[edit] Adelaide Parks and Gardens

The development of Category:Adelaide parks and gardens is coming along very well. I created the Parks and gardens project page. Hopefully someone local can review and perhaps add any parks or gardens missing from the list and refine the groundrules if necessary.--Takver 5 July 2005 02:20 (UTC)

I've written an article for Langman Reserve, a reserve/park located in the Burnside/Waterfall Gully area, would someone be able to do some touchups/edits and give it a checkup as well as it add it to the "Parks and Gardens" list? --Michael 17 August 2005 4:45

[edit] Images listed for deletion

I listed some images relevant to your WikiProject for deletion. See Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion for more details and consider discussing the images there. —Iamunknown 05:16, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] South Australia portal

Hi all. I've set up a Portal:South Australia to showcase the fine work being done by local contributors. Check it out, if you'd like :)--cj | talk 05:21, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks cj. We've stagnated for a while. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 05:26, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Bravo, I like it! :P michael ^talk 09:38, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jimbo to visit Adelaide late April

Jimbo in Adelaide, see http://indaily2new.nessus.e-studio.com.au/editions/archives/newsletter_20070305.htm#8976 as "key speaker at a series of seminars on the future of knowledge. The seminars, to be hosted by information and communications technology company education.au, will kick off in Adelaide on April 23" Paul foord 09:37, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Probably a good time for a Wikipedia:Meetup Alex Sims 11:40, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Agreed, yes. michael ^talk 11:50, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Another meetup would be good - the seminar he's keynote speaker at looks interesting...must see if I can hide this in the budget at work... - Peripitus (Talk) 11:53, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Hopefully there would be time somewhere in there for Jimbo to actually meet some South Australian Wikipedians. I don't think, given most of us are students, that we each have a spare $300 lying around to go to a one-day seminar. michael ^talk 11:56, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

As Mark Ryan said, "Why would we pay $300 just to hear Jimbo tell us what we already know in great depth about Wikipedia?"?--cj | talk 12:19, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I've been super bold and written to him asking him to attend a meetup. Alex Sims 11:58, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I think discussion on the Wikimedia Australia mailing list indicated that his schedule probably won't allow for that. But there's no harm in trying.--cj | talk 12:16, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Got a reply from Jimbo. Please see Wikipedia:Meetup/Adelaide. Alex Sims 06:35, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Ouch. I guess Jimbo needs to catch his planes in the afternoon. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:40, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

300 bucks, blimey. Hope this place has windows ;) – Riana ^ঋ 11:46, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adelaide article statistics

As part of development plans for WikiProject Australia, I'm testing out a subproject assessment statistics capability on {{WP Australia}}, using our project as the guinea pig. If all goes well, we should be the first Australian project to have specific statistics for articles within our scope. The new capability also allows us to rank Adelaide-related articles according to their importance within our scope. As an example: {{WP Australia|class=FA|importance=low|Adelaide=yes|Adelaide-importance=top}}. The only change to current assessment practices is the addition of this "Adelaide-importance=" parameter. Everything else is automatic. --cj | talk 11:44, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

And here we have it: Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Adelaide articles by quality statistics.--cj | talk 12:38, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Nice work cyberjunkie. Odd thing though - the template notes only 4 FAs but there are 5 in the linked category..... a bot bug ? - Peripitus (Talk) 20:27, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

No. I added Don Dunstan to WP:ADEL after the bot did its run through. It should be updated when it does it scheduled daily run.--cj | talk 22:10, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for this, Cyberjunkie. Daniel Bryant 05:45, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
