[edit] WikiProject Tasmania

Just thought I'd let you know about the work being done at WikiProject Tasmania, the reincarnation of WikiProject Hobart. I see you've been putting in some great work on some Tasmania-related articles so feel free to check it out :) Orderinchaos78 08:23, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mount Field

Hey if you need any help in creating separate articles or whatever - please ask - also my comments at the merge proposal by casliber are made from my experience of the west coast mountains - If you can gut the Mt Field NP article and use it as a linking article- great! cheers SatuSuro 14:24, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of penal colonies

Thanks for editing it - it alerted me to a list that definitely needs challenging (they are locations not colonies) - moving or renaming - cheers SatuSuro 12:43, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE: List of Tasmanian mammals

Can you provide a link for the name change for the Red-necked Wallaby? It's possible that it hasn't been accepted across the scientific community. Anyway, it's best to discuss things like this here just to make sure you're doing the right thing. Frickeg 04:38, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mt Maria and Bishop & Clerk - Maria Island

Hi Cheyne, Thanks for your comments on my userpage. Please go ahead with changing the heights and cite the state maps you indicate. I added the Geoscience Australia citation because the heights were changed without any reason or reference and it was hard to judge what was going on. What you say makes sense, and I agree that the state maps by those who did the surveying should be more authorative. Perhaps put a comment similar to the one on my talk page on the article talk page so that others don't wonder why you are changing from the figure given by Geoscience Australia. I once visted Maria Island, but sadly never had time to climb the mountains, which I'm sure would have been a great view. Zamphuor (talk) 13:49, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Maria Island National Park

Hi Cheyne, I see by the corrections you make you consider yourself a specialist on parks or penal settlements. I don't mind grammar/typos being fixed, I made a start to fix that site and only later discovered there was a separate site called "Maria Island National Park". I did not get the chance to go back and clean things up as I wuold have liked. Obviously, Obviously I would not have created two! And as to your last rediculous comment, do you not think that the fact the place is an island AND the fact that the place is a national park might be covered by the heading "Maria Island National Park"?? But, the thing that peeves me is that as for your so called discoveries of factual errors, I am the person that anyone official to do with the park comes to when they want to know anything about its history. I see such people as yourself and other have littered both sites with numerous errors, such as the comment that Aboriginals were located mostly in other places than the island's isthmus. I can assure you from the extensive research on the documentation completed on the two main voyages that visited the island (and in case you do not know there were in 1789 and 1802) most of their occupation was in the two bays surrounding the isthmus. I think a few of you need to research a lot more about the island before contributing, there are a lot of factual errors contributed by others on both sites. As it is my extensive knowledge based on extensive research I have used to add information to the site, I also do not see any problem in referncing the only good publication that is a source of this information, especially given the rangers and co on the island sell my publication as a reliable source of all informatin about Maria Island National Park. regards Michaelhobart —Preceding unsigned comment added by Michaelhobart (talk • contribs) 06:45, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
