have TECs at a state level too, see here. There is no legislative framework for the WA TECs, as WA is still under the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950. This was a brilliant piece of legislation for its time, but not so brilliant as to anticipate the need for protection of ecological communities.

    If you look down the right sidebar of the latter website, you'll see a PDF list of WA TECs (which is badly out of date). This list includes a "community identifier" and a "community name". In some cases, the community identifier seems like the most appropriate title e.g. Koolanooka System is a much better title than [[Plant assemblages of the Koolanooka System (Beard 1976): Allocasuarina campestris scrub over red loam on hill slopes; Shrubs and emergent mallees on shallow loam red over massive ironstone on steep rocky slopes; Eucalyptus ebbanoensis subsp. ebbanoensis mallee and Acacia sp. scrub with scattered Allocasuarina huegeliana over red loam and ironstone on the upper slopes and summits; Eucalyptus loxophleba woodland over scrub on the footslopes; and mixed Acacia sp. scrub on granite]]. But in other cases, the community name is obviously more appropriate: e.g. Sedgelands in Holocene dune swales of the southern Swan Coastal Plain is a much better title than SCP19.

    Clearly we need articles for threatened ecological community, List of threatened ecological communities of Australia (with EPBC Act scope), and List of threatened ecological communities of Western Australia (with DEC scope).

    Regarding placement in bio-regions, the DEC's biodiversity audit [1] is based on the 53 IBRA subregions. For each subregion there is a summary available in PDF. One of the things the summary covers is any special landscape or ecosystem values for the subregion. If a subregion contains any threatened ecological communities, then the corresponding summary document will list and discuss them.

    Hesperian 04:21, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

    Good on ya. Probably need a Category:Threatened ecological communities of Australia, but perhaps not until you have a few articles to populate it. If you ever want any of your redirects deleted, e.g. User:Fred.e/Eucalyptus macrandra, or any other user space cleanup, just say the word. Hesperian 05:24, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

    [edit] Editing

    If you remove or add text, do not mark an edit as minor. Also, I'm not sure why you removed Grye's comments off the talk page, but there was no reason to do so. Talk pages are precisely for talking about citations and other article-relevant items. MSJapan 14:51, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

    I see what you did, which was to refactor Grye's refactor (which was still a removal from one section to another), and I'm not sure why (because Grye moved it and gave reasoning for it), but it's still not appropriate to mark it as "minor". There are particular guidelines on what is minor and what is not at Help:Minor edit, and that is my main concern here. MSJapan 04:32, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
    Fred, I looked at the diff, and it's very much on the talk page - right here. I have no idea what else you expect me to say about this that I haven't already said. MSJapan 13:55, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

    [edit] thank you kindly.

    I noticed that you edited someone else's comment for clarity, spelling or grammar. As a rule, please refrain from editing others' comments without their permission. Though it may appear helpful to correct typing errors, grammar, etc., please do not go out of your way to bring talk pages to publishing standards, since it is not terribly productive and will tend to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting.

    If your reference is newer or more reliable than mine (which is essentially a volume of Peter Schouten's palaeontological reconstructive artworks) then feel free to overrule it. Hesperian 00:35, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
