Esperanza congratulates you on a first edit anniversary!!

On behalf of everyone at Esperanza, I hope you have a great day, and I wish you the best of luck for the future! Have a great first edit anniversary, and I hope to see you around for many more years to come! - Jam 01 02:19, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry

Hey Moondyne (formerly known as I@n). I'm Just James (the jerk that called you a moron a couple of months ago). I had just been going through the list of my wiki contributions when I suddenly remembered that incident regarding Carnac Island. I was a jerk and I'm sorry. I should have checked my source of information before writing something incorrect and I should have listened to someone who obviously knows more about Western Australia than I do. Anyway, take care.--Just James 16:03, 28 October 2006

Montebello

What are you like with columns and reducing type size, I think I might need help... please? I realise you might think the list is unnecessary, but I came across my list from geographic names cards, and plan to put in coords later and possibly do links to the big list from hesp. trying to wean off the lurking in northern isles by getting back to healthy list making :) SatuSuro 03:25, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Wow! Thank you! Its great - I have no problem with it at all - I was going to suggest smaller type - but its looks fine - and the sat photo is brilliant! Whew! I think I should stay away from the Java debates (sigh) and stay with the geography of wa anytime! It looks great! Thanks again! 12:48, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

If you are on at the moment - 220.245.195.133, and 69.217.57.44 are single edit persons looking suspicious to me - or maybe they are persons on who have slippedout while editing, thought I'd mention it SatuSuro 14:32, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

WatchlistBot

I was waiting for a reply from you to User_talk:Moondyne/archive_4#WatchlistBot. Perhaps you didn't notice it. I'm not very active on wikipedia these days, but if you tag the relevant categories, the bot can easily generate a list of all articles in those categories. The bot can also be used to tag categories (if you could give me a top-level category, it would tag all subcategories, with my help to make sure they're all relevant), but I'm not sure when I'd get around to it. Ingrid 18:00, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm trying to get the categories tagged for you. I've got the bot set up to put the list at Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket/Watchlist. It's there, but there's not much on it yet because the categories aren't tagged yet. Going through them, I noticed Category:Minor counties which seems to be a cricket-related category, but the name doesn't indicate that. Ingrid 22:53, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I got some of the categories tagged, and realized I have a bug in my program. So, there is a watchlist now, but it's far from complete. I'll be working on it (possibly on and off, although I do tend to get caught up when I have a problem to solve), and will let you know whne it's complete. Ingrid 15:52, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Turned out to be an easy fix. I've gotten all of the categories tagged, and the watchlist created. The bot can either do it by categories or by tagged pages, so it's only the ones in tagged categories. It probably wouldn't take much to modify it, but I don't think I'll get around to it for awhile. If there are some others you'd like to include, you can always make a special category and put their talk pages into it. If that doesn't make sense, let me know and I'll try to be more clear. So, now it's in my rotation, and will get updated whenever I run the bot (usually about once a week, but it varies a lot depending on my schedule). Ingrid 02:17, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Glenn Trimble

Hello Ian. How are you? I expanded this article which you created, and you seem to have deduced that he replaced Greg Ritchie temporarily. It appears that in his first match Ritchie also played, and then in the second Ritchie did not, so Trimble must have replaced someone else. In any case, I was wondering if my editing style seems too dry. I am always worried about NPOV so I have a very dry editing style, apart from quoting Wisden sometimes, I never use anything more emotive than "strong" or "disappointing" or sometimes just pump out statistics - you can see Wikipedia:Peer review/Virender Sehwag/archive1 reads like a block of concrete whilst Jack Ryder (cricket) or Narendra Hirwani uses more colourful language. What do you think? I'm also trying to fatten up Thorpey for FA hopefully. Also I noticed your comments about the stubmaker star - let's just say that we Australian editors seem to have high standards to ourselves...I can think of a few people who have created less than 10 stubs and have 10+ barnstars...I'm going to put this 20cents copy of A-Z of Australian cricketers to good use .Blnguyen (bananabucket) 07:36, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

SEO

I like your suggestion to move all the SEO consultants to a separate list or category that we can reference. I do want to have a list somewhere so we can keep track of them and find them easily. Call it something like Search Engine Optimization Experts or Consultants. Jehochman (^Talk/_Contrib) 17:21, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

November Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!)
Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach. Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.
What's New?
The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one!
A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log)
The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived. There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia. The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested! In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias. A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted! Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello.
Signed...
Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, The Halo, Shreshth91 and HighwayCello 20:33, 1 November 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.

My mum was good mates with one of the daughters - excellent work! SatuSuro 15:21, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Barbara was mums friend, I cannot remember talk of the siblings. When I eventually return the HW Bennets DAB to my sandbox I think I'd like you to give it the once over - he's the Beverley sheep poison government vet (father's good mate for decades) who worked with CW Gardner - to sort out the gastrolobum problem with stock. Being draggedd back into the indonesian stuff again - will I ever learn? SatuSuro 02:27, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

This really should be offline - she's in an aged care facility not far ffrom here, the last time I talked to her she was very frail but in good mental clarity - - I have never talked to her about the family...will send an email later about all this. I do have the books about/by if that's any help . BTW rica ericson - same gang of parents friends from way back then is apparently very frail (or even close to moving on) as well ffrom a contact at RWAHS - I still owe you lunch!!! My talk count on wikipedia is about to eclipse article work the way things are going, I still have too many irons in a small pot! Aaargh! Cheers! SatuSuro 02:44, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Cripes flaggelation time! With the Pinjarra article I realised that McKenzie is an important son of the locality as well - but I'm loath to redlink it or starrt an art on him as I have everything that is possible to get on him (even a copy of the MA from Melbourne U that DH had borrowed and never returned) - probably chirstmas holidays if someone else hasnt done anything - he was a fellow old G'n. I think its going to have to be lunch again soon! SatuSuro 02:52, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Re Barb and Rica -both very good people and they have had good innings - they're getting to the age when my mother went - they dont make them like that anymore! SatuSuro 03:10, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

BTW the current Kalbarri ed - I think dont jump the newbies? or perhaps something else? SatuSuro 02:54, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Fixed. — Moondyne 03:10, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

After all this - I have hauled a heap of junk into my sandbox - to remind myself of how scattered things are - there's a bennetts and le souef stub at least in there amongst the rubbish.... SatuSuro 03:14, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Naming conventions for Perth suburbs/LGAs etc

Hi, it was suggested that given your extent of contribution to this area, that your attention be brought to a discussion about this subject - GordonE and myself appear to disagree on this issue and given we're both editing articles, it's clearly something that needs resolving. The present discussion is at User talk:GordonE under "Suburb / Locality / LGA". Previously, it kept popping up in places like Victoria Park and Stirling, so I decided to try and resolve the core issue in userspace. I won't offer an opinion here as my views on the pages concerned are clearly expressed. Orderinchaos78 ^(t|c) 16:51, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Unilateral removal of the history section in ABC article

Hi Moondyne

We have an unpleasant situation about to develop over this action by one "cyberjunkie" ("cj"), who decided all of a sudden that he'd move the entire History section of the ABC article to a new daughter article, without replacing it with a summary. The history section was almost entirely written more than a year ago.

Since this action on 12 September, the section has languished with no text at all under its title, save a link to the daughter article.The action has, in effect, gutted the article, leaving what appear to be insubstantial fragments without a core. It's must be odd to the newcomer to be denied a summary of the history and to move straight onto a chunky section on "funding and relationship with government" without knowing where how the institution arose.

Now, it's not that I disagree with him that the History section was written in greater detail than you'd normally expect in summary style. (A related issue is that the rest of the article may need to be fleshed out in the opposite direction to achieve satisfactory summary coverage of the topic—perhaps the optimal balance needs to be debated on the talk page.) What I do object to is

(1) his failure to raise the matter on the talk page beforehand, and
(2) provide replacement text with the summary style that he's using as his stated rationale for the removal.

The edit comment for the removal was "split (will summarise later)", whereas I'd have been pleased to see a summary written before the removal, for immediate replacement.

I've raised the matter on the talk page, and Cyberjunkie has responded negatively:

I think a total blank is worse than a long history. Please create a summary soon. Your action has resulted in damage to the overall article, IMV. Tony 11:16, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Whereas, I disagree. --cj | talk 12:41, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

I can see that this is getting nowhere. I wonder whether you agree that he should either undertake to write a summary section in the near future (I suggest three or four paragraphs) or reinstate the text and raise the issue on the talk page.

I'd appreciate knowing your opinion. The ABC's talk page is here. Tony 13:55, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Cripes/Flinders Bay Railway

If we could only get a good map of the railway and hinterland - that'd be a good way 'into' the groupie areas SatuSuro 10:26, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Very close to it. I noticed no railway line between buss and august. Wow I suspect you have been busy - the groupie maps need to be 2 imho - the buss to aguss, and the nnup & over there as another - as the settlements were all so close/ detaail is needed? SatuSuro 15:17, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

MAYBE i should be saying crikey ratther than cripes. Probably if your are prepared to go down the fiddly line - you could track down a copy of gunzburg and throw in the timber lines too :) SatuSuro 15:36, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Have emailed the frontispiece map from gabbedy volume 1 - hope you got it ok - kept the volume down as its just a b&w SatuSuro 12:50, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Here's the rub its in:

Gabbedy, J. P. (John Philip), 1906- Title Group settlement / by J.P. Gabbedy. Published Nedlands, W.A : University of Western Australia Press, 1988. 0855642904 (set) 085564284X (v.1) He's deceased - but I suspect from the cartography and the form of writing on place names that the actual image was appropriated from a govt publication promoting the whole thing actually in the 1930's. Although all other images in the List of Plates and Figures are attributed - this one wasnt in any way. In acknowledgements there are clues that he had a lot do with old staff at Lands and Surveys so I reckon they had found it in a report. Could be difficult to identiffy - or very simple I dont know. I would suggest a careful re-rendering of your copy to alleviate the issue. Also I found a black blob off hamelin bay which might have accidently been scanned into the image - it was possibly part of someone elses breakfast (!)

Trust you have kept clear of the IA events. SatuSuro 02:26, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

My photos of English cricket team

Hello Monkeyman, I see you've been busy. Those photos are amazingly difficult to take aren't they. I do like your Terry Jenner shot. It makes you appreciate prof photographers who manage to get a classy shot seemingly with ease - I wonder what the secret is? When they come over my way in a couple of weeks, I intend to have a go myself. Cheers. — Moondyne 01:36, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Ah, well it's not so easy for those guys either. They were taking multiple shots and then muttering expletives when they didn't work out as they planned either.....The problem is that the bowling nets are protected by a metal wire fence and then another cloth fence. You can poke the lens past the metal fence, but you'll still get the black fuzz of the cloth fence about 1m in front. I used a digital camera with a maximum aperture f=5.6, whereas for the proper family camera, you can get 1.6 - (small f number -> large aperture) and the pros probably have an even larger aperture. Then with a larger aperture, the field of view is smaller, so you the length at which the object is focussed is smaller....that's why the pros can take a picture through the netting and it only looks like a grey cloud. Of course, if I used the family camera, I could have gotten a better pic, but I don't think my parents would be happy, as the "success rate" would probably decrease from about 1/8 for these "pseudo-amateurish" digital snaps to maybe 1/20 for the manual film which requires more discretionary skill......and likely triple figure bills for a few photos. The ones which turned out OK, of Cook, Read and Jones practicing catching were only because there was no netting in the way....and the same goes for the photos of Jenner, Aggers, CMJ and Graham Cornes and Roger Wills (don't have an article for him yet). Most of the journos and pundits were rather bewildered when I took photos of them....And judging by the way Pietersen was training against Panesar, I'm guessing he has a few big hits in mind this summer, as well as attempting reverse-sweep sixes like he did against Murali. England were batting for 2 hours but the Redbacks only trained for 30 minutes so I could only get Cosgrove and not Cullen, Tait, Lehmann and Gillespie...perhaps that explains why they never win anything....Blnguyen (bananabucket) 02:13, 17 November 2006 (UTC

Re Rumours

Hey Ian, thanks for your message. I nearly offered Gn a co-nom, but I hesitated because I noticed a few days ago people on talk:RFA complaining about RfAs with lots of co-noms and some people saying they hold it against the candidate (here). I would hate for that to happen. You don't think it would be too many if I were to add one, too? Maybe I should offer a co-nom and leave it completely up to Gn to add or not.

The RfA thing varies a lot. Some times there are only a few running and other times there's a lot, but I don't remember seeing as many as you did, so that was probably just a freak day.

Australian Dictionary of Biography pics

Hello Ian. I was googling up for pics of Australian Olympic medalists in Swimming since it is now on FLC and only needs pics and a few sentences about notable performances. I found pics of a few swimmers, which are aged > 50 years, which are theoretically PD-Aus. However, the pic info says that they stilll own the rights to the photo. So are these pics allowed. Those were the ADB pics of Clare Dennis and Frank Beaurepaire respecetively. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 23:58, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

I looked up Boy Charlton on ADB and saw that it uses the same pic that you uploaded to commons, with the "Reproduction rights owned by the National Archives of Australia"- so PD covers the NAA? Blnguyen (bananabucket) 01:19, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello Moondyne. While we're on the topic of featured material, could I please ask you for a pair of eyes on the Thorpey FAC.

Chaney

I am pretty sure it was the father SatuSuro 15:48, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

I hope you dont mind but I think I can give an answer, That is if i understood the question correctly.

Deputy President of the Australian Native Titles Tribunal and co-chairman of Reconciliation Australia, Fred Chaney was fathered by Sir Fred Chaney, a senior minister in the Menzies government. His brother is Michael Chaney, former chief executive of Wesfarmers and chairman of the National Australia Bank.[2]

I hope that answers you question Moondyne,

Pushed the history back to the top of the art - tried adding some links - I am trying to remember the full am dial from the 1960's - I'll have to check what happened to the ones that disappeared! SatuSuro 15:28, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Ok I remember -6WF -6WN - 6PR (with 6TZ and 6CI) - 6IX - 6KY - so the one that dissapeared with change was 6KY.

6MD was joined up with one of the others, and I think the Geraldton and Albany ones weren't linked up with the metro stations - not so sure about Bunbury though. A lot of older radios had the stations printed on the dial covers SatuSuro 03:45, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Radio National is transmitted through the old call sign/frequency of 6WN. The thing about all this is that Murray Jennings, the Cranfields (Zenith) and others all have memories of 6IX in Perth in the 1960's - someone needs to download their memories as old radio persons dont simply stay that way (viz frank zappa and jazz - is jazz dead - no it only smells that way) they do pass on to the radio station in the sky.

Beeloo pop in 1837

(Re: Bentley) Very good point you make. I got it from a single source in the Battye Library (Geoff Gallop's book on Vic Park suburbs), and I've seen a similarly ridiculously low count for the northern suburbs Mooro people (Geoffrey Bolton makes a mention of it in his Claremont book while at the same time saying Jane Currie's contemporaneous diary quoting 40 on Matilda Bay alone contradicts it). Will definitely look into this tomorrow as it seems blatantly silly to have unanswered points on there. Orderinchaos78 11:20, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

My guess is that it probably *is* wrong but more an indication of the failure of whatever census methods they had for Aboriginals in 1837 than anything else. :) Orderinchaos78 12:42, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Geoplaces

On a hunch, I checked Onslow and Toodyay, and found double entries in both cases. The original townsite of Onslow was repeatedly flooded during cyclones, and in 1925 it was flooded so badly that they up and moved the town away from the river. The original site of Toodyay also was prone to flooding, and in 1860 was relocated to higher ground.

Therefore I propose that one of the causes of a double entry of the same town name at proximate locations, is a town relocating at some point, leaving us with a LOCB for the town, and a LOCB for the unoccupied former townsite.

Blocking of 194.83.84.15

Hi Moondyne!

I believe on Friday, you blocked 194.83.84.15 from editing Wikipedia after repeated vandalism. Okay this is a fair point after looking at the contributions, but is a 7-day block on a proxy server IP address really compulsory? The IP address belongs to Yale College, Wrexham, which currently posesses over 2500 machines using the server, with many thousands of users (plus hundreds of staff) - is it really fair to the non-vandalising community? Okay looking at the contributions there seems to be a lot of vandalism, but I know of many users who contribute to Wikipedia at college and mainly edit pages on local things. I believe a similar thing happens with AOL users and their IP addresses, but there are measures there to prevent innocent users recieving irrelevant treatment - so why does this static IP serving so many users get blocked for seven days?

Excuse me if I sounded patronising insulting or anything, but I would like to know why such a long duration ban? However, I fully understand your reason for blocking and I am not suggesting for the IP to be unblocked. Best wishes Marbles333 18:53, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to say, I traced how you found Jacobson and discovered that you had deleted a definition for CWA, it is REAL.

Place redirects

Babbage island appears in the Gazetteer as both an island and a LOCB (towns and localities). If there really is a town named Babbage Island worth writing about, separately from the island, then it should be at Babbage Island, Western Australia. There might not be though; I generated this list by querying the Gazetteer for WA LOCBs and dumping them out in Wiki table format. As I said in the header "I also believe that it contains some spurious entries that are not cities, towns and suburbs. The presence of a name in this list therefore does not imply that it is a city, town or suburb." Hesperian 13:45, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Ship transport

I've just realised why there is such a dearth of maritime history on wikipedia - this parent article and the subsequent category and subcategories have relegated maritime history as part of this tree/heirarchy. Wow - that's a lot of very weird articles/headings to chase - and I'd thought history was the parent category - well well, and some one has even had the thickness to call it ship transport instead of water transport - I think the primary school editors have been onto this one sometime....SatuSuro 01:27, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Then trawling the categories in the line of thinking - there are heaps of categories with no parent/main articles. So its an intricate loop of water transport by country - with no articles - but more categories. Gawd. I think I might go do some gardening. SatuSuro 01:36, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Spelling

Srry,

I thought that the standard language would be in Americal English.

Sorry, another note - just noticed your changes to the Aquinas College, Perth article, ill leave it not protected, i dont care anymore. But, the box about it not citing reliable sources - i tend to disagree - the college website and diary provided alot of the information for the history, edmund rice and christian brothers, college uniform, ground and sporting facilties, aquinas song, college houses, junior middle and senior school, boarding, sporting tours, old aquinians assocation, service learning and various others, whilst the college intranet (as a student i have access to it) gave information on college leadership, coat of arms, aquinas song, buildings and infrastructure, college houses. The college annuals provided information on sports, publications, production, tours and notable alumni. And are these official college publications / sources going to lie about the school? the clear answer is NO. I know this article is all correct, i have used correct sources and know much of the information myself. Before placing tags on articles, possibly leave it open for debate on te talk page, or be a little more insightful and THINK about what you are doing.

As my final note: If you do not think i am telling the truth on the information, i will take screenshots of the information, scan it, whatever. to prove the information is correct. I know it is correct, anyone who has anything to do with the school knows it is correct. But what else can i do to reference this article, make it upto "your standard". To be honest, (sorry if im a bit harsh) im sick to death of people who know nothing about this article trying to make random changes to add to their editing statistics on wikipedia, and it appears you know little about the subject in question (forgive me if i am wrong). Once again, apologies for harshness but i am frustrated with wikipedians. Ask other uses such as AC Boy or Symode09, steudents of the college, they will tell you that it is all correct, although you have good intentions, you just dont seem to acknowledge the problem.

Well almost - thanks for the cleanup of the project page, but I am not so sure about the appelation you gave me - I think I need to see what wikipedia has on honorifics and appelations.... SatuSuro 11:52, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

The reason for having the sections on the orgs - was to expand to a couple of sentencces to explain the rlevance to australian maritime history - I'm not complaining - just letting you know the original logic.... SatuSuro 13:29, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Better as it is - the level of diversions is high - I might never get to writing the bits - and as it is the page is looking excellent - I am very impressed by the koombana and tryal arts for starts - just exactly what a project like this needs - I'm a bit concerned about that list of already done arts - maybe it should be a sub-page? SatuSuro 13:38, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Thing is could strart trawling exisitn articles and giving them the aust maritime cat on talk pages? that would be quite a few, the sep page might be opnly way to go.. SatuSuro 13:45, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Maybe after the thought/ etc something on the amh talk page about this? SatuSuro 13:53, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Totally off subject/line of thought - can tell holidays have started - welcome message on red link talk pages are about 2 every 12 hours for my watch list :) at least they are not being banned for vndlsm within 48 hrs after the welcome :) SatuSuro 13:57, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Perth/Hobart parallel

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Hobart#The_four_Hobarts - I think is direcctly relevant to Perth - what do you think? SatuSuro 02:41, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Cripes - I go offline for a few hours into midland - and Barrow Island is so much better up there! excellent SatuSuro 07:29, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Well down the ladder I just got an unexpected DYK, apart from the edit count... cripes I dont think I'll ever catch up to you (or bananab...) on either count unless I tag michael's indonesian place names individually (bit like a bot with deranged topophillia) SatuSuro 02:20, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

"Coral"?!

A good source, except for the brain explosion where someone decided these reefs were coral. Hesperian 01:55, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Enjoy!

Crikit - dont forget the sunscreen! SatuSuro 02:29, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Perth Photo Wish List

Hi I created this to keep me occupied instead of just reading books while I wait please add anything you want to the list Gnangarra 13:48, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Dawesville may be a stretch, but hey they may go to mandurah, Ive already been to byford. I thought you'd give me something challenging like alkimos wreck with bus on the beach for size comparison 8) Gnangarra 14:17, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

The brewery and lights(inc way79 logo) theres some in my fathers photos collection which I'll be able to post in the coming months, also narrows at around opening(no parklands all just sand) and perth from Mt Lawlay train station walkway in the 1950s, building of the ord dam in the 60's albany whaling station working, you drooling yet. Just grab SatuSuro attention some of MT Magnet, Austin, Cue train stations with the line still there, all are colour slides so gotta organise scanning etc. All up theres about 10,000 colour slides taken all round WA between mid 50's to mid 80's. Gnangarra 14:34, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah I know about that but thought I'd focus some attention on images and have some fun. Like your request for the document, its not just places that may be possible. Gnangarra 14:37, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Interesting I was thinking that way, but he's planning on getting a scanner and doing the lot himself and including as much information about the subject as memory permits in the image summary. I'm stuck with his time table but its going to be worth the wait. His image is the completed bridge similar location though more to the left of screen as it has the northern approaches. Gnangarra 14:54, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

So why havent you added that to Swan River (Western Australia) and the Perth, Western Australia articles. nope somewhere in betweeen Gnangarra 15:07, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I've come to this conversation a bit late (what was I doing?) I have an expensive scanner that scans slides and negs very well. (my list is approx 25,000 images from everything including java fieldwork, and other things) you guys are welcome to a fortnightly/three weekly session of scanning an experimenting with my scanner if you like - cups of coffee and tea provided... :) SatuSuro 23:59, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Wikiproject Automobiles Notification

Hi Moondyne, you were on the list of members at WikiProject Automobiles and we are introducing a new way of listing members, as the old list was becoming too long. Our new method involves having all of our members in a category.

To add yourself to the category just add the userbox to your user page by putting {{Wiki Auto Project}} where you want the userbox. Alternatively if you don't like the userbox you can add [[Category:WikiProject Automobiles members|Moondyne]] to your userpage.

If you no longer wish to be a member of the project, simply don't add the userbox or category, there's no pressure. Thanks for your time, James086^{Talk | Contribs} 04:12, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Hope you think it is a good idea. No content until enough members for consensus. Please bring your good ideas and exp. Fred.e 08:22, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Muralitharan article

Just after a bit of help. I have deleted a reference to a BBC article in Murali's article because it claimed that he had recieved an award as the greatest bowler of all time, however Wisden (the supposed awaders of said award) do not acknowledge this. I think the BBC article is a case of poor journalism. Can you please advise me as to whether my actions were correct. Cragialist 11:45, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Enjoy

Enjoy your break, Gnangarra 15:08, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Development of Australian honours system - Orders, Medals, and Decorations WikiProject

Hello there. I've just noticed that on 9th Nov. you wrote on the WP Numismatics talk page:

Hello numismaticists, how do you all feel about the prospect of another project specifically focussing on the Australian honours system - would that step on anyones toes here? I posted a request for expressions of interest here.

You might possibly be interested to learn that a WikiProject has recently been started up to address this area - WP:ODM. You would probably find this a receptive audience - I'd certainly be interested in helping improve the coverage of Australian awards.

Best wishes, Xdamr^talk 03:36, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
