Matilda, the image used was cropped from an image in "Telectronics - The Early Years",as the copy of the original is badly scratched, so I have deleted it. The use of the image was inserted as a hopeful but misplaced effort - it was hoped that Gray Jnr would have appreciated having an image inserted.[[User:QRS|QRS]] ([[User talk:QRS|talk]]) 22:56, 27 March 2008 (UTC) |

** Hi Matida, Thanks for your understanding. The image "Geoffrey Wickham" is my own photography, taken on my front verandah in 2004. If you would be so kind as to remedy the Commons page I would appreciate greatly - I thought I'd filled-in all the details correctly.Do not spend your time deleting names and comments from early edits by C Gray; it's no doubt a time consuming & complex procedure. I took the liberty of xxx'ing the names in some of the recent edits - perhaps doing such is not strictly correct, I'm unsure.I recognise that my edits to [[Noel Desmond Gray]], [[Telectronics]] & [[Nucleus Limited]] may conflict with Wikipedia policy. I was never an employee of either company, but worked in a close relationship with both in research so have a first hand knowledge of who did what and wish to see history accurately recorded. Kind regards [[User:QRS|QRS]] ([[User talk:QRS|talk]]) 01:20, 28 March 2008 (UTC) |

Hi Matilda, thanks for your assisatnce on this. No I would like it deleted b/c semi-preotection is not permanent and vandals will always come and vandalise this article. I don't see the purpose of the article when it attracts vandalism - hence deletion is mandatory. Thanks again --CatonB (talk) 02:17, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

On 13 March, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article John Knatchbull, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hi. Can I ask where this has been discussed previously? Furthermore, can I invite you to contribute to the thread at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Wikipedia:Australian_Collaboration_of_the_Fortnight. Thanks, Sam Korn (smoddy) 11:42, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- I can't see what the issue is about! I've got no issues with the template for ACOTF (If I was a Admin I would have posted this on that page above). -- Bidgee (talk) 13:29, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
RE: Greetings
Hi, Thanks! Great to see you're still on Wiki. :) ATM I've moved from the Top End due to Rental costs and ATM looking for a new area to move to (Looking at Victoria ATM) but staying in my old home town for now. -- Bidgee (talk) 13:29, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
WikiProject Films coordinator elections
The WikiProject Films coordinator selection process is starting. We are aiming to elect five coordinators to serve for the next six months; if you are interested in running, please sign up here by March 28! Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 09:14, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
HMS Powerful
Most likely the same ship, but unfortunately there's little I can offer to shed light on her Australian career. What the sources seem to agree on is that she was reduced to the reserve in 1904 and was a training ship by 1912. It's quite possible that in this gap she was reactivated to serve as the Australian station's flagship, but unfortunately my sources don't mention this, nor do the on-line ones I can find. But this shouldn't rule out the likelihood that this is in fact what happened, but rather a gap in the sources. Kind regards, Benea (talk) 16:14, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

RE:Semi-protection for user page
Thanks. I was out getting more photos in the City and have only just got back home. Interesting to see it's a NSW Government IP who just copy and pasted everything from the NT police site. After an issue I had today just getting a photo of a building only to be stopped by NSW Police (Using some LAW banning photography which is the first I've heard of it), It really makes me wonder why I've even bothered coming back to this state! -- Bidgee (talk) 05:53, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Photo
Well not really a building yet but the land across the road from the Wagga Wagga Police Station in Sturt Street. I did say to her that the only law I've heard was for was the one in place for Sydney Harbour. She keeped saying that there was one but she never stated what law it was and that I should delete the photo (Which I refused to and won). Not the first time this has happened. RE " defence installation" I know about as it's posted all around the Darwin Airport but people seem to spary paint over them all the time. Bidgee (talk) 06:40, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Noel Desmond Gray
I agree with your removal of the refimprove tag from the above article, but have replaced it with a "primary sources" tag instead. The problem with the referencing is not that there aren't any, but that most of the article is referenced by a self-published work written by the article subject and his son. This is a potentially worthwhile reference but falls short of the definition of secondary sources - hence the primary sources tag.
Not a big deal, just in case you were wondering why the tag you removed has been replaced with a different one. Euryalus (talk) 05:44, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- The anon IP also adds comments to Geoffrey Wickham and Telectronics. They don't seem to edit general pacemaker articles - their sole interest appears to be in promoting Noel Gray and denigrating his Telectronics colleagues. The posts breach civility guidelines and sometimes NPA but I don't consider them offensive enough to need oversight. I respect QRS's view but I think we're going well enough in slowly improving these articles that no admin action is presently required. As you said, any offensive posts get quickly removed and the anon IP doesn't post often enough to effectively disrupt the page. Euryalus (talk) 06:14, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
