G'day

G'day esteemed person who has expressed interest in Sydney based meetups at this page (I hope that's the correct wording for the formal greeting!!). You may have heard that Australia is to have its very own 'chapter' of the Wikimedia Foundation - and further, there's a meeting coming up to discuss / enact the chapter's incorporation (details here). I'm afraid that I don't know too much about the details of what this entails, other than having a private hope that we might get a secret handshake, and maybe cheap coffee at wikimania (this is a poor attempt at humour - I'm sure that the Chapter's do great work, and it's a good thing that Australia is to have one).

If you're interested in meeting up this weekend (the set date is the 20th) - or later, then please do head over here and sign up, or make a comment at the talk page... the drive to create the chapter has largely come from another town in Australia that I'm afraid I haven't actually heard much about.. and anything they can do.... right? - cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 11:11, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

editing help

Hi there Enoch!

A university class I've been trying to convince to get involved in using WP in their class has today agreed to do so. In the class they rewrote the text of Religious Nationalism. I was wondering if you could have a look at it and edit it mercilessly (as the saying goes). Perhaps if you could convince others to get in on the act too that would be great.

Here is the diff of the edit they made [1].

Thanks for your help,

Witty Lama 10:36, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that the section Religious Nationalism has now been separated from the main article Nationalism into its own article Religious nationalism. Please join in and help bring this newly formed article up to standard. Especially important is avoiding a Systemic Bias and adding Citations.

All the best, Witty Lama 04:57, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I promise to take a look when I get some time. enochlau (talk) 22:03, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Drinks and a wiki chat?

G'day sydneysider - fancy a 'not quite a meetup but a few drinks' sort of thing? - We can chat about the new aussie chapter, the price of eggs and have our very own 2020 Wiki Summit! - or just sink a couple of cold ones and gass bag about the good 'ol days of wiki, when an editor could get some repsect (not a typo)! I've suggested something here so take a look and sign up if you're up for it... cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 02:28, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting images on Commons but not replacing them

I noticed that you deleted an image that apparently is also on Commons but did not change the link in the article that uses the image. Is this a common occurrence? Do administrators typically delete images from Wikipedia because there is a copy on Commons without replacing the actual links in the articles? --ElKevbo (talk) 15:12, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted that a year ago. I don't remember this image in particular, but based on the deletion reason I entered, I suspect that at the time that I deleted it, there was an exact replica of that image on Commons with the same name - in which case, yes, admins on the English Wikipedia will delete the local version, because the image link will still work (if a local image is not found, it will look on the Commons for a file of the same name). However, this image was deleted on the Commons recently [2], because it was not tagged correctly. It appears that this image was a PD-old image, so I'm happy to restore the local version on the English Wikipedia if you like - not sure why it wasn't tagged correctly on the Commons (I'm not an admin there, can't see deleted edit history). enochlau (talk) 22:01, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Holy crap did that timestamp say 2007 and not 2008? Wow - color me embarrassed! If I had noticed then I certainly wouldn't have bothered you about it as it is quite ridiculous to expect anyone to remember a specific incident from back that far.
If you could please restore the local copy of the image that would be spiffy. Thanks! --ElKevbo (talk) 22:25, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done. But now it needs sources otherwise it'll be deleted locally as well. enochlau (talk) 03:26, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Thanks again! --ElKevbo (talk) 05:38, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How is their entry not blatant advertising? In retrospect, I realize our entry was but we would like to add our company in some fashion. Can you offer any suggestions? We've won awards and have been online since 1996.
