[edit] Kitesurfing locations
I have nominated Category:Kitesurfing locations for deletion. Please see the link to the discussion from the top of the category page. -- Donald Albury 23:05, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- I think the deletion of the category has decreased the quality of information provided by Wikipedia with respect to kitesurfing. I don't agree with the outcome here. --Peter Campbell 22:04, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for all the comments on my talk, as for the references for the locations how many are needed before the removal of the wikipedia notice about references/citations? - Regards, Richard Thompson 14:40, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- I am not too sure. We could pose this question on the article talk page to see what others think. Peter Campbell 20:39, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Web 3.0 is back! Yes, WTG!
I noticed that the Web 3.0 article has been unblocked and currently being created anew.
It seems you have done quite a bit of leg work on this one and I'd like to commend you for your efforts.
I'm sure I'm but one of the many eagerly watching this article evolve after the recent salting debacle.
Your contributions to the topic (both new and old) and attention provided to the current article is very appreciated.
Thank you Peter! 74.97.109.162
- Thanks, I think it is a good outcome after the frustrations of the early and rapid salting. There were several others working on the restoration too, such as Jumping cheese, Angelo, Numskll and the 20 odd editors who supported its restoration. Peter Campbell 10:27, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- Good job on improving the article. I'm still kind of skeptical about having a Web 3.0 namespace, for reasons I've mentioned elsewhere, but you are doing an awesome job of making it a wikiworthy article and keeping it that way. Artw 21:19, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

- Thanks. Yes I had noticed some of the activity there too. I just found this little gem: Don't be a dick which is interesting reading. Peter Campbell 23:31, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] World Heritage template
Hi! I created a template for World Heritage Sites: {{Infobox World Heritage Site}}. Since many of the protected areas are also recognized as World Heritage Sites, I thought that it will be appropriate to forward this template here, and hopefully, for the community to help improve the template. Someone mentioned that the footnotes are unclear (i.e. why the need to emphasize "official" there). It's because the official name (or the name as inscribed on the List) is different from what we usually know. And the Region also has footnote to tackle specifically the classification of those regions which may fall ambiguously between two continents (e.g. those in Russia, Turkey, Cyprus, etc.). In addition, I think that the info provided in the template is much like a jargon for most readers since it box is more of use for internal references in the World Heritage program. I hope that the community will help improve the template and make it more relevant to the readers of wikipedia in general. Thanks. Joey80 13:38, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Kitesurfing Userbox
Thank you very much for your efforts in creating the kitesurfing userbox. I have recently been working on a few SVG files, for article like Bow kite. The files came out looking not too bad. Because of this I have adapted your userbox and created {{User:Richtom80/UBX/kitesurf}}. Just thought I would let you know, as I didn't want to tread on anyone's toes. Richard Thompson (Talk! | Contribs) 10:17, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- Richard, I like the graphic in your version of the userbox - good work. I don't think having two similar is a problem. Regards, Peter Campbell 11:13, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
I have made a very small change to your userbox, by putting the Category in includeonly tags it doesnt show the userbox on the category page. Hope that is ok - Richard Thompson (Talk! | Contribs) 13:32, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- No problems. Peter Campbell 22:57, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Reversion templates
Hi. Thanks for your recent reversion to the vandalism on Kitesurfing. Is there a template you use for the vandalism warning you put on User_talk:Chrisx12345? Regards, Peter Campbell 11:19, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hi. I do use templates, warning templates, on user talk pages- a list of these can be found at WP:VANDALISM. Other messages for talk pages can be found at Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace. I hope that helped- CattleGirl talk | sign! | review me 22:14, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- There are also a couple of automated systems like WP:TWINKLE that can go a long way to making the vandalism fight easier. Simple add the scripts to your monobook.js and refresh your cache, then when you see vandalism click the button, select the warning level and your done.

[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)
