References

Hey, i am adding references to the Aquinas College, Perth article, and when i add them, sometimes it just removes certain sections from the article, or takes away some title/just completely mucking up the page. How can i fix it? Smbarnzy 11:10, 13 February 2007 (UTC) many thanks.

Wheatbelt Towns

Hi now that I am finally settled in here I want to get to work on the Wheatbelt towns, I got Orderinchaos78 to finish the template so I could get some idea of what has to be done. As from reading what youve said elsewhere you seem to know a fair bit about these things and what is required, do you have any tips or strategies for getting a lot of pages done like this? Like obviously I don't want them all to just be stubs (we werent really that concerned with the roads ones :). DanielT5 14:09, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Brilliant typed your user name and there 297 items just like that! Hey only 3 more images to hit the big one! excellent ref! Satu Suro 05:55, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah just been throwing candy water on the john forrest argument - probably not exactly witiquette on my part - but... Satu Suro 06:13, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

The two arguments are missing the point.. imho - but it would have to be after at least one round at meetup to get oiled up about the issue though :) Satu Suro 14:36, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey http://henrietta.liswa.wa.gov.au/search/X?SEARCH=king+george+sound&searchscope=1&Da=&Db=&p=&SORT=A - thats 160 items - not bad for a sheltered anchorage... Satu Suro 13:14, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Good to see you in there on the KGS - your comment - road and ship - the rail was in by 1889 yes? (just fixing the gsr art- and thought perhaps a qualifier of rail for mail as aearly as 1889? mind you im noexpert on the gsr and whether they did mail or not... but it sort of makes sense Satu Suro 13:05, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeehah! found a followup to the nullabor party - try - AI-Con - for that wonderful feeling of afd with a shiver of notoriety and viability - not forgetting redundant soggy biscuits Satu Suro 14:17, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

It would appear the process of afd is so up to question that like with bomberphone which hesp just sent on its way is that speedy and prod (which i dont understand at all) are the way to go ... Satu Suro 01:02, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Could you be a good mate and have a look at the way that I have been responding to the new indonesian editor - who/where would you go over the tricky issue? Thanks if you are able - trust all is well - cheers Satu Suro 04:41, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

for adjusting the WP Aust template--Golden Wattle ^talk 21:12, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello Gnangarra. Both myself and Mattinbgn have been working with Golden Wattle to use the Riverina tag that you created as a part of the WP Aust template. The two of us have struck a minor query which in summary is .... Should Riverina towns' talk pages be tagged with both Australian places and Riverina tags? If you go to User talk:VirtualSteve#Riverina tags here you will see our earlier discussion. We have asked Golden Wattle's opinion but she has gone to ground for a few days (busy in real life). Can we have your opinion please? --VS ^{talk...images} 21:25, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Cheers - thanks for the response - appreciate your time. --VS ^{talk...images} 01:57, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome

Thanks for welcoming me. I have added substantial content to the Mount Barker WA page. There's plenty of work to do yet, including formatting, links and photos, but the basics are there. Comments welcome.--AndrewD MBarker 16:27, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Aquinas College, Perth

Hey gnangarra, just wondering if you could take a look at the Aquinas College, Perth article, ive made alot of changes in regard to: sections, references and images (just to name a few). I was after your thoughts on what has been done, and what needs to be done. Thanks Smbarnzy 15:47, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

speedy

Interesting to see an admin tagging something for speedy deletion. Did you forget that you have the tools, or were you looking for a second opinion? Hesperian 00:56, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Buizel

Buoysel is currently at the Japanese name, and was kept there because Buizel didn't have reliable sources backing it up. Now, there is a photo of toy packaging from Toy Fair that has "Buizel" on it. With this reliable source, everyone agrees that the English name is indeed "Buizel", and all mention of it was changed to Buizel. However, thanks to a previous move war, it cannot be moved to the Buizel name. ' 01:43, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your assistance. ' 01:45, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

B. epica

When you've got a spare moment, can you check that all the external links in references work, and remove the ones that don't? They all work for me, but some apparently don't work for Guettarda. Hesperian 02:29, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Buizel move

OK, two problems here, first of all, this move was NOT uncontroversial. Apostrophe had previously listed it at WP:RM under uncontroversial proposals, and I removed it due to controversy. The user’s request here on your talk page was a blatant abuse of your admin goodwill in an attempt to circumvent policy and process.
Second, and more urgently, you seem to have accidentally lost the entire talk page somewhere in the move process. Talk:Buizel still redirects to Talk:Buoysel, which is empty, having been deleted by you. --WikidSmaht (talk) 02:37, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

OK I've restored the talk page. With the article page it came up under a speedy deletion request to remove the redirect and enable the page move. I'm happy to revert the move while this issue is resolved if thats what you would like. Gnan garra 04:27, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Yeah, the speedy deletion request by Apostrophe was bad faith, the move request having been removed from WP:RM previously. Moving it back might be good, though I don’t imagine that will last long. But, yeah, do, saves me from accusations of move warring. Thanks. --WikidSmaht (talk) 20:51, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Banksia flowers

I could probably get some shots of Banksias from the Banksia Farm. It would take time of course but the main flowering season is close. In the meantime I'll have a look at what pics I've already got.--AndrewD MBarker 14:13, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

American Christmas traditions

I see you speedied this page as a copyvio. However, there is some question about this and several other articles with the same contributor. If Argonaut was not the original contributor there is page history that is not a copyvio that is worth saving. Even if Argonaut is the original contributor there is a question as to if it's a copyvio as the originating website has a license which may be semi-compatable with Wikipedia's. At any rate, a group of us are willing to re-write these. Would you please restore it? ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 15:02, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Recent Unblocking of Xenophrenic

I don’t know why you unblocked Xenophrenic, or how he convinced you to do so. I don’t know how the fact that the arbitration case and the check user were done a year apart is relevant to your unblocking him. Xenophrenic edits only one article, an article that the anon edited and edit wars over the same exact material [1] [2], that’s why the checkuser came back as likely. Torturous Devastating Cudgel 15:23, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm having a look over your post to my talk page concerning Xenophrenic now. Allow me some time to look into all that's gone on over time and I'll get back to you shortly with an opinion. -- Longhair\^talk 08:00, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Chronology

There is a brilliant paper by one of my uni friends who is in canberra -(if I havent oltd you about it) that tracks all the weird and wonderful world starting dates of the world from various crackpot ideas and religious groups - must get a copy and post it... Satu Suro 02:07, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

close up of jarrah bark, marrri bark so that joe public has a way of reccognising the two would be one, red gum blossom in hills is like snow at the moment a billion gums trees are trying to tell us something up here - blossoming like its the end of time... i gotta go down to city now and signing off - but the current florescence is well worth a piccie or three.. cheers Satu Suro 02:24, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Rachelle Ann Go has signs that I would appreciate a watch from a page protecctting admin - and you are one - there is a regular vandal who uses orangutan and gorilla and reverses them, with this page - obviously its love :) Satu Suro 12:17, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Tower image

No problem. I'll see if I can dig up the original. I agree the images are getting numerous so I'll hold off for a while and see where the text content goes from here. I may look at putting a gallery in later, with identifying local pics. I do have a document which discusses some town history. I realise I can reference it but I'm uncertain to what extent I can use it without risking plagiarism. It's essentially a research document produced in relation to forestry - you can find it here if you want to take a look. On a side note, it's rather interesting editing a page at the same time as someone else - my heart re-started a couple of times for a minute there :) --AndrewD MBarker 13:57, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Just transwikied a few of my previously uploaded images to Commons. Could you please blat the en ones? :) Thanks

Darling Scarp

Your ellis brook panoramic 6mb monster is quite good - but could you please put a caption and explanation for joe public? otherwise its a weird blue blob in the middle of the thing - it would be appreciated the more you can put in (like where the hell is ellis brook - or the reserve and what a re we looking at - its for the geographically and botanically challenged of other parts of this poor old planet, ta.

greetings on this bloody hot evening - hope the rain does come- you have a flea mile in your inboxSatu Suro 14:00, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

On what you say we can say at least that its darling range, near victoria reservoir? looking east? surely thats not a v and n violation? Satu Suro 09:20, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

IP 82.111.197.26

Can the bot check out User:82.111.197.26 I did a who is and got Akeley Wood Senior School but not sure how to add the school box. Gnan garra 15:41, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

The bot should check the IP as soon as you put a note on the IP users's talk page. --Selket ^Talk 15:44, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks - it seemed so odd to have created it and not actually put anythinmg in - actually they were parent company of the one in my seccond sandbox - when i get that up i sppoise i can add it... Satu Suro 11:10, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Banksia photos

I've uploaded two Banksia pics. B. seminuda and B. coccinea. I've put them in the appropriate sub-categories but am unsure if further information (botanical) seeds to be added to the image pages. also have more pics which were taken at the Banksia Farm a couple of years ago but have no identification for them. I'm not sure if it's possible to just upload them somewhere and have someone else identify and categorise them. Suggestions welcome. --AndyD_MB 12:02, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Plus, if you can give me some advice on splitting my sig for user and talk pages I'd appreciate it. I've tried all sorts but can't get the 'talk' half to work. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by AndrewD MBarker (talk • contribs) 12:44, 24 February 2007 (UTC).

"when sign on your talk page it doesnt link" - d'oh. That makes sense I guess :) Every configuration I tried wa sprobably fine. Let's see how this one works.--Andy_MB 13:12, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Soldier settlement (Australia)

Hi Gnangarra, soldier settlement schemes directly influenced every state of Australia and have a direct link to irrigation commencement etc. These schemes opened up vast quantities of (amongst other places) Western Australia. Until today there was no article on Wiki covering the topic. I have started it and have also suggested it to be a WP:ACOTF article - would welcome your support if you think that such an article is appropriate for a collaboration project? --VS ^{talk...images} 02:09, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Aquinas Article

I wanted you to weigh into the debate on Talk:Aquinas College, Perth about the establishment of the college. Thanks Smbarnzy 07:07, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Re: Barnstorming

The ref is on a U.S. Government website, so is presumably a product of the U.S. government, and so in the public domain. That settles the copyright aspect, but there is still the moral right of David H. Onkst to be recognised as the author of the material. You could probably settle that with a dummy edit with an informative edit summary. Hesperian 22:13, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Ansearch

Would you mind swinging by Talk:Ansearch and commenting? —Moondyne 00:11, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Asterix

The recurrent theme for asterix or gobelix or ? - I think it was a fear of such that apeeared in every volume that i ever read my kids :) All we are getting is the noise of thunder... bit like a misfiring search engine :) Satu Suro 01:58, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

walked away and taken off wachtlist - the playground has been left to its own devices - I have no interest in the attitude or the inability to understand context in the wider world or wikipedia - probably an outsider will look and weep in despair Satu Suro 11:23, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

The political issues that arise in asterix make me wonder where they fit - are they the roman legions innocently playing a quiet game of chess just before one of obelix'es menhirs fly on top of them, or are they the offspring of the villagers who get into the fray when the smelly fish start flying? Satu Suro 11:38, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh well as some one pops in every now and then makes sure they havent demolished the house - or murdered the babysitter - or hacked into the russian doomsday machine start button - i suppose the duty of care issues can be sorted out by the parents wealthy minders over the remains... Satu Suro 11:46, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Maybe youd like to share the fun at monarchy? Satu Suro 11:56, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Getafix or was it obelix would love that list i am sure! all those brasses to throw menhirs at! :) Satu Suro 12:53, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

And then we'd all retire to the club and wax our moustaches while we have a stiff drink (leaving all weapons at the door/in the draws - with the man in black ) ? Satu Suro 13:01, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

And indeed so we all should! Satu Suro 13:12, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Short sweet and to the point - send it - and I can see I 'll have to sell some more ephemera to pay for the first round :) Satu Suro 13:32, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah now that my troops are down i can slip in a quick 20 cat tags for the indonesia project once ive turned the noisy pool pump off, sigh...Satu Suro 13:46, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Where does the answer go - is what i was thinking... ?Satu Suro 13:49, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey in touch with the creator, it has a cetain biblical feeling to it - probably clouds and thunder and lightning and a hand monty python style descending from above. Excellent. Satu Suro 13:59, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

The ranges

Off wiki request quite large and complicated - do you want a spare couple of 1gb and smaller memory cards at all ? will get the email to you sometime tommorrow - it will be quite complicated - (would you expecct anything else?) cheers Satu Suro 04:19, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Anything and everything. Geographic features (e.g. peaks); plants (B. brownii is on Yungermere and Ellen Peak ;-) ); vegetation communities (e.g. proteaceous heath); interesting geological formations... heck, I'm so jealous. Hesperian 04:32, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

B. brownii is probably a bit much to ask, but Persoonia micranthera might not be. Okay, I'll shut up now... for now. Hesperian 05:08, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Banksia images

Thanks using the pics, and for letting me know. The B. seminuda pic is actually from my front yard (I have a large, mature tree.... plus countless seedlings popping up everywhere), not from the Banksia Farm. B. coccinea is from the Banksia Farm though. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by AndrewD MBarker (talk • contribs) 14:44, 27 February 2007 (UTC).

Okay, I'll see what pics I can get of the seedlings (I have to confess a lot of them get "weeded". plus this summer has taken its toll)--AndyD_MB 15:24, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Campaign templates

Yeah, if it is a strict voting then it will be no consensus because of milhist voters (they worry about other campaignboxes). However I think all the nominated templates are similar in POV related things, per Steve comments. However, based on Kirill's comments, I might redraw 2nd chechen & iraq war, and keep the two rest. How's about that? — Indon (reply) — 10:24, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
