[edit] Welcome to WP:Sydney

Just thought I'd say HI! and please have a look at the suburb pages, and the highway / road pages, and PARTICIPATE! --Garrie 22:29, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Westfield Hurstville

Hi There are articles for quite a few Westfileds around Sydney - check out Category:Shopping centres in Australia, Category:Shopping centres in New South Wales, Category:Shopping centres in Sydney. Is there something that could go in the article for Westfield Hurstville that would help it stand out from the other Westfields in Sydney - and try to stay away from issues that will date unless you can write them in a way that doesn't become dated (such as, "it's the biggest shopping centre in the southern hemisphere" vs "when built in 2002, Westfield Hurstville was the biggest shopping centre in the southern hemisphere An online reference"). If you are making these kind of claims please cite a source!

Categories are an easy way to avoid your page being marked as an orphan, and an easy place for other editors to find your article so they can link it to either existing or new articles.

By the way - all the shopping centres in Sydney should only be in Category:Shopping centres in Sydney, if you feel like moving some of them out of Category:Shopping centres in Australia... --Garrie 23:53, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

A bit more but this time it's a semi-rant:
Please see my suggestion that All Westfields are the same, and my proposed new article, Westfields in Australia.

[edit] Bus companies / route information

Hi, I don't want to be in edit wars regarding bus route information. But could you please include a commentary along with any list, regarding who/what/where/why/when for the bus routes - who is serviced, why and when does change depending upon the routes. It can be a single paragraph at the top of the list. Along the lines of "XX operate N bus routes between Suburb1 and Suburb2." A sentence to identify are these links to a cityrail station, or direct to commuters destinations would help to provide context for the article, as would information regarding when the routes commenced or were taken over.

BusLink#Routes is a short example of what I mean - it needs expansion.

In my opinion if you don't provide a secondary reference a list of bus routes is either a copyvio or it is original research. If nobody else other than the bus company and STA have written about the bus routes they probably aren't notable enough to be on the article. As I said I'm not looking for an edit war, however if the information is to be on the article I would like to see commentary as well. Garrie 05:42, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

You wrote
I don't want this section of the article to go the way of Sydney bus routes 100-199, which was deleted ..
That is what I am getting at when I say, put the list of routes in a human context as providing identified services to a specific group of people (school kids? work commuters? shoppers?).
  • LISTS OF SERVICES are going up to AfD and being deleted.
  • Articles describing bus services are going up to AfD and being kept.
Garrie 23:51, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
Re BusLink article - that's pretty much what I had in mind. A narative offering context for the list which follows. Think of the list as being the detailed information in a report - a lot of readers will want to be able to pick up the jist of it without reading the whole list to find that "most of the routes commence from the same place".

[edit] Iron Cove Bridge

Hey What's New? (Like your user name btw). I noticed you added a picture of Iron Cove Bridge today. Have you considered uploading this and your other images to Wikimedia Commons. I have added a number of other Iron Cove Bridge pictures to the Commons:Rozelle, New South Wales page and it may be worth doing the same so there is a central repository for them. If you need a hand doing this, just let me know. --10:47, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Just a happy Birthday message to you, Whats new?, from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day!

[edit] License tagging for Image:Evans Bridge.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Evans Bridge.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 12:06, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Thanks for the great review

I am glad you had considered my review as a good advice. Keep it up! -- ReyBrujo 02:04, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bathurst railway station, New South Wales

Thanks for the quick turnaround on providing a category. The article looks well-written, though be aware that there is some ongoing controversy in certain areas of Wikipedia as to whether or not railway stations are notable enough for individual articles (see WP:NOT under "Wikipedia is not a directory" for more). However, I've definitely been seeing many railway station articles appear around Wikipedia, so this may have been discussed in more detail somewhere else, I'm not sure. Also, I couldn't tell where any of the information in your article came from? I've added the {{originalresearch}} tag for now, but if you can supply some sources to a "References" section on the article, so that it also complies with the policy on Wikipedia:Verifiability, feel free to then remove the tag. Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions.  :) --Elonka 18:11, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

I'd simply ignore the above. There is a long-standing consensus that train stations are notable, and all such articles have received keep results if nominated for deletion (at least that I can remember) since at least 2003. Elonka disagrees; that's her prerogative, but she actually needs to get a consensus if she wants to change the status quo. The article is well-written, and I'm absolutely sure it would survive any deletion attempt. Rebecca 23:13, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

No worries about the edit - I figure it should keep the "non-notable" people away from the article for a while -it has more references than Central station now! I think it's about time all listed CountryLink stations got their own article - Victoria, and also the UK have one for every operational country station, so I don't know why we can't.

[edit] Iron Cove Bridge

Believe it or not, we were writing about the second bridge at the same time. I have merged our two contributions together - hope you are OK with the result. amitch 10:16, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Gogostop.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Gogostop.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may 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. JDtalk 11:56, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notability guideline being developed for malls

You have recently commented on AfDs for Shopping Malls. Please see WP:MALL where there is an ongoing attempt to create a guideline for which malls are deserving of articles. Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks! Edison 07:02, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shell Australia

Thanks for your feedback. I did see the Shell Canada reference. It is a moot point whether a company 78% owned by Royal Dutch Shell can be termed a "Canadian oil company". In the case of Australia, I'm not 100% sure there is an entity termed Shell Australia anymore, but suffice to say the operations of Shell in Australia are 100% governed by Royal Dutch Shell. It is a case these days of Royal Dutch Shell having some operations in Australia, being its "upstream" operations like North West Shelf gas production, and "downstream" operations such as its refineries and the retail network (the latter being largely operated through Coles Express). To that end, Shell's activities in Australia are not particularly distinctive from its other operations elsewhere in the world, so I don't believe a separate reference is required.
