Kiribati dollars
Coins’ emission of a very small quantity of Kiribati dollars, nearly interrupted since 1989 (for the 10th anniversary of the Republic) is entirely made and organised by Australian authorities as the Kiribati dollar doesn’t exist as a separate currency, but only as a pegged currency to Australian dollar. So if you got any source, it will be interesting to support your recent contributions. thanks for your help. Arorae (talk) 10:59, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

Rail operators in Victoria
I noticed you have been fixing the Bayside, Hillside and M>Train references of Metro services. I have put together the following table to help explain the train and tram operators in Victoria. -- ThylacineHunter  (talk) 10:52, 25 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Although, the name Bayside Trains was kept until October 2000 and Hillside Trains changed name in July 2000. -- ThylacineHunter  (talk) 11:00, 25 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for providing these info. I am aware that the name change did not occur until 2000, which is why I put "(government operator)" within those operator tables to distinguish from the post-privatisation entities. It also appears that PTC was only split into those operations on 1 July 1998 as opposed to the October 1997 date that was used across Wikipedia. See this report from the Institue of Public Affairs.  Marc nut 1996  (talk) 11:12, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Second reference: .  Marc nut 1996  (talk) 11:19, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks you for those, I was unaware of those. I also didn't know the the Met ones were a year later than V/Line ones. I'll do some more research into this, but I'm happy to change it to 1998 as those documents are reliable.
 * Also, was Stony Point operated by Bayside Trains? I didn't think they took non-electric lines. -- ThylacineHunter  (talk) 11:31, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * You will also need to double check the operators listed in the top infobox. -- ThylacineHunter  (talk) 11:33, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Now that I know that PTC was split up on 1 July 1998 and not October 1997, this meant Bayside Trains did not operate Stony Point at all (I previously thought they operated it between October 1997 and July 1998 but this was not possible). And yes the operator list in infobox needs to be fixed too.  Marc nut 1996  (talk) 11:34, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I am consulting a friend at the railway archives.
 * I have a published book saying the trams were rebranded in 1997, but it may be incorrect if it is based on the incorrect info from here.
 * The Bayside / Hillside, Connex / M>Train, & Swanston (and later M>Tram) / Yarra eras are all very lacking in reference material, and even their split network maps from that time are hard to find. -- ThylacineHunter  (talk) 12:08, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree, the lack of reference material could mean the dates are all wrong. I am also struggling with finding out the detailed history of Connex Melbourne and what is the ownership composition of it.  Marc nut 1996  (talk) 12:13, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Forgot to ping you .  Marc nut 1996  (talk) 13:06, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I may have found something relating to the split of the trams: Yarra Trams article. "Met Tram 1" and "Met Tram 2" may be the names from 1997 to 1998. If so, I'd guess at "Met Train 1" and "Met Train 2" as potential names for Bayside / Hillside. I will nee to head into the railway library to have a look at some publications from 1997/98.
 * I'll also have a look for Railway Digest September 1998 for that reference re Stony Point. -- ThylacineHunter  (talk) 04:13, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I have just acquired some 1997/1998 Newsrail magazines. Here is when the following became seperate corporations:
 * V/Line Freight, Victorian Rial Track Corporation (VRT) (trading as Vic Track Access) was on 1 July 1997
 * V/Line Passenger, Hillside, Bayside, Swanston and Yarra was on 1 July 1998
 * Newsrail September 1998, page 270, article title: Privatisation of Victorian Rial, by Sid Brown.
 * Hope this helps. -- ThylacineHunter  (talk) 00:41, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, that seems consistent to what we just learnt last week. Any information on who operated Stony Point?  Marc nut 1996  (talk) 00:55, 2 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Not yet. -- ThylacineHunter  (talk) 06:28, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Turns out Stony Point was also covered in Newsrail September 1998. "On 1 July 1998, operation of the Stony Point line passed from V/Line to Bayside Trains" taken from Newsrail September 1998, page 266, article title: Change in Management of Stony Point Service, by C Banger.
 * I have updated the relevant articles with correct dates (we are still in the process of updating the North Melbourne group of lines, and I'll change them as we get to their pages in the coming week or 2). -- ThylacineHunter  (talk) 10:32, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
