[edit] Quick one

Hi :) Just so you know btw, the moves on templates last night were to stop the templates from being auto assigned to some strange category by some template down the line. Orderinchaos 02:38, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Heh, didn't even notice tilly ou mentioned it. Thanks. aliasd·U·T 03:45, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] the Sydney Journal

Hi there, Just thought I'd drop you, and others from the recent meetup, a line and mention that the first edition of the Dictionary of Sydney's online, peer-reviewed journal is now live.

The Sydney Journal is the first (and most academically rigorous) "product" of the Dictionary. It will be a quarterly publication with a variety of texts from upcoming Dictionary articles and is hosted by UTS E-press. This edition features 4 thematic articles, 6 ethnicities and 5 suburbs - all specifically related to Sydney.

I hope you find it useful and interesting - If nothing else it's essays are eminently referenceable for their corresponding articles here on WP.

[edit] Courtesy notice

maybe they combined graffiti and a good edit, they wrote "'boberta is on the way![''''Bold text" at the bottom of the article. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 18:53, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikimedia commons

Hi Aliasd,I'm an editor from the french wiipedia and i'm actually translating some articles about PNG, I can see you made a lot of work about this topic and it's great for us to have some good article to translate about this country so remote for us so unknown in France. So Txs a lot for that. But I will have one question, you downloaded a lot of free of rights images in en:wikipedia why don't you download them in commons instead? Cause we cannot use them easily and I think it's a pity. Best regards--Kimdime69 (talk) 00:09, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

There are quite a lot of images I posted to Wikipedia instead of Commons before I understood image licensing and had a commons account etc, sorry for that. I think there is an admin or bureaucrat on Commons that has a bot that can move compatible licensed images over en mass on request. I would ask over there or on IRC if I were you. I most certainly have no problem at all with images I have uploaded that have a compatible license being moved to Commons. aliasd·U·T 13:43, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Map error

Hello - I was admiring your map work and using it for reference when I noticed that there may be a slight error in your map of Bougainville (North Solomons). Your map includes Treasury Islands, Shortland Islands and Fauro Island as part of Bougainville, however, Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, the CIA factbook, and even the Constitution of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville (2004)([1]) show that these islands belong to the Solomon Islands, not Papua New Guinea. Here is a description of Bougainville from the Constitution:

• Commencing at the point of intersection of the meridian 154 degrees east longitude with the Equator thence by the said Equator east to its intersection with the meridian 160 degrees east longitude thence by the said meridian 160 degrees east longitude south to its intersection with the parallel 4 degrees 50 minutes south latitude thence by the said parallel 4 degrees 50 minutes south latitude west to its intersection with the meridian 159 degrees east longitude thence by a straight line south-westerly to a point distant 6 nautical miles on a bearing of 42 degrees true from Cape Friendship thence by a straight line southerly to a point distance 4 nautical miles on a bearing of 70 degrees 30 minutes true from Cape Friendship aforesaid thence by a straight line south-westerly to a point distant 3 nautical miles due south from the southern point of the peninsula which bounds the harbour of Tonelei on the east thence by a straight line south-westerly to a point distant 3 nautical miles due south from Moila Point thence by a straight line westerly to a point distant 8 nautical miles on a bearing of 249 degrees true from Moila Point aforesaid thence by a straight line south-westerly to the intersection of the parallel 8 degrees south latitude with the meridian 154 degrees east longitude thence by the said meridian 154 east longitude north to the point of commencement.

As you can see, this description falls in line with the boundaries displayed in the above mentioned sources. So did you possibly mistake these islands on your map? I will add to the confusion that THIS WEBSITE shows the islands as included as part of Bougainville. Rarelibra (talk) 14:57, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Wow! this is a bit confusing. I will go ahead and change the map shortly to support the boundary quoted in the constitution. I used the UPNG Remote Sensing Centre as a primary source, and obviously copied the error from there. Thankyou for your hard work getting to the bottom of this. aliasd·U·T 00:12, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
