Greets cj

Breakfast was interesting. I have written notes from the edu event and will type them up and blog them. Would be nice to do something where Adelaide's leaders in wp and wm are more visible as technology leaders/participants to the edu sector. Perhpas opportunities to show what you do in schools or at local community computing events? Do you think Adelaide wm folks would be interested in doing that kind of thing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lucychili (talk • contribs) 23:44, 23 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Thanks cj understood re speaking at edu sector stuff.

I will blog the stuff that was said at the Adelaide seminar. (my notes are a bit scetchy near the questions but the main bit I did get some notes for.) JW's general gist was changing the education sector's reliance on 'gatekeepers' and learning how to use 'accountability' as a means of structuring information and activities. This means participation is the bottomline and good community practice is important. I'm hoping to follow up with talks or projects re wikithinking in schools so they can see why read write culture is useful/important to them. I also have a card game I have been working on to model copyleft/copyright. [[1]] Lucychili 03:30, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indonesia articles...

Thanks for your attention paid to Indonesia articles today. Even if it is 'just' vandalism or inappropriate edit reversion, it is great to see others involved. --Merbabu 13:22, 26 April 2007 (UTC) I'll second that! Satu Suro 13:28, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ps, nice gallery too. I want to add to mine too. --Merbabu 13:24, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!--cj | talk 13:24, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits to Nowra, New South Wales

Thanks for deleting all that useless information on the Nowra page. That page needed a good cleanup and I'd been meaning to do it for a while. JRG 13:27, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! Regards, --cj | talk 13:29, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Great Barrier Reef

I was wondering why the Great Barrier Reef article was sprotected for so long? Vandalism is common on this high profile article, but is reverted by several editors frequently who have it on their watch list. Was there a high profile threat to it until May 6 or was this action requested for some other reason? Thanks. --MattWright (talk) 16:11, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

With articles with a consistent history of vandalism, it is sometimes useful to have a period of protection so as to dissuade recurrent vandals. The expiry date is completely arbitrary, and I'm happy to shorten it if you are bothered.--cj | talk 16:15, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Problem

Is there any - in creating a sub page of the main australian project page as a sort of media diary/gallery of Jimbo's visit and also wikipedia in oz media - what do you think? Satu Suro 05:27, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll respond at WP:AWNB. Cheers,--cj | talk 06:27, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

script

Not that it's a big deal but the script rating also appears to automaticly remove the talk page heading which I thought would be a good thing to have where possible on the political talk pages because their subject matter can be contentious. Thanks, Alec ^{-(answering machine)} 15:43, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, that's cool, I don't feel strongly enough about it to start defending its vertues from criminal wanton destruction from the likes of junkies :) Alec ^{-(answering machine)} 02:31, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh noes, I've been found out! --cj | talk 07:57, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

Hey CJ, do you Gtalk? I have a problem which might require another admin's help. You don't have to if you're busy/don't want to :) Cheers, – Riana _ऋ 15:20, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind. Problem appears to be solved. Regards, – Riana _ऋ 15:23, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I do now ;) --cj | talk 15:30, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Crash on Portal Australia?

Sorry I'd be happy to fix these but not sure what is wrong - just noticed that Portal:Australia has redlinks at Featured Article and Featured Picture. Thought you might be on-line, available and knowledgable?--VS ^talk 01:04, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Regards,--cj | talk 02:06, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Skeleton NT project

Wondering your opinion/advice otherwise on starting a skeleton NT project - no frills no expectations no expected fancy stuff Satu Suro 02:02, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose it might be useful from a categorisation standpoint (as in, tagging articles as NT so we can reckon the scope of NT coverage), but I don't think it would sustain active participation. I'm not aware of any regular NT editors (there was one, but he's long since edited).--cj | talk 02:05, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just had a wa project guy show interest - thought just a skeleton project for tagging purposes alone would be worth it and if some bright spark turns up great otherwise no problems if it lies as a tagging haven alone

do I just start it up do you think or do i need a whizz like you to enable any aspects of it? Satu Suro 02:08, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you're happy to set up the project page, I'm happy to add a capability to {{WP Australia}} for tagging.--cj | talk 02:10, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do I hear something about an NT project? I'd be interested - I lived there for 5 years and have a bit of a feel for the place :) If you guys need a hand, let me know. – Riana _ऋ 02:17, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK youre both on -Done - I have no pretensions beyond the horrible example of the dead in the stocks victoria project (Adelaide and Perth sure show those victorians what they are missing) - will start now Satu Suro 02:19, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the fate of WP:VIC and others is best avoided. Once the project page is set-up, the appropriate parameter can be added to the banner.--cj | talk 02:25, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Northern Territory - do we work from this? Satu Suro 02:29, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have to step out - so the gruelling construction will continue tonight - cheers - any help advice or clues appreciated! Satu Suro 02:46, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Back again

I figured if I make enough edits now, I'll somehow be able to turn back time and attend the breakfast with that other Jim. But seriously, I mostly only stopped by to fix some vandalism on a semi-protected page. Collaborative editing usually isn't, we're long past the stage where edits are more likely to improve a page than make it worse, and it's just not worth the stress—ooh! the French Wiki doesn't have a page on the Australian Greens, really need to fix that . . . ;o) ～J.K. 14:41, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
