Australian Olympic medalists in Swimming

Hello Moondyne. Sorry for taking so long. I was out of action from 25/7 to 1/8 due to illness, and since then, seem to have been designated to patrol a lot of Indian religious pages and a few India-Pakistan military things (even more after Anwar being blocked a month for socking Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Anwar saadat), and amusingly, seem to get even more messages from Indian editors than even Nichalp and Gurubrahma (lol) - so it seems I need to spend a lot of time trawling through about 10 guys' edits for testy dialogue and aggravating retoric on talk pages. So I haven't been to delete or write much, but personally that may seem a good excuse to default to the incumbent version, if for no other reason. Although I guess the Olympics are often associated with medal tallies, so maybe the medal ranking maybe more natural as well as my laziness. Thanks, Blnguyen | rant-line 04:21, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, these things are unfortunate sometimes. It has basically dissipated now, so I got stuck into an expansion of Ricky Ponting which is explained on its talk page, as well as cleaning up Monty Panesar - he seems to generate a lot of humour. Blnguyen | rant-line 06:38, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Performance Poetry

Should be out of where it is as a separate art - no-one deserves that relative space within an art like that, it's as though some little vegemite didnt know how to start a new art :( SatuSuro 03:27, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Maaf maaf saya lupa orang ini orang inggeris, belum mengerti semua kata kata tentang sastra australie tak semua omong omong sastra tinggi daripada orang keras dalam "pub". OK, I am about to cut it out - its disproportionate (waah kalau orang ini mengerti, inshallah) to the rest of the article, and not usually acceptable in most conventional academic circles as a legitimate form of "literature in the first place".salaam!

Brett Lee

Is it true that Lee bowled a 100.3 mph delivery in the 2003 WC ? Tintin (talk) 05:22, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Butting in, I think that is true. I'm sure Akhtar did once against England in the group stage and then Lee also. IIRC, the commentators made jokes about Nick Knight being on the receiving end of both of them. Blnguyen | rant-line 05:25, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
I'd not heard it before, but, according to this it seems to be true. -- Moondyne 05:27, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

http://ind.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/WORLD_CUPS/WC2003/SCORECARDS/FINALS/AUS_SL_WC2003_ODI-SEMI1_18MAR2003_BBB-COMMS.html has it as 160.1 which is slightly under 100 (160.91 = 100 mph) and is slower than Thomson's best. A google for lee&atapattu&100.3 gets no hits. I guess we should change it to 160.1 Tintin (talk) 05:40, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Based on MOS, it probably should read "160.1 kph (99.5 mph)". 160.1 is the source (3.6 Lee to Atapattu, OUT: 160.1kph ball, straight and on the off stump does him in, played in a transfixed mode and ball got through) so it should go first. -- Moondyne 05:58, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
Hmm. Not slower than Thomson, I think. Thomson's fastest measured delivery was 99.7 mph (160.1) which I somehow remembered as 160.7. Tintin (talk) 07:07, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
In the second para of the Lee article is a referenced statement that his fastest delivery was 160.8 kph (99.91 mph). -- Moondyne 07:37, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Amongst many other things

Looking at the Perth wetlands things in Lake Monger - I was thinking that the Swan Coastal Plain art which was I was trying to expand might "borrow" the lakes of Perth material - what do you think? (note I say nothing about cricket, wisdom, indonesian language, or --oids in the body of this message :) ) it would seem a more logical location, perhaps? SatuSuro 01:18, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

August Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: To-Do List
The Esperanza To-Do List is a place where you may list any request, big or small, for assistance. If you need help with archiving your usertalk, for example, all you need to do is list it here and somebody will help you out. Likewise, if you need help with some area of editing on Wikipedia, list it here! Again, any matter, trivial or not, can be placed on this page. However, all matters listed on this page must not be of an argumentative nature. You do not need to be a member of Esperanza (or this program) to place or fulfill requests on this page. If you don't have any requests, consider coming by and fulfilling a few! This program has not been very active, but has lots of potential!
What's New?
In order to help proposed programs become specific enough to make into full-fledged programs, the In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals that are promising, but need to be organized in more detail are listed here. Please take a look at what is there, and help the proposals turn into programs.
To improve both the layout and text of the front page, in an attempt to clarify the image of Esperanza, the front page is going to have some redesigning take place. Please take your creative minds to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Front page redesign to brainstorm good ideas.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
  1. In order to make sure all users who join Esperanza are welcomed, a list of volunteers who are willing to welcome new Esperanzians is at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Members#Esperanza_welcomers. Please add yourself if you are interested; we want to make sure all new Esperanza members are welcomed!
  2. The In development section of the proposals page has been created.
  3. Proposals page: Some proposals have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been archived. For those proposals that were a good idea but didn't necessarily constitute a program, General Esperanzial Actions has been created.
  4. Two small pieces of charter reform will be decided on in a straw poll at Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Governance. One involves filling the position of any councillors who may leave, the other involves reforming the charter.
  5. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program.
  6. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign.
Signed...

05:03, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

Coords

Cripes the example you gave seems to be a metricised coord with no minutes and seconds, I find it a bit challenging seeing that most of the coords I am getting from Higham, DLI Geographic Names cards, and Geosciences database are all the old stuff. Too many 0000'S for my liking :)

Even more disconcerting is the variation of coor stuff that includes labels inside the brackets giving locations spurious descriptions (I'll have to hunt - but I think Derwent Bridge, Tasmania is designated a type- town when its a 7 building locality ?!*&! )

Over to you for any comment. SatuSuro 06:14, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Triumph.stag.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Triumph.stag.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 {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use.

How's the cognitive dissonance per the previous two sections? On the one hand, you resolve to cut down your wiki-time. On the other hand, you're away for one hour, the shit hits the fan, and you missed out on the fun of being splattered with it. I imagine you're going through some serious mental conflict right now.

Graham/Garth McKenzie

Hi, Ian. Sorry for not replying sooner. I saw your message a few days ago but was just on my way out and then I forgot.

It's a borderline case, this one. All the books I've got call him Graham although David Frith does mention that he was nicknamed Garth. I think that really we should rely on primary sources and if they use what amounts to a pseudonym like Tiger Smith; or a diminutive like Plum Warner; or variant like Jack Hobbs, then we should use that and not the proper name. But if they use the proper name then it must follow that generations of readers have adopted the proper name too in their own usage and so I think a nickname should then be just that, but I certainly think it should be mentioned in the article that he had the nickname. For example, with Hornby, I've included both his known nicknames in the article.

All the best. --BlackJack | talk page 12:30, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Montebello Islands

Your tryall art has the navigators getting confused/ the dli geographic names cards have the confusion of islands created by incorrect identification of islands and places - do you think there is anything in that apart from incompetence? SatuSuro 08:24, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually your entry in tryall explained things a bit better - the issue that an anonymous dola person of old brought up in the card index was the problems that some of the post tryall explorers had with recognising what they were encountering - and trying to guess what was what - they confused islands and headlands a bit. Until I get into the info at DLI its probably not worth exploring too much - it seems some people got things wrong - and somehow admiralty charts picked the mistakes up rather than checking them (just like current map makers make mistakes) :) SatuSuro 12:37, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

If you want to prepare a statement, feel free to do so at User:Snottygobble/Drafts/RfAr; just be sure to restrict your editing to your own section. I have also set up an evidence page at User:Snottygobble/Drafts/Evidence, that you should feel free to edit. Snottygobble 01:27, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Peace and quiet

What with Margana and Marudubshinki, Wikipedia is not all that relaxing at the moment. Yesterday I wanted some peace and quiet, so I went over to Wikisource to post the title and contents page of Carolus Linnaeus the Younger's 1782 Supplementum Plantarum, thus giving me a place to post the section in which the genus Banksia was first published. Supplementum Plantarum was written entirely in Latin, so I ended up on the Latin Wikisource. The Latin Wikisource had 18 edits yesterday, 16 of which were mine. How's that for peace and quiet?! Snottygobble 02:03, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I discovered two websites, gallica and botanica, that have page scan images of many of the antique botany books. It was just a matter of keyboarding the text from the page scans. The hard bits were (1) figuring out what category to put it in (I ended up creating "Categoria:Botanica", which hopefully means Category:Botany); and (2) figuring out how to how to fill in the templates, e.g. "{{titulus2 | Scriptor = Carolo a Linné | OperaeTitulus = Supplementum Plantarum | OperaeWikiPagina = Supplementum Plantarum | Annus = 1782 | SubTitulus = 1362. Banksia }}". It was all good fun, and so far there hasn't been any blowback from people leaving screeds of dense Latin on my talk page demanding I justify my ridiculous edits. So far so good. Snottygobble 02:52, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I didn't mean to imply that you are responsible for me being stressed out, Maru. Perhaps I should have said "What with... my decision to bring an RfAr against Marudubshinki...". That would be more accurate in expressing that it is my decision to bring an action against you that has me stressed, rather than you specifically. It is a tense and unpleasant situation for both of us; much more, I accept, for you than for me. I'm sorry to be making your time on Wikipedia unpleasant, and I really regret the fact that our lots have been cast as antagonists rather than friends. But I really feel that I have to pursue a decision on this; this has been going on too long and I won't accept another non-decision fueled by a reluctance to "be the bad guy".

Rolls Royce

A wonder if you could take a look at the RR entry it sems to be all over the place. It getting hard to navigate I think Rolls Royce needs to be moved to Rolls Royce disambig, but this is a bit drastic for me.

Hi Moondyne. Thanks for looking, My interest is in early Rolls Royce motor cars. The entry is now Rolls Royce should moved to and merged with Rolls-Royce (disambiguation) at the moment it like having two disambiguation pages the first of which fails to list Rolls-Royce Limited clearly.

Laas Gaal Image

How can I give the right licensing of the image if it is protected from established and un-established users, as the image and the article are on the main page I cannot give the right information, you are an adminstrator, re-upload the image with right copyright which is The copyright holder allows their work for commercial and/or educational purposes. Furthermore, the article and image are on the main page and if you don't upload a new file it would be a dissapointment as the article on Laas Gaa'l needs an image for the readers to comprehend. I not like images myself or upload them as they are very confusing I just thought if I upload these images it may give the Somaliland articles a bit more Vibrance. Plus the images that you said are from websites that I copyrighted from are wrong because they were released into Public Domain if you check carefully. Trust me, I am not persuading to remove the Violation Template, I am just saying that if you remove the images without the re-uploading with right copyright, then the Somaliland articles would become less interesting for the world to read. Like the famous saying:

“ Images worth a 1000 words ”

Hi I@an, Do you know all the images that you put a copyright violation template well atcullay I got from that tourism website. if you check on the Photo Gallery, also I didn't get the Laas Gaal from the BBC Website because they dont allow pictures taken from that website you can not save it on your file if try to, I didn't want to tell you all this because I thought I would into further trouble, I do apologise for all the trouble I caused. Furthermore, Some unanimous users have been putting Copyright Violation Templates on the Laas Gaa'l article saying that I copied all the information from the BBC Website, I wrote all the information from my own knowledge and I used only one source from the website, I removed the template know also there have been some users who have vandalised the Cuisine of Somaliland page as well. It looks like every page I create someone vandalises. One of them wrote a racist comment on the article. Can you protect the two pages please so that only established users and adminstrators can edit it. Abdullah Geelah 14:34, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

If youre on @ 1.20

I think we have a problem at the Convention centre SatuSuro 05:21, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Looks like Longhair has the problem solved SatuSuro 05:36, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

BTW when an external thing uses Freo during the war - would you put it in a freo, wa history, or 2ww link - USS Sturgeon (SS-187) - curious what you would do if you came across it.SatuSuro 05:49, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Images

Thanks for helping Abdullah Geelah learn about the ins and outs of image licensing! I'm impressed by your patient explanations. I've noticed that he's removed copyvio tags from two images I tagged - Image:Haano.jpg and Image:Lahooh.jpg. I found sources for both of these, and they don't support the licenses that he has claimed for them. Details are at (big surprise) Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2006 August 26/Images. Could I ask you to explain this to him? I'm quite sure that you can do it in a much more friendly way than I could. Thanks, FreplySpang 12:43, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Looks good, thanks! And yes, I know what you mean... I think your deck had a couple more of those cards than mine. ;-) FreplySpang 14:36, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Image:Lahooh.jpg

I have checked the website in a different category and it said This photo is public look if you dont believe me [1] Abdullah Geelah 15:35, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Image:Lahooh.jpg and Image:Haano.jpg

Then can you just upload those two pics please with the right copyright. As soon as you do that I will stop uploading pics. Abdullah Geelah 15:44, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

OK!! I understand I will delete the imagesa and never upload another Image again! Abdullah Geelah 15:50, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

The PC i'm using doesn't work probably so I do apologise fro the spelling errors. I meant by deleting the images by deleting the removing them from the articles they are on. Abdullah Geelah 16:07, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Edit History

Can you restore my edit history on my userpage page please. Abdullah Geelah 17:23, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Because if he told about the personal information on my userpage I would deleted them myself and my edit history would have been intact now that my userpage has no personal information can you at least restore my userpage because when he deleted it my edit count went from 2000 to 1000 and now I would like to reach my 2000th edit on Wikipedia so please at least restore my userpage. I would not write anymore Personal Information on my userpage. Also, there have been an anonymous user putting copy violation tags on the Laas Gaa'l Image (which you uploaded with the right copyright) and the Laas Gaa'l article which 98% is genuine and I only used two sources from the World66 website but the rest is genuine. he keeps putting tags on them and an adminstrator and I keep taking it off and telling him that the Wikipedia allows you to use sources from other websites. Can you speak to him. Please Abdullah Geelah 11:25, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Welcome; I thought you might be happy to delete it. I see you've seen the light and changed your sig to point directly to your talk page. Good one; 99% of people who clicked on your sig would be looking to talk to you anyway. And as an added bonus, your user page's whatlinkshere will now start to become a list of where people are talking about you, rather than where you've been talking. Snottygobble 01:06, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
I check every now and then to see if I'm being talked about anywhere unexpected. It's how I found out that Jimididit was smearing me left right and centre, and it gave me early warning when Margana went to AMA with a view to RFCing me. Snottygobble 01:20, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

DYK! Blnguyen expanded it quite nicely. Cheers -- Samir धर्म 01:00, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

I picked up the "A-Z of Australian cricketers" for 20c yesterday from the cancelled books of my library. That should increase productivity for the historic cricketers, as the only way to do those bios is to use cricinfo statsguru to make an chronological account. I'll look at that attachment soon I hope. I also had to tweak the template as Samir's economisation removed the fact that he was the youngest Australian (rather vain of me, as we have protocol that you don't put your own stuff on the main page). I was also amazed that Brian Booth from the previous shift was un-expanded during the waiting period and then promoted anyway and left in the original stub state.....Blnguyen | rant-line 03:13, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Copyediting Benaud

Sure. I don't need an invitation for such things :-) Tintin (talk) 16:07, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

>> He ended his Test career 12 years later in Sydney with statistics of 248 wickets (the Test record at that time) at 27.03 and 2,201 runs at 24.45.

This line is out of place. "12 years later" is not in the right context.

>> Benaud's book My Spin on Cricket was published in 2005.

He has written a few more books [2]. I don't know which of these are famous and which are not. Tintin (talk) 06:11, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Why?

I sort've understand why you deleted Usernames That Would've Made The Blocked Users With Bizarre Usernames List. After all, it was just a "fun" page that doesn't necessarily enhance one's intellect. But did you at least read my rationale for keeping it? CreativeOne 23:18, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Self reversion on talk page

I noticed you reverted on the workshop talk page. Why'd you do that? Your post was a valid question. So far as I know, it's totally legitimate to do semi-automated edits, but apparently disagreement is rife as you point out. For obvious reasons clarity on this issue is important to me. --maru (talk) contribs 01:07, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't think it's off-topic, but very relevant. I'd appreciate its inclusion. --maru (talk) contribs 01:17, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Crempog

I don't understand why this article is still here. It's nothing! It's got no context. Okay, it's a food dish. It's important because...? It's notable why? One line and a link to a recipe does not make an article. All in all the article has no context so the tag should be returned.

my Ian Constable entry

Hi Ian, I did an entry on Professor Ian Constable today - but I can't figure out why the first letter of his surname won't show as a capital. Can you advise me where I'm going wrong? Davidcohen 06:48, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Long table

Its a pretty long table (over 500 cells) - and it comes out looking pretty mangled using the online tool, but thanks for the info, it should otherwise be useful.--Peta 01:51, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Table question

Do you know how
to format this table
to have vertical lines
between the columns but
not horizontal lines between
the rows? Snottygobble 00:52, 15 September 2006 (UTC)


Thanks for the response. I pulled the border-left out of the leftmost cells and up to the table level, since the left border of the leftmost cells is also the left border of the table. Also used "border-collapse:collapse" to join the border segments into contiguous lines.

I also discovered that the problem is solved in HTML / CSS by the use of <COL> / "{col: }". And Table (HTML) says "Wiki table doesn't support colgroup, col, thead, tfoot, tbody tags yet (June, 2006). So all appropriate individual cell, individually needs to have the border width CSS properties and values, for widening the cell borders for data grouping, and by doing so, code becomes longer, for a table with more items." Leaving aside the fact that this is poorly written and barely relevant to the article, it tells us that we're not going to get much better than what we've come up with.

WatchlistBot

The way the bot is set up right now, I can easily get all articles in tagged categories. Would you mind if I created a tag, tagged the categories, and then generated the list from that? It wouldn't be hard to modify it to work without tagging, but I'd have to think about it a little bit, and might not get to it as soon. Ingrid 18:24, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for help on horse article

Thanks for removing the spam links I didn't have the time to tweak when I was reverting the rest of the mess someone made of the horse article. (And why can't we get semi-protection on that article, it is constantly being vandalized!) While you are on spam patrol, can you also check the article American Paint Horse and make a determination if the link Lmocr keeps adding back in is a link farm or an appropriate reference? ( its http://www.dmoz.org/Sports/Equestrian/Breeds/Paint linking to Open Directory Project: Paint Horses) I think it's just a link to more links, and removed it once, but I don't want to get into an editing war over it. If .dmoz links (or yahoo links, or whatever) are appropriate in Wikipedia, I won't make a federal case out of it, but figured someone with more experience than I should look at it. And--remove it if needed--with appropriate admin type comment to those who need to know! Montanabw 19:02, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Curious...saw you cut all external links on that page. Wiki guidelines suggest some form of "External Links" section can be appropriate. What's your take (or can you direct to policy page) on what External Links are appropriate and which are not? My example: Would a link to the official horse breed registry in a breed article be appropriate for an external link for people who wanted to learn more? Montanabw 01:01, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

My apologies

I was under the assumption that since the article had been rated as mid-importance on the importance scale there was no reason to delete it. Klosterdev 12:55, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

September Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Barnstar Brigade
Here in Wikipedia there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go unappreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go unnoticed. As Esperanzians we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. This is where the Barnstar Brigade comes in. The object of this program is to seek out the people which deserve a Barnstar, and help them feel appreciated. With your help, we can recognize more dedicated editors!
What's New?
September elections are upon us! Anyone wishing to be a part of the Advisory Council may list themselves as a candidate from 18 September until 24 September, with the voting taking place from 25 September to 30 September. Those who wish to help with the election staff should also list themselves!
Appreciation Week, a program currently in development, now has its own subpage! Share your good ideas on how to make it awesome there!
The Esperanza front page has been redesigned! Many thanks to all who worked hard on it.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
  1. The proposals page has been updated, with some proposals being archived.
  2. Since the program in development Appretiaion week is getting lots of good ideas, it now has its own subpage.
  3. The September 2006 Council elections will open for nominations on 18 September 2006. The voting will run from 25 September 2006 until 30 September 2006. If you wish to be a candidate or a member of the elections staff, please list yourself!
  4. The new Esperanza front page design has but put up - many thanks to all who worked on it!
  5. TangoTango has written a script for a bot that will list new members of Esperanza, which will help those who welcome new Esperanzains greatly!

G'day

Flinders Bay had whaling - the beach where for a while the boats left from is just north of the old jetty site - not sure what the dates were there though or what the ref would be. Local naming of things has the beach where the whale watching boats leaving from was known as "the whaling". And of course tthe whale rescuing of the 1980s and 1990s happened justnorth of this - ie between the Flinders Bay jetty site and the mouth of the blackwood river.

KP

Thanks for the link, I had read the article before but was thinking/starting to expand KP into something useful and was wondering if the clock considered part of KP or not, but its lead says it is so work into the article. Gnangarra 23:42, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

KP I had a push and a poke around added some more stuff, still needs more work on Bali memorial and facilities including tennis club and play grounds. The resevior do you know anything the=at would make it worth a mention. Gnangarra 06:01, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Seen this?

From WP:USERNAME:

E-mail addresses: As of September 26, 2006, the Mediawiki software has been changed so the users may no longer register usernames with "@" in them. Previously, these usernames were discouraged. Preventing the usage of @ stops editors from receiving spam, reduces work for administrators and prevents hurt feelings due to being blocked, which may have led editors to simply leave in the past. Existing usernames with the sign are not blocked, but editors should be encouraged to change their names as the sign interferes with some Mediawiki functions.

I was just doing some research in here when I stumbled on the article on Fiona Wood and discovered a few obvious bits of vandalism, which I then removed. Being a Yank, I didn't know how controversial a figure Ms. Wood might be in her homeland, so I took a look at the page's history to see if vandalism was a common problem for her page and I noted your name under a "revert vandalism" from last year.

Author Oldham, Ray. Title George Temple-Poole : colonial architect of the golden years, 1885-1897. Published 1980. Subject Architects -- Western Australia -- Biography. Poole, George Temple, 1856-1934. Found in Early days (1970), Vol. 8, pt. 4 (1980), p. 127-128, 994.1 EAR .b11475407.

Which if you look carefully - Ray Oldham has used the hyphen, but the LISWA catalogue does not! I think there is a forest reserve with the name as well? If we end up with spoonerisms and or milliganisms as part of our talk pages, no one will understand thank god! SatuSuro 10:25, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

correction - apologies I had been thinking of the other double barrel poole - lane-poole re forest reserve, oops! SatuSuro 03:02, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

There is a later biography which I'll read before starting the article. --Fred.e 23:10, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Loveingsydney

I noticed you blocked Loveingsydney after he made a couple of pretty obvious sockpuppet edits. I just wanted to let you know about some other edits made by (someone who I allege is) the same person - I made an evidence page here and there appears to have been nothing done with the case. It was simply archived by Kilo-Lima with no further discussion and no reply to my queries.

Basically there are a whole set of IP's on the 60.225.*.* space that have similar edits, as well as a few usernames. This IP space also was the source of some of the licinius and nswelshman puppets. Their editing styles are all similar, with hypersensitivity to any mention of football that refers to soccer football rather than rugby league, aggressive edit summaries, plentiful references to 'trolls' and an inability to spell 'common'.

any tips on how to deal with it? Dibo | Talk | Contribs 02:46, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

cheers, i hate to look like a stalker but this 'complex' as he/she/it is apparently now known is annoying the hell out of me - a constant pattern of edit warring and abuse, and because it's barely ever the same username twice it makes vandal warnings and such near impossible to use with any effect.

Moondyne

I'm curious; what made you think Moondyne was a sock of Licinius? I hope he's not; that would be a waste of an outstanding username. Snottygobble 04:20, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Typo in Corymbia calophylla

Thanks for the correction, Moondyne. Does this thing have a spell checker? Cya. Callophylla 07:00, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Rail Map

A bit of hard work, and co-operation, I can think of other editors who have put stuff up for the rail articles of wa - and I suspect we can do the same. Just careful time and cooperation is needed! (and patience) SatuSuro 10:05, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

There are amongst my arts - a ref to an "australian rail routes" text, and geoff highams where was that? both have the info we need - and as for the timber lines, I reckon that adrian gunzburg's timber line book and its map needs a separate map - as well the timber lines (woodlines) in the goldfields probably a separate one as well . hope that gives you an idea that its all there SatuSuro 13:58, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Best of luck with the new one - trust it works well for you! SatuSuro 13:32, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for putting your request through again. I now have renamed you as User:Moondyne. You should now move your userpages to the new name. Warofdreams talk 18:13, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
I suppose when your not editing the residents of the Toodyay region will again need to hide their horses. Gnangarra 00:44, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Narrows Photo

Excellent! hope you got more like this - I was rushing past the Southern Spur diesels on Mount Henry bridge today and had my camera in the car - but I simply kept going! Drat SatuSuro 12:21, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh well I will try to dig up some gems to accompany - I was doing photos of plaques at Pumping Station 1 Mundaring Weir this morning - they still havent found anything at all about that missing walker yet - when I was speaking to the water authority ranger - not a thing SatuSuro 12:45, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Forrest Place - for a very long time there was a fruit and vege on the corner of FP and wellington street. Yes if you see gnangs linked photo for Fp in 1987 - the padbury bdgs are on the right of the disapearing boans SatuSuro 12:54, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Reply to EL Cleanup

I had added a link to cssmate[5] which is a free online CSS editor. It is intended to give people an easy and instant practical experience with CSS. Maybe you'll call me the first howling site owner but I partially disagree with your statement “there's no justification for lists of links to tutorials and tools in an encyclopedia”. I use an encyclopedia for a brief introduction to the topic and use the references and external links to acquire more detailed information. So I do expect links to tutorials and - especially in case of web technologies – to online tools where applicable. Compared to thousands of matches for “css tutorial” and “css tool” I get in search engines 60 commented links appear of value to me. As the “External links” section is the very last it doesn’t matter to much how long it is. As long as the content of the sites matches the description people can decide themselves to use them.
What do you think?

FYI this question was also posted to Talk:Cascading Style Sheets - I have posted a response there. --AbsolutDan (talk) 21:42, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you!

Thanks for the barnstar! It's nice to be recognised. — Saxifrage ✎ 05:45, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
