[edit] please follow standard naming convention

Please follow standard naming conventions for articles. You moved Taringa railway station, Brisbane to Taringa Railway Station, Brisbane. The standard naming convention is to only capitalise proper nouns, see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization). All the other articles on railway stations in Australia are lowercase, i.e. <Name> railway station, <state>. Thanks. clarkk 04:23, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

Following on from the point above, if you do create an improper redirect (as with Toowong Taringa Railway Station, Brisbane), instead of just blanking the page, remember to tag it for speedy deletion, by using the {{delete}} template. Cheers. Slac speak up! 04:36, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ipswich

There was a WP:RM request to move Ipswich, Suffolk → Ipswich to move it without a discussion and a new vote is very naughty of you. That you made the move using "cut and past" and not moveing the page with its history is even worse.

Please read WP:RM to see how it should be done. At the moment even your request on WP:RM does not inclue a link to the talk page and you have not put the template or Request moves section onto the talk page. -- Philip Baird Shearer 14:27, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Broken Signature

Your signature is broken. Instead of using the User:Mathieumcguire it is using the page Article Page Mathieumcguire Philip Baird Shearer 15:02, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Brisbane City Council

Hi, I noticed that you added an "attention" tag to the Brisbane City Council article, which you created and I've expanded recently. What suggestions do you have about how it can be improved? Just curious as to why you feel it needs attention. Regards, --Humehwy 09:14, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:GatewayBridgeFromTheAir.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:GatewayBridgeFromTheAir.JPG. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag, so its copyright status is therefore unclear. Please add a tag to let us know its copyright status. (If you created/took the picture then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairuse}}.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know on the image description page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Otherwise, see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. Thanks so much. Vacuum c 01:45, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Sydney Airport (2004) By Air.jpg

Hi, I noticed you uploaded Image:Sydney Airport (2004) By Air.jpg and tagged it "fairuse". Where did you source the photo from? Thanks/Wangi 14:53, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Ok, in that case please consider using a more appropriate tag from Wikipedia:Image copyright tags since fairuse isn't the right one. Likewise for any other photos you have taken yourself and uploaded. Thanks/Wangi 10:59, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] TransLink routes page

Page title should really be TransLink (South-East Queensland), but anyway:

Divie the bus routes into the 11 regions by following the numbers:

- Brisbane South - 100-199 (excluding Brisbane Central numbers)

- Brisbane East - 200-249

- Eastern Region - 250-299 (yet to be created)

- Brisbane North - 300-399 (some operated by Hornibrook (315) and Brisbane Buslines (399))

- Brisbane West - 400-479 (some operated by Westside (463))

- Western Region - 480-539

- Southern Region - 540-599 (excluding GCL)

- Sunshine Coast - 600-639

- Northern Region - 640-699

- Gold Coast - 700-??? (Yet to be fully implemented - NB: Planning documents indicate up to 759, but some new routes in service are numbered as high as 768; possible that this will go as further than the plans state due to feedback)

- Brisbane Central (Miscellaneous - 190-195; 470; 475; 476 etc - see TransLink site)

In short - go by regions and not by operators; indicate:

Route number - (Terminus to Terminus, or placename loop, or shuttle, GCL etc) via (etc) (service type if applicable e.g. express, link, local, special BT ones)(operating days/times) (operator abbrevation)

E.g.

738 - Pacific Fair to Harbour Town via Bundall, Benowa TAFE and Griffith University (Weekdays and Saturdays) (SBL)

601 - Caloundra to Noosa Heads via Kawana Waters, Maroochydore and Coolum (Evening peak weekdays and Saturdays) (SUN)

111 - Eight Mile Plains Busway Station to Queen St Bus Station via South-East Busway (Busway Service) (Everyday) (BT)

550 - Springwood to Browns Plains via Woodridge, Kingston, Marsden and Crestmead (Everyday) (LCBS)

697 - Redcliffe Peninsula Anticlockwise Loop (Local) (Weekdays and Saturdays) (HBL)

BT = Brisbane Transport

SUN = Sunbus

BIC = Bribie Island Coaches

CBL = Caboolture Bus Lines

KBL = Kangaroo Bus Lines

TBS = Thompson's Bus Service

HBL = Hornbrook Bus Lines

BBL = Brisbane Bus Lines

CNX = Connex Brisbane

MGBS = Mt Gravatt Bus Service

LCBS = Logan City Bus Service

WBC = Westside Bus Co.

PRT = Park Ridge Transit

SBL = Surfside Buslines

Just a suggestion - actual formatting of each line to be determined by you, but should have that info at least. You don't need as much detail as the guy who posted all the BT routes - just the basics really. Maybe a series of tables would be appropriate?

[edit] Brisbane Airport

The reason why I did things the way that I did them was because when I tried to move "Brisbane International Airport" to "Brisbane Airport", I was told that it was impossible since a page for "Brisbane Airport" already existed, so I was forced to undertake the action that I subsequently had to, to make the name of the airport correct.

[edit] Image Tagging Image:MtBeerwah Cliff.jpg

This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:MtBeerwah Cliff.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stan 16:38, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! (Great pictures, BTW, glad we can keep them.) Stan 13:32, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TransLink

TransLink (Brisbane) was a misnomer. It is the regional transport system for all of South-East Queensland. The content remains the same and the new name is more accurate. If there is a more appropriate means for doing what I have done, feel free. SM247 05:09, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
