Thanks on $1
Thanks for your edits at $1 and welcome to WP! Can I request that if you plan on becoming an active editor that you tput some text in your user page, so that you are no longer a "red" user. Most vandalism is commited by red-users and anon users, so legitimate users are better off blue :) Thanks again for your work! - grubber 23:05, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Images of Australian banknotes
Hi,

Thanks you for providing clearer images. Can I ask you to identify the replaced image, and add Image:Filename.png to the old image page, where "Image:Filename.png" is the new name. This way, the admin can delete the old image and reduce clutter on Wikipedia. Thank you. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 23:10, 2 February 2007 (UTC)


 * OK... which files did you have in mind?? I have added my images to Commons, so not to the English Wikipedia. (Extra3 23:12, 2 February 2007 (UTC))


 * Oh, such as Image:1 dollar f.jpg and Image:Old aust one dollar note(front).JPG. I know that you uploaded the new images to commons. That is great. So there's no need to keep the copy on the English Wikipedia anymore. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 23:16, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Category:Currencies of Australia
Whether this category should be in Category:Currencies of Oceania or in Category:Currencies of Asia and the Pacific, which is a parent of the first one, should be discussed on Category Talk:Currencies of Australia. Can we avoid an edit war? --Bduke 03:26, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Page moves for Australian Banknotes
Hey,

I noticed you moved all the Australian banknotes to new locations (eg. Five dollar note (Australian) to $5 note (Australian)). I was wondering if you had a particular reason in mind when you did it? Personally I feel it is more clearer in the old way, minus the special characters (ie "$") --DWZ (talk • email • contribs) 10:24, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey Extra3, thanks for getting back to me. I think I understand your position, but with respect, I don't think renaming the pages way to go, with redirects being used instead.  I've put up a "multiple page moves" request up here.  The discussion for this move is located at 10c coin (Australian).  Feel free to go over there, vote and give your reasons for keeping your changes.  Cheers --DWZ (talk • email • contribs) 04:18, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Half dollar v.s. 50 cent coin
Hi,

I notice 158.125.9.4 moved Half dollar to 50 cent coin. I'm wondering if it was you. IMHO, I think the old version is better. The reason is that not necessarily all the 50 cent are half dollar. Half euro is 50 cents. And and not all the half dollar is a coin. 50 Zimbabwean cents is a note. There exits a 50 cents article. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 22:22, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I did merge the articles; the reason being, to have one article for the definition of a '50 cent coin', rather than several (it seemed as if there were many articles defining the same subject. Would it not be better to combine all articles under this one, as it is possible to make distinctions, as needed?? (e.e. 50 cents may refer to  a Zimbabwean note etc. (158.125.9.4 02:25, 4 February 2007 (UTC))


 * Yes, I agree that we should reduce duplicated info whenever possible. Looking at the history, it appears to be that these are the sequence of events
 * 50 cent coin created
 * Half dollar changed to a redirect to 50 cent coin, by directly editing
 * 50 cents, an existing article, not edited
 * There are two points I'd like to point out
 * If you wish to move a page, it is best to use the "move" button at the top. This is done to keep the history of revision even before the move. If you create a page, and make the old page a redirect by directly editing it, then the history is in 2 places. Please understand that I'm not here to place blame. I know that you're still new to Wikipedia. There are subtle things that are not apparent at the beginning.
 * I don't have a problem merging these article, since half dollar is always 50 cents (at least to my knowledge). Please take a look at User:Chochopk/Note for the complicated situation. Let's work out a consistent and global plan for this.

MI5
Hi there, I noticed you moved the MI5 page to United Kingdom Security Service. If you'd checked the talk page, you'd have noticed that we'd already basically reached a consensus on MI5, since the service is almost always known by these initials, even if it is not its official name. Please check the discussion and the associated links and arguments, and you might want to reconsider. It has certainly never been known as the "United Kingdom Security Service" while at least at one point it was known as MI5. ConDem Talk 18:57, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

UK-bsoc-stub
Hi - I see you have recently created a new stub type. As it states at Stub, at the top of most stub categories, and in many other places on Wikipedia, it is recommended that new stub types are proposed prior to creation at WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, and whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies. Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there as to any rationale for this stub type. And please, in future, consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha?  06:55, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
