Busy

This user is busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries.

Sorry for not announcing my short break. I'm easing back in now but will probably be scaling back my Wikipedia time quite a bit in the short term. —Moondyne 13:13, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Nice work

Hey, nice work kicking The West Australian back into touch. Thewinchester ^(talk) 09:21, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

High?

Tom price (locality) in my ubd country road map is claimed to be the highest locality in wa at 747 metres - i need a reality check as the info box currently says half of that - maybe the ubd persons are using the actual mount tom price height and not the real town height - watch think? (and it looked like the miami servers were down 2 hours!) Satu Suro 13:35, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

gah thats very helpful - i was all at sea as to whether any of the geosciences stuff actually help with altitudes and you give an answer like that...sigh :) Satu Suro 13:44, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Its getting weirder - three altitudes for tom price locality - btw do you think thats a valid geo-list - localities in wa by altitude :-) ??? Satu Suro 13:51, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Nah - sorting the rats from the quokkas - damned multiple variant heights from various sources is a headache... later...Satu Suro 14:02, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

tagging cricket articles

I have to make a little change to the bot before I can tag articles again. It shouldn't take very long, but I'm not sure when I'll get to it. Then, I have a couple of other projects that have been waiting. I will add Cricket to my to do list though, and let you know when it's done. Ingrid 15:35, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Recent block

I saw that block on that IP address earlier (possibly Tony Senatore), was not sure if it was the user in question but thought seeing that there was a possible issue regarding copyright on The Angels article, thought I better highlight it for discussion. Have a look at the recent edits that IP address did to the Angels article and see what you think --Mikecraig 03:33, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

He has popped up on the IP address page with a reply to your block. What is a bit silly with all this is that if he had a supposed issue with the article in regards to content and where it may have come from/copyright..etc, why not raise it earlier on and not now when he is being blocked both user and IP address. Anyway..--Mikecraig 05:53, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Image tagging

Good question. Chances are it accidentally got hit with a big deletionist fly swat when I CSD'd a bucketload of bad fair use images which got loaded into school articles around the place, lifted straight from Henrietta. Thewinchester ^(talk) 11:02, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Australian Music WikiProject

Thanks for the info regarding this, have not had much involvement with projects apart from adding and editing articles which are part of various projects. Also I see that Tony Senatore is back in action. --Mikecraig 06:03, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up on the project page, will check it out today --Mikecraig 22:28, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Rusty201

It's OK. The fair use crackdown is hard, and I guess we all have to stay as calm as possible, or we'll end up losing good people in frustration. Cheers mate, Riana ⁂ 13:18, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Category question

I just created the category Australian heavy metal music. Is that acceptable and if so did I do it right? BrianFG 01:27, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:Richie Benaud's Greatest XI.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Richie Benaud's Greatest XI.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:12, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello Moondyne. As promised (sort of), I have now upgraded these two pages with the mentioned trivia.Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:05, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Did you create this by hand? I don't think it's accurate, but it looks a lot nicer than a red link until the bot completes its' run. :) -- Longhair\^talk 10:30, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Assessing Australian Music WikiProject

Hi, about the wikiproject tag in the article talk pages, which articles are suitable for adding it? Does it include songs by Australian artists, TV/radio music programs (eg. Spicks and Specks, Australian Idol, It Takes Two)? What is the main guideline for using the project tag? I want to help out. RaNdOm26 11:49, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

moved to WP:AUSMUS for discussion —Moondyne 11:50, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

OZ lit

Can you remember seeing a userbox for oz lit participants somewhere> Seems to have gone awol - would you be able to make one? Satu Suro 12:05, 7 June 2007 (UTC) Thanks for your work there as well - too many projects such a short life :) Satu Suro 14:56, 7 June 2007 (UTC) Nah - who cares - just another userbox in the wall (as in brick and...) Satu Suro 15:01, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

The Stems

Am having a slight problem with another user BigrTex who considers that the fair use images of the various Stems anthology albums are "decorative" and therefore not allowed - do you know whether this is correct? If not how can I get him to stop removing them Dan arndt 00:29, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your advice - am not as familar with all the editorial aspects on Wikipedia and appreciate your expert advice & assistance - am just an average user who is into Australian music Dan arndt 01:28, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Will start tagging some of my articles - just another thing on my "to do" list Dan arndt 01:48, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Issue

Could not be bothered - what an incredible waste of time and energy. Satu Suro 04:03, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Beware the list cullers

Your suggn to dan - thats what we went through with the ES troublemakers trying to get rid of lists some months back - we got rid of the list (dan took it to a sub page) when they said try a category instead. Poor dan will wonder what we are all up to. Unless its clearly very diff from what was deleted (it hads heaps of red links) Satu Suro 06:57, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

gawd I think youd find it easier in his contribs hist - mines getting too big and it was... i cannot even remembe the name or the time .. typical me... you will have to make it as good as you have started with refs and links and fancy bells and whistles and commentary Satu Suro 07:13, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok I would suggest at least three other columns - something life refs/links, style/known haunts, and something else - and be v careful about putting heaps of intro text- would be prepared to help out - but very verystretched at moment Satu Suro 07:18, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Very strongly against such a list with red links - part of wot got the es frenzy up - clear not ambig links to groups/bands fine - red links squawks! (ie not) Satu Suro 07:51, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Am impressed with the list - will try and populate it the best I can - as I stated previously was using the list more as a reminder list of what bands still had yet to have articles (another thing on my 'to do list') - I like it - hopefully it won't be deleted this time Dan arndt 00:55, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again for changing the list - happy to have it hosted on my talk page Dan arndt 04:23, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

COI?

I'm afraid the COIBot is gonna have your guts for garters for this edit. It declares me a perpetrator of evil COI deeds every time I edit Esperance, Western Australia, Esperance Plains or Esperance mallee, merely because "Esperance" and "Hesperian" both contain "esper". Hesperian 07:10, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

There most assuredly is a COIBot, and it has reported you here. Hesperian 15:05, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Reporting Your Blockage

I am going to put this as nice as possible. Do not leave me messages. And do not edit my page. That is considered vandilism or something like that. And next time you block me, I will report you to the highest authority on this website. Now I was fine until you went start messing on my page. So please do not bother me every again.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Soccermeko (talk • contribs)

Aurora

Aurora has an unblock request. I've said my piece but can't formally handle the request because I was the blocker. Gnangarra probably can't either, since he blocked the latest sock. Perhaps you'd like to do the honours. Hesperian 05:26, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Different conversation

Will let you know what I think of that off-wiki :|. The recent edits to Jim Bacon and Bob Hawke is concerning me - the editing to the articles seemed too quick for a newbie - which suggests sock territory - would appreciate you opinion of the matter, cheers Satu Suro 06:01, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Somewhat disturbing to see the message above taken out of context, misinterpreted and copied onto another talk page. I should have put a separator in. sigh Satu Suro 14:25, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:The Angels page

Looking at the latest post on Talk:The_Angels_(Australian_band)#Liberation_music...seems like Tony is back? --Mikecraig 23:14, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Mike Craig information is wrong or is base on real facts on band.

John Breswter left the band in February 1986 not 1985, it in Live Line

Like I saided if you wrong information on this its your problem

My last comment me attack THE ANGELS, I am gbig Angels going back to 1976, and I know what I saying

Are you going above me and listen to Mike Craig?

I find your login is complex and not easy to follow

Nice work on the Angels category..never thought to start one! --Mikecraig 06:35, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Hopefully it does. Cheers, Robertson-Glasgow 17:42, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Nice work

Nice work on the Liberation article...good start. --Mikecraig 03:30, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Doggerel

Ah, our foul-mouthed Cambodian friend! They've taken a break recently, but as far as I know they took a couple month break back in February and March. Perhaps they will come back in August. Natalie 06:30, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Impartial input

Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Actions_of_Alansohn_in_relation_to_continued_WP:POINT_disruptions_on_Wikipedia_talk:Schoolcruft. I would appreciate it if some well considered input from an uninvolved party could be included here. The troll on question has pushed my patience to the point where I simply can no longer assume good faith towards him due to his continued disruption, point and pov pushing, and baseless attempts to claim that personal attacks and threats of violence have been made against him by his constant twisting of words. Thewinchester ^(talk) 22:17, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the effort, and regrettably as I expected (despite hoping otherwise) it wasn't going to amount to much with the user in question. I've already written off the issue as a lost cause and the AN/I was the end of the matter AFAIK. As you would have seen he persists in pursuing his own viewpoint without rhyme or reason. Not a week can go by without getting stuck dealing with another user who love grandstanding and using the place for the purpose of a battleground, instead or just writing decent articles without editorial issues, or have I just become too simple in my own age? Thewinchester ^(talk) 04:24, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Trinity college, perth logo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Trinity college, perth logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 08:14, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

WAMi

I don't have a problem renaming this page to West Australian music industry awards - as the article's creator. I was actually thinking about creating a page for the West Australian music industry and separate pages for WAM 'Song of the Year' etc. Only issue is that there is a huge number of other articles that I have linked to this article & I don't really feel like going back and doing all those changes Dan arndt 09:36, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

List of oz crim locations of the 19th c

I currently support Ben Cousins and his criminal activities. I blocked users writing on this on Ben Cousin's Website because I support drug use.

I am currently challenging the rather odd list apparently originally created by you some 2 years ago - with the increasingly dubious title List of australian penal colonies, dubious in that it now has red links and they seem to be places not colonies. The list as it is of locations and specific institutions - rather than colonies. As there is now also a category the issues is do we really need the list? - would not it be better served by convictivism article - or perhaps it needs moving to a more specific title of list of australian convict era penitentiaries - if it is to remain - please feel free to do likewise on any of my created items from 2 years ago - I am indeed sure I created more mindbending paradoxes than that one :| cheers Satu Suro 12:38, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Youre being too generous - why not give it an intro and move it to a more appropriate title - and link it up? Satu Suro 13:08, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Still reckon the specific locations/penitentaries are what is needed in the title of the list - and even another separate bit of info for the times that the colonies were specific penal colonies (dont know the dates myself) Satu Suro 13:46, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

I was suggesting both - with words in the titles that identify the colonial era/colonies/convict era specifically - ie before states and australia and all that Satu Suro 13:58, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

First, may I ask, where do you get the authority to block me? Secondly, why wont you undelete it so I can do what is necassary for the article. Third what makes you think your "opinon" alone is valid enough to erase this piece of history. --ProfMozart 12:53, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

You act like you have authority here when you dont. please do the right thing. --ProfMozart 13:03, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

What is your problem with the article? you havent said anything, except rubbish? whats rubbish about it? can you please act semi-adult about this, because it just looks like you have a personal issue with the article. --ProfMozart 13:16, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Sword Boys

Hi, I appreciate the hand on Sword Boys. I have restored the trafficking details, as that can be copiously sourced. Let me know if you think more is mandatory.

		Thank you for your support and comments at my RfA
		Hi Moondyne, It still amazes me that otherwise "anonymous" editors take the time to place !votes and comments on RfAs. Whilst I would have normally thanked you at the time of you leaving your message, the importance of my not appearing to be canvassing prevented me from so doing. Now that everything has progressed successfully I can finally thank you. I intend to uphold a style of good adminship and will welcome your further comments at any time in the future, even if they are in the form of admonishment. I will be happy to help as an admin wherever and whenever I can --VS ^talk 23:06, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Neil Harvey pics

Hi Moondyne. Do you know where the pic of Neil Harvey's straight drive came from? Tintin is worried it might not have been taken on Australian soil. Also, I switched the portrait to a very youthful...which was very obviously from before he set foot on foreign soil in 1948...Blnguyen (bananabucket) 02:15, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Link

Hi Moondyne, I found the link on wikiproject edit counters and its exactly the same as the query API, just a fancy interface on top. I figured many web browsers wouldn't have XML parsers and would die on the query API, so it would be better to link to a fancy interface than a raw output that not everyone could use. I love the GTools site anyway, lots of cool stuff to play around with. Somehow they haven't linked the edit counter from the front page... --121.45.214.135 13:08, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

There must be other edit counters using the Query API, just this one seems to be the quickest, and it has the option of linking directly to a specific user's edit count.

mind you too many user talk pages - must remember to remove them the next project that i get rid of those horrible red discussion tags from (brrr) - oh and your australian cricket cats have been snatched for the oz project as well - you probably noticed :| - so many damned projects with about zilch tags for them - Satu Suro 03:30, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

=Footie teams

A huge number of oz afl teams - regional etc - have sports=yes. and not afl=yes in their tags. Is there any reaonable explanation apart from the later startup time of the afl project cf with the oz sports project ? Satu Suro 08:30, 5 July 2007 (UTC) OK ta - gmail later on the issue Satu Suro 08:37, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

ha - check the edit history very carefully - the article and the conversation- the joke is on all of us with this one http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ACentral_West_Australian_Football_League&diff=142626994&oldid=142623259 sigh Satu Suro 08:44, 5 July 2007 (UTC) Oh well I have a vast project wide cleanup, you just have one small edit war to cope with :| Satu Suro 08:46, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Central West is the team - and the new south wales buggers insist on the rest of the name - the article is nsw - but it can read west oz - I tried a hyphen - but some helpful person pointed out the issue and i welcomed the revert and now you capture it for far western nsw! im off for a rest immediately Satu Suro 08:56, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

It is a very very good example of why literalist titles of some articles should never be used without the careful thinking through a sufficient title, disambig page or some form qualifier - I think the reverter actually should- in all politeness now put (NSW) after the title! As for the afl tag and the number of regional leagues who use afl as part of their names - bah humbug Satu Suro 09:06, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

when the robots float cross the watch page

I think my thinking aloud on longhairs talk page i might take the football leagues/things separation to the various project talk pages - i think my mistake could also be a timely point to clarify some issues - watcha think? Satu Suro 14:28, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Another horrie

Is this one over-extending fair use of a club logo, I was looking the other Horrie Miller when I noticed a few links additional to those given in the rationale.

Ta, I'm off for a bit, I will chase it about later. Watch out for two pickled goons, they may create articles about aircraft beacons or vineyards.

Have I asked for yr opinion on the viability of the 'batavia' yarn getting an article? Most of the details are in the (ship) article and that is strewn about the reef by the time the 'temporary micronation' was 'founded'. The rest of the gruesome tale is strewn about biographical articles; I was reminded when noting the early trnsltn of a Mr. Siebenhaar. The name is the tricky thing. ☻ Fred|☝ discussion|✍ contributions 13:11, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

If I may interject, I think this is plenty notable enough to warrant an article.... I just hope we don't attract weirdos who want to make it out as fact. Hesperian 13:15, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

As usual I have no idea what's been talked about here. Someone please give me some hints. —Moondyne 13:26, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Please do not inspect closely the current conversation (on wiki between) fred and self, it may be very dangerous for consumption without lengthy annotation and explanation.

However - (1) two pickled goons - gnang and self with small bit of wine tasting within cooee of baskerville hall (not hounds) this am - re a friend who now lives in Hobart.

(2) aircraft beacons - I remember the greenmount hill one - gnag has found a blackboy hill ref (we did get piccies this am) - i once laboured very long to find nothing at all australian archives about any of them

(3) vineyards of wa - nah - not yet - far too much promotional material available - havent found good third party overview sources yet

(4) batavia yarn - I'll have to check with my social secretary on that one - or perhaps google it - I am at a loss partly myself - however if fred and hesp agree its a goer...

As warned - conversation between self and fred requires extensive explanation so if you dont cotton on - have no fear - its all greek to others as well Satu Suro 13:50, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Dutch one. A clue, these are some more:

With justified derision, but flagrant use of the term fact, Hesp is noting the 'first settlement' notion I was facetiously alluding to; the aforementioned 'micronation' or fatal impact, that some wag has deemed as the first euro-settlement in Australia.
It did not last long, but attempted to implement policies regarding order, foundation and governance.
The population went into sharp decline after this!
The former and more broadly recognised authority, reluctantly returned and re-established the previous policies.
The number of the group declined a bit more.
Others were left on the ... in 'Australia'. The rest continued to their original destination.
It is the subject of fictional, nonfictional and speculative works, particuarly by authors in WA
You and I have met an esteemed author of a (the) key work on the topic - here, editing.

Anyway I have rough draft, but no name. If you were thinking indonesia, you are too far north. Regards, ☻ Fred|☝ discussion|✍ contributions 18:10, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

In plain English, from rough memory: some time in the 1800s, someone wrote an entirely fictional work purporting to be the journal of an explorer in Western Australia. In addition to describing non-existent animals in great detail, this "explorer" claimed to have penetrated into our lush, fertile interior, and there discovered a vast Dutch civilisation in inland W.A. This was of course formed by survivors of the Batavia and perhaps other Dutch wrecks along our coast. At various times since then this work of fiction has been rediscovered and promoted as fact or at least worthy of further analysis. I believe Len Beadell is most recently guilty of this. A fairly large transcript of the original document can be found in Tim Flannery's The Explorers.

This was my original understanding of Fred's comment, and what I was responding to in the above. It now seems to me that Fred is talking about a lot more than just the "Dutch settlement" tall story. He is talking about providing proper detailed coverage of the Batavia wreck incident - the mutiny and murders, the long trip in search of help, the eventual rescue and punishment of the mutineers, etc - important stuff that is either not covered in Wikipedia, or is inadequately covered across a number of biographical articles.

Hesperian 06:16, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Correct: Hesperian is the winner of the au.pop-quiz. Bonus points for the other batavie settlement. As a prize, I will start the article ... if someone can provide a name. ☻ Fred|☝ discussion|✍ contributions 08:23, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

In the shed collection (moon and hesp will know what I am referring to)i think there is also a very obscure novel about (i think it was novel) about a community created in the kimberley that never really existed. However i think it is/was totally different century from the one you allude to here. There is another again of the fictitious lost civilisations under the darling scarp that is linked to long dead theosophists and the late author glaskin - but that is another again - so from my particular perspective - at least three imagined communities that never existed within the bounds of wa - there should never be a claim for just one. cheers Satu Suro 05:50, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Query

With regard to my P-Plates. Can i create talk pages for articles? I wanna go thru all Western Australia related articles, and give them a class and importance rating. And obviously some articles wont have a talk page, so i will need to create them, is this ok? Twenty Years 10:53, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Can i move this page All Saints College Western Australia? to All Saints College, Perth?

Also, for future reference, do i have permission to start talk pages or not? Thanks Twenty Years 11:12, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Neil Harvey straight drive picture

Hi Moondyne. I found that pic in a VCA cricket history book marked as VCA archives. So we are safe. I am sure that was taken before 1955 since Harvey is (relatively) skinny in that picture. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 03:27, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Dowerin Field Day

I'm a little surprised you did that. I would have thought, as the biggest ag show after the Perth Royal Show, which isn't really an ag show anymore, that it was individually notable. Henrietta suggests that it won the Sir David Brand Tourism Award in 1995. She also tells me that it was the subject of a 100 page (I kid you not) supplement in Countryman back in 1988.

This is not a challenge or a request to reconsider. I am quite satisfied that you are more highly qualified to judge of agricultural matters than I am. Just felt like seeing if I could purchase a $2 explanation for 2c.

Climate Map

Hi Moondyne. The base map I scanned in from an old tourist base map of the state that I had. I then drew the outline for the climatic refions myself and coloured them manually, and added the key and the title in powerpoint. I drew the blue line marking the summer and winter rainfall regimes and coloured this too, before saving it from powerpoint as a jpeg file. Surely this classifies as a non-copyright map. John D.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

I was scowering old records when i stumbled across this, where you suggested that i make an articles on Perth Private School Fees.

I was hoping the article could be left up for a couple of weeks so other users could contribute to it and hopefully help with making it more legitimate. is there any chance you can resubmit the article? --Sparkelman11 11:33, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Notability

Thanks for your comments on QStik Records notifiaction for deletion page - it does seem that I am being put through the wringer by User:Orderinchaos on a number of articles - whilst I don't have a problem with having to justify an article's notability (keeps me on my toes) his constant questioning is starting to drive me 'nuts'. Could you have a look at This Vital Chapter for me. Dan arndt 03:54, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Its hard not to have a sense of frustration at times - as I said I agree with the need to provide justification - its just when I provide what I feel is sufficient (certainly what has been sufficient in the past) to keep on being questioned when I am well aware of other articles without as much justification is frustrating Dan arndt 04:14, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Charles Chewings.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Charles Chewings.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 15:09, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

"Rene Lucien le Miere" an article WP:WA said i could create, was deleted by "Rebecca" - (admin i believe), i dont want to do stuff wrong, hence i am asking for your thoughts on the situation. I have written the article is sandbox 5. Cheers. Twenty Years 14:41, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

It should be noted, i didnt actually create the article in mainspace, i went to paste it here, and it said..."article had been previously deleted" - just to clear that up. Twenty Years 14:42, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

FYI (I did a restore/delete) the previous article just said he was a supreme court judge plus a stub and an unreferenced tag. Nothing there to salvage, no external info so just move it on over if Moondyne is happy with that. Gnan garra 15:13, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree with the deletion. Article was as described, "mass-created, cookie-cutter nanostubs with no useful content". Its not enough to determine notability, you have to actually describe that in the article and conform to a reasonable level of content and referencing. —Moondyne 15:21, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

I am lost in the late night and the good cricket! this is a yes or no =P Twenty Years 16:40, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Kim Durack

Thats cool, but a way around this, is possibly this: If we create a page on the Durack family, couldnt info from the Kim Durack page be merged into that "Durack Family" article? There are countless Duracks (atleast 3 or 4 on ADB) and some ex-aquinians =P Thoughts? Twenty Years 16:24, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

I must admit here, i have not a clue who makes up the Durack family, i am going to make a list in the bottom of Sandbox2 under Durack Family, and add the ones i know, if you can add any you know, thatd be much appreciated. Thanks alot. Twenty Years 16:31, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

It best not be long. dont want it to be a case of TLDR :) Twenty Years 16:36, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

My compliments

Did it hit a nerve or was that something you had been working on elsewhere. either way its a good start. Gnan garra 08:05, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

No worries I'll it as soon as the weather changes, sorry for hitting the nerve 8) Gnan garra 08:14, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

The guy there today was fantastic, he's worth a followup visit just for a chat also he offered access to the jewish section when theres two people on. I was there until just after 1500. Gnan garra 14:01, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

He opened up at about 1345 by 1400 i was taking photos down this area .... lol Gnan garra 14:16, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Age calculation template

Might I ask why this template uses commas between the year and date? I realize that that was the old way, but let's face it...if some is 114.32 years old, that's one number, not 114 years, 32/100ths days old. I find the comma to be a bit old-fashioned. In this modern-media world, who reads that slow?Ryoung122 04:08, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Maiden ODI Fifty

No that's no problem at all, i thought it was probably a bit arbitrary and pointless anyway and others had thought the same as well. Delete it unless someone can think of a better use of it Bizzmag 16:10, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Update - have tried editing to make it more appropriate. Bizzmag 20:47, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

One problem

With all the work thats gone into East Perth Cemeteries over the last few days, Karrakatta looks totally pathetic, once the rain breaks I'll go get picts of Karrakatta. Any I rated EPC as B think maybe it could go to WP:GA shortly as well. Gnan garra 01:21, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

DYK

On July 30, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article East Perth Cemeteries, 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.

Thanks again Moondyne. Lol we need you back at the cricket project!Blnguyen (bananabucket) 07:26, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
