[edit] TIFF/EP

For [1] this vandalism, I should have ignored you. But, though you do not deserve it, I have voted. -- RHaworth 11:57, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Terribly sorry about truncating your talk page - I'm not sure how it happened as I didn't even scroll down to that point. I'm still very much a newbie, and am still learning how to use Wikipedia. Ozhiker 12:29, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

That looks like the typical symptoms of this bug. If you are using Firefox and the Google toolbar, please make sure you are updated to the latest versions of both. -- JLaTondre 12:41, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks - I did indeed have an out of date version of the Google toolbar in Firefox - all fixed now. Ozhiker 12:59, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Noted. Confirms my policy of not using toolbars. -- RHaworth 18:32, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] {[Pieman River]]

Good stuff - but with an assertion like that you'll need to do a cite! Sources are becoming the bugbear of some quite aggro editors who are tired of finding unverified items and will put a fact tag against that new bit you put in SatuSuro 01:05, 4 January 2007 (UTC) The once-common suggestion that it was named after a convict "The Pieman" Alexander Pearce who was responsible for one of the few recorded instances of cannibalism in Australia, is not correct. "The Pieman" was in fact Thomas Kent of Southampton, a pastry-cook who was transported to Van Diemen's Land in 1816. After a long series of offences in the colony, he was sent to the Macquarie Harbour penal settlement in 1822 but subsequently escaped, and was recaptured near the mouth of the river which now bears his nickname. we still got to get a source for the name attribution ...

[edit] Franklin Dam

Cripes if youre going to get that detailed- thats a challenge - as I do have things that could possibly back that up - I still have the original newsprint Proposals for the ...Power Development Scheme somewhere... SatuSuro 15:04, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Monolith

http://www.ga.gov.au/education/facts/landforms/uluru.htm is only part of the asnwer to your question.... SatuSuro 12:35, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

While Doctor Karl has this particular line - http://www.abc.net.au/science/k2/moments/s1469595.htm ... SatuSuro 12:37, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gray Communications

A question: how does the Gray Communications page not met Wiki Notability Standards? I updated the Gray Wiki page back in December and continue to update it as I update the WHSV and TV3 Winchester pages to make sure the information is up-to-date. Most of the information is taken from the Gray Communications websites and the digital-only channels are from their station's websites themselves (as Gray's website is sometimes out of date). While some other information comes directly from the station's websites.

If the local websites and the company website is not the most reliable source, please tell me what is?

Rock on....SVRTVDude 22:57, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi SVRTVDude, The reason that Gray Television doesn't meet the notability standard is not because it isn't notable, it's because the notability has not been backed up by appropriate references.

The article should provide evidence of one of the following:

1. The company has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company or corporation itself.

2. The company is listed on ranking indices of important companies produced by well-known and independent publications.

3. The company's share price is used to calculate stock market indices.

Gray Television probably fits most of these categories (only one is needed), but references will put it beyond dispute. Please see the WP:CORP page for more details --Ozhiker 23:10, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Heya, I added a couple links....one from Yahoo, one from CNBC (for market info), one from Business.com, and one from The Hook, an independent newspaper in Charlottesville, VA on the story they did about WCAV/WVAW (WAHU wasn't bought yet when that was written). I hope the way I added them (at the top after the first sentence) is the way you were supposed to add reference articles...if not, you are welcome to change it...and let me know, so I can do it right next time. :o)

Rock on....SVRTVDude 23:47, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Galápagos edit

Hi, at 23:49, 23 January 2007 I rolled back some vandalism on Galápagos Islands only to find that at 00:08, 24 January 2007 you reverted part of it back in. I have reverted that, but cannot understand why you would want the Home of Bigfoot and They export rocks. back in the article. I'm assuming an error, but an curious. Cheers, Vsmith 01:46, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Whoops - 72.82.233.117 apparently vandalised the page several times - I reverted one of his edits, but apparently I was looking at a window of my watchlist that hadn't been refreshed for a couple of hours - I should have looked a bit more carefully. Sorry about that --Ozhiker 08:44, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

OK. But now, please explain why you just reverted the bigfoot bit back in again. Once was a whoops - twice and I begin to wonder. Vsmith 01:41, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, this is getting ridiculous - last night I was going through my browser history to find a page I'd visited the day before, and in going through those, my browser loaded the "editing Galápagos Islands, save button already clicked" page. I figured it was fine because it was just viewing my cache, but apparently not. I'm going to take Galápagos Islands off my watch list and clear out my history, so i don't stuff it up again by mistake, and I think i might now avoid using the popups revert button - its too easy save things without meaning to. Terribly sorry about this. --Ozhiker 08:38, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Eagle Forum GA review

Hi, thanks for reviewing the article, but please consider marking it as in review next time while you're at it. I spent several minutes looking at it before noticing you'd already reviewed it. Thanks, Sandstein 06:28, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Whoops - sorry about that - composing the review took so long I totally forgot about it. --Ozhiker 08:21, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Coord update

Quarl is done updating {{coord}} and adding additional backwards compatibility. Please see his summary at Template_talk:Coord#Updates and comment there. We'll now need to look at how this works for wikicode parsers. I think he's done a great job. Andy Mabbett 11:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sandbox

Welcome to Wikipedia!

Thank you for you understanding and I hope you enjoy contributing constructively to Wikipedia. Telly addict 14:57, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Um? - actually my last edit left the sandbox with just the header, however User:204.117.78.97 blanked the page right after me :
