[edit] Welcome!

Hello I live in Brisbane and work as a bus driver, my hobbies are rock climbing, Australian history and genealogy. Although I have used Wikipedia as a resource for sometime the idea of contributing only came after seeing an article that was screaming for attention and although my efforts were very amateurish, I found it very rewarding and am now firmly addicted and as I get more confident will start to give more --Matt 08:34, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brisbane Ferries

I'm not quite sure what you are going on with River Connections but ferry services was contracted out to Metrolink Queensland in 2003. Check www.metrolinkqueensland.com.au history page for details. And CityFerry is related to the few present ferries routes that runs between Bulimba and North Quay. CityFerry and CityCat is like Ipswich railway line or something like that to me which should not be merged but worth mentioning in Brisbane Ferries along with CityCat. hth, matt-(my page-leave me a message) 13:21, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

• Good idea on verifying first. I never really paid attention to that when I'm on CityCat. But either way, I just realised about the tables, if they're for CityFerry services I'd suggest putting it in CityFerry page as it's more specific to CityFerry. matt-(my page-leave me a message) 01:26, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] {{helpme}}

I have just created a link in the Brisbane Ferries for a reference and it wont work thanks --Matt 09:48, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

I fixed it for you. The link needed to be enclosed in [ and ] brackets, and in the references section you add <references/>. You don't have to manually add the references in the references section -- the software will take care of that for you. For a full explanation of the easiest way to add references, see WP:FOOT.
