Good to see the break is helpingI'm pleased to see your break is helping the stress level. I hope it gets you all the way back to normal soon. Cheers. --Scott Davis Talk 09:49, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
No worries.

go go gosorry for messing the snotty/drew nomination page up, but my estimation (as I have said) is that some of his arts are of better standard than what the coming wa encyc (print) has offered to date - his rapid grasp of some of the more difficult issues of wa history astonishes me to say the least - as for me, if i ever finish western tas (about another 80 or so arts if I do it properly) and pastoral leases of wa (sigh only another 420 to go) I wouldnt even scratch his level of scholarship and thoroughness.oh well so much for being on a break!vcxlor 14:11, 25 November 2005 (UTC) ThanksHi, thanks for your response.

Australian Prime MinistersCyberjunkie, I really fail to see why you reverted my change to the colours in the list of Australian Prime Ministers. Admittedly, it wasn't that nice on the eyes, but the present list is hopeless. --RaiderAspect 02:02, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Re:The Aussie take-overHeh! No, offhand I can't think fo any kiwis coming up to be nominated. There might be some, but - as you say - a lot of the top ones are already admins (Gadfium, Moriori and the like). These things do seem to come in cycles though so probably there'll be three or four of them in a couple of months' time. Grutness...wha? 06:32, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

My first (and so far only) use of my new superpowers was to delete an old version of Image:HenryDaglish.jpeg, which was in fact a photo of Hal Colebatch not Henry Daglish. That particular loose end had been making me itchy for over a year, so if feels good to scratch it at last. I have added myself to the Aussie admins category, and ripped off your admin userbox.

Newb questionHi, it looks like my first foray into editing Wikipedia didn't go so well as you gave me a yellow card :) I added links to weather pages for a number of cities which I thought were relevant and I deleted two links from Perth which I considered spam. I would appreciate it if you could explain exactly what was wrong with my edits so I don't make the same mistake twice. I realise adding/deleting links isn't the greatest contribution but I thought it would be a good way to get my feet wet. 58.6.125.11 13:00, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Religion PortalsHey Cyberjunkie, I saw that you removed severeal religion portals from the portal list, calling them philosophy articles. What's the reason? Those are all portals, and we were asked to list them here because it is obligatory. deeptrivia (talk) 13:18, 6 December 2005 (UTC) PS: Just to make it clear, I'm talking about these portals: Bahá'í Faith, Sikhism, Taoism, Jainism, Shinto, Zoroastrianism, Confucianism.

Cheers for the copyedit in education though! - Help PleaseHi there. I notice you have banned my IP 202.6.138.34 for vandalism, which is kind of worrying me since I have never vandalised anything to do with Wikipedia. I think in total I may have made about two or three very small, useful changes to a couple of articles, but have never gone and vandalised the site. My username for Wikipedia is Riksta. Any help you could offer would be appreciated. Thanks! I only found out by accident when I clicked a red link. By the way, I just clicked "edit page" on another article and it bought up the editing page OK, so I think it may be something weird here - but yeah, I haven't been vandelising and it worried me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riksta (talk • contribs) 09:40, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

OK, so at least mention that the crowd used the phrase "we will decide who comes to this country and the circumstances in which they come"— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjspe1 (talk • contribs) 12:05, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
GotchaThanks for the calm advice. I was getting a *tad* bit annoyed there. See, this is why you're an administator! - Re: Technical stuffI haven't had to do it, but if you delete one, move the other over it and then restore all the deleted edits both histories should be at the same name at least... --nixie 05:13, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
Have you looked at Wikipedia:How to fix cut and paste moves? --Martyman-(talk) 05:16, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
I understand. It doesn't say that merging won't work, it just says that it will interleave the overlapping history making it very confusing. Probably not a very positive outcome, I guess.. --Martyman-(talk) 06:16, 14 December 2005 (UTC) Hi, Could you please take a look at the comments at Talk:Jung Sin Yuk-Do and advise what can be done about the problem. It looks like a case of somebody writing an article about themselves and editing out and criticism and calling it vandalism. Part of teh problem is that most of the edits are being done by IP numbers with no user names. Getting an understanding of what has been going on might require going back through the history a bit. If it makes it easier, I can try to document the history of it. The original article which was almost certainly self promotion was Rod Cook. It has since been deleted. A recent comment suggests that there are related pages where self promotion has been going on as well. I had a look and found a Martial Arts wiki project. I thought that referring it to them might help, but it could also inflame the situation, so I thought I would ask your opinion first. Thanks. -- Adz 07:03, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
G'dayJust watching my watch page and there's somebody at 60.224.194.70 putting obvious ad links on sydney,freo, and some other places. I've sent a test1 and test2 it might have been the wrong thing to do. I just saw you're probably the only admin I know on at the moment. you might want to have a look. I might have been over-reacting maybe. you might want me to pull my head in - that;s fine. vcxlor 08:35, 14 December 2005 (UTC) Gawks alexxx got into it at same time. if only there was that much watching in wiki for all 800.000 arts! vcxlor 08:44, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Kenso techWhat is wrong with my "Kenso tech" addition on UNSW. Do a google search in Australia. Or better still, go to a reputable university in Sydney (including UNSW) and ask people if they have heard of Kenso tech. Australian Greens article editsI have been editing the Australian Greens article to balance out the commentary relating to right-wing attacks against the Greens in the "Ideology" section - which I don't think meet NPOV criteria. I think that this section should relate to Greens ideology rather than intepretations of it that are biased towards recent right wing attacks - which could be put in another section. Some of my edits have been backed out, and more right-wing references (eg. Andrew Bolt) added. There are no balancing references - e.g. Margo Kingston's blog on Greens policies. What is the process for agreeing on content and NPOV fit? Political comment is obviously difficult to balance out. Peter Campbell 03:30, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Re: advice on Speedy Delete nominationsThanks for the tip; I shall be more diligent in future. Cheers, Colonel Tom 04:32, 20 December 2005 (UTC) KoalaI'm undecided on whether to work on Koala - which needs some serious rewriting- or one of the wombats/quolls/possums where I have a blank slate. The Koala image in the fauna article seems to be the one that is set for the main page, not sure why you can't see it.--nixie 05:31, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Race RiotsHi Cyberjunkie, you made a revert edit to the 2005 Sydney race riots article that I would like to ask you about.
has been reverted to
I think the first formulation is better because is more cautiously formulated and more NPOV. In the second statement, to say that event X caused reaction Y is a very strong claim. I think it's better to talk about something contributing or fuelling anger rather than making this a direct causal relationship. Could you explain your thinking in changing this back?
has been reverted to
I am not so concerned about this change but I do think the 2nd (reverted) version below is not as well expressed as the 1st version above. In particular, the word triggered concerns me because it seems to imply that the race riot was like a loaded gun (if I understand the trigger metaphor correctly). In other words, it was a situation just sitting there waiting to go off. I don't really agree with this and I think it's more POV than the word exascerbated. So again, I'm wondering why this was changed. --Alexxx1 23:52, 20 December 2005 (UTC) One more thing. I understand that you have made this section of the article invisible until such time as it properly written and sourced. However, I think this may be a problem because anyone who comes to the article now will not know that there is a hidden section of text in there unless they happen to edit the page or look closely at its history. Surely, if something is not well written, it is better to leave it visible so that people will see it and edit it. That's how wikipedia works right? If it's invisible, it might never be worked on again. So I can't really see a good reason for hiding it. I mean, if you think this section is so bad that it shouldn't be on display, shouldn't you either edit what you see as the problem or delete it altogether? I'm still a newb on wikipedia so I don't know what the standard procedure is but this is the first time I've come across a section of an article being hidden like this. --Alexxx1 03:41, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
malo's RfA![]() PortalsThanks for supporting the Constructed languages portal for Featured status. I'm very interested in the future of portals on Wikipedia. I'm also curious about your views of no self-references on the portals. While I agree articles should not be self-referential it seems to me that portals would be by their very nature. Perhaps I am wrong, but I would like an explaination. I've been exploring portals in other-language Wikipedias, and even have helped set them up in the Esperanto Wikipedia. It seems that many of the portals in those wikipedias are very self-referential, including many Portails de Qualité in the French Wikipedia. I also like that the other-language portals are more focused on directing to content, than being actual content themselves, which I would thing is important. It seems that the English portals actually differ substantially from others, and I was curious if there were reasons for this. Also, I went and created a Language portal, and while looking for redirects, noticed there already was an incomplete Linguistics portal. I was wondering if you think its worth having both, or to erase the other portal and redirect it to the Language portal? Thanks for your time and effort. Jon 18:09, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
templateHi cj, just thought you'd like to know I created a template at {{user-AmE-0}}... no prizes for guessing what is contains. There were loads of us with pretty much the same box, so it seemed sensible to template it. Unfortunateley {{user AmE-0}} was taken... never mind.

Egyptology PortalGreat to see some else looking at this page as well – so thanks for your time and effort. Markh 13:38, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
Question on passing variablesI'm impressed by the markup on your talk page. You definitely seem to know mark-up. Perhaps you could answer a question... Is there any way to pass a variable on the same page? Like specifying colors. For portals for instance, all I've seen so far are 2 and 3 page models for passing color variables. The standard portal skeleton is 3 pages deep: the portal page, header subpages below that, and a template called from the subpages. Go for it! 06:46, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
TemplatesI'm still not really sure why you're reverting Template:IRU Australia. These Australian university templates are the only ones on Wikipedia that have no formatting or borders, and they really do look quite ugly. If there's others, then how about we fix them up, rather than leaving them in their current shoddy state? Ambi 10:54, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Template:MainPageIntroI've worked up a couple layout modifications of the template. Take a look at: Main Page New2 and Main Page New.

Portal stuffI created a new browse bar for portals {{Browsebar graphic}}, and a template for subportals: {{Subportals}}. I'm trying to make the number of boxes optional using if/then statements (using {{qif}} at User:JonMoore/Portal_template), but I think I may have to go the route of {{babel}} and create multiple templates. I made an example of what it wold look like for a child portal here and added it to Portal:Geography to show what it would look like for a grandparent portal. This would pretty much relieve the need for {{portals}} on the page, I think. {{Browsebar graphic}} may be used on grandparent portals, and we can customized the bar for parent and child portals. Children would probably not need the subportal boxes, only Grandparents and Parents. If I don't here from you soon, Happy Chrismukkah. Jon 20:47, 24 December 2005 (UTC) Why the removal of the paragraph about stereotypes at the school? It is properly stated they are stereotypes and they do seem accurate as stereotypes.

He cited the discussion on Template talk:MainPageIntro#portal:art and portal:philosophy. However, that discussion was tied 2 to 2 at that time. Please go there and support Art and Philosophy.

I've tagged it as a stub for now. I'm not asking you to work on it, I'm just wondering if it's a notable object. In Canada a weir is generally a small construction that isn't notable unless the mob buried a body under it... (cough). Cheers.--Bookandcoffee 20:45, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi Cyberjunkie, I just wanted to thank you for supporting me in my RfA. To tell you the truth, I was surprised by all the support I've gotten. I never saw myself as more than an occasional Wiki-hobbyist. My wife sends her curses, as Wikipedia will likely suck up more of my time. She jokingly (I think) said she was tempted to log on to Wikipedia just to vote Oppose and let everyone know that she didn't want her husband to be an admin. It means a great deal to me to get a cliché vote. I'll make sure your trust in me is founded. --Deathphoenix 15:23, 28 December 2005 (UTC) Ta!I just noticed that you'd created Netball Australia a couple of weeks ago.

Featured portal candidatesThank you for your comments on my talk page. I'm not yet prepared to give way on my objections as I'd like guarantees that the portals will be maintained.

Cj, I have now changed to supporting the promotion of Portal:Trains, which I think leaves your comment regarding colours as the only outstanding point. Perhaps you could agree with Slambo how best to take this forward as it would be a shame to lose featuring it for a point that presumably could be easily resolved. By the way, after changing my comment to support on Portal:Constructed languages I have promoted the portal. I have also set up a guide to promoting portals on the Wikipedia:Featured portal candidates page, and arranged sub-pages, all of which are akin to what happens on Wikipedia:Featured list candidates. Kind regards, jguk 12:20, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

If you have a dispute with an articles' content, please use its discussion page to consensually and civilly resolve your dispute. Do not engage in edit wars or break the three revert rule as you have now done.

Why did you remove Scotland from the list of European nations? We have, since 1999, an elected Parliament of our own and have been in only a temporary, partial union with England since 1707. The Scottish Parliament is elected and has sovereignity. There is already an extensive amount of material on Wikipedia on Scotland and indeed a version in Scottish Gaelic. Please restore the country to the European countries list where it belongs. The statement on the page is that: "It contains sovereign states, dependent territories and special entities recognized by international treaty or agreement." It already includes regioanl provinces of Norway and Finland as well as individual islands off the coast of Britain so Scotland is a serious ommision. Many thanks and happy new year! --iainmacl Iainmacl 21:06, 31 December 2005 (UTC) MainPageIntroIt looks like your approach to changing the browsebar on the main page works.

Spread out over a month or two might give users time to get used to the changes. If one change doesn't stick, it doesn't hurt to try another one right away. Then you can put the change that didn't stick at the end of the list, and try it again later. The weird thing is that the explanation of the guy who reverted the browsebar last time didn't make any sense. Take a look. It's as if he didn't know that A-Z was the Index. And if the Index was the only reason he reverted, then the rest of the revert was unintentional. See what you make of his revert, and let me know. Happy New Year! Go for it! 23:23, 31 December 2005 (UTC) ThanksThanks for your nice update to my entry! I've been busy adding bits and pieces to Wikipedia while I have a few days off from the day job, so I saw it almost immediately. Happy New Year! JQ 00:08, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
Dear Cyberjunkie, Thanks for tidying up the amendments I made to the infobox associated with the John Howard article. I'm fairly new to this, so I appreciate your guidance.

Jimbo and David G know the names I use, but have kept them quiet because otherwise I'd be harassed by the usual charmers. --Pete SprotectHi there. When you (s)protect a page, such as Australia, don't forget to list it at WP:PP. That helps keep track of how long things have been protected for. (And don't forget to unprotect as soon as possible, in general.) Thanks. -Splashtalk 15:54, 4 January 2006 (UTC) |
