Avochelm speedy
I saw you replaced the "article" text with the tag. Please, don't delete text when tagging, so people can easily see why it's being tagged. Also, you may want to use which allows you to add a reason for your tagging. Happy editing! - Mgm|(talk) 09:53, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi Mgm. Sorry, that was accidental! The anonymous editor had removed an earlier speedy tag. It appears to be an attack on User:Avochelm, so removal would be justified in any case.--Cyberjunkie | Talk 10:00, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Question
Hi, a particular page has been vandalised in a number of modifications (e.g. -(970) 217-4920 this man is a very hot hot hot foot ball player, that loves is so cool, and i love him, he likes men). I could change each individual act of vandalism. It would be easier to revert back about 6 versions. How do you do that? Avalon 22:31, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * See Revert. Go to the page history, click on the date of the version you wish to revert to, once loaded "edit this page" and save. --Cyberjunkie | Talk 03:33, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for that. Someone else already reverted the 10 vandalising revisions but its good I can do it myself if/when I see it again. Avalon 08:36, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Re: Welcome
Hi, and thanks for your welcome. I am also Sydney-born and now live in Canberra. Funnily enough, I am a believer in Jesus (but I have a lot of time for atheists). So we have a lot in (and not in) common. Thanks for your offer of help - I will probably take you up on it. Cheers for now. --DarbyAsh 08:47, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Welcome to WikiProject Politics!
Cyberjunkie, apologies for not personally welcoming you to the project yet, and many thanks for signing up so soon after its inception. Both the Portal and WikiProject pages are more or less up and running now, and the project page has a list of start-up tasks on there. At the moment, my main concern is to compile all categories relating to Politics and somehow present a useful selection of these on the Portal, but it would be just as helpful to start adding other tasks on the project page to keep everyone busy.

The fact that you already run a Politics project will be of great use - I'm sure you have a much better idea of how to go about things than I do, so add as many tasks as you can think of. The dust will settle soon, after which the project can get busy keeping the politics content of WP up to date, well organised, etc.

I hope you don't mind me using your AusPoliticsTasks template to make PoliticsTasks - it's on the project page and will no doubt be very useful. On a similar note, would you object if I nicked your user page? I saw that you yourself made it from a format you had seen elsewhere, so I hope you don't object if I copy out the formatting. Thanks, --HighHopes (T)&sdot; [ (+)] &sdot;(C)&sdot;(E)&sdot;(P) 11:39, 28 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the welcome, and again, I must thank you for getting both the Portal and Project started. At this stage, I don't think I can make any improvements on what you've already done - testament to your fine work :). Whilst I started the WikiProject Australian politics, it was organised in very large part by Ambi. The task template is a standard template, so no, I don't mind you using it at all. Nor do I mind you using my user-page format; that format was first designed by Blankfaze, and I merged a couple variants. My time being limited as it is, I don't imagine I'll be making any major contributions to politcs-related articles (and WikiProject Adelaide is my priority). However, I'll certainly be engaging in any Project discussions, and should be able to help maintain the Portal; I'm fairly involved with Portals as it is, and I created and maintain The Australia Wikiportal and The New Zealand Wikiportal (the latter I'm now less involved with). Thanks again, --Cyberjunkie | Talk 13:45, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks!
Cheers for the kind words regarding the Waterfall Gully article. I'm hoping it'll soon be a South Australian replacement for Summer Hill in regards to what a "feature-grade" suburb article should represent.

Thank you for supporting my masters RfA. He appreciates your support and comments and looks forward to better serving Wikipedia the best he can. Of course I will be doing all of the real work.

bug
That was crazy on 2005 Bali bombings, bug I guess. On a seperate note do you mind if I borrow some elements of your talk page design, it's really cool. Jtkiefer T - 02:55, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Tony Abbott's Bali hospital visit
I just wanted to clarify my reasoning for including Tony Abbott's hospital visit. I figured that a federal minister visiting a hospital at the scene of a terrorist attack, less than 24 hours after the incident, warranted inclusion as a notable response. I understand that the definition of 'response' may be the point in question; as the other responses listed are more general verbal responses to the event, not actions taken (however opportunistic).

Still, I'm not fussed if you wish to remove it. I'm not going to get my panties in a twist, especially defending Tony Abbott! :) Respekt. Cnwb 08:46, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't believe I ever objected? I modeled the section on the response to the 2005 London bombings, but didn't separate Head of Government comments from others. Perhaps that will eventually happen, but the Abbott thing is certainly worth inclusion (though I'm not fond of him, either). :)--Cyberjunkie | Talk 08:50, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * No wukkas. I only brought it up because you deleted the text after I poasted it. Cnwb 09:03, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I did? Oops. That's the problem with current events: everyone's editing at the same time! And edit conflict doesn't always work, especially when section editing. Sorry! ;-)--Cyberjunkie | Talk 09:11, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Re: Your RFA
Thanks for your opinion but I still would like to apply to become an admin. I want a rollback button to help me remove vandalism and to be able to warn people that vandalise and if they keep doing it ban them.

I would also like to suggest a ban from editing pages for people that after a warning continue to vandalise, If there is not already one.

Still, nothing as gruesome as that video the media played over and over of those poor Yank contractors being desecrated by a mob in Iraq.--Cyberjunkie | Talk 03:26, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

I was doing post grad fieldwork in java in mid 90's and could not believe what was acceptable to indonesian print media. this one by the west is odd- it will be interesting as west journos get very defensive about their sense of what is appropriate (and they never will get on wiki because they never cite their sources! :)     vcxlor 03:42, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Aircraft specs policy
Several weeks ago, you voted in the WikiProject Aircraft Specifications Survey. One of the results of the survey was that the specifications for the various aircraft articles will now be displayed using a template. Ericg and I have just finished developing that template; a lengthier bulletin can be found on the WT:Air talkpage. Naturally, we will need to begin a drive to update the aircraft articles. However, several topics in the survey did reach establish consensus, and they need to be resolved before we implement the template. It is crticial that we make some conclusion, so that updating of the specs can resume as soon as possible. You can take part in the discussions here. Thanks, Ingoolemo   talk  06:00, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

My mistake. I have already begun removing the new template from several articles. Can you direct me to a portal to discuss establishing a side template suitable to all? Brisvegas 09:56, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Adelstub &rarr; Adelaide-stub
Hi Cyberjunkie - thought you should know that Template:Adelstub has been renamed after debate at WP:WSS (it's now Adelaide-stub). I was going to change the reference to it on your user page, but that looks like a weird beast you've constructed there, so I'll leave it to you! Grutness...  wha?  11:17, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Locator Maps
Hi Cyberjunkie, I have uploaded some more minor city locator maps, and state locators in a matching style. I think there might be some arguments about changing from the existing state locators, as the existing bitmap ones must have been a lot of fidly work to put together. Anyway if you are keen to roll out the Australian City info box, you might find the extra locators useful.

Oh and congratuations on the admin nom voting is looking good. Martyman 22:07, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Infobox
Hi, do you have any idea how to make a field in an infobox optional? For example I want to be able to leave out daylight savings time from the city box for Darwin. Thanks. --nixie 03:18, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * AFAIK, it is possible to create a "free label" or a blank parameter, but that wouldn't be possible for the DST thing because that's part of an existing parameter. That's partly the reason I held off from adding the infobox to non-DST cities. However, I looked at non-DST countries using Infobox Country, and saw that they just wrote not observed and figured it a reasonable compromise. Is that okay? We could always just simplify the time zone parameter and remove DST altogether. I've gone ahead and added it to all capital cities, and will probably roll it out to major regional cities like Newcastle and Geelong. By the way, thank you for your support in my Rfa! If I'm successful, I hope I won't prove your confidence in me wrong. Thanks again, :)--Cyberjunkie | Talk 16:31, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't see anything bad in your contributions to the article, although some of the photos and your formating was a bit odd. Are you certain the photos can be exhibited on Wikipedia? Simply amending copyright images doesn't make them public domain.--Cyberjunkie | Talk 04:16, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Congratulations! (combined)
Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers! -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 06:04, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Just, I'm fucking mad now. You admins just don't let the article prosper, other people making it better in time. Yes, EVERY article starts off shit, IT NEEDS TIME TO GET BETTER.

I'm afraid there was nothing about that article that was appropriate for an encyclopædia, and it was accordingly deleted.

Hi Cyberjunkie, Ecemaml is an obsessive bigoted individual who appears to have a chip on his shoulder and an inferiority complex over Gibraltar. He has repeatedly vandalised the Gibraltar page in Spanish WP, and has ganged up with a few like minded spaniards to actually block the whole of Gibraltar from WP.es

He knows that he is abusing his position there, and is using the Gibraltar article to spout lies and propaganda about Gibraltar, which as you will understand is extremely offensive to the people of Gibraltar. The article is heavily POV, and there is a conspiracy to keep it that way. If he wishes to engage in Gibraltar bashing he should find another forum. This is not the place for that. There is no copyright on the article in question and he knows this, and is unable to prove otherwise. This is just another skirmish in his anti-Gibraltar campaign. He should be ignored. --Gibraltarian 14:36, 23 October 2005 (UTC)


 * I'm not interested in becoming involved in the conflict between the two of you. I will, however, tell you that being uncivil and violating policy is not going to help your case. There are a variety of ways in which you can resolve disputes, so the two of you should explore some of them. Most importantly, to avoid escalating the situation, remember to always remain civil and assume good faith (even if the latter is particularly difficult for you). With regards to Royal Gibraltar Police, the copy-vio notice should remain until it has been verified. It appears to me to be a violation, but I'll leave it to the regulars a Copyright problems to decide. Thanks, --Cyberjunkie | Talk 14:49, 23 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your advice, but assumig "good faith" on his part is impossible, as he has proved beyond doubt that he is acting out of pure malice and sour grapes. Thnx --Gibraltarian 14:54, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

request for assistance
I have left a delete this page notice on Ruth_crisp and I have re-created an article about the subject at Ruth_Crisp. who actually does the delete? does it require an admin? if so please feel free. Mozasaur 08:45, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Deletion is an admin-only capability, so yes, you would need one to delete the page. However, I've redirected it to Ruth Crisp instead. Pages like that are eligible for speedy deletion. If you come across or create a page that meets the criteria for speedy deletion, add a delete or tag to the top.--Cyberjunkie | Talk 09:09, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Brisbane Coastal pages?
By the way I'm spending lots of time in Brisbane again very soon and I'm rally interested in adding to pages for the row of sand islands along the coast there, Stradbroke/Nth Stradbroke/Moreton Island, and perhaps Moreton Bay. I intend to go there and do heaps more photography etc, but info on camping and geology, flora and fauna would be good, i havent even checked yet but what categories are there for Australia for those topics? Mozasaur 08:45, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I have only alerted you because you have expressed interest in the maintenance of school articles on WP in the past. It is merely a request for you to consider the AfD as an editor who has expressed interest in similar AfDs in the past. If you don't wish to look at it, or indeed, even if you wish to vote to delete it, that is fine - I just thought perhaps you might be interested.--Nicodemus75 05:49, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Oh dear God what have I done?
Sorry about the vandalization, but I was trying to remove someone's elses vandalization and I just moved and I don't know how that happened. but it's 4:47 in the morning here and I'm trying to do a report as well, so I probably overlooked something. But why did you use "continue to vandalize"? It was just one thing. This is 65.32.198.109, by the way.
 * That's okay. The "continue" thing was just in case you were a vandal intent on continuing.--Cyberjunkie | Talk 08:53, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

TV screenshots
Hi, I am not sure that the screenshots you have been uploading count as "fair use". I am under the understanding that screenshots are only fair use if included in an article specificaly critiquing or discussing the program in question, no to be used as illustratoin of the general topic (As is described in the fair use screenshot copyright tags). --Martyman- (talk) 09:28, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The majority were uploaded before the extended definition was decided, and some even before film-screenshot was created. Admittedly, some probably don't qualify as fair use, but where no other images are yet sourced, I feel them appropriate.--Cyberjunkie | Talk 13:21, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Category rename
Hi, Cyberjunkie. I just noticed that we missed when discussing the categories at WP:AWNB, and so it wasn't included in the rename vote. Would it be ok to consider it covered by the vote, or does it need to be listed now? JPD (talk) 10:41, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
 * It should be fine to go ahead and rename it without submitting it to CfD. If anyone has a problem with it, it is always reversible. Though, I don't see why anyone would. --Cyberjunkie | Talk 12:36, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

RFA
Hi, I've answering your question here, I hardly ever go to RFA, so don't know where to put it, you can paste it there if you know where it's supposed to go.

I only speak of my own experience and that which is on the FAC page. In his reply to question 3 he lists two cases both unresolved which seem to have similarities to my experience, an editor walks out (I did that), and another accuses him of introducing inaccuracies, but that was medical, so architecture is less important, no one is going to die from confusing a staircase with a wall (well I suppose the could), but I felt he wanted to alter the balance, quality, and emphasis,of the page so perhaps there are similarities there. You must decide that for yourself. I have not stalked his edits, so really you'll have to form your own opinion, as to if he is bombastic, I certainly felt he was. Giano | talk 10:07, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi Giano. To keep the disussion coherent, I'll copy your reply to Tony's RfA. I hope you didn't feel I was attacking your vote. I respect your opinion. I was just hoping you might have been able to offer more information on the behaviour you think is inappropriate for an admin. I know Tony is fairly adament in his views on style (as am I, I suppose), but I haven't personally witnessed anything that might be described as "bombastic". I asked only because the objections have made me feel uncomfortable with my support, and I'm now leaning more towards neutrality, even though I congratulate Tony's efforts. I wanted to know, basically, if you think he is persistently "bombastic". Thank you anyway, --Cyberjunkie | Talk 10:22, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

User Gibraltarian
Hi Cyberjunkie. I'd like to know which is the procedure to "denounce" user Gibraltarian. You can see what I consider not fair in http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spain&action=history and http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=History_of_Gibraltar&action=history. From my point of view, Gibraltarian is removing factual information and trying to present one side of the dispute as it was the truth. He goes on being rude ("Ecemaml go away" or "Removed irrelevant & incorrect nonsense") without any attempt to discuss disagreements in relevant talk pages. I could be wrong and being biased myself. Therefore, I'd like that some neutral administrator or mediator try to settle this absurd dispute. What do you recommend me? Many thanks in advance. --Ecemaml 12:17, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Short of actually assisting (I'm busy, sorry), I can direct you Resolving disputes where you should find ideas on how to procede. If immediate assistance is required, please see the Administrators' Notice Board for Incidents. Sorry again, --Cyberjunkie | Talk 15:04, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

No problem Cyberjunkie. I'm myself an administrator of es.wikipedia, so that I know it takes a lot of time. I'll go to the Administrators' Notice Board for Incidents. Many thanks --Ecemaml 15:49, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Railways on Adelaide colours
Cyberjunkie, I dislike the way the colours are on the railway lines in Railways in Adelaide for two reasons. I didn't undo it as you said you'd come back to it. Firstly, colouring the text of the wikilink hides whether there's actually an article behind it. Perhaps write the name of the colour after the link to the line, and colour that? Not sure how they do it for other cities. Secondly, have you got the right colours? I thought the Gawler Line was blue. Thanks for the glowing nomination for Admin by the way. --Scott Davis Talk 13:46, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I'll have to get back to this too, I'm afraid. Just briefly: similar formatting is used for the other Australian cities. It was a stop-gap measure 'til I have time to create templates. Oh, and you're welcome, --Cyberjunkie | Talk 15:12, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

your comment
Entirely inappropriate? I don't care any more. Tony 02:22, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Then withdraw, Tony. This spiral of yours may have been provoked, but you have continued it un-necessarily. --Cyberjunkie | Talk 02:26, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Please consider not coming over as bossy—just a few polite words, 'may', 'please', 'why don't you', sprinkled at appropriate points, rather than abrupt assertions starting with 'you have' or 'you are', or bald commands—that itself is unbecoming of an administrator. I find it unpleasant. Tony 09:09, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Tony, I'm not quite sure what to make of your comment. It seems awfully fickle and provocative. All I have done is make suggestions to you on how to procede in a situation you clearly find distressing. You did not respond to any of them. I'm afraid you need to understand that RfA is a community process, and you need to make your intentions clear. If you don't want adminship, or if you plan to leave - as you have repeatedly stated - then you need to withdraw your acceptance. Please try not personalise my comments. --Cyberjunkie | Talk 09:29, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

See the bit I struck out? That's the offensive part, but aside from that, your tone was much better. Please don't lecture me and we'll get on just fine, OK? I suggest that you think about the impact of your brusque, sometimes bossy language on other WPians now that you're a sysop, in particular, when you're trying to persuade them to do or not to do something. I'm sorry to be straight with you, but it's been irritating me for some time.

As for the substance of your message, I don't have enough respect for the system now to bother ending it early—simple as that. The longer it goes on, the more of a farce it becomes, and that's good, in my view, because it shows how wrongly conceived it is. Please note the messages toward the bottom of the RfA page and on my user talk page concerning the fact that because of this RfA, change will happen. I'm going to bed, so if there's any more to say, I won't answer until tomorrow. Tony 11:10, 30 October 2005 (UTC) PS I don't mind if you remove parts of this response after reading it.


 * Quite simply, Tony, I think you have double standards. I feel you expect of others what you don't of yourself. That's all I'm going to say, because I get the impression you can't take others' being "straight with you".--Cyberjunkie | Talk 11:39, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, I find it hard to answer that without knowing what double standards you're referring to, and your assertions are not backed up by evidence. It's probably not productive to continue down that road. But I still have no indication of whether what I said about your language/tone has struck a chord. It's important if you're going to use your considerable admin skills to good effect. Tony 21:13, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

A different view
Hi Cyberjunkie,

Although I have no wish to become involved in this extremely unpleasant RFA, I have a strong desire to present an alternative view to Tony's view expressed above. In my opinion your behaviour since you became an admin has done you credit. From what I've seen you've maintained the balanced, polite and friendly approach to Wikipedia and your fellow Wikipedians that earned you adminship in the first place. Specifically, I think that your actions during this RFA have been entirely appropriate, and I hope that this difficult situation doesn't prompt you to change your approach to RFAs in future.

Stress/RFA
Hi. Sorry to see you're showing the pretty stressed sign. Your last comment on my RFA page was addressed to Kookykman, not to me, wasn't it? If I was into pointing sticks, I'd notice that of his <500 edits, five have an edit summary with "revert" in it, all on the same article, and he complains that too many people only watch their watchlist! That's less reverts than votes on RFA (9 users). --Scott Davis Talk 03:11, 31 October 2005 (UTC)


 * It was to Kookyman, yes. The stress is only partly influenced by Wikipedia. The majority is "real life" circumstance. Thanks, --Cyberjunkie | Talk 03:13, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Americanised dates
G'day Cyberjunkie,

I notice you changed (amongst other things) a date formatted as 2005-11-01 in order to "de-Americanise dates". It doesn't bother me one way or another (my preferences change all dates displayed to 1 November 2005 anyway), but I thought I'd point out that yyyy-mm-dd is not American. It's an international format, and (as I understand it) the idea is to stop people getting confused 'cos of the silly way Americans write dates.

The reason I personally tend to write yyyy-mm-dd because I have a nasty habit of transposing digits when writing dates, or of accidentally entering the wrong number (e.g. I think a typo of mine once resulted in readers thinking the Eureka Flag was created in the 20th century). By using an unfamiliar format I'm forced to take more care, and thus don't make that mistake as often.

Of course, if dates are properly wikified, it shouldn't matter (though there are exceptions). And, um, I've forgotten why I'm writing this now. But I had a reason, once, so it may be worthwhile to click "save". Um. --fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 07:37, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Cambelltown
I've been going through and making stubs for the eastern suburbs of Adelaide, but noticed the City of Cambelltown naming issue. I'm about to create "City of Cambelltown (South Australia)" if you don't mind so I can start making stubs and organise the suburb better.

Cheers, - >>michaelg | talk 03:44, 2 November 2005 (UTC)


 * (Butting in): both the LGA and the council websites seem to use Campbelltown City Council. I suggest you put a disambig link from the other one if possible, and update LGASA to contain the name you choose for the article. --Scott Davis Talk 05:24, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the congrats, and the glowing reference to start it off. I trust you enjoy your wikibreak and return to us with reduced stress levels (and good luck if exams are the cause).

My RFA only looks safe as I'm not interesting enough to have attracted a block of no voters like Tony1, Alphax or Haukurth. I hope I can live up to the trust and responsibilities I appear to be going to be given.

Anyway, enjoy your break. I'm planning a wikibreak of my own in a month or so. --Scott Davis Talk 04:07, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Current events in Australia and New Zealand
Since you're on wikibreak, I took the liberty of archiving this to October 2005 in Australia and New Zealand. I also fixed the current events template for the archive (but didn't bother going back to earlier months) set up redirects for November 2005 in Australia and New Zealand and December 2005 in Australia and New Zealand so the current events template doesn't show redlinks.

I archived by cut and paste, as recommended in How to archive a talk page, but I see that you normally moved the current page to the archive and then adjusted the result. The advantage of doing it my way is that people's watchlists don't unexpectedly get a new entry; the advantage of doing it your way is that the history goes with the archive and doesn't stay on the current page. I see the main current events page is archived your way, so feel free to continue in that manner in future.-gadfium 02:13, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

WikiProject Politics
I've put a notice on the Project page to suggest the Project be closed down. Shortly after starting it up I was away for over a month, and on returning realised that it's just too broad - looking at some of the more successful projects, they all focus on a narrow area were WP's content was significantly lacking and would therefore benefit from a concerted collaborative effort.

I do, however, intend to maintain the Portal and keep it updated. If you would like to help with this, drop a note at the Portal talkpage (or mine). I would like to set up a notice board of sorts to organise the efforts of those who want to keep the Portal going - apart from regularly showcasing new content and the news, those involved with the Portal can still help with things like voting for FA status and so forth, so it'd be good if you want to help out in this area.

Question: Why delete?
"12:53, 20 October 2005 Cyberjunkie deleted "Polish Hill River" (blatant copyvio)"

Now, I see that you're on a Wikibreak, that's fair enough, but I was just looking through old stuff, and it turns out that you deleted the Polish Hill River page. By "blatant copyvio" I assume you mean that its a 'blatant' infringement of copyright, now I was just wondering, why on earth would you think that? I created this article, by myself, and I can't understand how it was interpreted as a copyright infringement. Get back to me when you come back. Thankyou in advance.

l'australie sur le wikipédia français
hi,

i'm the contributor who recently changed the australia page to say that australia was not a continent. i am perfectly aware that it is commonly considered as a continent in australia but if you think about it, it doesn't really make sense and i at least in europe it isn't considered a continent at all. in fact, if you look at it, a continent is a vast stretch of land + a few islands around it. does this make australia + tasmania and a few other australian islands around it a continent? what happens to the other islands of oceania? are they another continent? why can't new zealand be considered a continent too then? or in that logic, what about madagascar? or the uk + ireland ? why aren't they continents too?

on the (french) "continent" page, australia isn't considered a continent. and on the "océanie" page it is considered as a part of this continent.

anyway, i don't know if you contributed largely to the english "australia" article (i guess there's a good chance you did though) but if you did, thanks a lot. you may have realised that the french article is looks a lot like the english one, that's cause it's a translation (which has a bit grown since though). i was the one who did it, having realised how poor the french article was. anyway, thanks a lot cause it's a good article and it saved me a hell of a time having all that well-built information at hand.

well, hope to hear from you on the wiki again, eek 19 november 2005 at 16:00 (CET)

This and that!
Hello! I hope you're well and enjoying your wikibreak (?). Thanks for fixing the Canada portal formatting; the thing I most hate are potentially arbitrary edits to rectify formatting ... and, of course, I have erroneously done this, too!

Of more substance, thanks for your prior vote to include the HDI in the country infobox/template. Things are moving: a discussion is well underway to finalise the precise arrangement and data so that this can be implemented. If you've already indicated a preference or have another, please comment there (and forgive me if you might have indicated to me previously your inability to comment further). I'm hopeful to close out this discussion in the next week (as a consensus seems to be forming) and to add the data to the relevant articles. If you are so compelled, weigh in ... or consider adding some data soon!

Thanks again, and take it easy! E Pluribus Anthony 23:10, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Snowtown and Wolf Creek
Why did you delete the reference to the Snowtown murders in the Wolf Creek movie spiel? The movie producers have said that it is based on 3 sets of murders, primarily focussed on the one in 1999. That can only mean Snowtown. It can't be the backpacker murders, because they were done in 1992 and before then (I think the first of them may have been in 1988 or something). You didn't give any explanation for why you were deleting it. Do you dispute the factual accuracy of it? Is it because it is only a logical conclusion that it must be based on the Snowtown murders, since no other major murder was committed in 1999? I dispute the assertion that it is primarily based on the backpacker murders. A large number of media outlets have similarly disputed it, because the person in Wolf Creek did not act in any way similar to how Ivan Milat is supposed to have acted. He tortured people and such. That is what happened in the Snowtown murders, and nowhere else. It can't be anything else. Please can you restore the edits. I am writing here to avoid an edit war. P.S. I had already explained this during my edit. 203.122.225.241 10:00, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry I didn't use an edit summary (I'm on Wikibreak and am thus lazy), and thank you for contacting me. I removed it because, whereas the producers have actually acknowledged the influence of backpacker murders and Falconio, Snowtown is pure speculation and considerably doubtful. But you are right that it wasn't primarily based on any particular incident. If you can provide a valid reference indicating the influence of Snowtown, then I'm not opposed to its mention in Wolf Creek. It's rather inconsequential to the actual Snowtown murders article, however. As an aside, have you considered creating an account? Thanks,--cj | talk 14:08, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
