[edit] St. Stephen's School

I'm pretty sure that St. Stephen's has got over 2000 students over both campuses. I'm in Year 12 (this year :D) at Duncraig...but I think that there is about 150 students in each high school year group, and 30 students in each class in primary school (double-streaming for years 5-7). Therefore there should be about 5*150+6*30+2*3*30=1110 students per campus. Again, I'm not too sure about Carramar.

Also, it's probably better to cite "well-regarded" - for a lot of students, it seems anything but. Although I quite like it :) I heart duff 01:54, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My Request for Adminship

Thanks for contributing to my RfA! Thank you for your support in my my RfA, which passed with a tally of 117/0/1.

[edit] Re: Satellite pics

Would you rather use this for Rosita [1]? There's not much because it didn't last very long. Good kitty 20:48, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

I put about three more pics at Commons if you want to use any of them. Good kitty 17:35, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks :)

Thanks heaps for helping out with the Perth road stubs - much appreciated! Orderinchaos78 18:00, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

No worries. :) RaNdOm26 05:05, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Also I notice you, me and User:DanielT5 all have different, but similar sentiment, anti-DST boxes as well. I wonder how many there are around the place? (Maybe we should have a category) Orderinchaos78 14:39, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
I don't know, but a category would be a good idea. RaNdOm26 19:28, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD Alert

An editor has nominated the article Meanings of asteroid names (139001-140000) for deletion, under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the nomination (also see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on why the topic of the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome: participate in the discussion by editing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Meanings of asteroid names (139001-140000). Add four tildes like this ˜˜˜˜ to sign your comments. You can also edit the article Meanings of asteroid names (139001-140000) during the discussion, but do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top of the article), this will not end the deletion debate. Urhixidur 18:15, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Why are you asking ME??? Oh well, I just participated anyway. RaNdOm26 07:57, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:ShannonNoll62908.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:ShannonNoll62908.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr 12:48, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Australian category scales

Category 5 Severe Tropical Cyclone Larry 4

Yes I'm concerned about it too. The problem is we need a useful global comparative scale (Beaufort scale would be junk for example); and the SSHS is the most suitable candidate for that. It is readily usable with all other scales; except for the Australian one - because of the fact they are both numerical. For example, the SW Indian Anita does this well. This makes me think the best way forward here would be to ignore the fact the Aussie scale is numerical and just use it as if it was text. The top of the infobox in the season for Cyclone Larry could then look like that to the right. The section header would be "Cyclone Larry", which is how it is known locally (and globally). The full local designation is given, and the global equivalence (thru SSHS) is given. Its not perfect, but I think it is a reasonable solution.--Nilfanion (talk) 12:25, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Sweet Escape (song)

The convention that I've seen in nearly every article is that only national charts and the very occasional minor Billboard chart (Pop 100, Rhythmic Top 40, etc.) are used. I've responded at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Songs as not to scatter the discussion. You may also want to see if Velten has any input (she added the message about WP:SONG). ShadowHalo 01:47, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

A little while back I believe I read somewhere within the Project that the UWC should not be included in the information box; however, seeing how I can no longer locate it there, perhaps opening an avid discussion would be best since a consensus has yet to be reached.

[edit] Larry

(cross-posted from Talk:Cyclone Larry)

Question is, when was the BOM report last updated? The news article does not say that it was downgraded *at landfall*, and the BOM report itself says it made landfall as a 4. I believe the news article means the BOM has downgraded it from its peak. I'm willing to email the BOM to ask, if needed. – Chacor 13:10, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I've emailed the BOM now, so we'll see what they say I suppose. – Chacor 13:27, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
OK, we will wait til BOM replies. Regarding the question about when it was updated: a BOM pdf report on Larry which gives similar info was created on 20th March 2007, 8:42 am. RaNdOm26 09:33, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Interesting. Well, an initial email reply from the BOM would suggest that it retained Cat5 status at peak, but they said to email back if I had further queries, so I did. I'm expecting a reply on Monday from the QLD tech officer. Hopefully then we'll know for sure. Cheers, – Chacor 10:02, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kara category

JTWC acknowledged in its 21Z warning (18Z operational) on the 26th that a peak of 105 kt had been reached around 06Z (despite their 06Z saying 65 kt).

"CURRENT POSITIONING AND STORM MOTION ARE SUPPORTED BY THE LATEST RADAR IMAGERY FROM THE DAMPIER RADAR. TC 20S HAS WEAKENED OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. PEAK INTENSITY OF 105 KNOTS OCCURRED NEAR 26/06Z WHEN SYSTEM HAD A PINPOINT EYE AND HAS DECREASED SINCE THAT TIME."

Cheers, – Chacor 03:47, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Wow, that's really weird. Didn't know they changed it so high! RaNdOm26 16:19, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Yeah. I asked Gary Padgett about it and he said it was rare for JTWC to pretty much acknowledge such a mistake. – Chacor 16:24, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
