[edit] License tagging for Image:Altona, Victoria main street.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Altona, Victoria main street.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 09:05, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
This image has been added to Altona Gate Shopping Centre. I do not think it is anywhere near that Shopping Centre in Altona North, but is the main street in Altona. Am I right? --Bduke 00:39, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image:MelbLGA-Brimbank.gif
Hi, hope you don't mind but I added this one today based on your Wyndham one. If you wish to upload a cleaner one over the top, feel free :) They're really good (and very useful on the LGA pages!) Orderinchaos78 13:07, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- No worries. As for the distance, I took it to mean shortest road distance (or in the case of islands, shortest travelled distance) - the as-the-crow-flies distance doesn't really mean much from a visitor/encyclopaedic point of view (esp given that most of the original geography stuff on Wiki was designed by road geeks :D) Orderinchaos78 14:09, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Melbourne meetup in planning
Hello, you've indicated that you're interested in future Meetups in Melbourne on this list, so I'm giving you this message to remind you that Melbounre meetup number four is currently in planning. If you haven't already, please go to Wikipedia:Meetup/Melbourne to suggest possible dates, times and locations. Thanks --Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 03:04, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
[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) 15:04, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Map Congrats & Request
Hi JohnnoShadbolt - I just wanted to congratulate you on your Metro Light Rail map. It's excellent. I was wondering if you would consider doing a map for Sydney's rail system. We had this one, which was good, but some users didn't like it and kept deleting it, surprisingly in favour of this one, which really doesn't look great on the article. I'd prefer a map that has all the stations on it, even if it is shrunk down - that's the whole point of thumnails anyway. It should also be reasonably geographically accurate (ie. not a generic map like the CityRail map shows). I have no idea how you could get that, but a street directory might help... I don't know. Could you see whether you would be able to do that? I would really appreciate it - your maps are good and it would be good to see one on our CityRail article. Thanks. JRG 09:26, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comment! - I'd be more than willing to make a map of Sydney's railways. Similar to this one of Melbourne? Cheers --JohnnoShadbolt 10:03, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- Yes - that would be great. JRG 23:15, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
How's the map going? JRG 07:29, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism
It appears that User:144.136.49.5 is up a little past his bedtime, making vandal edits. I've never had to report someone for vandalism before, but I know that they need a number of warnings. Have you done this before? I am unsure how to proceed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Arcayne (talk • contribs) 09:56, 18 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Metlink map update for Zone 3 removal
The excellent Metlink trains map you made needs an update for the recent removal of Zone 3. Thanks. Pimlottc 04:18, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for reminding me - I knew I had forgotten something! :) --JohnnoShadbolt 04:56, 6 March 2007 (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 06:28, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
