Again, welcome! Chris Roy 04:49, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Good. I'm logged in now. I wasn't when I received your welcome message, Chris. Thank you very much. I would also like to thank Brian (BCorr) who welcomed me back in March, and all the Wikipedians I have had the privilege and pleasure of working with since I came here in December 2003. I have read most of the above links at one time or another.

Please make sure your table syntax is correct. Dysprosia 09:19, 23 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Dysprosia, thank you for clearing up all my tables this evening.
I'm right as long as I copy the second line of Hypernovean's table (the one of Melbourne Suburbs), but I obviously didn't.
I don't know how to fix or make a table myself, at least not in the Wiki way.
--EuropracBHIT 09:32, 23 Apr 2004 (UTC)EuropracBHIT
- There is a new funky syntax - see this page. Tip: you can sign by typing ~~~~ which will include your user name automagically and you don't have to type "EurporacBHIT" afterward. For example, if I type ~~~~ it will come out as Dysprosia 09:35, 23 Apr 2004 (UTC)
~~~~
I'll try the new syntax in the sandbox. Or on my user page, whichever is the more convenient. The trouble is all these new symbols that I have to learn. Thanks for the Guide. I do expect to get a lot of practice.

Thanks for joining us on the WikiProject! It's really good to have another Melburnian around. However, you might want to read Wikipedia:Manual of style, which will show you how to format an article in wikiformat :) Ambivalenthysteria 05:13, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Very happy to be part of the WikiProject Melbourne.
- I have decided to keep a Microsoft Word version of the document that you refer to, to be consulted before all Wikipedia articles are contributed to by me (saves the white vanilla effect!).
- I wish more applications would support wikiformat, as much of it is counter-intuitive. Oh, it makes me shake my head sometimes!
- Thanks for the good edits on Swanston Street.
EuropracBHIT 05:50, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

- When adding those suburb articles, could you please bold the suburb name ('''suburb name''') and link "Local Government Area" to Local Government Areas of Victoria? Ambivalenthysteria 04:01, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
-
-
- Good enough. I'll do it for St. Andrews and any other suburbs I come across in the future. I didn't know about the second thing (linking the Local Government), though this comes as a result of my difficulties with the new table.
-
So, for example: Shire of Nillumbik? EuropracBHIT 04:11, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- No, Shire of Nillumbik should be linked to the article of the same name. The phrase "Local Government Area" should be linked to [[Local Government Areas of Victoria. I'd appreciate it if you could fix these up - they're only little things, but they're a pain to have to go back and do. Thanks in advance - Ambivalenthysteria 04:14, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
-
- Thanks - that's looking better. However, please only link the first occurrence of the suburb name. Ambivalenthysteria 04:18, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
-
- Oh, and one more thing - when you link "Victoria", can please you link it as [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]]? Thanks, Ambivalenthysteria 04:31, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
-
-
-
- Actually, all you need is [[Victoria (Australia)|]]. TPK 09:02, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- Have got myself into an 'edit conflict' now. I mean, 'edit coincidence'!

EuropracBHIT 04:33, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
With you articles on Melbourne suburbs, please do not link "To Northeast" "To South" etc. in the tables. They are flooding the Most Wanted Pages list. - SimonP 18:28, Jun 23, 2004 (UTC)
-
- Thank you, SimonP!
(So that was the problem with the 'useless tables' described in the "Edit History", as I had noticed with a few Yarra Ranges pages). I will spend some special time putting on Jerzy's new table (see the WikiProject Melbourne). The table was started on the 25th May. They were intended, of course, to be filled up with suburbs (or rather be placemakers for them!), but it is more trouble than we had intended. (Rather that Hypernovean intended, it was his/her idea to put them there; I applied the idea for suburb stubs). EuropracBHIT 02:36, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Can someone supply me with a few details on where I can find out more about WikiProject Melbourne? I made edits to suburbs around the City of Greater Dandenong and I hope I didn't break any style conventions. Mostly I filled in the suburb adjacency tables. I considered a suburb to be adjacent only if it physically touched the main suburb. This has meant that some tables finished up with less than 9 cells. See Noble Park for an example.
B.d.mills 07:06, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Yes, I remember you and your work on Greater Dandenong.
- I think most of the people who do WikiProject Melbourne do what you do.
- I am looking at Noble Park now, and it was great what you did with Keysborough-all looks fairly sensible and clever to me.
- But other suburbs, other times!
- Here is more information about the WikiProject: [[1]]

[edit] Naming convention for television articles
Hi. Seeing as you were once previously interested in a naming convention, I'd like to invite you to vote on adoption of Wikipedia:Naming conventions (television). Voting is taking place on the Talk page and ends on Sep 13 2004. -- Netoholic 23:24, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Australian Aboriginal art
You voted for Australian Aboriginal art, this week's Australian Collaboration of the week. Please come and help it become a featured-standard article. Thanks.
[edit] Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
- Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
- Multi-Licensing Guide
- Free the Rambot Articles Project
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
- Option 1
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)
- The Free the Rambot Articles Project page lists those users who have and have not multi-licensed. The list is a bit out of date because of the number of respondents on my talk page, but I will be updating it in the future, possibly moving it to a sub-page for easier reading. – Ram-Man (comment) (talk)[[]] 21:02, Dec 13, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Hale-Bopp
I didn't even know there was an edit conflict. :) It's fine, edit conflicts are a fact of life at Wikipedia and I don't think anyone ever takes it personally. Anyway, the article looks OK again, I used the Administrator rollback feature to fix the anonymous vandalism. Keep those eyes peeled! :) --Dante Alighieri | Talk 01:25, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia/Requests
Hi, thanks for your interest in the Spoken article project. I see that you've made a number of addtions to Wikipedia:WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia/Requests. That's a big help, as it is difficult to decide the best articles to in to which to invest the time needed to re-edit and record. May I ask how you happened to pick those articles? Do you have a personal interest in listening to them, or do you simply feel that they would be good articles to make available to others? Thanks, -Willmcw 23:55, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply. When I asked about whether you had a personal interest, I should have been clearer. I mean, do you personally want to listen to them, either due to an inability to read printed material (visual impairment) or due to an enjoyment in listening to spoken articles? Or are these articles that you think others would be interested in? The reason that I ask is that some articles don't seem to be logical choices for spoken articles. Simple diagrams can be explained fairly easily, but the diagrams in soda can stove, for example, are extensive and complicated. I'm left wondering why anyone would want to listen to that article if they could read it instead. I agree that some "core topics", like history articles, are obvious choices. Anyway, I'm not picking on you, I'm just trying to figure out who is interested in this project and how to address those interests best. Thanks for your contributions. Cheers, -Willmcw 03:38, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)
-
- You've made a good summary of how the Spoken Wikipedia project can be used. However, I don't know that the technology split of old computers is applicable. If a pre-1995 computer has trouble viewing Internet pages then I'm not sure how well it would handle OGG files. The good part there that I perceive is the ability to gain benefit from articles while away from a computer, possibly while doing some manual activity. The inappropriate article I was referring to is soda can stove, because it is far less useful without the diagrams and those diagrams would be difficult and tedious to describe. It is not as inappropriate as some requests, like Fuck or Longest word in English, which seem to be requested just for humor. (That said, apparently user:timwi is trying to complete the longest word article. And there's nothing wrong with humor either). Best wishes and thanks for your support of the project. Cheers, -Willmcw 22:16, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Making the ATO in Dandenong Smaller
Thanks. You don't need a licence to use any of my pictures. I have taken them myself. Yes, that is my picture of Frankston as well. If you would like to have a look at some of my other pictures, go to the Doncaster, Victoria, Mooroolbark, Ballarat,Tall buildings in Melbourne and Mount Dandenong pages. Enjoy!

I'm not sure where this information should go in the article. Perhaps you could insert it and we'll work from there. Thanks. Harro5 06:21, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Abeorch edits
Hi.
I'm not sure if I am doing this correctly so please forgive me if I'm not. I got your message and was not sure how to reply. Appreciate your advice. I have to admid that I had never used the buttons but just gone for the code.. With a variety of degrees of success. Yes you are correct my changes tend to have started from the RACV. Odd that. .. its pretty un-interesting.
[edit] Authors...
There are 13 items listed via:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=books&field-author-exact=Robert%20Dessaix
and 20 via
but both have a few that you might consider to be "repeats".
The ISBN I added to Dessaix's page because you can click on it, choose Amazon, which gets you to that book page and then click on the author's name, which is equivalent to the above URL.
If you did not want to list all of them, it is common to have a section entitled "Selected Books". I usually just include the title, year and ISBN, but the very brief descriptions you provided are helpful. An ISBN is not perfect because works published in Europe often have a different ISBN (different cover, maybe even a different title), but at least it leads one easily to a broad view of what the writer has published.

[edit] Henriett Seth-F.
Hello, thank you for mentioning this article. I wikified it and the data mentioned in it seem to be true, although I didn't check each piece of them individually. The interview is far too long for me to translate it -- sorry. Maybe there is some who will undertake it, see Wikipedia:Translation_into_English#Hungarian-to-English. If you're very much concerned about its trustworthiness, you can put these parts into comments <!-- like this --> (instead of deleting them), but to me the article seemed to be trustworthy.

[edit] City of Hobson's Bay
I see you have quite rightly reverted the nonsense added to this page. It was added last week and then reverted. It was then put back this week. I note that very similar nonsense has been added to other pages by the same person. Can the Melbourne Wiki Project ban this person? I live in Melbourne (indeed in Hobson's Bay) but I'm not in the Melbourne Wiki Project.Bduke 02:50, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Gday, I see you're interested in Rugby League, so I would like to invite you to the WikiProject Rugby League, which aims to make Wikipedia the world's foremost reference on rugby league in terms of both quantity and, most of all, quality. If you're intersted in helping out, feel free to join at any time, and drop a note on my user talk page at any time if you may have any questions. Cheers, mdmanser 06:01, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] cheers
No problem i live in the area and have a fair knowledge of past history and other random facts. yes the police paddocks are infact around here, i actually play softball at the softball grounds located just in them.
you have also updated some of the dandenong and surrounding suburbs pages i see, i know quite afew people who have lived in these areas many years and i might one day get around to entering some of the historic facts/storys ive heard over the years.
I mainly did the Darren Millane page beacause im in the process of creating a "Collingwood Legends" web site, i saw he wasnt on the site and just added abit of info ive found randomly on the net.
Anything else you wish to know/discuss just drop me an email as i check that more often then i do my messages on here:P the address is on my user page, cheers - dan --Dan027 09:04, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Apology accepted
Truth be told I wasn't too greatly bothered, but I'm really glad you took the time to visit my talk page. I did indeed learn from the experience, so I will look for further opportunities to take a more active stance in discussing policy in future. In any case, I gratefully accept and hope that I will see you around in further discussions. Jogloran 09:21, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Greenspan
The first idea is indeed an interesting book, and I suspect that this is because the two authors are not in the same field. Greenspan seems to have more experience as a child psychiatrist, whereas Shanker has more experience as a philosopher/psychologist who has taught chimpanzees to speak. The two seems to have found more common ground betweeen a child and bonobo than any I have seen before them.
The additional stages come after the first stages, so the authors are there talking about older children all the way thru life, and the last stage includes what most would consider "old age". They call stage 16 "wisdom of the ages".
My interest is an interest in anything regarding how thought works, and their views seemed to be 100% compatible with my views in the reviews, so I read it in august last year. My goal is to make my computer think for me, since I am too lazy to do this myself. Whether I succeed or not, it is a very interesting hobby.
There is a user with the user name Varga Mila who is studying apes, and she suggested Tomasello, so I read one of his last week. Pray tell, what is your interest in this area?DanielDemaret 07:53, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Hey EuropracBHIT
I am wondering if you would like to join WikiProject NBL. I believe that this is something that you might be able to help me with, by creating user boxes and player boxes for it or even adding articles about Players

[edit] AFL season article naming convention
As a participant of WikiProject AFL I thought you might be interested in this. I have started a vote to get a consensus on the naming convention for AFL season articles.

Yes, that's me. I was actually scraping the RAD article for a new adoption wiki an online friend has started, [Three Families. Come by and take a look ... so far it's just me and her (and we're both admins, so we need someone to have a block war over (Just kidding!)).

[edit] May 25 2006: Greece vs Australia friendly
Hi Bronywn, Judging from the lack of response at the last meetup when the Comm Games was mentioned it would appear that sport, or was it just the Comm Games, was of little interest. Not sure about the Australia v. Greece match. Maybe you could put up the suggestion and see what response you get. I think a BBQ later in the year might be a better option for a social get together. - Cuddy Wifter 03:36, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Footy Club
Hi, I am trying to introduce a club for rugby league supporters that will be more than just a wikiproject and help to encourage rugby league participation and article improvement. I have written down some of my thoughts about what wikileaguies should attempt to do and would be interested if you, like other rugby league supporters, would be willing to be involved on some level.

[edit] Melbourne meetup
Greetings, person who is listed as being interested in future meetups in Melbourne. The fourth meetup will be held on 18 December, at Lower House in Fed Square (in the Alfred Deaking building, Flinders Street end near the Atrium: map), starting from 7pm. We don't currently have a separate location for discussion beforehand, but there'll be plenty of time to talk wiki over dinner. --bainer (talk) 14:53, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fifth Melbourne meetup
The fifth meetup of Melbourne Wikipedians is being planned as a breakfast meeting in the city with Jimbo Wales (at a venue to be arranged) on Friday, 27 April 2007.
Jimbo has proposed breakfast as the one real window of opportunity during his tightly scheduled stay in Melbourne. Tbe precise time has to be sorted out with Jimbo, but the arrangements for the equivalent Adelaide meetup a few days before may give a good idea.
Feel free to edit the relevant page in any way that might be helpful. I feel like a bit of an interloper, not having attended previous meetups. If there's anything you can do to help, I'll be grateful. Please think about whether you'll be able to make it, assuming the arrangements are similar to those Adelaide is adopting (i.e. a block of time with people being fairly free to arrive when it suits them). Some indication on the page of your possible participation would be really helpful. Metamagician3000 06:16, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
