Hi all.

Happy to hear from anybody who wants to work on content to cover areas like UN interventions, particularly in Africa.

I'm also interested in WW2 history, particularly Australian and British forces. Mat Hardy (Affentitten) 23:19, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank You!
I'm not sure how I missed it before, but I just saw your message on my page (I moved the message to my talk page). Thanks! It was good working with you on that article. If there are any others like it that you might like my help with, let me know! Also, VERY cool that you've recently had something published. Is it on the internet? If so, please let me know the link.

Speedy deletion of Twelve Canoes
A tag has been placed on Twelve Canoes requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. HalJor (talk) 00:09, 20 September 2008 (UTC)


 * be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay Good intentions and noble motives do not create notability. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  00:24, 20 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry if I came across as condescending. I went to the website, and it was nice enough, but there was nothing notable about it, and googling for it provided no evidence of notability. If you had some such evidence, why wasn't it in the article in the first place? -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  00:45, 20 September 2008 (UTC)


 * If you'd like, I could restore the deleted material to a sandbox in your userspace so that you could craft a sturdier version more suitable for actual posting as an article. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  13:02, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

12 Canoes is a seriously notable Australian Movie - made by and of native Original Residents, and has received massive International acclaim. I suppose it has gone totally unnoticed in the USA media, that sort of thing is normal, except for Paris Hilton's latest escapade. I haven't been active for a few months due to health and age, but this new obsessive frantic speedy deletion (no more than 1 minute for mine) is making me feel that my contributions are unwanted, and possibly 'unneeded'. 12 Canoes is perhaps the single most notable movie made in the last 5 years - Hollywood can perhaps put up "Schindler's List" as somewhere equally notable. Go for it Matt! I say the article should be restored forthwith as reparation for an overspeedy deletion. FoolesTroupe (talk) 23:17, 23 September 2008 (UTC)


 * No, Ten Canoes is a seriously notable Australian movie, and has an article here in Wikipedia (as well it should). This article was about a website inspired by Ten Canoes. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  16:33, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

I hope this has now been sorted out - 12 Canoes IS related to 10 canoes - it is notable itself IMO. OK I mistakenly called it a 'movie' - but it is effectively a bunch of smaller sequel ones not released thru the movie moguls, but direct to the web - this may be more common in future. ooops -oh, it's alright this 'prediction' is not in an article.... hehe. Thanks for your efforts. FoolesTroupe (talk) 08:41, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Meetup time again
Hi all, it's Meetup time again :-) - Hopefully you'll be up for meeting on April 22nd at about 6pm at The Paragon, a pub in Circular Quay. It'll be the usual round of drinks and chit chats, with no particular agenda, just some friendly faces, and a shared interest in Wiki stuff. If you've thought about coming along before, but haven't made it - we'd love to see you - it'll be a relaxed, social chin wag about all things wiki - bring anyone along you fancy, and I hope you can make it :-)

Please do sign up on the meetup page, and do also feel free to nominate an alternative time / date / location if for whatever reason the 21st doesn't work for you - we're an accommodating bunch :-) cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 04:11, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Sydney Meetup
I think you may have been notified by email, but I thought it was worth my dropping in a note anywhoo, to let you know that Sydney Wikipedians are having a meetup this coming Tuesday, the 4th August. As you'll see on that page, we have two folk flying in from the Wikimedia Foundation who will be attending, and we have a great crowd of wiki types signed up to come along.

If you've never been to a meetup before, this wouldn't be a bad one to kick off with (we're all very friendly, interesting, and great looking folk ;-), and if you have, well come along again, why don't ya! If you've any questions you can flick the aussie mailing list an email on wikimediaau-l@lists.wikimedia.org aussie mailing list, or drop me a note on my talk page. Hope to see some of you there!

ps. If you've already signed up, and received an email, and a phone call, and a door knock, and are getting a bit frustrated with constant advances from enthusiastic australian wiki types, then I'm told you can print this message, and bring it along to use as a 'free beer' voucher, redeemable by our esteemed Vice-President of WMAU on the night...... ;-) Privatemusings (talk) 22:06, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Meetup Time in Sydney :-)
Hi all,

It's meetup time again in Sydney - hopefully you'll be able to come along for friendly chat and drinks about all things wiki - topics will no doubt include the Chapter - perhaps with planning for the upcoming AGM, the general state of wiki-play, and the traditional candle lighting to encourage the mythical flagged-revisions extension to make its way on to the wiki. At this point, I usually mention that sitting wiki arbitrators are compelled to buy everyone a drink, but one of our number has taken a rather extreme route in avoiding this duty - if you have no idea what I'm talking about then you're probably busy writing and maintaining articles - but come along anyways on the 21st October, from 18.30 til late, to find out :-) cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 21:33, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

NetComm Limited
NetComm Limited is an Australian-based developer and provider of Internet connectivity hardware for the commercial and retail markets. The firm’s product range includes dial-up, ADSL, 3G and VOIP hardware, as well as managed network services. Founded in 1993, NetComm is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX: NTC).

Company history and performance
NetComm was listed on the ASX in 1993 and was an early developer of dial-up modems. The company was acquired during 1996-1997 by a competitor, Banksia Technologies, and has grown since that time through a combination of organic expansion and by acquiring other companies with relevant technologies and IP. This has included the acquisition of Call Direct (industrial 3G modems) and C10 Communications (DSL filters products).

Last Australian Financial Year, NetComm recorded a revenue of AUS$78.5 million, a 305% increase on the previous reporting period.

Products
NetComm’s product lines include equipment and services targeted at consumers, small-medium sized businesses, commercial applications (hospitality, industrial infrastructure) and ISPs. The majority of current products are concerned with wireless networking, either from an ADSL or 3G connection. NetComm has a recent track record of working with Sierra Wireless to jointly develop products, specifically in the 3G sector.

One of NetComm’s major customers is Telstra, who market NetComm’s embedded 3G residential gateways under their own BigPond branding. This includes the BigPond Elite Network Gateway, arguably the world’s first HSPA+ embedded modem-router. (NetComm also supplies the same device outside Australia, where it is marketed as the 3G21Wn.)

In New Zealand, some NetComm products are marketed under the Dynalink brand.

During 2009, NetComm signalled its intention to focus on expanding its markets outside Australia, particularly in the Middle East and other regions where 3G networks can offer greater potential coverage than fixed line services. At the end of 2009, the company announced it had signed a global supply agreement with the UAE-based carrier Etisalat.

categories
I just wacked a few article cateories that your talk page had been included in, please be careful copying material from articles as user pages shouldnt be in article categories. Gnangarra 03:50, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
 * in this edit you copied in text from an article included in the text was the category tags for the article(last few lines of the green section in the link), this then caused your talk page to also be included in the categories. Gnangarra 05:56, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

invite to WWI editathon this Saturday
There is a backstage pass coming up to be followed by an editathon in the State Library of New South Wales on Saturday 23 November. This is the first time that an Australian cultural institution has opened its doors to us in this way and will be a special opportunity because the Library is providing: one of its best rooms; its expert curators (along with their expertise and their white gloves); a newly launched website (containing new resources); and of course, items from its collection (including rare and usually unavailable material) which we can look at, learn from, and use, to improve WP articles. For example, on the chosen topic (Australia and WWI), the Library holds many diaries and manuscripts from the period.

As you can see from the Library's project page, they have connected this editathon with their own work. They have already set out a wide range of resources to make things easier for us. Please sign up on the editathon project page if you can participate either online or in person with other Wikipedians. Hope to see you there! (Sorry if you've received this message before - I did a quick check but didn't see it.) 99of9 (talk) 10:33, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
