Aust PM timeline
Hi there! Firstly, let me say how well designed Template:Timeline Australian PM is. I have put it on the 1975 election page as the first of wiki articles of modern day Australian politics. One thing I notice though, and I do notice you did code it correctly (ALP), but why does Chris Watson in 1904 not show up as red despite being marked as ALP in the coding? I take heed of the notice you are not currently on WP, so if I don't get a reply in the short future I will know why. Please reply on my talk page so I read it :-) Timeshift 14:46, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * McEwen has his green NAT stripe tho, and was PM for less than a month after Holt's disappearance. Ah well, if its a technical issue, nothing much I can do. As for Rudd, the Libs will resort to anything to stay in power so it will be one dirty year, but Rudd's in the best position an opposition leader has been for decades! Did you know on the ACNeilson approval rating for opposition leader in the 35 years of their polling, Rudd, Fraser and Hawke are the top 3 - and which of those two were brought in with sweeping majorities? (and that was before electoral reform!) Timeshift 06:51, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Over a year? According to his page, he was in office December 19, 1967 – January 10, 1968, which is less than one month... Timeshift 07:13, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately I don't know how to. I'll explore a bit. Timeshift 13:08, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

"Hopefully Kevin Rudd will be on the end of the graph by the end of the year" - was it ever in doubt? :D Timeshift (talk) 03:49, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't hold much hope unfortunately. I went from Labor to Greens this election myself. Tons better than Howard though. Timeshift (talk) 11:46, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I doing the usual WikiGnome tinkering, following up bugs in the EasyTimeline WikiMedia extension, found the old timeline on your user page and fixed it. The left side of your timeline is a unique idea which revealed another bug in EasyTimeline where the image map fails to align clickable links with their text so I realigned and padded it to avoid the bug in a way that won't break when (if?) the bug eventually gets fixed. Don't shrink the image, move the plot area or pull the text inwards to the bar; otherwise the click areas of the left side will overlap the text on the right side. It's a kludge, but an easy one to live with and now the timeline looks as it should. ;] Aaron Walkhouse (talk) 02:51, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:London Victory Parade 1946.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:London Victory Parade 1946.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Gabbe (talk) 13:37, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
