For your amazing work with Carlingford, New South Wales, I hereby award you a barnstar award for excellent research and wikiwriting. I'm proud of you! Keep up the good work. - Ta bu shi da yu 14:46, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC) (founder of Wikiproject Sydney and the Suburbs subpage)

This user is now able to contribute only infrequently to Wikipedia. I'm spending too much time in that building to the left, amongst other things. =)

G'day, my name is Kieren, and I hail from Sydney, NSW in Australia. I've been contributing to Wikipedia since January 2004... Oh, and I reckon it should be spelt "Wikipaedia". =)
