[edit] Looks like Licinius is back

Hi Snotty, have a squiz at User:Mr nice guy's edits/posts at Football and Talk:Football. Tragically familiar. Is there anyway we can get rid of this bozo without the rigamarole we went through last time? Grant65 | Talk 13:05, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Many thanks. Grant65 | Talk 10:14, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sirengate

Good work on starting the article. I'm not really sure about the title though, I've never heard of it referred to as Sirengate but I guess it'll have to do for now. I'll add some more details soon. Cheers, Rogerthat ^Talk 03:21, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

I've aired my thoughts on the discussion page of the article. Rogerthat ^Talk 03:30, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jim Maxwell (commentator)

/Temp article now deleted; sorry I@n, I didn't notice your comment until after I rewrote the article. Hesperian 01:21, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Haha. That's quite OK. But should we remove the AFD template from the article? Someone arriving there now may think the current version is up for deletion. Seing you're the promoter, you should probably do it. (although it's not really promoted, as the AFD is still open - I'm unsure of protocol here). Suggest: be bold! -- I@n ≡ talk 05:36, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello. Is there a way to clarify the decision behind the keep? Considering that the content which is being kept is not the same as the entry I nominated, it is important that this distinction be made. Folajimi 12:25, 3 May 2006 (UTC)^talk

[edit] Australian rules football in Canada.

sorry that was a mistake Betacommand 02:45, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Top Fourteen

This was not a repost of the deleted article, it was a re-written article that addressed the concerns for which the first one was nominated. --Cheapestcostavoider 05:24, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

The first article was nominated as a "neologism" because the only source was a blog, whereas this article cited over half a dozen reliable sources. I think it's pretty clearly not the same article. --Cheapestcostavoider 05:38, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jazzper

Would you agree that it is appropriate to formally institute a community (ie, us) ban against Doobi18/Jazzper? It is essentially that already, but not nominally so - he remains "blocked".--cj | talk 07:57, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind. He is banned and there is consensus for it. I was confused with the terminology.--cj | talk 08:03, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Editcountitis is fatal

What the? Firstly my edits are 665 ([1]) + 9219 ([2]) = 9884. So your wrong! Where are you looking? And why doesn't Kate tool or Interiot's tool show my totals combined? Any ideas? -- I@n ≡ talk 03:30, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

You're right again Mr. 9088 - Thanks. -- I@n ≡ talk 03:42, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Accounts

No, I'm not either of those users. It wouldn't make very much sense for me to AfD an article, argue vehemently against my own nomination and then re-write it. --Cheapestcostavoider 02:19, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re Robert Palin

Your move of Robert Palin to Robert Thomas Palin was contrary to accepted practice...

Gosh. Sorry about that; thanks for the pointer and reversion. Best wishes, David Kernow 02:12, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] John Howard

In context it doesn't make much difference. But backbenchers are in government. They aren't in the cabinet, or the ministry. But they are in government. Just as labor backbenchers are not in the shadow ministry, but they are part of the opposition.

I have consulted a number of sources, and I'm certain you're wrong. Legally, the government is the governor-general and his executive council. By convention, the government is the cabinet. Either way, backbenchers are by definition not in government. Hesperian 08:59, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

OK, so take away the backbenchers. Would the cabinet still be in government? Alan Baskin 10:22, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

No. What's your point? By that argument half the electors would be in government too. Hesperian 11:47, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

No. My point is that the cabinet, plus the outer ministry, plus government backbenchers make up the "government", as Australians know it. Of course, given that we're still a constitutional monarchy, the Queen (or her governor general) are the only ones who can sign anything into law. But to argue that "government" backbenchers are not part of the government is absurd. Anyway, in the case of your edit of the John Howard article, I agree "party" is a more appropriate word than "government", so maybe we should let it rest there. Alan Baskin 03:50, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Honorifics

Hi, please have a look at Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)#Campaign_to_force_the_use_of_honorifics. Thanks Arniep 11:40, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wittenoom

I saw your edits to Wittenoom, Western Australia, and thought I'd blue the red link to Edward Wittenoom. Also did Charles Wittenoom, and turned Wittenoom into a disambig. In the process I discovered that Frank was Edward's brother, not his son, so made a correction to the town article. If you're planning on writing Frank Wittenoom, there's some decent info here, and I can tell you his full name was Frederick Francis Burdett Wittenoom. Hesperian 00:44, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Have you ever seen Frank's memoirs? [3]? -- I@n ≡ talk 01:14, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

BTW, I made Wittenoom Gorge, Western Australia a redirect to Wittenoom, Western Australia as the two are inextricably linked. Was this the right thing to do? -- I@n ≡ talk 01:19, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Until someone decides to write an article on the Gorge. Have you ever been there? Hesperian 03:14, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, when I was about 5 :) -- I@n ≡ talk 03:29, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] toodyay.tv

Hi Hesperian. I recently had a bore hole drilled near Toodyay and the diviner used Hesperian trees to line up with where he said the water stream was as he said they always are above a deep water source.

I am writing this however, because you removed the Toodyay Community forum (toodyay.tv)link. Its not commercial. However toodyay.com is purely commercial and it is still there. The www.toodyay.tv site is a new community forum and in a town as small as Toodyay, for it to have over 1000 hits per day it means it is of interest to toodyay people. With no advertising its now being visited by people from the UK and South Africa even. Its not a personal website. Politics, historic, strategy historical policy drafts etc are discussed, downloadable etc. Its just started but already is a a valuable resource on Toodyay and will grow in the months ahead.

[edit] Michael Kamins

Most odd behaviour - thanks -- I@n ≡ talk 02:16, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good call

Good call on User:190_Proof; I was tracking sockpuppets of banned user Enviroknot, and was just heading over to tag and block that one when I saw you had already done it. I think it may well be time to make a WP:ABUSE complaint to the University of Houston. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 04:30, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

I raised the 3RR problems with User:190_Proof originally. I was suspicous about him - his edit summaries appeared to be written specifically to appear harmless. Was there somewhere else I could have raised the problems? Nloth 07:12, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Politician cats

If you need a hand, just let me know where to start. --Peta 00:46, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

• I'll start on the Reps, I have some serious procrastinating to do today.--Peta 00:51, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Should it be [[:Category:Members of the Australian House of Representatives from <Division>]], or for <division>?--Peta 00:53, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

With the WA cats, you might want to subordinate Politicians of WA to People of WA and remove the latter from articles. Ambi 00:58, 11 May 2006 (UTC) (in a hurry so being terse)

I haven't removed any cats, most of them weren't in the House of Reps category to begin with.--Peta 02:42, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Members of the Australian Senate for the Northern Territory

Is the intention for this category to include both present and former members of the Senate? If so, we can add Grant Tambling. I note that we do not seem to have an article for Bob Collins who as a Keating minister in notable. If the intention is only the former it is a category that can only have two people in it at present. --Bduke 07:32, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unblocking

Thankyou very much for the unblock Hesperian. Regards, ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 04:34, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] John Holman

One of NASCAR's most famous owners is also named John Holman (of Holman/Moody fame), and we have begun preparing an article. Disambiguous links need to be made for both articles. I would have moved your John Holman article myself, but I didn't know what would be appropriate to add to his name to make it disambiguous. Would you come up with an appropriate name for your article, move it, and we'll take care of the rest. Thanks Royalbroil 14:35, 13 May 2006 (UTC) (WikiProject NASCAR)

[edit] Deleting of my article

Dear Sir or Madam, You have deleted without explanation an article that I have written. I would very much appreciate if you would provide one to me. I strive to edit in a relevant and inoffensive manner, and any major changes that I recommend (such as proposed deletions or substantial edits) I discuss on the entry's Talk Page first. Prior to deleting the article Top Fourteen, I would have preferred that you extended to me the same courtesy. Yours, Ryanluck 15:11, 15 May 2006 (UTC) I've since read the ArD discussions and defer to the consensus of the community. Ryanluck 17:08, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blnguyen

It just occurred to me that you may have wondered what this edit was about. FYI, it refers to a discussion I had with Srikeit and Blng on the possibility of an RfA sponsored by the 3 of us. It seems he's keeping his powder dry for the moment so we'll just have to wait. -- I@n ≡ talk 10:32, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tom Waits and Singapore

As i said to I@n:- 'The shift may have finished physically, but the head is in hobart, sydney and singapore still (only the latter two were visited in reality since shift). I do hope at least a part of the message makes sense, i have over a 100 small plants from the glen forrest wildflowers native plant sale to put out before next rain. after that i might make sense! cheers! trust you were well clear of the pubs last night!' as for shifting anonymous, i have been through the twelve steps of hysteria of having 3 very large storage units full of unsorted material...  :) may well be offline when you hit 20,000 !!! I trust all is well in your neck of the sandflat! SatuSuro 11:40, 18 May 2006 (UTC) And I havent forgotten I promised you an ephemeral piece of history in the past.

SatuSuro 12:04, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] David Hay

what's with moving David Hay, Australian Politician - is there another political David Hay? (actually I'm looking to tidy up the stubs created not using the common names but saw this one also) Garrie 03:52, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Refer: my talk page - Thanks for the info it all makes purfect sense sorta! Garrie 00:39, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey, was David Hay (WA) really Western Australian Legislative Council Member for Wellington? I thought the various LC's were all "statewide representation" - if he was the member for Wellington shouldn't he have been in the LA?

[edit] banksia at gloucester

Aha -the locality cinches it! I just figutred it out - it is a Banksia integrifolia monticola in late bud, this subspecies parallels the coastal integrifolia up the NSW coast from mt Wilson northwards - cool photo cheers Cas Liber Banksia Study Group leader

PS: Will get more photos up soon - getting tired now...................

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Australian $50 note paper front.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Australian $50 note paper front.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rory096 07:01, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi! I added G. Heileman Brewing Company, La Crosse, Wisconsin to the Alan Bond (businessman). Alan Bond took over control of the company which ended in disaster. And I did meet and shook hands with Alan Bond when he was in La Crosse. Please let myself know if there is any problems. Thank you-RFD 17:26, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blnguyen's RfA

Hello Hesperian. Thank you for spending so much time in preparing and nominating me for my request for adminship with such a enthusiastic, gracious and effective nomination, as well as defending me when necessary to keep things running smoothly. Of course, I feel that your statement in my Editor review was also influential, as it was quoted by many RfA participants. The final overwhelming and flattering result of (160/1/0) was in large part, I feel, due to your nomination statement, and leaves me in a position of having to live up to a high standard of community expectation. Your help when I was starting out at Wikipedia was very important to where I am now, and if I make any procedural mistakes, feel free to point them out. Of course, I look forward to working with you in the future. Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 04:12, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Of course, thanks for reverting userpage vandalism again. Thanks.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 03:27, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Metadata

I see you're tackling the new project also. There must be an easier way :( -- I@n ≡ talk 01:57, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I noticed your edits to some of the cricketers on my watchlist. Looked into it, and decided to metadata-ise my article contributions. Big job. It's surprising how long it takes to manually extract this info from an article. If only we had some metadata we could automate the process of entering the metadata! Hesperian 02:03, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

By the time we've finished a clever person will get around to writing a javascript app or something which scrapes the data out of the article. You should be able to get the lastname, first name from the categories and a string search in the opening sentence for date and places of birth/death. 80-90% success I reckon. -- I@n ≡ talk 02:10, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Joe the Moonie

Ian Elliot when last spoken with a year or so ago was intrigued by the extent to which some locations will try to make him one of theirs when there isnt any evidence to back it up, ie the myths around him are as interesting as the facts. I havent read the art yet, will get back later. Oh and in relation to your message, I could well put something up that will rock the socks later on, but for the moment its agonizing over lost people and lost things in Yogya and Dilli, and trying to get the cubic metres of paper/books/things out of storage and into a home base! Anyways, cheers SatuSuro 00:28, 31 May 2006 (UTC) The other half/her indoors (george cole/minder usages) and I were in Toodyay for a brief minute or two last week while on travels, and local tourist info place has two moonie books, ian e's and another - it's a bit like the parkhurst thing - (ie andrews and others), its clear that the industry in itself is important to address. SatuSuro 00:50, 31 May 2006 (UTC) BTW wots with slim? SatuSuro 00:52, 31 May 2006 (UTC) Gawd all the things that i dont like about wikipedia when i trawled through all the gumph.

[edit] WAY 79

Thanks for fix my typing, I thinks no more editing after midnight. If you have time could you have a read of All Saints Church, Henley Brook, your opinion would be appreciated. I created this last night as well Thanks Gnangarra 01:18, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

G'day there cobbers, did my editable bit for Way79, have heaps in the storage unit on this one - just wait for th October 2006 scans from my primary souvenirs folks!SatuSuro 13:01, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

There's gotta be more than just a building at the showgrounds and a painting and "re-enactment" as a legacy, cant wait till i get my hands on some other things as reminders. Also think that the 2004 event needs an art as well. Really 1929 needs an art (once i've got my stuff) and 2004 needs one. Yes ?05:09, 4 June 2006 (UTC) was SatuSuro 10:40, 4 June 2006 (UTC) who forgot or got cut short with 4 tildes.

Big project of mine is to do something on 29 due to the facct that may fathers collection had significant items from it. maybe I'll have to write something, then paraphrase an art later in the year - so as to not fall into the orig research trap. The basic distinctions are the nature of perth between 1929, 1979 and 2004 - something like smallness with strong community continuity in 29, emerging court era 'development' phase in 79, and the thoroughly dispersed community of 2004 where significant parts of the community probably didnt even realise it was on or what it was about!! The 2004 is a very good contrast with 79, as the 'grip' on a centrality in the community is increasingly tenuous (IMHO  :) ) with a much more fragmented community - spatially, and many other ways. just an idea ? SatuSuro 10:40, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your clues/leaders. I am not able in current situation able to go through that stuff, but thanks anyways. Off wiki I might send a comment!

Very impressed by your handle on the subject, maybe you should start it? SatuSuro 12:32, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mackie

I noticed that a William Mackie was a Lieutenant Governor of The Gambia from 1838-1839. Coincidence? -- I@n ≡ talk 05:18, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

The timing could work and he would probably be a suitable candidate. Still it is a bit unlikely not to have been picked up before. I was hoping you may have some refs. -- I@n ≡ talk 05:48, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Governor Fitzgerald who no doubt worked closely with Mackie, was Governor of the Gambia from 1844 to 1847. As was Governor Kennedy from 1851-52. Mind you, these fellows seemed to play musical chairs between the twenty or thirty colonial governorship seats. -- I@n ≡ talk 09:20, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Civil Unions Act

Yes, it is remarkable that he and his ministers are so confident in their action that they don't even feel it incumbent upon them to offer an explanation.

I am so far out of my field here! Thanks for taking the time to leave a message. Geez, I grew up in a place where one or the other of those things were dead on the side of the road all the time — you'd think I'd have learned about 'em!

Since, like me, probably most people mistakenly assume they're the same animal, what do you think about a one-sentence disambig line at the top of each article? I'm thinking something like, at Possum, "For the similarly named but different marsupial opossum, see ______", and vice-versa? (Off-topic, seeing the post above, I'd note that aside from intrinsic human worth, adopting and raising kids certainly does promote survival of the species ... as if war and pollution aren't gonna kill us first!) -- Tenebrae 12:32, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Bah... While there is a list of folks I'd not take criticism from to kindly, you're not on it.
